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

Reese's body stiffened, and she gritted her teeth and sat down.

Gwendolyn suddenly looked at Reese and crawled towards her, grabbing her pants, her voice desperate and on

the verge of collapse, "Reese, I'm sorry. It was me, | was so wrong. | instructed Natalia to switch your design

drafts. | knew her father was sick and needed money urgently. | bribed someone around my cousin and used his

account to transfer money to Natalia."

"I naively thought that even if you found out it was my cousin, you wouldn't do anything to him. The company's

surveillance video was also hacked by me. Everything was my fault. | shouldn't have been jealous of you,

shouldn't have targeted you. | truly know that | was wrong. Please ask Lukas to spare me, please."

Reese's expression was grim, and she sat there stiffly without speaking.

Gwendolyn desperately held onto her pant leg, her voice filled with despair, "Reese, you're a designer, and you

know how important hands are to a designer, right? Can a designer still create things with just only one hand? |

don't want to lose my hand, Reese, please! | beg you, please forgive me, for the sake of being fellow designers."

Both James and Lukas remained silent, and everyone in the private room seemed to be waiting for Reese's

reaction.

Reese felt her heart sink heavily as she looked at Lukas. "Can | talk to her alone?"

Lukas's attitude was cold, "As you wish."

Reese sighed softly and looked at Gwendolyn before speaking, "Did you join Strakovski Jewelry just to target

me?"

Gwendolyn looked embarrassed and wiped away her tears, "Yes."

Reese's eyes flickered as she continued, "Is this incident related to Victoria?"

Gwendolyn was taken aback and shook her head, "No."

To be precise, Victoria was aware of everything, and she even had the suspicion of incitement. She even

provided information about the Morning Light Jewelry Competition. But in the end, everything was done by

Gwendolyn herself, and it would be easy to prove.

Reese was somewhat surprised; it was not what she expected.

"Then, did you switch my design drafts because | slapped you when we were at Butterfly Pavilion?" Reese really

couldn't understand. It was just a minor argument, and James even cto her specifically to stand up for

Gwendolyn.

She thought that the matter would end there.

Even if Gwendolyn was upset and sought revenge, Reese wouldn't have been too angry even if she sent

someone to beat her up.

But Gwendolyn secretly switched her design drafts; that was something Reese couldn't accept.

If it weren't for Lukas discovering it in advance, she would have won the championship at the Century Jewelry

Competition but ended up with no achievements at the Morning Light Jewelry Competition. Everyone would have

suspected that her previous awards were undeserved.

Gwendolyn looked up at Reese, her eyes red, "Do you really not know why | targeted you?"

Reese looked puzzled, "Should | know?"

Gwendolyn's voice choked, and she looked at Lukas, her voice aggrieved and sorrowful, "I like Lukas. Can't you

see that? When you slappedthat day, even if | went to my cousin to vent, | didn't have the intention of

confronting you. My cousin lost to you in billiards and admired you."

"But why does Lukas stand by your side? Why? I've liked him for so many years, but he doesn't even sparea

glance. You've only known him for such a short time, so why does he stand by your side? Tell me, why? Why does

he have the right to do this? I like him so much, but now, just for you, he wants to cut off my hand. Reese, are

you pleased to seeend up like this? Are you ecstatic?"

Gwendolyn's voice becsomewhat hysterical, she let go of Reese's pants, sat on the ground without any

composure, and lost all semblance of dignity.

Reese's expression was extremely complicated; she never thought that the ultimate reason would be Lukas.

Reese's voice sounded somewhat helpless, "Gwendolyn, if you like Lukas, it has nothing to do with me. You

shouldn't bring your personal emotions into work. Doing so not only ruinsbut also affects Strakovski Jewelry.

If you really like Lukas, you shouldn't do this. Moreover, Lukas is not siding with me; he only stands for fairness

and justice."

Gwendolyn suddenly burst into laughter, as if she had gone mad, her voice filled with sarcasm, "Fairness and

justice, haha, Reese, you are so naive. Do you actually say that Lukas stands for fairness and justice? You are

simply ridiculous."

Who in Switzerland doesn't know that Lukas is biased and partial? How could Gwendolyn not know?

Lukas clearly treats Reese as his own, but Reese is still feeding her this nonsense.

Gwendolyn looked at Reese and spoke directly, "Reese, you makesick."

James's face looked grim, "Gwendolyn, that's enough."

Gwendolyn seemed to have nothing to lose and said fiercely, "What, James? Are

you going to stand up for fairness and justice too?"

James's face turned ashen, "Are you really trying to court death?"

Gwendolyn laughed bitterly, "I surrender. If | admit my mistake, will Lukas stand up for Reese? If | confess, will he

spare me?"

James fell silent.

Reese felt extremely tired; she glanced at Lukas and said, "Lukas, hand her over to the police. | hope she faces

legal consequences, not your personal judgment.”

Lukas raised his eyes, his voice icy, "Are you sure?"

Reese's face tensed, and she pressed her lips together, "I'm sure."

Lukas's gaze was heavy, "Reese, haven't you said that you won't play the saint when dealing with the real

mastermind? If you want the law to punish her, then | have to tell you that with the King Family's capabilities,

she might be in today and out tomorrow. In such cases, throwing smoney at it can make it go away."

Reese spoke earnestly, "It's not about playing the saint; it's what a normal person does when facing such a

situation - seek legal protection. Besides, | don't want you to do something so cruel just because of me."

Lukas sneered at Reese, "If this is considered cruel to you, then you really have a long way to learn."
