Reese’s gaze was too sharp, as if trying to see through Victoria.
No one in the Design Department besides her and Cole knew about the incident where her design was switched. The true mastermind behind it had not been found yet.
Victoria appeared confident that she wouldn’t win the award. This situation seemed to implicate her in the matter.
Reese stared at Victoria without expression.
Victoria’s face turned slightly red, feeling uneasy under Reese’s penetrating gaze. She said defensively, “How would I know if you can win the award or not? I just thought you didn’t have the ability to win awards consecutively, that’s all.”
Reese maintained her calm demeanor as she continued to watch Victoria silently.
Victoria was getting angry. She shook off Reese’s hand and said, “Reese, stop picking on me for no reason and making unfounded accusations. I just said a few words casually. Don’t spit out nonsense.”
Reese’s tone remained serene as she responded, “How did I spit out nonsense? Victoria, unless you have done something wrong, I haven’t said anything inappropriate. Why are you so angry?”
One appeared composed, while the other seemed enraged.
In comparison, Victoria was clearly on the other end.
Upon seeing Cole exit his office, Victoria’s demeanor shifted slightly. She quickly composed herself before addressing Reese, “It appears that you may be experiencing symptoms of a delusional disorder, which
could be a result of coercion.”
After saying this, Victoria hastily returned to her seat.
Reese’s eyes flickered. Victoria was clearly feeling guilty, and Reese had intended to probe further. However, the moment Cole appeared, Victoria quickly withdrew her hostility.
Tomorrow, the results of the Morning Light Jewelry Competition will be announced.
Victoria’s behavior was too abnormal.
Reese thought for a moment and decided to tell Lukas to change the direction of the investigation.
But as soon as she picked up her phone, Lukas called her.

Reese’s hand holding the phone trembled slightly.
At this moment, a phrase inexplicably flashed through her mind “Hearts that are in sync.”
This is too coincidental.
The phone kept ringing, and Raven had just returned after printing some jewelry materials. Seeing Reese standing there looking stunned, she couldn’t help but ask, “Reese, why aren’t you answering the call?”
Reese snapped back to her senses, quickly answered the phone, and walked outside.
However, as soon as she picked up the call, Lukas said directly, “Come to Cresta Del Bosque.”
Reese didn’t say anything, but Lukas hung up the phone.
The suspicion about Victoria weighed heavily on Reese’s heart. At that moment, thousands and thousands of thoughts rushed through her mind. Despite what had happened to her, truly didn’t want to
curse at anyone.
But Lukas’s behavior was simply too much.
He wasn’t afraid that the person who answers the call isn’t the real Reese.
Reese couldn’t help but complain in her heart, but in the end, she still asked for leave from Cole and headed to Cresta Del Bosque.
As for the matter with Victoria, she decided to discuss it face–to–face.
Cresta Del Bosque was a members–only venue and not accessible to ordinary people. The big boss of Cresta Del Bosque was said to be very mysterious. At least, no one in Switzerland dared to act recklessly inside the club.
Regardless of one’s power and influence or their high–ranking status, anyone who dared to cause trouble would be blacklisted, but the club would still remain untouched.
Reese didn’t have a membership card, but as soon as she arrived at the entrance of Cresta Del Bosque, someone was already waiting for her. They took her directly to a private room in the Sala de Ciruela
Sombra.
Cresta Del Bosque had four halls: Ciruela Sombra, Fragancia De Orquidea, BambuVerde, and Crisantemo Claro. Each hall had one to nine private rooms.
Each level corresponded to a different membership status. Regardless of the level, confidentiality was paramount, making it popular among the upper–class society of Switzerland.
Entering this place was a symbol of status.

As Reese entered the private room in the Sala de Ciruela Sombra, she immediately saw the people inside.
Lukas was sitting alone on one side, while Gwendolyn and James were sitting beside him.
Martins stood expressionless next to Lukas.
Reese’s eyes flickered, feeling curious. Why were Lukas and James, these two archenemies, here together?
Moreover, why did Lukas ask her to come here? Did he want to watch them fight or something?
Lukas looked up at Reese lazily and said, “What are you still standing there for? Come in.”
Reese remained silent and slowly walked inside, sitting alone on the far side.
Lukas glanced at her but didn’t say anything.
James looked at Lukas and asked coldly, without his usual playful demeanor, “Lukas, the arrived. What do you want to say?”
Lukas replied with a slight smile, “Martins.”

Martins immediately nodded and took out a stack of documents from his briefcase

Martins immediately nodded and took out a stack of documents from his briefcase. He walked over and placed them in front of James.
Lukas remained silent, while James furrowed his brows and started flipping through the documents.
Beside him, Gwendolyn’s face turned pale, and her hand on her lap gripped tightly, making her knuckles turn white.
James flipped through two pages. As his hands turn the pages at an increased speed, his expression turns increasingly ugly.
Finally, he stood up abruptly and threw the documents at Gwendolyn’s face. His expression had become extremely grim, “Gwendolyn, do you even have a brain? Tell me, what the hell is going on?”
Gwendolyn looked as if she was about to collapse, even though she was sitting on the sofa.
She lowered her head, her eyes turning red, and she did not say a word.
Seeing this, Reese already had some guesses in her heart.
Lukas’s voice remained emotionless, “James, I want one of her hands. Surely, you don’t have any problem with it, right?”
