Fall in Love with the Dominant Billionaire
Chapter 326 The Secret–1
Reese’s arrival at the clandestine base was met with the expectant gazes of Calvin and Louis. The two men had been waiting for her, their attention previously occupied by the news that had recently surfaced online.
“Who dares to expose Reese’s private affairs?” one of them questioned, his voice echoing in the room.
“Let’s find out,” another voice chimed in, determination lacing his words.
“Indeed, let’s uncover the culprit. I’ll ensure they come to regret their very existence,” the first voice vowed, his tone icy.
Louis, upon spotting Reese, nudged Calvin subtly. “Calvin, Reese is here,” he murmured.
“Boss… Reese…” Calvin’s voice trailed off as he looked up, his eyes meeting Reese’s determined gaze. They had been discussing the online news, and now, to their dismay, Reese had overheard their conversation.
Reese approached them, her expression hardened. “Have you all seen it?” she asked, her voice steady.
Louis nodded, his eyes filled with resolve. “Reese, we were just about to investigate who’s behind this.”
“Let others handle it. You two, come with me,” Reese commanded, her tone leaving no room for argument. Louis and Calvin exchanged a knowing glance before following her inside.
Once inside, Reese gestured towards the chairs. “Take a seat,” she instructed.
Louis was the first to break the silence. “Reese, we’ve made our decision. Calvin and I are ready to stand by you,” he declared.
Reese wasn’t taken aback by their declaration. They had been with her the longest, and she trusted them implicitly. If Calvin and Louis were the type to abandon her in times of crisis, she would never have relied on them in the first place.
“But Reese, I’m concerned about the Harmony Alliance. They’re connected to Malcolm. If you confront them, won’t Malcolm find out?” Calvin voiced his worry, his eyes filled with concern.
Furthermore, he couldn’t believe that someone as kind–hearted as Malcolm would have a mere superficial connection with the Harmony Alliance. “What if Malcolm holds a significant position within the Alliance, Reese? Could you be putting yourself in danger?”
Their collective experiences had given them a profound understanding of human nature. Some people might pear incredibly kind, ready to give you everything they have. But in reality, those very people might be the first to abandon you when times get tough. Such betrayals were all too common.
Reese, however, felt that there wouldn’t be any immediate danger. But her rational mind kept reminding her not to place her full trust in Malcolm. When it came to his own interests, there was no telling what Malcolm might do.
“For now, let’s set aside Malcolm’s involvement. When you go there, try to avoid any confrontations. After all, we’ll be stepping into someone else’s territory,” Reese advised.
Calvin and Louis exchanged incredulous glances.
Finally, Louis voiced his disbelief. “Reese, is that really you?”
Calvin nodded in agreement. “Reese, they say women become more cautious in relationships after marriage. Are you being careful because you’re worried about what might happen between you and Malcolm?”
Reese raised her hand as if to strike him. “Calvin, if you utter one more word, you can forget about going.”

‘No! No! Reese, I’ll go, Calviif pleaded, his voice filled with panic.
Louis couldn’t help but tease Calvin. “Only when Reese is around do Calvin bak down. If it was apie dies, you po long gone.”
After a moment of laughter, Louis turned to Reese. ‘Reese, you wouldn’t believe how bossy Calvin its when pressed the acts like he’s the boss, always ordering us around.”
“Is that so?‘ Reese glanced at Calvin, who immediately recoiled, slapping Louis in response.
“Louis, have you lost your mind? Aren’t we brothers? How could you badmouth me in front of Ree? To tring to get me d
out, aren’t you?”
Reese playfully hit Calvin over the head. ‘All you do is pick on Louis. If Louis hadn’t let you off easy, you might on has been his
match.
Calvin nodded, his voice filled with resignation. “Yes. Yes, Reese, you’re right.”
Louis, from the side, covered his mouth to hide his grin.
At that moment, Kay rapped on the door from the other side. “Reese, we’ve found the culprit.”
“And who might that be?”
“Shirley.”
Upon hearing that name, Calvin nearly leapt out of his skin. “Again! I recall the last time the fed the media a plethora of nonsense, asserting that Reese suffered from childhood trauma. Does she believe we failed to teach her a lesson previously? Did the Sawyer Family’s bankruptcy not serve as a sufficient wake–up call?”

