Reese stared at Lukas in shock, not knowing how to describe her feelings at this moment.

However, Lukas didn't give her any chance to speak and simply turned and left.

His words weighed heavily on Reese, and Lukas's steps seemed to be a bit lighter.

Reese stared at Lukas's figure, at a loss for words.

She never expected Lukas to throw back at her everything she said downstairs.

What a vengeful man he was!

Quietly in her heart, Reese cursed, "Lukas, you jerk!"

Then, in a fit of pique, she hummed angrily, slammed the door shut, and went back to the bathroom to continue

her shower.

She shouldn't have opened the door while still in the middle of showering for this

man.

Lukas returned to the master bedroom with his things and realized that his behavior just now was a bit

childish.

However, he couldn't deny that he felt much better after saying those things.

But then, he suddenly remembered that he would need to take sleeping pills tonight, and his mood soured again.

This was probably the price he had to pay for the momentary satisfaction of his words.

He had clearly stated to Reese that they had distinct boundaries, but now, he probably couldn't explain if he

went to share her bed again.

Lukas closed his eyes, took two sleeping pills, and lay down.

The next morning, Lukas woke up in a bad mood.

Although he fell asleep with the sleeping pills last night, it was not the sfeeling as naturally falling

asleep with Reese in his arms.

He felt inexplicably restless.

During breakfast, Reese asked him, "Mr. Strakovski, are you going to the court for the plagiarism case

today?"

Reese's state seemed completely unaffected by their conversation last night.

Lukas felt even more uncomfortable. He didn't even look up and replied, "Martins will go."

The events of the previous night were still lingering in Lukas's mind. He found it hard to concentrate on anything

else.

In the end, he decided to focus on his work. He immersed himself in reviewing the case files, hoping it would

distract him from the unsettling thoughts. Meanwhile, Reese was occupied with her own work as well, trying her

best not to think about the recent developments in their relationship.

As days passed, Lukas and Reese kept their distance, both professionally and personally. They avoided

unnecessary interactions, and their relationship becmore like colleagues than a married couple.

Even though Lukas tried to convince himself that it was for the best, he couldn't shake off the feeling of unease

and regret that seemed to grow within him. As much as he wanted to maintain a clear boundary. his heart

couldn't help but be pulled towards Reese's presence.

Meanwhile, Reese tried her best to stay focused on her career and personal growth, but she couldn't deny the

emotional turmoil she felt. She wondered if it was a mistake to marry someone she barely knew and whose

feelings towards her were so complicated.

Both Lukas and Reese were struggling internally, each grappling with their feelings and uncertainties. Little did

they know that their lives were about to take an unexpected turn, bringing them face to face with challenges

that would force them to confront their true emotions.

Reese nodded, quickly finished her breakfast, and grabbed her car keys before leaving.

At the company, Reese clocked in and spent stworking on design drafts. When it was almost time, she

decided to head to the courthouse.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the plagiarism case between Reese and Alexa officially began.

This was the first tReese had seen Alexa since being framed by Ricardo.

Reese had no intention of acknowledging him, but to her surprise, Ricardo walked over and started a

conversation with her. "Reese, how have you been during this time?"

With so many media reporters around, Reese couldn't lose her temper.

She replied coldly, "I'm doing fine."

Ricardo sighed and put on a show for the media, "Reese, | know that Alexa copied your design drafts, and

your sister. you must be angry. Honestly, both Aunt Olive and | are angry with her too. But she's still

Regardless of the trial's outcome, please spare her."

Reese never expected Ricardo to say these things in front of the media.

If she insisted on not forgiving her sister, she would be criticized. If she let it go, she wouldn't be able to

swallow the bitterness in her heart.

Just then, Alexa added fuel to the fire.

She walked over, looking pale and weak, as if she might faint at any moment. Her wrist was wrapped in

gauze.

Reese was afraid that Alexa would pull a stunt in front of the reporters, so she subconsciously stepped

back.

But to her surprise, Alexa bowed ninety degrees in front of the media and said to Reese with a crying tone,

"Sister, I'm sorry. No matter what happened before, it's all my fault. | owe you an apology."

Her voice was filled with a sob as she continued to bow, "Sister, | truly regret my actions. Please forgive

me, okay?"

Reese stared at Alexa with a stiff expression. In front of the media, she couldn't curse at her directly.

But there was no way she would forgive Alexa for what she had done. It was like a dream to expect that.

Reese was stuck in a difficult situation, her face turning ugly.

At this moment, speople started to sympathize with Alexa.

"They are actually sisters. Reese doesn't need to fight so hard for a win."

"Alexa looks pitiful, coming to the court with injuries."

"Forgive and forget. Since Alexa has apologized, it's not kind of Reese to keep holding on."

People who hadn't experienced something themselves were quick to judge others and teach them how to

be human.

Reese clenched her fists, her face turning blue. She never expected Alexa to make a scene in front of the media

on the day of the trial.

What was even more despicable was that people easily forgave those who hadn't suffered, making them

appear so noble.

The media cameras recorded this scene clearly. With a pale face, Reese seemed

to have lost before the trial even began.

Then, a mocking sneer sounded.

A carefree voice said, "If apologies worked, what do we need the police for?"
