Chapter 323 Vincent’s Inquiry into Reese
Had it been any other soul, they might have erupted in a fit of rage, but Vincent was a man of remarkable patience. The harshness of Everly’s words seemed to bounce off him, leaving his countenance undisturbed. After a moment of silence, he responded with a tranquility that belied the tension in the room. “Do you consider your recent conduct any better? What if we were to wager? Had you dared to utter another word earlier, Malcolm would have undoubtedly demanded your immediate departure, and not even your grandfather could have intervened.“His reference to the previous incident stoked the simmering anger within Everly. “Malcolm never treated me this way before. It all changed because of Reese,” she retorted.Vincent found her accusation amusing. “Isn’t the answer obvious? Reflect on it: there was no contention between you and Regse previously. As for your sentiments towards Malcolm, I need not elaborate.“You can’t bear to witness their love unfold before your eyes, and you can’t reconcile with the fact that Malcolm, a man who usually maintains a safe distance from love, would be so captivated by a woman as ordinary as Reese. Allow me to clarify something–Reese might appear ordinary to you, but in my perspective, she’s anything but.“Reese possessed a myriad of unique ideas that most women lacked, a fact that Everly was blind to. Her vision was clouded by jealousy for Reese.Everly’s sanity was slowly slipping away due to Malcolm’s indifference towards her.Vincent’s praise for Reese, right in front of her, only served to fan the flames of her fury.“What are you insinuating, Vincent?” Everly questioned, her voice laced with sarcasm. “Don’t forget who Reese truly is. And now you’re actually defending her.“Vincent had no desire to engage in a futile argument with Everly, a woman whose judgment was impaired by her unrequited love. It was a Herculean task for her to maintain composure when she was lost in her thoughts. “Everly, you won’t find solace here. Instead of squandering your time, why don’t you concentrate on your work? As for them, it will be quite a challenge to drive a wedge between them unless you can uncover a point of contention or discover more of Reese’s secrets,” Vincent finally suggested, his voice carrying a hint of advice.Everly seemed to grasp something from Vincent’s* words. “What are you implying?” “Just ponder over it,” Vincent replied, his smile filled with hidden meaning. He was confident that his message was explicit enough and believed that Everly would decipher his intent.After mulling over his words, Everly nodded in understanding. “I understand. As long as I can unearth Reese’s secrets, I will be able to use them as leverage.““I’ve spoken more than necessary. The rest is up to you.” Vincent casually tossed the remaining fish food. “Return to your room and rest. It was better for her to depart than to be misconstrued by others. Vincent had no desire to maintain close ties with Everly. She seemed to lose all rationality when confronted with matters of the heart.Having vented her pent–up frustrations and unwilling to prolong her encounter with Vincent, Everly exited his apartment, still perceiving him as a coward. In Malcolm’s presence, Vincent refrained from speaking his mind, choosing instead to operate from the shadows. Such a man was difficult to trust.
Once Everly left, Vincent found himself gazing out the window, his countenance swiftly morphing into something far more ominous. He retrieved his phone from his pocket and dialed an enigmatic number.“Did you manage to get it?” he inquired.“Yes, we did. Today, Malcolm dispatched someone to shadow Reese, and we followed suit. We discovered that Reese had visited Nolan’s residence,” the voice on the other end of the line reported. A frown creased Vincent’s forehead, his features momentarily hardening. The news was difficult to digest.“To Nolan’s place?” he echoed, incredulous.Why on earth would Reese venture there? Nolan’s residence was far from ordinary.“Yes, but it appears that Reese is quite acquainted with the place. It’s likely that she and Nolan are well–acquainted, the voice on the other end continued.Vincent’s unease intensified. The revelation that Reese was entangled with some organization suggested that matters were far from straightforward.A sudden burst of laughter erupted from him, echoing down the phone line. “It appears that things are becoming quite intriguing,” he mused. Reese, it seemed, harbored a significant secret. His suspicions had been correct; there was more to Reese’s identity than met the eye. The extent of what remained hidden was yet to be uncovered.One thing, however, was certain the future promised an escalating series of dramatic events. The prospect of a tranquil life together seemed increasingly elusive.The voice on the other end sounded perplexed. “Second Young Master, what do you mean by that?” “Never mind. Investigate whether Reese has any other aliases or secrets. Also, arrange a meeting with Nolan. I wish to speak with him.““And when would that be?“Vincent glanced at his wristwatch. “In approximately half an hour. I have a fair amount of free
e widened, his time at present. It seems an opportune moment to pay him a visit.““Understood.“After ending the call, Vincent’s demeanor resembling that of a cunning fox plotting its next scheme it wasn’t long before everything was in place. At nine o’clock, Vincent departed his residence for a local teahouse. Given Nolan’s advanced age, he likely favored such a serene environment. Upon entering the private room, he found Nolan seated there, leisurely sipping his tea. Vincent addressed the guy trailing behind him.“Stay at the entrance.” “Understood, Second Young Master.“Vincent then took a seat opposite Nolan.“Nolan, it’s been some time,” he greeted.“Indeed, Vincent. It has been a while. I’ve heard you’ve been rather occupied. I didn’t wish to intrude,” Nolan replied. Nolan had previously sought Vincent’s help when he fell gravely ill. Despite consulting numerous doctors, his condition remained unchanged. While not life–threatening, it significantly impacted his daily life. It was only after a fortuitous encounter with Vincent that his health began to improve, largely due to Vincent’s dedicated care.Vincent, far from naive, posed a direct question. “Nolan, did you recently request Reese to examine your health?“Nolan’s surprise was evident upon hearing Reese’s name. “You’re acquainted with Reese?” “Are you not aware that Reese is my sister–in–law, and a well–respected figure in our medical community? It was her expertise that healed my brother Malcolm’s leg,” Vincent retorted, his expression suggesting that Nolan should have known this.Nolan, still attempting to piece together the puzzle, remained oblivious to Vincent’s true intentions.“Are you suggesting that Reese is a legend in the medical field?” he queried.
