A Perfect Lie Hides Behind My Billionaire Marriage novel Chapter 179

As the person drew closer, his handsome features becoming clearer. Reese's feet felt as if they were bound by magic, frozen in place.

Despite two years of separation, Reese recognized Luther at first glance.

She was truly too familiar with Luther.

As Luther approached, Reese seemed to suddenly react. She swiftly turned around, facing the wall, her body stiffening to the extreme.

Two years ago, when they parted, she never thought she would see Luther again in her lifetime.

In her peripheral vision, she saw Luther brush past her. Reese immediately spun around and walked briskly toward the lounge, as if something were chasing her from behind.

Luther took a few steps, seemingly sensing something. He suddenly stopped in his tracks and couldn't help but turn around.

Seeing the slightly panicked footsteps, he frowned.

This girl's figure was remarkably similar to Reese's, except Reese seemed a bit shorter.

After a few seconds, he turned around and went to find Vivian.

Reese entered the lounge in a flustered state. Cole looked puzzled. "Reese, what's wrong?"

Reese was startled, quickly shaking her head. "It's nothing. I just walked a bit fast because I'm worried about missing the boarding time."

Cole nodded. "It's true that time is getting close. Let's head to the boarding gate."

It wasn't until they were on the plane that Reese finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The incident from that year had left her in a terrible state. She didn't want to face such a situation ever again in her life.

On the plane, Reese slept the entire way.

After landing, they headed directly to the hotel arranged by the company.

The climate in Menkerios was like spring all year round, with an abundance of flowers, plants, and greenery. It was a pleasant place to live in.

As soon as Reese got off the plane, she fell in love with this warm city.

However, they were here for the competition, so Reese didn't wander around and stayed in the hotel to rest.

The next day, Cole took them to see the competition venue.

Cole knew that Reese disliked discussing this topic, so his tone turned somewhat flat. "Hmm, perhaps. I'm not sure."

Seeing that neither Cole nor Reese were enthusiastic, Chloe blinked and awkwardly fell silent.

The three of them entered the private room prepared by the hotel.

The room had three large round tables, each seating eleven people, which was just about right.

There were five judges, twenty-three designers participating in the competition, and various officials from different places. Altogether, it was a suitable number.

The jewelry designers participating in the competition had arrived early and were waiting in the private room for the judges to arrive.

Reese wasn't too fond of these kinds of gatherings, and she seemed a bit absent-minded.

It wasn't until someone pushed the door open and announced, "Everyone, please rise. The judges have arrived," that Reese stood up along with the others, looking toward the entrance.

As the door swung open, the five judges walked in one after another.

But when Reese's gaze fell on the young judge who entered last, she froze on the spot.
