A Perfect Lie Hides Behind My Billionaire Marriage (reese and hudson)

Reese glanced out of the car window, and her expression changed instantly.

While she was conversing with Lukas earlier, she hadn't realized that the car was veering off course. Now, she

had no idea where they were in this desolate and uninhabited place.

All of this occurred in a split second.

Despite Lukas's command, not only did the car not cto a halt, but it actually accelerated further.

Lukas's face instantly turned incredibly dark. When he had left the hospital, he had only noticed his car; he

hadn't paid any attention to the driver.

Assuming it was a driver arranged by his people, he didn't think twice, completely unaware that the driver had

been changed.

This was the first the had made such a rookie mistake.

He quickly stood up, intending to subdue the man in the driver's seat.

However, the man suddenly accelerated the car and crashed it brutally into a roadside pillar.

The violent jolt of the car made Lukas release his grip on the man's arm, turning around abruptly to shield Reese

with his own body.

In the critical moment, his mind went blank, and his instinctive response was to protect the woman beside him.

Reese keenly felt the incredible strength with which Lukas held her. In that instant, her heart loosened slightly, a

hard-to-describe feeling spreading from deep within her heart.

Taking advantage of the chaos, the man who had been driving forcefully opened the car door and leaped out.

Lukas released Reese, preparing to exit the car and chase the man. However, his hand froze just as it touched

the door handle.

The light from several flashlights flickered in the dim surroundings, revealing the scene outside.

He saw clearly that they were surrounded by a group of men brandishing steel pipes outside the car.

He would have been foolish if Lukas hadn't grasped the situation yet. They were being ambushed.

Reese's face turned pale. She struggled to keep her voice calm as she held onto Lukas's arm. "Don't act

impulsively when you get out of the car. Let's find out what they want. They surely wouldn't be causing trouble

for no reason."

Seeing the outnumbered situation, Lukas's tone grew serious: "I know. Stay in the car for now. I'll go out and talk

to them."

Reese, observing the perilous situation, nodded, "Okay."

She didn't want to beca burden to Lukas once they were outside the car.

Lukas was about to open the car door when a flashlight suddenly shone directly into his eyes, causing him to

instinctively shield his eyes with his hand.

As a result, the man on the other side wielded a steel pipe and struck the car window glass with a resounding

thud, cursing angrily, "Damn it, why haven't you gotten out? You wantto invite you out, huh?"

Lukas opened the car door with a composed expression, becoming fully exposed to the glare of the surrounding

flashlights.

Fortunately, they didn't launch a direct attack right away.

Even in this situation, Lukas maintained a basic level of composure.

In a calm tone, he asked, "Who sent you? What do you want?"

With a tattoo on his arm, the leader of the men leaned the steel pipe on his shoulder. He tugged at the corner of

his mouth and raised his chin mockingly, looking at Lukas. "What does it matter if you find out? Under these

circumstances, are you still thinking about staying alive?"

Lukas calmly locked eyes with him, a glint of darkness passing through his gaze.

"I don't want trouble. However, whoever sent you and whatever they've offered, | can triple it for you."

The group of thugs burst into loud laughter upon hearing this.

"Boss, did you hear that? This pretty boy actually says he'll give us three times what we were offered."

"Are pretty boys this arrogant nowadays? It's really funny."

"Who knows, maybe he's more skilled in certain areas and has all the women wrapped around his finger.

Naturally, his confidence has swelled."

"Hahaha."

Listening to the vulgar banter of the thugs, Lukas's expression turned frosty, and he remained silent.

As the leader of the men raised his hand, the laughter of his underlings immediately ceased.

He extended his hand, gripping Lukas's cheek directly. "Pretty boy, don't make empty promises. Who knows,

maybe we can spare your life."

He didn't believe a word of Lukas's offer, assuming that the man was merely ignorant of their potential earnings.

After he finished speaking, he smugly patted Lukas's face.

Suddenly, he felt Lukas's sharp gaze locking onto him, the eyes filled with a chilling and icy intent to kill.

His hand froze, and he inexplicably felt a sense of unease.

Afraid of exposing his fear to his underlings, he awkwardly withdrew his hand and turned away.

Just now, during that split second, when the pretty boy looked at him, he sensed a killing intent. It was truly

uncanny.

He signaled his underlings, "Don't forget who our target is. First, get that woman out of the car and take her

away."

Lukas's expression grew dark as he stood in front of the car, blending into the night. "Your target is her."

The man was slightly intimidated by the intense gaze Lukas had given him earlier. He turned around, grabbed

the steel pipe, and swung it toward Lukas's leg, cursing all the while, "Who do you think you are? Why should |

answer your questions?"

As a result, his steel pipe swung through empty air. Lukas instinctively dodged and reached out to grab the steel

pipe.

The man's face changed. He hadn't expected this pretty boy to have stricks up his sleeve.

He suddenly becirritable. "Get him! Beat him to death!"

In an instant, a chaotic barrage of steel pipes cat Lukas.

Lukas exerted force to pull the pipe from the man's hand, spun around, and deflected the incoming attacks with

the pipe.

The darkness concealed his ferocious expression as he deftly evaded this group of assailants, striking with

precision. Their screams filled the air. Seeing the situation turn dire, the man seized the opportunity while Lukas

was distracted, swiftly circling around and forcefully yanking Reese out of the car.

Reese responded with a swift over-the-shoulder throw and then turned to assist Lukas.

The man hadn't anticipated that not only was the pretty boy hard to deal with, but this woman was also tough as

nails.

Seizing the moment before Reese could react, he quickly rose from the ground, grabbed her neck from behind,

and withdrew a dagger from his pocket. He aimed it at her throat, his tone urgent and infuriated: "Pretty boy,

you better stop, or I'll kill this woman right now."

Lukas's movements froze as he observed the situation on Reese's end. He immediately ceased his resistance.
