The reason he had invited Mr. Schmidt to this meal was because he knew that Elias would certainly plead on His
behalf. He wanted Mr. Schmidt to understand that Elias's debt of gratitude to him had been repaid.
Reese felt somewhat helpless. "Indeed, | wanted to follow your lead in this matter. However, with Mr. Elias saying
this and considering he's your friend, I'm caught in a dilemma. Mr. Strakovski, | believe... you should
understand!"
Raising his gaze, Lukas looked at Elias and said, "What's this? You think that if you can't convince me, you'll go
ask Reese for help?"
Elias smiled. "No, not at all. | was just thinking that | owe Reese an enormous favor this time."
Lukas sneered. "Just don't letsee her again in the future. Otherwise, | won't spare her."

Mr. Schmidt quickly nodded. "Thank you, Mr. Strakovski. Thank you, Miss Reese. Thank you, Elias. I'll... no,
tonight, I'll take her abroad. From now on, we won't cback!"
After hearing Mr. Schmidt words, Elias added, "I'll have someone keep an eye on them!"
Only then was Lukas satisfied.
With everything settled, a single glance from Lukas, and Mr. Schmidt left with Elena, looking disheveled.
Reese had a meal that she barely tasted, quietly pretending to be mute while listening to Mr. Elias and Lukas
converse.
On the way back.
Lukas drove the car, then suddenly spoke, "You addressedas 'Mr. Strakovski' again today!" Reese paused for
a moment, immediately realizing, and somewhat uncomfortably responded, "Mr. Stra... Lukas, there were many
people around, and | wasn't used to it!"
Lukas glanced at her from the corner of his eye and said calmly, "Then you'll adapt gradually from now on."
Reese nodded, "Okay."
After a two-second silence, she sincerely thanked Lukas, "Thank you for helpingavenge what Magnus and
Elena did."
Lukas suddenly curled his lips, "No need to thank me. It's just that you've barely repaid my favor, and you've
already racked up another one."
Reese chuckled nervously, "I... | will repay it."
Lukas ignored her expression and spoke with a significant tone, "You don't have to be so nervous. Actually,
repaying a favor doesn't necessarily have to be as significant as last time, helpingwith a huge favor. I'm
quite reasonable."
Reese rolled her eyes. If he were reasonable, there probably wouldn't be anyone reasonable in this world.

repayment for the favor."
Reese's face immediately flushed, her scalp tingling, and she becextremely nervous, "M-Mr. Strakovski, you
must be joking!"
Lukas gave her a half-smile and glanced at her, "Do you think I'm joking?"
Blushing, Emiia pressed her lips together and didn't speak, her heart beating irregularly.
Lukas didn't continue teasing her. Instead, he changed the topic, "Speaking of which, you're my wife now. Mr.
King risked himself to save you and got retaliated against by Magnus. | should properly thank him."
Reese's mouth twitched at the thought of James's relationship with Lukas. She wore a bewildered expression and
chuckled, "You better not!"
She had a hunch that if Lukas went to thank James, James might just chase him away with a stick. Moreover,
James didn't know about her relationship with Lukas.
