A Perfect Lie Hides Behind My Billionaire Marriage (reese and hudson)

Cole: Mr. Strakovski, is this the Song Dynasty blue and white porcelain that you auctioned off in a foreign country two years ago?
Lukas: Yes.
Cole: ...
Elias: Impressive, a bouquet worth a few dozen dollars paired with a priceless vase, what kind of magic is that?
Lukas: Shut up, no one gives you a piece of their mind!
Elias: You can't even tell the truth these days. Let me tell you, with that bunch of flowers, you'd be better off with a ten-dollar
vase!
Lukas: Do you want to die?
Elias: I'm leaving. Don't get angry!
Reese felt a complex mixture of emotions as she read these comments.
Did he just put the flowers in an antique blue and white porcelain vase?
She stared at the photo on her phone for a moment, feeling something she couldn't quite put into words.
At that moment, Lukas called out to her from outside, "Reese, it's time for dinner! Reese was taken aback, but she composed

herself and went to the door.
When she opened the door and saw Lukas's handsome face, she felt something strange. Lukas was smiling and seemed a little
so happy.
...
You see when someone who rarely smiles suddenly looks overly happy, it can be quite scary.
Reese frowned, "Did something good happen to you?"
Lukas grinned with deep joy in his eyes, "Today is Valentine's Day, and I'm very happy!"
Reese's mouth twitched. Was there a connection between these two things?

As they walked downstairs, Reese remembered the social media post. She casually asked, "I saw your social media post. Did
you really arrange the flowers in an antique blue and white porcelain vase?"
Lukas nodded, "Yes. Is there a problem with that?"
Reese's expression became complicated, and it seemed to be true.
After some thought, she asked, "How much did this vase cost?"
Lukas hesitated for a moment and gave an honest answer, "At that time, the final auction price seemed to have reached the
hundreds million dollar line ..."

Reese couldn't believe her ears that she almost stumbled on the stairs as she walked down the floor. Lukas quickly helped her,
"Are you okay?"
Reese looked at him with a pained expression and said, "I'm fine, but... shouldn't a vase like this be preserved? Or just place it
as it is? What if it gets damaged or scratched? It will be such a huge waste, considering how much it's worth!"
Lukas didn't think much of it, "A vase is meant to be used for flowers, right?"
Reese felt complex emotions, "Antique vases like this should be preserved or displayed as they are. Using them as flower vases
is too risky. What if they get damaged? It's heartbreaking!"
Lukas glanced at her, "Does it break your heart? If so, how about I just give the vase to you?"
Reese quickly shook her head, "No, thank you. I already have a vase. I mean, I gave you this bouquet, and you can just use a
regular vase for it!"
Lukas furrowed his brow, "Isn't that just an ordinary vase?"
He still believed that using a vase that wasn't special would diminish the ethereal quality of the bouquet.
Reese couldn't believe what she's hearing now. Did he just call an antique vase from China's Song Dynasty that is worth over a
hundred million dollars an ordinary vase?
Ah, rich people and their antics, Reese thought. She really doesn't want to talk to rich people, especially about similar matters
like this.

Rich people are so evil! They think they're superior just because they have money!
She muttered a few complaints in her mind and hurried downstairs. But as soon as she reached the first floor, all the lights
suddenly went out, leaving only a dim candlelight in the dining room.
