NovelOnlineLukas calmly looked at Reese and softly spoke, "Previously, at The Night Prowl, when you were bullied by Magnus
Xavier, Elena was the one instigating and encouraging him to do so."
Reese's face changed immediately upon hearing this.
No wonder Lukas had apologized to her today. He probably knew that it was James who had saved her that day,
and he understood why she had stood up for James.
Her expression beccomplex.
It took her so long to uncover the truth behind this incident, and it turned out to be like this!
She looked at Elena, her expression turning to one of disgust, even more profound than her disdain for
Gwendolyn.
Recalling that night in the private room when she was surrounded by Magnus Xavier and his group, feeling
trapped and desperate, she wished she could slaughter Elena and feed her to the dogs!

She spoke with an indifferent tone, "Mr. Strakovski, I'll follow your lead in handling this matter. | have no
objections to how you choose to deal with her."
Reese vividly remembered that the last tshe spared Gwen, she and Lukas had nearly died in that
dilapidated, pitch-black rural shack.
Upon hearing Reese's words, Lukas's expression visibly softened considerably. Clearly, Reese's explanation had
satisfied him.
Elias hadn't expected that Elena not only implanted a virus into his computer but also conspired with Magnus
Xavier to tarnish Reese's reputation.
No wonder Lukas was so furious. Elias's mind was in turmoil.
Lukas calmly looked at Elias. "After this meal, | don't want to see Elena again."
Before Elias could say anything, Mr. Schmidt suddenly stood up and knelt beside his chair, facing Elias and
Lukas. "Elias, Mr. Stakovski, Elena has lost her way. I'm not sure what wrong she's done, but | beg you, give her a
chance at life. She's my only daughter! If you want someone killed or punished, do it toinstead! Please, |
implore you!"
Elias's face becextremely unsightly. Mr. Schmidt was someone he respect and had saved his life. He was an
honest person through and through. Elias genuinely didn't want to see Mr. Schmidt acting so humbly.
He was about to stand up and assist him when Lukas gave him a frigid glance.
Gritting his teeth, Elias looked at the trembling Elena. "Did you do all of these things?"
Elena's face turned pale, tears streaming down her cheeks. She dared not utter a single word.
Elias was so infuriated that his face turned pale. "You fool, help your dad up first!" Elena quickly staggered to her
feet and went to assist her father.
Elias was an astute person. He didn't want to help Elena, but he wanted to help Mr. Schmidt.

He didn't ask for Lukas's intervention. That would too easily strain his friendship with Lukas.
During this time, he had observed how Lukas stood up for Reese, took hits for her, all because she was easily
shaken. This woman's significance to Lukas was clearly not ordinary.
Calmly, he looked at Reese and spoke, "Reese, do you mind if | call you that?" Reese shook her head. "No, not at
all."
In the past, he would always address her as "Miss Roberts." This way of addressing her was an obvious attempt
to foster closer ties.
He said, "Elene is foolish, malicious, and clearly deserves severe punishment. The things she did to you and the
losses she caused to our jointly owned gaming company with Lukas makefurious. Not just him, even | feel
like giving her a hard time!"
"However, her father, Mr. Schmidt, is a good person, my senior, and he's saved my life. | truly can't ignore him. |
know you dislike Elena, but considering my face, spare her life. | promise you won't see her again in the future. Is
that acceptable?"
Reese looked conflicted as she glanced at Elias, then turned her head to look at Lukas.
