Fall in Love with the Dominant Billionaire
Chapter 332 The Devil from Hell
Upon hearing Reese’s audacious self–assuredness, Everly found herself growing increasingly wary. Her recent trials had left her with no doubts about Reese’s capabilities. Yet, the mystery of Reese’s origins lingered. She realized she needed to delve deeper,
In a previous attempt, Everly had expended a small fortune hiring someone to dig into Reese’s past, only to be met with a lack of substantial information.
In her relentless pursuit of Reese’s Achilles heel, Everly reached out to another contact.
Bitter resentment simmered within her, tinging her words with a harsh edge as she commanded, ‘I need you to uncover Reese’s history for me, immediately. Spare no expense. I want every detail about her in my hands within forty–eight hours.”
“Got it, Everly,”
As the call ended, a sinister gleam flickered in Everly’s eyes, her fists clenching in resolve.
Reese, just you wait,‘ she thought. ‘I will make you kneel before me. The Flynn family won’t be able to remain here for long. And as for Shirley, can’t she use her brain
of throwing around money?‘
The thought of the foolish woman sparked a new determination in Everly. She wouldn’t let Shirley escape unscathed. Dialing Shirley’s number, she prepared for the confrontation.
Oblivious to Reese’s knowledge of the situation and her prior conversation with Everly, Shirley answered the call with naive innocence. “Everly, is there something else you need assistance with? Just let me know. I’ll take care of it.”
Shirley foolishly assumed that Everly’s call signaled another job opportunity. Given the ease with which she had earned money previously, she was eager to establish a long–term partnership with Everly. After all, why wouldn’t she capitalize on the wealth of the Flynn family?
However, Shirley’s words only served to stoke Everly’s fury. “Have you lost your mind? I asked you to sabotage Reese, not to create problems for me!”
Caught off guard by Everly’s sudden outburst, Shirley struggled to regain her composure. “Everly, what’s wrong? I did exactly as you asked and leaked Reese’s information to the media. Even if Reese investigates, she shouldn’t be able to trace it back to you.”
“She’s already traced it back to me, I assure you. Reese called me just a while ago, confirming as much,” Everly retorted. If Shirley wasn’t currently absent from her side, Everly could almost envision herself slapping Shirley across the face.
Shirley was taken aback. “Impossible. How could she have found out? We took every precaution. There’s no way she could have traced it back to you.”
In theory, given Reese’s abilities, she shouldn’t have been able to discover the truth so quickly. But this unexpected development only deepened Everly’s suspicion of Reese’s background.
The more Everly discussed the situation with Shirley, the more her anger surged. “Shirley, if you screw up again, our partnership is over. And let me remind you, Reese is notorious for exacting revenge on those who cross her. You’d better tread carefully, Reese “won’t show you any mercy!”
Everly’s warning sent a chill down Shirley’s spine. “What should we do, Everly? Can you help me?”
“Help you? How can I possibly help you? I don’t even know if I can save myself at this point. Who knows what Reese is plotting? You’d better watch your back,” Everly responded before abruptly ending the call. She paused for a moment to gather her thoughts, then made her way to Malcolm’s office on the 18th floor.
Without bothering to knock, Everly breezed into the office and began to flirtatiously address Malcolm. “Malcolm…”

Chapter 332 The Devil from Hell
Malcolm was engrossed in some documents. Hearing Everly’s voice, s brow furrowed. “Speak properly!
Everly knew Malcolm didn’t appreciate het flirtatious demeanor, but he took a perverse pleasure in knowing he didn’t entirely despise it. Leaning on his desk, she wore an expression of dissatisfaction and grievance. Have you seen the news online? she
asked.
Malcolm gave a curt nod, his face betraying no emotion. “Yes, I have What of it?”
Everly hadn’t expected Malcolm’s indifference, which left her slightly deflated. She took a deep breath. “Do you know who’s responsible?”
With a fluid motion, Malcolm picked up the pen and etched his signature onto the contract. Once the task was completed, he lifted his gaze to meet Everly’s, his expression still devoid of any discernie interest. “Does this matter?‘ he queried, his voice laced with indifference.
“Why shouldn’t it matter, Malcolm?” Everly retorted, her voice tinged with desperation. ‘Don’t you consider me a part of the Flynn family? You know those things have always been a bad dream in my mind.”
Everly’s disappointment was palpable, her heart sinking at Malcolm’s nonchalant reaction. It was clear to her that even after witnessing the top news online, Malcolm had made no effort to find a solution for her, allowing events to unfold on their own. She was loath to accept the bitter reality that he truly didn’t care about her.
“Do you even know who did it?” Malcolm’s voice cut through the silence, his pen clattering onto the table as he leaned back in his chair, a glacial glint appearing in his eyes. “Shouldn’t you have told me who leaked the news about Reese before all this?”
Everly found herself momentarily at a loss, but a sudden realization dawned on her.
Her eyes narrowed. “So, you already knew it was Reese. You’re protecting her! Why?”
“Because she’s my wife.”
“I am your family too!” Everly’s voice echoed through the room, her frustration evident at Malcolm’s mention of family.
Everly had always assumed that Malcolm was preoccupied and didn’t have time to pay attention to online matters. She was oblivious to the fact that he had known all along and had simply chosen to ignore it.
Malcolm’s gaze hardened instantly. “Everly, you still remember that you’re my family. Reese is my wife, but you’ve been plotting against her behind my back without considering my feelings. What do you want me to do? Blame Reese and take your side?”
Everly’s lips formed a pout. “That’s exactly what should happen, Malcolm! Only then can I be with you for the rest of my life! Reese’s background is unclear. Who knows what ulterior motives she had when she married into the Flynn family? She might abandon you one day and run into another man.”
“I would rather lose you than lose Reese.” Malcolm’s words landed like a heavy stone, leaving Everly stunned. She stared at Malcolm in disbelief, repeating his words. “What…what did you just say? You’d rather lose me than lose Reese?”
“You are different. There’s no comparison. You’re my sister. She’s my wife. But if you insist on making me choose, I’ll choose the person who will be by my side for the rest of my life. Everly, you should be content. If it weren’t for my sake, you wouldn’t even be here talking to me.”
Malcolm’s words didn’t intimidate Everly, for she was well aware of Reese’s capabilities and background. Reese was an assassin, a member of an underground organization. It wouldn’t be easy for anyone to take her down. Even if someone attempted to investigate, Reese was skilled enough to leave no traces behind, ensuring they would find nothing. Little did Everly know that she had incited the wrath of a devil from hell.
