RedNovelReese looked up at him, pursed her lips tightly, and the pain in her eyes was
clearly visible, and her tears were about to flow: "But, it must be very painful; it's all my fault; | should have been
more careful then!"
Lukas sighed; this was the first tReese had shown such real emotions towards him, but it made him feel
distressed as well.
For the first time, he wished that she would rather not express her emotions so truthfully.
Because he didn't want to see her like this at all.
He looked at her and said tenderly, "Don't blyourself. If there is a lunatic on the street who stabs people
with a knife and | happen to save them, do you want to blthose whom | saved as well for not being careful?"
Reese turned her face away sadly, quickly rubbed her eyes, and said in a muffled voice, "But that's different!"
Lukas said helplessly, "Actually, they are all the same. No one would expect that Peter would go crazy!"

Reese did not speak. Lukas paused and continued: "Don't think about anything else for now; since the other
party was after you, Officer Garcia will definitely ask you about this matter later; you can tell him about that
plotting incident with Chloe Preston when the tcomes. | will also speed up the investigation on my side; it's
best to work together, so we could easily track the mastermind behind the scenes as quickly as possible;
otherwise, | am really worried about your safety!"
Reese pursed her lips and nodded.
After an hour of waiting, Reese and Lukas finally learned the truth.
Peter had lost his chance of killing Reese, so he could only disclose the whole truth.
It turned out that within this year only, Peter's father was diagnosed with cancer. For poor families, such a
disease could helplessly ruin a family's peaceful life.
Although Peter didn't study well and had dropped out of junior high school, he was the kind of son that looked
after their family, which earned him praise from his relatives and neighbors. In order to treat his father's illness,
he worked part-tfor several hours and slept less than three hours a day.
He was such a thin-looking young man who tried his best to carry his crumbling hon his shoulders.
At that time, the bad news came. After his father's first chemotherapy, not only did it fail to control the tumor,
but the tumor had spread rapidly and beceven more serious.
The large amount of treatment expenses completely crushed this young man.
At that moment, someone offered him a job in exchange for money. He was instructed to put an electric
mosquito coil in a specific room today, and if nothing went wrong, he would be given a million dollars.
The other party promised him that the surveillance system would be hacked when the tcfor him to put
the mosquito coil in a specific room. And advised him not to worry too much.
Of course, a million dollars is not so easy to acquire; it was exchanged for someone else's life.
The other party made it clear that as long as he could confirm that Reese was dead, the money would be
transferred to Peter's account.

However, Peter would've never thought that the person who died wasn't Reese but someone else instead.
Not only did he fail to kill Reese, he committed murder as well. More importantly, if he died, the pillar of their
family would be gone, and his father's illness would be more hopeless with him, as the breadwinner, dead.
When he heard that Reese's friend could restore the surveillance video, he immediately panicked.
When the tcomes, he will be found to have committed murder. He has no money to compensate for the
expenses and no lawyer to defend himself. He will definitely have to pay for his life.
It is not a pity if he died, but what about his parents.
During the process of the police investigation, he thought about it and finally chose to take the risk.
As long as he can kill Reese, even in front of everyone, and as long as she dies, the other party will definitely
give him the money. At that time, if he dies, his parents will still have money for the medical treatment.
That would be enough for him!
And that's when the scene happened-him panicking and attacking Reese.
