C53 My Wife, Don't Blame Me

Under the light.

Lydia was enveloped by Reece's shadow.

At that moment, she was not afraid. She was just shocked by the man who was blocking her way. Her mind was blank.

Reece had helped her block the bottle of mineral water?

He... He was helping her!

Clang!

The bottle of mineral water hit the man's back and made a dull sound.

The sound was very painful, but the man's cold face did not show the slightest change. He just looked at the woman in his arms indifferently. There was a trace of an imperceptible flash in his eyes.

"Are you okay?"

Suddenly, the man opened his mouth.

Only then did Lydia come back to her senses. She forced herself to retract her gaze from Reece's face. "It's fine..."

After confirming that she was fine, the man let go of her.

He turned around and swept his dark eyes coldly across the audience.

Suddenly, a strong sense of compulsion hit them. The people who had been arguing about getting Lydia to get out of the way suddenly fell silent. None of them dared to step forward recklessly. They were afraid that the man on the stage would crush their bones into pieces. In the end, they would not even be left with a complete corpse.

"What evidence do you have to prove that my wife is a collateral relative? Hmm?"

Suddenly, the man picked up the microphone and spoke.

His voice clearly did not contain any anger, but it was filled with an aura that made one's scalp tingle.

Everyone could not help but take a deep breath. They did not even dare to breathe loudly.

Who in Goulcrest didn't know about Reece's iron fist?

Anyone who offended him would be like a bloodthirsty Asura in hell. There was only one outcome for those who offended him — death!

"That student who threw the water bottle just now, stop looking. You're the one who said that! What right do you have to say that my wife's results were obtained through connections?!" The man stared at Cass and repeated himself.

Lydia was stunned.

She suddenly turned her head to look at the tall man beside her. Her eyes widened, and her face was filled with astonishment.

In the past, this man hated it when she revealed Mrs. Tillman's identity in public.

He wanted nothing more than to cut off all relations with her!

What was going on today?

He actually called her wife one by one!

Just as she was doubting her life, the man suddenly reached out his hand towards her.

Before she could react, she was pulled into his embrace by Reece.

Lydia was stunned.

When the two of them collided, Lydia's body suddenly tensed up.

The heart in her chest also skipped a beat.

"You... You, you admitted to yourself that she's your wife. Do you need me to say anything more?" Cass was stunned by the man's cold gaze. Although his tone was a little forceful, he clearly lacked confidence.

"Can't I participate in the design competition as my wife?" Reece asked with a cold smile.

"However, the entire University of Goulcrest knows that Ava's foundation is very poor. She has taken several professional courses, and there are even records of her grades in the school! How could a student who only came to the university two months before the competition get this award?"

"Furthermore, the University of Goulcrest has recognized Viola as the most qualified person among the contestants to obtain the first place. Now, not only did she not obtain the first place, but she did not even obtain the top fifteen! May I ask, what is the reason? Is there a need for you to give an explanation?"

The more Cass spoke, the more righteous he sounded. He even reached out and pulled Viola up.

"Cass, I didn't get the ranking because my design skills were not good enough. Don't make trouble with my brother-in-law. Let's go back." Viola stood up and cleared her name from the mess.

However, Cass still thought that Viola was kind and did not want to have conflict with Lydia.

The more Cass saw, the more he looked down on Lydia's character.

They were clearly sisters, but why was one so kind while the other wanted to get it for free?

Heh!

He sneered at Lydia and looked at Reece. "Mr. Tillman, please answer the two questions I asked you."

Suddenly, everyone in the audience turned their eyes to the two people on the stage.

Not only the audience, but even the cameras were aimed at them.

Seeing the questioning gazes, Lydia understood that if she did not give an explanation today, the crowd would not believe her.

Phew!

Taking a deep breath, she lifted her leg and stepped forward.

However, the next second, the hand on her waist tightened.

"Reece?" She raised her head in surprise and looked at the man.

The man looked down at her and indifferently said, "You only need to stand by my side and don't get hit by anyone else. Leave the rest to me!"

Lydia was shocked. "!!!"

At that moment, her eyes were filled with the domineering look of the man.

If she didn't have her past experience, perhaps she would have been moved by the man's actions.

But now, she was only surprised for a second before she became indifferent.

He probably just wanted to put on a show in front of the public. After all, if she was attacked, the Tillman family would be implicated as well. At that time, the Tillman family's stocks would plummet...

Since that was the case, she would just stay by the man's side obediently.

It would save her time and effort, and she wouldn't have to do anything to settle everyone's doubts.

"Is my wife's foundation bad?" Reece suddenly sneered, "If I remember correctly, when Lydia took the art exam, she scored the top three in the province and entered the University of Goulcrest! Student, let me ask you, is this your foundation?"

"But, but she hasn't been in school for nearly a year. You can't deny it, right? And she even gave a blank answer in the professional examination!" Cass's unwillingness to admit defeat was once again questioned.

"I don't deny what you said, but I don't think that you have to go to school to study. You can do it at home!"

Since the man had said that, Cass naturally didn't agree with him. "Of course, I can do it at home. Do you think she's a genius? Reece, you're just trying to take advantage of me!"

"She's not a genius, but she has a very outstanding professional teacher."

"Who?"

"I'm Reece, the one who won the jewelry design awards in the International Competition many times!"

Everyone in Goulcrest knew how good Reece was at designing.

If he was a teacher, it would be no different from going to school to study.

The only difference was that he would be able to teach better and be more comfortable.

Suddenly, the questioning gazes slowly turned into acknowledgment.

"So that's how it is. No wonder she has the confidence to not go to school!"

"Yeah, yeah, Reece is teaching in person. This is something that many people can't even dream of."

Suddenly, the atmosphere changed. The public opinion on Cass's side became less obvious.

Causing him to be nervous, Cass pursed his lips and started to feel nervous.

However, when he glanced at Viola, who was covered in tears, he had the idea of fighting to the end. "Then how do you explain Viola's matter? How could she be worse than Lydia? She can't even get a ranking?"

Reece snorted and looked at Viola. "I'm afraid you have to ask your goddess for the reason."

"..." Viola was stunned and confused. "Reece, what do you mean?"

Seeing Viola denying it, Reece was not surprised.

Ignoring Viola, his gaze fell on the little person beside him, "Wife?"

"…" She was obviously not used to the way she was addressed, so she was stunned for a second before she responded.

"I'm sorry," the man slowly said, and she was stunned once again. "What?"

At this moment, the man's thin lips suddenly landed on her forehead.

He was so gentle at this moment. "Don't blame me."

Lydia froze.

At this moment, she was standing under the spotlight, looking at the man in shock. Her heart was screaming, "Reece, what are you trying to do?"

The man did not seem to notice the question in her eyes. He turned his head to Viola and said coldly, "Because plagiarizing a work is impossible to obtain a design award!"

Plagiarizing a work?

These words were like a deep-water bomb that exploded in the entire venue.

At this moment, Viola, who was in the crowd, suddenly turned pale.
