Fall in Love with the Dominant Billionaire
Chapter 182 Is This Your Idea of a Joke?
Nancy huffed in exasperation. “How could anyone possibly decipher your thoughts? You’re so paranoid about giving away your location that you’re obsessing over minor details,”
Malcolm, standing beside Reese, was a formidable presence that almist entirely concealed her from view. As his hand slipped into Reese’s, his fierce gaze softened, transforming into a look of tenderness.
“Darling, allow me to handle this. You need to rest,” he murmured in a soothing tone.
Alyssa’s jaw dropped in sheer disbelief. Was he suggesting a break amidst all this chaos?
Just as Malcolm was about to summon
non Justin, Alyssa sprang forward with an eagerness that was hard to ignore.
“I can manage this. Come and sit with me, Reese,” she said, gently pulling Reese away from the center of attention.
Everly watched as Malcolm took charge, realizing that he was stepping in to protect Reese. She stepped forward, her brow furrowed in confusion as she clutched Malcolm’s arm
“Malcolm, Reese has deceived you. How can you still defend her?”
“Reese has not betrayed me, he countered with unwavering certainty
“But the evidence is right there in the photos. Don’t let her sweet words fool you.”
Malcolm barely acknowledged her, choosing instead to address Nang directly.
“You insist that the woman in these photos is my wife. But she told you about the mole behind her ear that’s missing in these pictures. Moreover, my wife is slimmer than the woman depicted here.”
or was Malcolm merely bluffing?
Alyssa stood there, dumbfounded. Could such minute details be discerned, or was
“And most crucially, my wife left the room an hour ago. It’s likely that it was Nancy who knocked on the door then, correct?”
Nancy hastily denied Malcolm’s claim, “Absolutely not, I didn’t go there.
Malcolm’s eyes narrowed skeptically, “Is that so? Well, we can always review the security footage to confirm.”
The color drained from Nancy and Dahlia’s faces almost instantly.
What! The Flynn family had security cameras installed in their hallways?
Reese was taken aback as well. She had been prepared to confront Nancy, threatening her that if she didn’t tell the truth, Dahlia would be forever silenced. She hadn’t expected Malcolm to be so direct and decisi
His move was sharp and left no room for Nancy and her group t
to prevaricate.
Unless Nancy and Dahlia could maintain their composure under such immense pressure, they would inevitably buckle under Malcolm’s assertiveness.
Alyssa quickly grasped the situation and eagerly added, “Yes, we do have security cameras. Sandra, fetch Malcolm’s laptop from his room. Well soon find out if she’s lying.”
Dahlia was in a state of panic, her face ghostly y pale and her eyes wide with terror. She e stamnered, trying to explain.

“My mother never went to your room. She was in the backyard the untire time.”
To her own astonishment, Dahlia found herself covering her mouth when had she ever spoken so freely?
Malcolm’s face was a stormy mask. his piercing gaze colder than ever
“If that’s the case, the surveillance footage will clear up any misunderstandings.”
He glanced sideways, “Alyssa, proceed.”
“Right away.” Alyssa sprung
ang into action, ready to race upstairs.
Just then, Nancy blurted out in a voice filled with desper
desperation.
“Fine, I admit it. I did go there after all. There’s no need to check the cameras?
Reese’s eves sparkled with a cunning glint of amusement.
Seizing the moment, Malcolm pressed on. “You previously claimed you hadn’t been there. If you did go, then you can confirm that my wife was never with Silva.”
Nancy was caught off guard, “L… I only went to call her. Who said she wasn’t with Silva?”
In that instant, Malcolm’s eye twitched imperiously, and as he strode towards Nancy, she recoiled, visibly shaken…
“What… what are you doing?”
“Relax, with all the witnesses here in the Flynn household, nothing will happen to you–as long as you’re honest.”
Despite
Malcolm’s words of reassurance, his commanding aura had already succeeded in intimidating Nancy.
She stammered, “L.. I mean…”
*Here’s the de
deal if you confess that your plot was an attempt to defame my wife, the Flynn family will let it go. Otherwise…
Nancy didn’t need Malcolm to complete his sentence; she understood the implications. With the power the Flynns held, if they decided to retaliate against the Brooks family, it would be as effortless as flicking a finger.
Nancy was well aware of the formidable influence of the Flynns. However, she had never imagined they would hold Reese in such high regard, especially Malcolm, who treated the country girl as if she were a precious jewel in his hands.
Typically, a man entangled in such a scandal would be furious, likely to strike Reese, promptly divorce her, and leave her with nothing, as was the norm in high society. However, with Reese, everything seemed to have changed.
Nancy tugged at Dahlia’s hand, whispering, “Maybe we should just admit it. If the Flynns decide to retaliate against our family, you know how your father will react–he would lose his mind!”
Dahlias expression turned sour. “Mother, have you gone mad? If we confess no
now, we ll become the laughingstock of everyone.”
What choice do we have? Our company’s interests are more important than our pride. If the Flynns ruin our business, I want to see y explain it to your lather, given his volatile temperantent,”
Nancy had no desire to cross paths with Kenneth. After all these years, she knew the kind of gun he was a man who would readily abandon even family for his own gain. Who would dare to provoke sich a person?

Indeed, Dahlia was afraid of Kenneth.

Nancy continued, “If you don’t confess now and they review the security footage, the situation will be far worse. We’ll end up even more humiliated.”
Dahlia’s anxiety escalated, especially given her deep–rooted fear of the Flynn’s power. Nancy’s words only served to heighten her
panic.
“Alright… okay, Dahlia finally conceded.
Nancy’s face broke into a relieved smile. Malcolm’s penetrating gaze and commanding presence were almost unbearable.
As soon as Dahlia agreed, Nancy turned to Malcolm and blurted out, Fine, I’ll tell the truth! It was just a joke, nothing serious. As Reese’s family, naturally, we want the best for her. Now it’s abundantly clear, Malcolm, you’re a great man, truly worthy of trust.”
Meanwhile, Reese couldn’t help but snicker, a smirk of sarcasm playing on her lips.
Nancy certainly had a wild imagination. The scenarios she would fabricate–claiming it was for one’s own good and then offering to verify whether someone’s husband was reliable–she was quite the drama queen.
Alyssa had to suppress a chuckle, Are you joking? You can’t trivialize matters like this. If Reese’s reputation is tarnished, Malcolm will make sure you pay dearly.”

“Oh, Alyssa, don’t be ridiculous. How can you say such a thing? We’re Reese’s family, too, Do you really want to create a rift
