ll in Love with the Dominant Billionaire
Chapter 252: It’s Your Own Shame
A peculiar sensation seized Everly as Reese’s icy words echoed through the room, sending an involuntary shiver down her spine. It was as though the entire hall had succumbed to a sudden frost, the temperature plummeting with Reese’s entrance.
Vincent, ensconced in his chair, felt the potent aura radiating from Reese envelop him. Despite previous encounters with such intensity, he found himself momentarily disarmed.

A secret hope stirred within him, a wish for Everly to somehow outmaneuver Reese. Yet, the stark reality was evident; Everly was no match for Reese. In terms of sheer presence alone, Reese dwarfed he let alone in any other aspect.
With a composed, measured stride, Reese approached Everly. Her gaze swept over her with such nonchalance that Everly flinched visibly. A chill slithered up Everly’s spine as she attempted to maintain a facade of composure, but her expression betrayed her
“You…. You realize your error, don’t you? Can you comprehend the scent of the chaos you’ve inflicted upon stuttered.
the company?” she
A scornful laugh escaped Reese’s lips. “I don’t require your concern regarding my influence on the company. My husband is more than capable of managing it. And you, Everly,” she sneered, ‘As my sister, you appear to be overstepping your boundaries. Shall [ expose your fraudulent activities and kickbacks to everyone present?
Everly’s complexion drained instantly, her mind a whirlwind of shock. How had Reese discovered her secret? Malcolm couldn’t have been the one to divulge it; if he had known, she wouldn’t still be standing here unscathed. How had Reese, a mere employee, come across such critical information?
ary of Everly’s dramatics. However, they had no choice but to endure it; Alyssa, who had been silently observing, was already weary Grandpa Flynn had summoned them for a family meeting. Alyssa found Everly’s actions increasingly intolerable. Instead of focusing on the business at hand, Everly was constantly scheming against Reese.
If Reese hadn’t returned when she did, Alyssa might have taken matters into her own hands. She hadn’t anticipated Reese catching Everly in such a critical misstep. It seemed like the opportune moment for her to intervene.
The room had been eerily silent until Alyssa suddenly cried out. “Everly, how could you stoop so low? Despite our differences, you’re still a part of this company. If you were in need of money, you could’ve approached Malcolm. How could you resort to embezzling profits?” At Alyssa’s accusation, Everly’s panic escalated, and in her agitation, she began to scramble for excuses.
She turned on Alyssa, her eyes aflame with indignation. “Alyssa, whose side are you on? What has Reese promised you for your unwavering loyalty? You can’t even discem right from wrong! I’ve been with this company for years, and she just waltzes in? Everyone’s witnessed her so–called talents. If it weren’t for the Flynn family’s leniency, she wouldn’t stand a chance at even the most mediocre firms, let alone a leading industry company.”
Everly’s words held some truth, and Vincent knew he should be supporting her, even though he recognized the validity in Reese’s accusations. His expertise might have been in the medical field, but that didn’t mean he was oblivious to the company’s affairs. After all, he had always harbored ambitions of wresting control of the business from Malcolm.

“Grandpa, there must be some misunderstanding,” he suggested. “Everly is a director, drawing a substantial salary every month. She wouldn’t need to resort to fraudulent activities. Besides, our family int exactly lacking in funds. Perhaps Reese has been misled by
baseless rumors.”
As he spoke, he cast a meaningful glance at Reese, who met his gaze with a sharp, fearless look. It was only a fleeting moment, but Vincent found himself compelled to look away; there was something disconcerting about holding her gaze for too long.
Despite the others‘ denial, Reese’s expression remained coolly detached, her eyes hinting at an unwavering confidence, enough to make even Everly feel like she had made a misstep. Yet now, with the situation teetering on the edge, retreating would mean certain defeat for Everly. Surely Reese had no concrete evidence. How could mere employee have proof of fraudulent accounts? She had to be blufting.

Bodstered by this thought, Evidly straightened her back, summoning her courage. “Reese, perhaps you’re merely attempting to divert attention from the fact that grandpa mentioned divorcing my brother–your petty schemes are so transparent, there’s no need
for theatrics.
Reese lowered her head slightly, appearing to radiate a halo of light, capturing the attention of everyone present. Facing Everly, her scornful smile surfaced effortlessly, amplifying Everly’s panic.
What kind of enigma was this woman? No matter the circumstances, he always seemed unfazed. Was she even acquainted with the concept of anxiety? The hall fell silent, save for Reese’s mocking volke. “Everly, I sometimes genuinely pity you. I understand why it’s agonizing to see my husband every day, yearning for him yet unable to touch. But sometimes, dear, you simply can’t force love.”
Her words only infuriated Everly further, her face contorting with rage, her shoulders trembling with barely concealed fury.
Reese, what are you so smug about? If it wasn’t for your naive sister believing Malcolm would never recover, do you honestly think you stood a chance?”
“You’re correct about one thing. If it wasn’t for me, Malcolm might have never recovered. Isn’t Vincent a renowned doctor? He should’ve treated Malcolm with utmost dedication. But why, after all this time, has there been no improvement? In fact, it’s deteriorating. I believe everyone here knows why.”

She left her accusation hanging, aware that revealing
Finn Sawyer didn’t express gratitude for Reese’s words. Instead, his anger was on the brink of erupting as he growled, “Reese, that’s enought
Everly quickly assumed the role of the victim, “Grandpa, look at her, she’s completely out of line in the Flynn household. I suggest we wait for my brother to return and then discuss their divorce.”
“My marriage is my business. Since when do I require your approval? A cool, confident voice echoed from the doorway.
Everyone was taken aback by Malcolm’s unexpected return. Everly’s anxiety soared as if the sky was falling, leaving her breathless.
