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

Reese tensed. She remembered what Lukas had said to her earlier: Being merciful to enemies is being cruel to oneself. At this moment, she found herself completely agreeing with his words.

Someone like Gwendolyn didn't deserve any compassion or sympathy. Harold entered with a dagger in hand and handed it over to Gwendolyn. Lukas's voice suddenly rang out as she turned toward Reese: "Gwendolyn, have you had enough fun?"

Gwendolyn had just taken a step forward with the dagger when she involuntarily loosened her grip, dropping it to the ground. She turned in disbelief, her expression shocked, looking towards the shadowy figure in the corner. Her voice trembled. "Lukas?"

Gwendolyn couldn't believe it. The person she had arranged to capture along with Reese was Cole himself. "No, it can't be. They were supposed to capture Cole."

She snatched a flashlight from Harold's hand and shone it in the direction of Lukas. There, she saw his cold and indifferent face, his gaze fixed upon her. Gwendolyn was instantly flustered. She turned around and slapped Harold across the face, her voice panicking, "You idiot! I told you to capture Reese. Who told you to capture him?"

Harold held his face, a mix of anger and embarrassment on his face. He defended himself: "I told you earlier that I captured a young man, and you said to keep them together."

Gwendolyn froze, realizing that Harold's phone call had mentioned capturing a man with Reese. But she had assumed it was Cole. She never thought it could be Lukas.

She glanced at the marks on Lukas's body-clear evidence that he had been beaten. Fuming, she glared at Harold and said, "You hit him."
