Fall in Love with the Dominant Billionaire
Chapter 153 I Won’t Agree
Malcolm scoffed and spread his hands. “Because she had no reason to
Sawyer couldn’t help but laugh. Malcolm’s defense of Reese sounded more like favoritism.
Malcolm, Reese might be your wife, but let’s stick to the facts. My daughter is deathly afraid of water, and only the two of them were there. You’re not suggesting Shirley jumped in herself, are you?
“It wasn’t her own doing,” Malcolm stated with certainty.
“That’s my
point!” Sawyer exclaimed. “If she didn’t jump, then who add? It had to be your Reese.”
Reese, who had been silent, let out a scoff that cut distinctly through the crowd.
All
leves turned to her with puzzled looks.

Unfazed and composed, even under everyone’s scrutiny, Reese displayed a calmness that none there could probably match.
“If you say I pushed her, what reason would I have?”
Shirley suddenly began to sob on the ground,
“It’s because you’re jealous that Malcolm and I went.
it to the same university. I heard you’re from some small town with no background at all. Of course, you’d be insecure, scared that I’d take Malcolm away from you. That’s why you pushed me in retaliation. And to think, I even wanted to come over and offer you a drink–never would’ve guessed Malcolm’s Reese is such a conniving woman.”
As Shirley spoke, her face took on a look of near tears, her voice tinged with flirtation, and those nearby began to feel a twinge of sympathy.
“Right, how could Mr. Sawyer’s daughter stoop to such low tactics?” Malcolm’s voice suddenly sharpened, “My wife would never resort to such mean tricks. Are you suggesting she’s the type who would?”
The folks around us fell silent, some even recoiled, scurrying off to the side.
Reese watched Malcolm flare up in her defense, feeling a tug at her heartstrings. He didn’t need to pick a fight over her.

Sawyer never expected Malcolm to speak to him in such a tone, especially over Reese–with an audience no less. His pride took a
hit.
After all, he was Malcolm’s senior, a longtime family ally of the Flynns. And here was Maledim talking back to him.
“Malcolm, is this how the Flynn family raises you? To talk back to your elders over some girl?”
Malcolm s stance was unyielding as he pulled Reese into his embrace his voice tinged with pride, ‘She’s not just some girl; she’s my
Reese.”
Sawyer was taken aback, his face flushed with embarrassment.
He chose not to argue; Malcolm held the connaic lifeline of Atlanta There was no benefit for the Sue’s in falling out with the Flynns. But he couldn’t let his daughter be falsely accused.

“Tine. Malcolm, if you’re so set on defending your Reese, show the idence. Prove she didnt push Shirley, and I’ll let it go.”
Evidence? Easy. There’s a security camera right here. Let’s review the footage and see for ourselves, Malcolm proposed confidently.
Shirley’s heart skipped a beat. Why would there be a camera here? She only remembered cameras in the main hall.
Panic set in, her words jumbling. There’s a camera here?”
“You didn’t know about the camera? Malcolm asked deviously before feigning realization, “No matter. Since you claim it was Reese who pushed you, the camera will just confirm your innocence. If it shows Reese pushing you, III apologize on her behalf.”
The surrounding crowd buzzed with anticipation.
Flynn is actually going to apologize to Miss Shirley an Reese’s behalf?” someone exclaimed,
“Oh my god, am I hearing this right? Mr. Fl clearly taken aback.
“That’s astonishing, another added. “Mr. Flynn carries himself with the presence of royalty wherever he goes…”
Some nearby girls couldn’t hide their envy,
One sighed dreamily, “I suddenly wish I had a husband like Mr. Flynn–so masculine, so responsible.”
Another chimed in, half–joking, “If I had known what a great person Mr. Flynn was, I’d marry him in a heartbeat, regardless of any circumstances”
“Get real, he’s already married,” a voice tossed back, snapping them to reality.
Even Sawyer couldn’t suppress his surprise. He raised his voice and announced, “Alright then, it’s settled. We’ll review the security tapes. If it turns out Reese did push my daughter, Malcolm, you’ll just have to apologize to us.”
Malcolm’s eyes narrowed. “No problem,” he said coolly.

about to summon a waiter to pull up the security footage, Shirley hurriedly grabbed his arm.
“Dad…” she began.
Sawyer, in a misunderstanding, thought she was afraid of offending Malcolm. He gently patted her hand, “Don’t worry, sweetheart. Dad will make sure justice is served for you.”
“It’s not that, Dad, I… I’m actually fine. Maybe we should just let it go. Our families have such a good relationship, pulling the security tape might damage that, Shirley pleaded.
Sawyer was taken aback by her words, not expecting such a proposal from her.
“Shirley, you… you
becoming so thoughtful. Alright, let’s drop it then,” he said, feeling a mix of pride and surprise.
He stood up, ready to speak to Malcolm. “Malcolm, since Shirley don’t want to pursue this matter, we won’t need to check the tapes.
Malcolm, however, stood Grm, “No, no, no. Uncle Sawyer, we must review the tapes. It’s not just about clearing Reese’s name but also Miss Shirley’s reputation. If you let this slide, won’t everyone think Reese is guilty?”
Sawyer suddenly realized that Malcolm wasn’t just thinking a

pronounced. “If you insist on clearing things up, then let’s do it You’re not trid, so why would I be?”
Hearing this, Shirley’s expression soured even more, and, with furrowed brows, horned to stop her dad.
“Dad, we can’t pull up the security tape like this!”
Sawyer was puzzled, “Shirley, why can’t we check the footage? You heard what everyone’s swing
“I just… we i

can’t,” she replied, her voice trailing off as she hung her head, signaling something was amiss to anyone observing.
If Miss Shirley from Sue’s Family was indeed framed, she would allow the surveillance to be ceviewed. Why would she now refuse?
Reese sneered, “Miss Shirley, you and I both know I didn’t push you. You saw Malcolm coming and wanted to stage a scene, making it look like I pushed you into the water, hoping he’d rush to your defense. Too bad your littl scheme coldt play out the way you hoped.
After all, she never expected Malcolm to believe her unconditionally especially when he didn’t actuallyawod know anything.
Caught in her inner turmoil by Reese’s words, Shirley was rendered speechless, her eyes frantic with pansen opnall to see, including Sawyer.
He tugged at Shirley, his tone tainted with reproof. “Shirley, come clean. Are you really saying, like Reese pointed our; that you fell on your own?”
