Calviry’s prompt response, “Hold on, Reese. “In the ensuing minutes, curiosity began to gnaw at the bystanders. They whispered amongst themselves, “What is she planning? She surely doesn’t have any dirt on Sophia? Who should ask? It probably a bluff. What kind of leverage could she possibly have over someone like Seighda? Perhaps it’s just to intimidate her. Em genuinely Intrigued to see how she’s going to navigate her way out of this situation, “Unbeknownst to them, Reese held the reins of power. she so desired, she could compel anyone present to pack their belongings and bid the company farewell Calvin swiftly relayed the information to Reese’s cell phone. Upon reading the message, a sink of pure disdain spread across Reese’s face. At that moment, Sophia saw the confident expression of someone holding a royal the Reese sauntered over to Sophia, her lips parting slightly cold, mocking laughter echoed in the silent, frosty air. Do you want me to divulge your illustrious exploits to everyone? Engaging an affair with a higher–up, who happens to be married, if I might add. That’s called home wrecking, isn’t it? At the office, delegating your work to others–saving yourself the trouble. And let’s not forget last month, dipping into someone elsers kickbacks. Sophia’s face turned an unsightly shade of green, her features contorting with a mix of shock and confusion. She was clueless as to how Reese had acquired this information. Without connections or real intelligence, these things should have remained hidden. Was someone backing Reese? Was she bold enough to openly antagonize many in the company?And these were just the tip of the iceberg, Reese hadn’t even aired all of Sophia’s dirty laundry. Yet even these few rumors were enough to stir a storm in the office. “Sophia’s involved in an illicit affair in the company, becoming the other woman.” That’s unbelievable.“No wonder she’s been so arrogant, so bossy–she had someone backing her up.“Being the other woman, so shameful. She won’t be able to hold her head up here anymore.“The more Sophia heard, the more panicked she became. Now was not the time to worry about her pride.While everyone was still in shock, Sophia approached Reese and whispered a desperate plea.“Please, I’m begging you, don’t make this public. I’ve got a family to take care of; it wasn’t easy for me to get to this point in the city.“Reese glanced at her coldly, “And how is that my problem?“Sophia had knowingly stirred the hornet’s
Hand now had to deal with the consequences At this point, Sophia couldn’t care less how Reese found out. She knew this woman was not to be trifled with and had the means to unearth such secrets. which showed she was a force to reckon with.If graveling to Reese meant keeping her job and everything she’d worked for, that was a no–brainer. The real question was whether Reese would accept her plea. Sorry, Reese, I really am. Please, let me off the book this time. We can’t let Mr. Flynn get wind of this, or I’m a goner, she pleaded.Everyone knew how exacting Mr. Flynn was concerning work; he didnt spare anyone who slipped up. And her mistake was no small matter.She had poured blood, sweat, and tears into getting this far. She couldn’t let it all crumble now. But Reese had a heart of stone, especially when someone crossed her line. Even it Sophia were to keel over right then and there, Reese wouldn’t bat an eyelid. “Sorry, but I’m no saint,” Reese said, brushing aside Sophia’s hand with disdain. “I live by the rule You scratch my back, I scratch yours. If you push your luck, don’t expect me to play nice. “With that, Reese walked away, leaving Sophia standing there in a daze.

Chapter 247: Knocking On Death’s Door–2
In the hallway, Reese’s fingers danced over her phone, dialing Calvin’s number with ease. Calvin’s voice, laced with confusion, echoed from the other end. “Didn’t I already send you all the updates, Reese?” “Indeed, you did,” Reese replied, her voice steady and calm. “But now, I need you to delve into something else. Have you seen the internet? Those negative stories about me? Her voice remained as tranquil as a still pond, her face untroubled, as if the topic of discussion was unrelated to her.Calvin, who had been drowning in a sea of work at the office for the past few days, responded, “I haven’t had the chance yet.” “Take a look now, and find out who’s behind it,” Reese commanded, her composure as solid as a lock, Calvin quickly booted up his laptop and his face contorted into a grimace. The content was nothing short of slanderous. His blood boiled, “Who the hell posted this garbage? They must have a death wish!” Someone had dared to air Reese’s dirty laundry, revealing painful secrets she’d kept locked away, and now they were on display for the world to see.While Calvin was seething, Reese remained cerily composed, which only served to unsettle Calvin further. “Come on, Reese, this involves you! Don’t be so indifferent show some reaction!” he implored. “What good does reacting do? You need to investigate. I won’t solve anything by losing my cool without knowing who’s behind it,” Reese retorted. Reese admired many things about Calvin, but his tendency to be hot–headed and impulsive was testing her patience. He often lacked the ability to remain level–headed. But at his core, he was just too impulsive.Realizing the validity of Reese’s point, Calvin composed himself. “Right, right, just give me a couple of minutes. I’ll find the jerk who’s messing with my friend Reese. They’ve crossed the line!” Reese was on the verge of rolling her eyes in exasperation. “Cas you just do more and talk less, please?” she asked, her voice laced with irritation. All day long, he was just yapping away endlessly like a gossipy neighbor.Calvin hung up the phone and promptly began his investigation into the mastermind behind the scenes. Reese leaned casually against the railing, waiting. She had faith in Calvin’s competence; if he said two minutes, she would have her answers in two.And sure enough, a minute and a half later, Calvin was back on the line. Reese, her heart pounding with anticipation, asked, “Who was it?” “It was Shirley, from the Sawyers. She’s had her eye on your husband for a while now,” Calvin replied, making sure to emphasize the last few words. “But Reese,
Beese wasn’t seriously, you need to keep an eye on your man. It’s like he’s collecting admirers without even trying. At that moment, thinking about Malcolm but about how to deal with Shirley, how to get even. Not receiving an immediate response, Calvin’s voice grew louder over the phone. “Reese, why the silence?” “Isn’t there that big trade association election in a few days? They’re choosing a president, right? Roese asked, changing the subject.“Yeah, and it’s big deal. Getting elected is a huge boost for anyone’s reputation in the industry. That’s why you’ve been getting all those gifts lately; they’re probably hoping you’ll vote for them,” Calvin explained Reese, though never openly active in the industry circles, had her reputation. Most people didn’t realize that she and Malcolm were powerhouses in their own right. But if it came down to a battle of leverage, it would depend on how strong their unseen influences were. From what Reese could tell, Malcolm wasn’t just a simple businessman; there could be more to it, yet to be uncovered.A spark of determination ignited in Reese’s eyes as she processed the information. “The Sawyers will be attending too, right?” she asked, her voice filled with resolve.
