Chapter 238 Unearthing Malcolm’s Secrets
“Begin the investigation immediately. We need to determine if Maloom has any affiliations with the Harmony Alliance, Reese commanded. Her mind was a whirlpool of confusion, especially regarding Malcolm’s true identity. She had harbored suspicions previously, but the potential link to the Harmony Alliance was an unexpected twist.Calvin, well–acquainted with the Harmony Alliance, felt a chill creep down his spine at the mere mention of the name. “Reese, you can’t he serious,” he exclaimed, his voice trembling slightly. “Your husband was involved with the Harmony Alliance? That’s no trifling matter. “The Harmony Alliance’s influence was undeniable. They had their tendrils in every conceivale venture, constantly locking horns with their adversaries in a relentless battle for resources and business supremacy. It was univerally acknowledged that the clash between two such powerhouses could potentially wreak havoc on a global scale. Moreover, the Individuals comprising the Harmony Alliance were notoriously ruthless, devoid of any semblance of humanity. If Malctil was indeed associated with them, it was a recipe for disaster.“I can’t be entirely certain, Reese confessed, her voice wavering. “I noticed a tatton on him that resembled their insignia. 1 didn’t manage to capture a photograph, but the design is etched in my memory from a previous encounter with their members. “Calvin was skeptical. “Reese, are you absolutely certain you didn’t misinterpret it?” he asked as he was in disbelief. Malcolm was a distinguished businessman, a titan in his field with a promising future. He was a man who had scaled the heights of success; why would he risk being entangled with the Harmony Alliance? Wasn’t that akin to willingly stepping into a predicament? Calvin was baffled as to why Malcolm, intelligent as he was, would make such a grave error. Reese wished she could knock some sense into Calvin. If she weren’t currently at the Flynn’s estate, she would have flown to him and given him a piece of her mind. “Have you lost your senses?” she retorted, her voice laced with frustration. “I never forget a face or a pattern. How could I possibly be mistaken?“Calvin hastily apologized, “I’m sorry, Reese. I was wronJust get on it. Utilize whatever contacts or resources you have. We need to uncover the truth.” Reese’s voice was firm. If Malcon had any intricate ties with the organization, she feared she wouldn’t be able to maintain her facade much longer. Her cover might soon be compromised.Calvin was hesitant to exploit their local contacts. It was a precarious situation that put him in a difficult position. “Reese, have you considered the implications?” he asked cautiously. “Once we start tugging at that thread, you could be exposed. If your husband is indeed linked to the Harmony Alliance, the authorities might begin to suspect collusion… In essence, they were a married couple. If one was implicated, the
vequences were unpredictable. Of course, he trusted Reese. But convincing others wouldn’t be as straightforward–that was the crux of the matter.“For now, just continue the investigation. It’s akin to concealing a secret; it’s bound to be revealed eventually,” Reese concluded, her voice resolute.
The intricate intricacies of the Harmony Alliance were complex, and Malcolm’s role as a business tycoon left a shroud of uncertainty/ over his company’s involvement. Reese had a great deal to unravel.The question now was how much Reese could unearth. She nurtured a glimmer of hope that she might glean some of Malcolm’s company’s secrets from the man himself.Given Reese’s directive, Calvin was left with no other option but to comply.“Alright, I’m on it now,” he affirmed. “Hold on, also keep an eye on Mr. Tartt. When I confronted him alongside Malcolm, he evaded whilst giving a straightforward answer. I suspect he’s not being truthful. The true nature of Mr. Tartt was far from simple. The thought of the Flynn family had unknowingly harbored such a dangerously connected individual for so many years was chilling. “Reese, you’re delving into matters of no small consequence. Be cautious. They’re still in the dark about your location. If they were to discover…“Escaping again might not be as straightforward as had been previously. Feeling cornered, Reese saw no other option but to gamble everything.“Understood. After ending the call, she quickly deleted the call log from her specially modified phone, designed to leave no trace when crased. It was a small comfort. As she turned to head inside, she barely managed a step before colliding with Malcolm. Her heart skipped a beat as she accidentally locked eyes with his piercing gaze.With a slight raise of his eyebrows he inquired, “Where have you been, darling? Just had a call from a colleague about some document issues. They needed to clarify a few things with me. “Her ability to navigate tricky situations. remained sharp, sharpened by adversity–she wouldn’t falter easily. “Hmm, what document? Do you need my help with it?” Malcolm offered, his warm hand resting on Reese’s delicate shoulders. His gade was so intense that it seemed as if the light in his eyes could barely be contained. His affection was palpable, and the gentleness his touch spoke volumes of his love.The way one looks at a loved one is something that can’t be hidden. His eyes were filled with nothing but Reese Yet, Reese didn’t feel a hint of that adoration when she looked back at him. Instead, she felt a chill run down her spine. Malcolm was a sharp man; even when his gaze seemed to just take you in, who knew if he was actually scrutinizing he tiniest expressions on your face.She shook her head and bluntly dismissed his offer, “No, thanks.“Why don’t you be my assistant tomorrow? No work is necessary. Just keep me company, pour me some coffee, and maybe… As Malcolm spoke, he instinctively leaned closer to Reese, his warm breath tickling her ear, causing her entire body to quiver.He was back at it with his subtle charms – always managing to unsettle her with a simple gesture. But Reese wasn’t like other women; she wasn’t passive in fact, she preferred to take the lead.She liked to be in control, not just accept what was given to her. After all, she and Malcolm were already in a marriage of sorts, and with him being so strikingly attractive, why would she curb her desires?just as Malcolm was anticipating Reese’s reaction, she turned, wrapped her arms his neck, rose on her toes, and planted a kiss on his lips…Malcolm, who had only intended to tease her, was caught off gua tables were turned on him. Both were strong–willed, and in this area, Reese was certainly not the underdog. Malcolm, as a man, was

neither wanted to yield, and it wasn’t long before they found themselves in bed together. IMalcolm had begun to pin her down, smirking at the unexpected turn of events. “Just relax and enjoy it, darling,” he said with a teasing wink.
