of sore eyes. The more he observed, the more
Vincent found Reese fascinating on many levels, not to mention that she was a sight for enticing she became, especially those clear, expressive eyes that seemed to speak volumes.
He gave her a suggestive wink. “Everything you want is yours for the taking, heart and soul.”
His words were overt, unmistakably expressing his interest in Reese A simple nod from her could seal the deal.
Reese was far from charmless, but most of the time, she chose not to showcase it. If mere looks and flirting were enough for lasting affection, she knew it was nonsense. Yet, appearances did matter; after all, people tend to judge by appearances first. However, for her, looks were just an asset; true success relied on her own abilities.
Reese enjoyed toying with others, particularly those self–absorbed types like Vincent. They seemed affable on the surface, yet were full of schemes inside, even betraying their own kin. It was people like him that she didn’t bother to take seriously.
She teasingly traced her finger along Vincent’s jawline: “Sorry to disappoint, but I prefer the cool demeanor of someone like your brother, Malcolm. You’re not really my type, and together, we’d be bad to the bone.”
As soon as the words left her lips, Reese’s smile vanished, and she stepped back, distancing herself from Vincent without hiding the disdain in her eyes.
Vincent’s face darkened with a glimmer of malice as he realized her ploy. “You’re playing me!”
*So what if I am? And I expect an apology for your earlier words and actions. Even eyeing Malcolm’s wife–that’s just low,” Reese said unabashedly, standing tall and unabashed.
Vincent, a man who would stoop to any depth for gain, had no right to talk about rules or decency.
Vincent had never been played by a woman like this before; it was as if his true nature was shining through in that moment.
“Do you believe I’ll spill all your secrets to Malcolm? He hates being led to the most. When he learns the truth, you can kiss your place in the Flynn family goodbye.”
Reese laughed at his words as if they were a joke, her delicate features showing no sign of fear.
To her, Vincent was no threat at all.
She even taunted him, “Go ahead, tell Malcolm there’s more to me than just some country girl. But what evidence do you have? You can’t even verify who I really am, how are you going to expose me?
“You…” For the first time, Vincent had encountered someone this difficult, who didn’t flinch or cower in his presence
He was baffled. Who was Reese? What kind of hidden identity did she possess to speak to him with such confidence?
A smug smile graced Reese’s lips.
Vincent realized his plot had fallen apart, and he couldn’t waste any more time with Reese. He turned to leave.
But before his foot could touch the first step, Reese’s chilly voice stopped him.
“I told
you, you owe me an apology.”
Vincent scoffed dismissively, “Why should I apologize? I haven’t even laid a finger on you.”

“Alright, let’s talk about Malcolm’s leg,” she said sharply. “You tampered with his medication, causing a blockage in his blood flow.
nearly leaving him analyzed. We should settle that score, don’t you think?”
Vincent hadn’t expected Reese to turn the tables on him when he wasn’t pursuing her any further. Was she courting death?
He glared at her with a menacing look,
“You should know, if I wanted you dead, it would be as easy as squashing an ant.”
Reese titled her head with a smirk, her smile cold.
“Really? Why not give it a try? It’s still uncertain who the prey is here.”
With that, she dialed a number, her eyes narrowing with sharp determination.
“In three minutes, I’m going to make Vincent’s shares in the Flynn mily plummet to thirty percent.
Vincent was stunned, staring at Reese, “Who are you?”
Reese hung up the phone, her demeanor as calm and collected as ever.
“Who I am doesn’t matter. What’s important is that you’ve crossed me, and you almost cost my husband his ability to stand. I haven’t had the time to deal with you before, but that doesn’t mean the harm you did can just be erased.”

Just like that, Reese had laid down her law: her people were hers to garment; others dared not lay a finger on them.

Vincent, despite acknowledging Reese’s impressive aura–he had mut countless individuals, but never had he seen a girl wield such a formidable presence–sneered with disdain: But having a commanding presence alone won’t suffice; you need genuine skill. Do you seriously think you can play God with the stock market? That you can make it stop just by snapping your fingers? You re seriously underestimating me,”

For years, he had bided his time, swallowing his pride, all for the day he could take the helm at Flynn family and command Flynn Group.
No way a nondescript girl could scare him.
“Oh, really? Then let’s just wait and see,” Reese’s dazzling smile twinkled.
For a moment, Vincent was caught off guard. Was this girl nipping the script on him? Her ability to change direction unparalleled.

Three minutes later, the phone rang. It was his assistant. Initially, Vincent didn’t think much of it.
“What’s up?”
Vincent, I don’t know what happened, but our stocks suddenly plummeted by thirty percent. If this continues, we could hit a circuit breaker, with untold losses.”
Vincent nearly thought he had heard wrong, his brow furrowed, his formerly relaxed face changing color.
“What did you say? How is that even possible!”
“It’s true. If you don’t believe me, check online. We’ve just received the news ourselves, and we don’t know who’s behind this.”

Reese toyed with her p phone, exuding an air of nonchalance.
“So, how about considering an apology to Malcolm? In light of your Brotherhood, I could overlook the past.”
Vincents grip on his phone tightened, his face was a mask on the verge of collapse.
He had lived a long life; since when did he have to succumb to a young girl’s threats and apologize to Malcolm? The idea was Judicrous.
He wanted to gamble on himself one more time.
“And if I refuse?”
Reese snapped her fingers nonchalantly: “No problem, I I won’t force you.”
This time she didn’t make a call, opting instead to send a contact.

“It’s getting worse, Vincent. We’re about to hit the circuit breaker. You need to act fast or else all our efforts this year will be for nothing.”
Vincent’s lips were drawn tight, veins throbbing on his forehead in fury, his teeth gritted as he raised his hand, tempted to smash the phone. At that moment, Reese casually reminded him.
“If you break the phone now, you’ll miss the news later
Vincent was on the verge of losing control, his hands clenched tight as if he might lash out at Reese.

A skirmish might as well land Vincent in the hospital for a good week or two.
Upstairs, Malcolm caught a glimpse of their exchange and called out, “What’s the chat about?”
Reese smiled, “Nothing serious. Little bro here seems to be considering a heart–to–heart with you. I suggested honesty is the best policy. After all, you’re family; forgiveness is a given, right?”
Vincent’s eyes widened in bewilderment at Reese.
“When did I say I was going to..
“Don 1 sweat it, man. To err is human, to forgive divine, right? And Malcolm,

Reese, wearing a persuasive expression and exuding an air of generosity, clapped Vincent heartily on the back.
Malcolm, leaning against the railing with a complex gleam in his eye gazed down at Vincent, “So, what do you want to confess to me, hmm?
