Reese thought to herself, she didn t expect Alyssa to recognize the value of the bracelet.
She admitted calmly, “Yep, my husband gave it to me.”
Alyssa face twisted in shock. ‘Is Malcolm out of his mind? Giving you such an expensive bracelet.”
Reese found it amusing and looked at her confidently. “Why is it crazy for my husband to give me something? Isn’t that perfectly normal?”
Alyssa shot Reese a disdainful look. “It’s not a problem for Malcolm to give his wife something, but it depends on the person. Someone like you, wearing cheap clothes, flaunting such an expensive bracelet is a joke. Even if people see it, they’ll think it’s fake and it’ll just devalue the bracelet.”
“Look at yourself, do you even deserve to wear something so pricey?”
Reese didn’t feel inferior at all. The fact that she liked the million–dollar bracelet was a blessing for the bracelet, wasn’t it? But Alyssa’s mouth was getting nastier.
some manners.”
She calmly glanced at her watch. “Hmm, I still have some time. Let me teach you some
Alyssa didn’t expect Reese to not only be unashamed but also brazenly claim she would teach her manners.
She scoffed disdainfully. “Who do you think you are to teach me manners!”
Reese stood up, slowly rolled up her sleeves, and walked towards Alyssa. Alyssa, for some reason, felt a bit scared seeing Reese’s demeanor and watched her warily.
“Reese, what are you going to do?”
Reese walked up to her, towering over Alyssa, her height and presence overwhelming her.
She picked up a cup and said naturally, “Teach you some manners.”
with that, she pinched Alyssa’s lips with two fingers, forcing her mouth open.
- n. Before Alyssa could react, Reese poured the water from the cup into her
mouth.
Alyssa struggled frantically. The more she fought, the more fiercely the water poured, making her cough violently.
When the cup was finally empty, Reese let go and stepped aside to avoid getting splashed.
Alyssa clutched her chest, her face red with embarrassment, glaring daggers at Reese.
“Are you out of your mind? How dare you do this to me!”
Alyssa kept patting her chest, coughing uncontrollably, almost feeling like she was going to pass out.
Reese placed the cup back on the table, her eyes cold and intimidating.
“I’m not crazy. It’s you not respecting me. After all, I am Malcolm’s legal wife. You have no right to be disrespectful to me. Whether I come from the countryside or deserve this million–dollar bracelet is not for you to judge. If you think I’m not worthy of Malcolm, go tell Grandpa.”

If she couldnt complain, could she not even win in a verbal attack?
Alyssa raised her head arrogantly. ‘Du you really think you’re significant? Just because you married into the Flynn family, you think you can act all high and mighty? Officially, you may be Malcolm’s wife, but no one in the Flynn family acknowledges your status. Don’t think too highly of yourself. Be careful not to fall from a great height ”
Reese didn’t respond. She just slowly reached for the milk cup on the table. As soon as she picked it up, Alyssa stood up from her chair, looking at her

