Fall in Love with the Dominant Billionaire
Chapter 198 The Man Who Overpowered Her
Caught
the moment, Reese couldn’t find the words to
ds to speak. Her ordened heart was slowly melting before this man.
Her fear was losing control over situations, but sometimes the heart can’t always be commanded,
“Malcolm, I really.
“Alright, now’s not the time for sweet talk. Change your clothes and wash your face, or else we’ll have some explaining to do when we get back.”
Malcolm pulled a bag from the trunk and handed it to Reese. She glanced inside to see a change of clothes, shoes, and even makeup remover–all included. A twitch formed at the corner of her eye.
The man had thought of everything, further proving he knew exactly the ins and outs of this excursion.
In the end, she had underestimated him.
She had spent so long running, fearful that he would discover her true identity, but it seemed he had caught on to something long before she realized. He had kept his silence to save her pride and reputation, understanding everything with a clarity that was frightening. This man was far more complex than she had imagined,
Calvin had joked that she was a wolf in sheep’s clothing, but little did he know, the guy in front of her was the real master of subtlety, a needle in a haystack.
Still, she was going to let down his kindness.
“Sorry, I can’t go back just yet. The medical research center still needs me,” she said, expecting Malcolm to get angry, to accuse her of ingratitude. She braced herself for his reaction, but he just stared at her for a few seconds before bursting into a hearty laugh that dissolved the tension in the car and left her befuddled.
“Why are you laughing?” she asked.
Wasn’t this the moment when he should be thundering with rage, furiously questioning her taking advantage of his goodwill?
Malcolm watched the young woman before him, a mere twenty years old, yet exuding a powerful aura capable of weathering any storm. He had once thought that a tragic childhood had shaped Reese’s character, but now he saw her not as a delicate flower grown in a greenhouse, but rather as a wild weed–rusilient and far more precious.
She had a clarity about right and wrong, knew when to hold on and when to let go; for her beliefs, she would stop a

Malcolm smiled tenderly, touching his forehead to hers.
“Perhaps I was supposed to wait for you.”
Reese sniffled, not wanting to appear weak in front of Malcolm–that wasn’t her style.
She swiftly changed the subject. “Do you know what’s inside the box
His gaze deepened thoughtfully as he stroked his chin, a sharp glint lashing in his eyes.
“Some kind of medication, I guess. Surely it’s not anything illegal.”
He knew Reese wasn’t the kind to get involved in shady or illegal activities, even though she had had her clever moments. She wasnt the type to scruple at nothing for money or anything else.
He was certain of that.
It wasn’t a surprise to Reese. Since Malcolm had dug up the details thoroughly, he must have a pretty good idea of what was in the box.
Since he was onto her, she saw no point in hiding the truth.
“It’s a prototype of a new cancer drug. It hasn’t been released for treatment yet, as it researchers at the medical institutes. But we’re hopeful that once it passes the final tests, it could be a real breakthrough in cancer

Malcolm arched an eyebrow. “So why wouldn’t my wife involve me in this life–saving mission?”
Reese looked at him, her surprise morphing into sarcasm.
“Are you joking? The gravity of the situation may be lost on others, but surely you understand, right? You know exactly who we’re dealing with without needing any explanation.”
Their skill, sharp observation, counter–surveillance tactics, and precision when shooting were not that of your average hitman.
Today Malcolm saw it
too. Even Reese had nearly been overrun, inainly because they hadn’t expected such a heavily guarded transport for a single box. She and Calvin had speculated that the opposition wouldn’t bring heavy backup to avoid drawing attention. Clearly, they were anything but discreet.
Malcolm nodded thoughtfully, his handsome face depicting no sign of panic or delayed realization.

“Cut it out. How do you manage to make a joke out of something serious?”
If not for their good fortune, they all would have been trapped on that train, and their chances of survival would have been question.
