Lukas' voice was calm, "We didn't know about the blind date before. | didn't know that you were going to arrange
it this way, and you didn't know that | was married. As far as the Young family is concerned, just give them some
compensation and make them keep their mouth shut. Isn't that what they cto our door for?"
Yvonne thought for a moment, "That's right, they just think that we will compensate their family no matter what,
just to save face. That doesn't bother me, but... what kind of woman is your wife, Lukas?"
Although Yvonne tried to hide her curiosity with subtlety, it was evident in her voice.
Lukas was silent for a moment and then he said, "I didn't tell you about my marriage and her identity before
because her relationship withwasn't stable yet. But the situation is different now. In a few days, I'll bring her
hto meet you."
When Yvonne heard this, her voice was full of surprise, "Really? That's great. | wasn't sure if it was true or not,
that is why | hadn't told your brother about it yet. When you chwith her by your side, | will inform your
brother so that we can have a proper meal together as a family!" she said.
Lukas nodded, "Okay, when | bring her home, I will tell you in advance. | have a few other things to take care of

Lukas hung up and finally contacted the company.
When he learned from a company executive that the company planned to fire Reese because of the extremely
bad impact of her nude photos on the Internet, Lukas' handsface completely darkened.
He said directly, "I'm going back to the company for a meeting in the afternoon. Regarding Reese, | will tell
everyone my decision during the meeting!"
After Lukas had finished speaking, he hung up the phone without giving the senior executive a chance to make
any further inquiries.
Most people in the company believed that even if the CEO brought Reese to Strakovski Jewelry, he would not
hesitate to terminate her employment if her actions damaged the company's reputation.
At Rivers Health Medical Center
As Reese and Ava rushed into the hospital, Mariel was in the middle of sipping a bowl of porridge.
At the sight of Reese and Ava, Mariel put down her bowl! of porridge with a sheepish smile. "Reese, Ava, you are
here!"
Seeing the white gauze wrapped around Mariel's neck, Reese's eyes suddenly turned red, "Why..."
Her voice trailed off as she couldn't say the rest of the words. Just now, on her way to the ward, she had
overheard the nurses discussing what had happened the previous night with tic urgency as if they'd all
seen it with their own eyes.
But Reese knew that Mariel had been in an incredibly dangerous situation, even if those little nurses were
exaggerating.
Ava looked at Mariel with a flash of concern in her eyes, "How are you feeling now? Are there any other injuries?"
When Mariel saw the desperate and worried expressions on Reese and Ava's faces, she quickly said, "No, I'm
really fine!"
As she spoke, she moved her legs and arms, but a grimace crossed her face as the wound on her neck was
causing her to feel uncomfortable.

Reese immediately becnervous, "What's wrong? Did you touch your wound by mistake?"
Mariel didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She pointed to the wound on her neck and said, "No, it's just a little
scratch here. Everything else is fine.
| was scared last night, but my
injuries are relatively minor!"
Reese's eyes turned red seeing Mariel like this, "If you hadn't gone out last night
to help me, you wouldn't be hurt like this!"
Seeing Reese's guilty expression,
Mariel was worried, "Reese, please don't say that. If there hadn't been problems between Walter andbefore
he wouldn't have had his sights on me. After all, this situation isn't your fault. Please don't put this burden on
yourself; it will only weigh you down.
