Fall in Love with the Dominant Billionaire
Chapter 114 Don’t Mess with Miss Brooks–1
Holly was nearly driven Insane by Reese. Sure, Reese had become a unner, but deep down, she was still the same, and Holly now had the support of a husband.
With a surge of pride, Holly puffed out her chest, ready to provoke Reese further. “Better than me? You must fantasy, Reese, Exactly how do you figure you’re superior? Is it the designer clothes or the fancy car?”
Society these days wasn’t just about looks; it was also about wealth.

That was when Sofia quickly stepped in to mediate. “Alright, let’s cal down. We’re all old classmates here, and it’s great that Reese could join us today. Let’s enjoy the moment.”
Sofia tried to pull Reese in, but as she reached out, Reese stepped back, and she remembered that since college, Reese had never liked being touched–a habit that

held.
Sofia didn’t insist or blame Reese, as she had always held a special place in her heart. Everything she dared not say or do in college, Reese had done. Fear was a word absent from her vocabulary, and Sofia remembered Reese once saying that the greatest enemy in this world was not others, but oneself.
Only by overcoming fear could one truly become strong.
Offering a strained smile, Sofia’s warmth towards Reese remained unchanged. “Come on, Reese, take a seat.”
Reese sat next to Sofia, and both Holly and Wesley silenced themselves, settling into their chairs, plotting their next move to tackle Reese when the time was right.
Reese, who usually had a lukewarm relationship with most, was asked nonchalantly. “Hey Reese, I heard you got hitched. How come your hubby didn’t tag along today?”
“He’s a busy
guy,” Reese replied.
Holly twisted her mouth and scoffed, “Busy? It’s not like he’s some rien CEO or something. Can’t be take time out for a meal?”
Reese was not one to mince words with someone as combative as Holly.
With a subtle tilt of her head, Reese cast a sidelong glance at Hollyho felt the piercing sharpness in her gaze. Reese’s imposing presence seemed to suffocate Holly, making her struggle for breath.
A chill ran down Holly’s spine, and she quickly looked away in disarray.
Sitting right beside Holly was a woman with short hair whose features screamed belligerence. Back in college, she was thick as thieves with Holly, always scheming against Reese. But Reese never fell for their tricks; instead, she often turned the tables on
them.
“Oh, Kiki, don’t be so mean to Reese, someone teased. “Reese probably just chose a dud for a husband; she’s probably too ashamed to bring him out. Not like your guy who’s rolling in dough. I heard Kiki’s hubby just got her a new Porsche the other day.”
Admiring glances from her classmates followed, with remarks of envy.
Really? You’re so lucky.”
“Yeah, Holly’s got it made with her wealthy husband. Look at what she wears and drives, compared to us working stiffs.”
Holly reveled in their praise, arching her brows proudly and tossing her hair with seductive flair.

“Of course, my man treats might. Otherwise, what’s the point in sucking with him?:
Cautiously, Sofia chimed in, “So Holly, why didn’t you bring your hand today?”
Reese knew Sofla was just innocently curious; she was not the type o play mind games. But as soon as the words left her lips, Holly glared at Sofia.
“What’s it to you, Sofia? I bet you haven’t even managed to land a billyfriend,”
Holly crossed her arms, adding, “But that’s hardly surprising since you’re not exactly a looker. I doubt any guy would be into you.”
Reese tended to stay out of drama, but when the target was someon she particularly loathed, that was a different story.
She lowered her head and opened a covert website on her phone–a site not listed on any market and unlikely ever to be. It was her go–to resource for digging up dirt.
Typing in Holly’s name, information popped up instantly: what she’d done since college and all the details about her current beau- age, background, everything was at Reese’s fingertips.
Sofia’s cheeks blushed a fiery red as the comments hit her like a flurry of arrows. Her timidity was well known, and the sting of

Holly glanced over Beese and noticed, with a mix smartphone. With a chuckle, Holly said, “Sofia, I can’t decide if you isn’t even paying attention? Here you are, sticking up for her, and to

what thes doing”
The girl seated next to Holly snickered as she followed Holly’s gaze seriously, Sofia, you’re too kind–hearted for your o you think the appreciates any of it?”
Sofia caught sight of Reese absorbed with her phone, oblivious to the rest. She recalled her college days and the hardships the would have faced if it hadn’t been for Reeses helping hand. That gratitude cemented her resolve: no one had the right reciprocity for kindness. If you were seeking a payoff without assurance that it would be returned, better to think twice before you
Her fists clenched tightly, her voice edged with defiance as she confronted the mockers, “I never helped Reese expecting anything in return. You shouldn’t speak ill of her, whether she helps me or not, especially in her presence–its just wrong”
Holly thought her taunts would deter Sofia from defending Reese and leave her friend isolated. In Holly’s mind, It hardly mattered Sofia could easily be brought to tears with just a few harsh words.
“Reese wouldn’t be here if she couldn’t handle a bit of gossip. She’s welcome to talk about us too–if she can find anything worthy to say. It’s not like she’s always been such a catch either, what with her temper and all.”
e, who had been casually scrolling through her phone, leaned back and looked around at everyone with an air of nonchalant ease. “Oh sure, like I’m such an unappealing catch. But someone certainly caught your eye, Holly–your beloved husband, Victor, right? Isn’t he old enough to be your dad? And let’s not forget how you clawed your way up to be the other woman, breaking up a happy home. But I’ve heard Victor’s been living it up again lately; might even bring home a new sister for you soon.”
Once Reese’s words took root, a ripple of shock spread across the table as eyes widened and jaws dropped. Whispers broke out, “No way, is Holly really a home wrecker?”
“And did you hear? Reese said the guy’s like in his fifties. She’s truly bold, getting involved with someone who could be her father.”
Holly might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but she certainly had the look that some older men find irresistible–a voluptuous figure, unzing with chatmi.
“What’s the big deal? It’s all about the money. If you were offered a sugar daddy who let you drive luxury cars and live like royalty, would you say no?”
“Even if I wanted to, I couldn’t just go and wreck someone else’s home. That’s ethically wrong.
Slamming her hand on the table, Holly stood up, her face flushed with anger.
“That’s preposterous! You’re just making things up. I don’t know any Victor.”
Reese arched an eyebrow nonchalantly and twirled her phone in hand
“Tine, if you claim there’s nothing to it, why don’t you tell us about your husband? What’s his name? Where does he work? How old is he? Show us a picture.”
Rendered speechless by Reese’s persistent probing, Holly’s mind went blank. She had finally started to live a life that made her the envy of her peers.

the truth or the tables would turn–she would be the one mocked, not Reese.
Taking a deep breath, Holly tried to compose herself.

Cut it out, Reese. You’ve always been jealous of me since our school days–jealous of my looks. And now? It’s obvious to anyone with eyes that you’ve had some work done. Cosmetic surgery isn’t that big of a deal. Just admit it already.”
Reese snorted coldly; her expression utterly indifferent and calm.
“If you’re going to stubbornly deny everything and slander me, dont blame me for not being nice.”
