NovelEnglishAs soon as Lukas entered, he tossed his coat onto the sofa and headed toward his desk.
Today, he had cstraight to the office from the hotel.
That woman, Reese, dared to call him disgusting. No matter what, he couldn't easily forgive her this time. He
would definitely not bow his head to her.
While he was lost in thought, Martins knocked and entered.
"Mr Strakovski, we've got sleads on last night's incident. However, we haven't identified the mastermind
yet. The driver was a death row prisoner. He died before reaching the hospital. The car had a fake license plate.
He had escaped from prison recently. Why he chose to crash into you is still unclear. After his escape, he hadn't
contacted anyone. It's a puzzling situation!" Martins reported truthfully.
Lukas's expression instantly darkened.
There was no need for further speculation. It was clearly an intentional murder attempt.
His voice turned chilling, "Continue investigating his social connections. He dared to trade his life for mine.
Someone must have offered substantial benefits. This person who gained from his actions likely has a close

Martins nodded, "Understood, Mr Strakovski. | will continue the investigation. But there's another matter..."
Martins suddenly hesitated.
Lukas couldn't help but frown, "What else?"
Martins took out his phone and handed it to Lukas, "It's about the scandal between you and Miss Rose."
Martins didn't know the true nature of Lukas's relationship with Rose.
However, as there had already been two scandals involving them, Lukas hadn't addressed them, and Martins
couldn't quite grasp Lukas's thoughts on the matter.
As soon as Lukas saw the news, he emitted an air of impending storm, "Is Rose responsible for this?"
Seeing his displeasure, Martins quickly shook his head, "I don't know. However, if you need it, | can suppress the
news right now."
Lukas remained silent for a moment before shaking his head, "Suppressing it now will only makeappear
guilty."
Martins's eyes flickered, "Then should we address it directly?"
Lukas didn't even hesitate, "No."
He had a falling out with Reese. He definitely wouldn't proactively clarify the situation. He didn't want to come
across as if he had something to hide.
Martins contemplated the situation. Lukas must care about Reese's opinion, which was why he was upset.
He suggested, "How about explaining it directly to Miss Roberts? The rumors will fade away after a while."
Lukas immediately rejected the idea, "Impossible."
"Ah!" Martins stiffened, suddenly unsure of what to say next.
Lukas's face remained cold. He had argued with Reese, so he wasn't about to voluntarily explain himself now. It
would make him appear as if he were in the wrong.
Martins pondered for a moment. Lukas cared about Reese's feelings, which was the source of his anger.
He proposed, "Bring Rose here."

Martins wasn't sure what Lukas had in mind, but he nodded respectfully,
"Certainly, Mr Strakovski."
At the stime, in the design department...
Rose and Anika entered.
Rose had a smug expression on her face. She hadn't expected that the scene from last night would be captured
in photos.
As long as Lukas investigated, he would know that she had nothing to do with it. She was innocent!
She had ctoday specifically to apologize to Lukas. She wanted him to know that she didn't intentionally try
to get close to him. The incident had been an accident.
Reese remained expressionless. Leading Rose and Anika, she entered the meeting room, causing a stir outside.
"Oh my goodness, a scandal has just broken, and she's already here in our company. She's determined to make
sure everyone knows!"
"Her intention is as clear as day. She's here to declare her sovereignty!"