Louis’s expression took on a serious hue. Over the years, he had come to regard Reese as a member of his own family. Now that someone had dared to harm Reese, Louis was certainly not going to let them escape retribution.
If that’s the case, then we must ensure Shirley is deterred from repeating such actions.”
I’m not entirely convinced,‘ Reese mused. The likelihood of Shirley being the mastermind seemed slim. Given her current resources, it would be a costly endeavor to unearth anything substantial about Reese, If Shirley lacked the necessary connections previously, it would be even more improbable now,
Louis quickly grasped the subtle implication in Reese’s words. “Are you suggesting that Shirley is merely a puppet in someone else’s scheme?
“Isn’t it evident? Shirley is in dire need of money at the moment. Accustomed to the luxuries of a wealthy heiress, she would never willingly settle for an ordinary life. Considering her current predicament, she’s likely worse off than most.
This implied that Shirley was desperately in need of funds, which had to be supplied by someone else. Louis exchanged a knowing glance with Calvin. “We should investigate if there have been any recent deposits into Shirley’s accounts.”
Reese made a dismissive gesture. “No, that might not yield any results. What if they simply handed her cash? The card seems unlikely. She probably seized this opportunity to demand a large sum of money.”
Calvin couldn’t help but express his admiration. “With that analysis, everything falls into place.”
Reese then turned to Kay. “Could you look into Shirley’s recent expenditures for me?”
“Of course, Reese. I’ll get on it immediately.”
A few minutes elapsed before Kay returned, information in hand. “Reese, I’ve found the person.”
“Who?”
“Everly, Malcolm’s sister.”
Kay appeared as taken aback as everyone else by this revelation. He hadn’t anticipated another adversary within the Flynn family. Envy among women was not an uncommon phenomenon.
Calvin instantly became alert. “Damn! Is it that woman who’s been infatuated with Malcolm?”
“A woman’s jealousy could drive Everly to such extremes, all for the sake of love. Everly has harbored feelings for Malcolm since childhood but never received the affection she desired. Now that I’ve come and taken him away, it’s natural for her to feel unsettled, especially considering I’m just an ordinary girl from the countryside
Calvin erupted into laughter upon hearing this. “Are you joking? Reese, if you’re ordinary, then the rest of us might as well cease to exist. Everly probably has no inkling of your true capabilities. Not just Everly, even the Flynn family, you’re more than a match for
them, okay?”
Louis nodded in agreement. “Some people fail to recognize their own limitations, yet insist they’re the ones who are deserving.”
Reese was indifferent to these matters. She was more interested in getting to the crux of the issue.
“Let’s not digress. What’s the main problem here?”
This redirected Calvin and Louis’s attention. “Right. We’re trying to figure out how Everly managed to uncover your past, Reese.”

Louis shook his head. “What can you do when you’re so exceptional, Reese? It simply makes you an easy target for ey
Reese was already formulating a strategy. She said to Louis, “Investigate Everly’s past.”
Louis immediately understood. “Reese, are you planning to retaliate in kind?”
Calvín applauded the idea. “Damn. Reese, that’s brilliant. It’s low risk, but incredibly humiliating
Reese smirked. “From now on, however Everly treats me, I’ll reciprocate in kind.”
Louis admired Reese’s quick thinking. It was remarkable how swiftly she could devise such a plan.
That’s how they perceived Reese – eternally invincible.
The thought of what lay ahead even excited Calvin. I look into it. Im on it right now, Reese, you chat with Lovis
With that, Calvin hurried out. Kay followed suit, realizing it was time for him to depart. “Reese, I’ll take my leave as wel
“Thank you,” Reese responded.
She had a private matter to discuss with Louis.
In the room, only Louis and Reese remained. Reese turned to Louis, her expression tinged with concern as she began to speak
“Louis, out of everyone here, you’re the most composed. I need to share something crucial with you, but you must promise to keep confidential.”