Beese leaned in close, her lips almost brushing Alyssa’s. “Having breakfast, what else?” she asked, all casual–like.
Alyssa, nerves jangling, thought
it Herse was about in force–feed her again. Reese was strong, and Alyssa knew she couldn’t break free if it came to that Feeling awkward, she plopped back down in her seat.
Reese found Alyssa’s scaredy–cat look kinda funny. After downing her milk, she tossed a casual comment Alyssa’s way. “Look, it’s a fact that I married. Malcolm. You can’t change that. If we argue, you’ll lose. If we fight, you’ll lose even harder. So, might as well chill out.”
With that, Reese grabbed her bag and stratted out, giving Alyssa a little wave goodbye. Alyssa watched her leave, fuming, cheeks puffed up like a chipmunk. She slammed the table–Reese was just too danin arrogant!
But what could she do? She couldn’t handle Reese on her own. So, she called Vincent, turning on the waterworks and whining.
“Vincent, you gotta come back quick. The woman Malcolm married is destorying our home.”
Vincent was still abroad, caught up in some medical research. He rarely came back to The Flynn Villa cause he hated the vibe there, especially seeing Malcolm–it just dredged up bad memories. He’d heard their grandpa had set Malcolm up with a fiancée, supposedly to fulfill some old marriage agreement,
“What happened, Alyssa? Who’s messing with you?”
“It’s that Reese chick. She’s hanging around, claiming she can fix Malcolm’s leg. I want her out. Vincent, you gotta help me.”
Vincent was taken aback by that. His voice got all tense. “She said she can cure Malcolm’s leg?”
“Yeah, Malcolm says he can already feel something in his leg.” Alyssa didn’t think much of it; she just wanted Vincent to come back and bout Reese out 10 she could have another ally.
Vincent snapped out of it. “Alright, I’ll come back in a couple of days to check it out. Don’t start any lights, though. Remember, she’s Malcolm’s wife.”
“Vincent… don’t say that. I can’t stand her,”
Alyssa pouted, looking all displeased. Vincent hung up, his calm demeanor shattered, his voy cold. “Book a flight for the day after tomorrow.”
His assistant, Alex Evans, who was not only a doctor at the medical school but also a VP at the subsidiary company, stepped forward. “Mr. Flynn, there’s a surgery scheduled at the hospital the day after tomorrow. Are you sure you want to go back then?”
Vincent’s sinisterly handsome face filled Alex’s view, his dark eyes flashing with a chilling coldness. “If I don’t go back soon, everything I’ve worked so hard for might be gone.”
“Understood,”
Malcolm got the news pretty quick. Justin said, “Mr. Malcolm Flynn, Mr. Vincent Flynn is coming back the day after tomorrow. He’s already booked the flight.”
chiseled,
Malcolm sat in his chair, rucking that suit and tie combo. The black suit just made him look even colder and more unapproachable, but damn, his handsome face had people swooning. Just sitting there, he had this king–like presence. His lips curled into a cold, charming smile. “He couldn’t hold back
after all.”
As long as Malcolm stayed paralyzed, Vincent wouldn’t be in a rush. But the moment he heard Malcolm might recover, he’d start freaking out and come running back. What a goud brother, huh?
Justin bowed his head slightly. “What should we do now?”
A dark glint flashed in Malcolm’s eyes. “He doesn’t want me to get better, but I won’t let him stop me.”
Justin looked a bit worried. “But if that’s the case, Mr. Vincent Flynn might target Mrs. Reese Flynn.”
After all, Reese was the key player now. Whether Malcolm’s leg could be cured depended entirely on her.
Hearing this, Malcolm’s eyes suddenly sharpened, and his aura became so intense that the temperature in the office seemed to drop. His voice canied a deadly hostility. “If he dares to harm my wife, he won’t live in peace.”
Justin was dumbfounded. The once aloof Malcolm had turned into a wife–protecting maniac. Anyone who dared to mess with his little wife would be
an instant. No doubt about it.
He couldn’t quite get what was so special about Herse that she had Malcolm wrapped around her finger. Then he remembered a funny story he heard from

Chapter 28 No Wonder Sh
the servants this morning and thought it
was worth sharing with Malcolm.
“Mr. Flynn, this morning I heard from the servants that during breakfast, Mrs. Reese Flynn and Miss Alyssa Flynn had a serious argument. Mrs. Heese Flynn ended up forcefully pouring water into Miss Alyssa Flynn’s mouth.”
Malcolm stayed silent, like he was frozen. Justin thought for sure he’d be pissed, given that Alyssa was also someone he doted on the little princess of the house, whom no one dared to mess with. But then, Malcolm’s smile grew wider, like he was actually pleased.
“No wonder she’s my wife.”
Justin was
stunned by his reaction.
Around noon, Calvin came to see Reese and brought some bad news. The company had been hacked by another company’s hackers, and their team couldn’t handle it. If the information got stolen, they’d suffer heavy losses,
Hearing this, Reese packed her things and was about to leave when she ran into Everly, who had just learned from Alyssa that Malcolms had bought Reese a priceless bracelet. She was so mad she almost tore the office apart. But realizing she was still at the company and that throwing a tantrum would lead to gossip among her colleagues, she held back. But even fate would help her by letting her run into Reese. No way she was letting her go..
Everly put on a serious face, exuding the authority of a director. “It’s work hours, where do you think you’re going?”
“Im going out for a bit. You can dock my pay.”
Reese said this in a hurry, trying to bypass Everly.
- ly. But Everly wasn’t having it and shouted sternly. Reese, stop right there!”
