Chapter 49 Just Attention–Seeking
Everly pulled Alyssa’s hand down and pointed at Reese.
“Okay, you say she’s resourceful, but she doesn’t even have basic manners. You’re deluding yourself if you think she is anyone important.”
Reese didn’t bother with Everly, not considering her at all. She disdainfully rolled her eyes and shifted her gaze back to Alyssa
This small action infuriated Everly, distorting her face adorned with delicate makeup. She tightly gripped Alyssa’s arm with her fingers.
“What was that look just now?”
Was she looking down on herself? Who does she think she is? Even if she’s Miss Everly, she’s way more noble compared to someone with no background like her.
Reese completely ignored Everly’s words and spoke directly to Alyssa.
“Aren’t you curious how I could tell which pharmacy you bought the medicine from just by the packaging?”
Alyssa nodded. “Yes, tell me.”
“You bought this medicine at noon today, around twelve fifty, right?”
Upon hearing Reese’s response, Alyssa suddenly realized, exclaiming, “You ve been following me!”
“What do you mean following? It just so happened that I saw you there today. Otherwise, hour would I know you were there?”
Reese spoke nonchalantly, but it made Alyssa’s face turn red, displaying a near frantic appearance.
“You…you clearly saw me, yet you stood by and watched me fall into your trap, Reese, you’re so scheming! Malenim’s marriage to you is a disaster.”
Even though this woman clearly saw her purchasing at the pharmacy, she didn’t say anything and watched as she embarrassed herself in front of so many people today.
If she were

Reese wasn’t angered at all, and instead smirked, seemingly in a great mood
“I am Malcolm’s lucky star, Otherwise, those logs of his would probably be crippled for life. But for you, it seems like a disaster.”
Alyssa gritted her teeth, her eyes fixedly glaring at Reese, unable to do anything else.
Normally, as the spoiled daughter of the Flynn family, she was domineering and powerful. She didn’t expect to encounter an opponent outside and even at home.
The problem was, she couldn’t physically beat her, and even with words alone, she couldn’t out argue her.
Compared to Alyssa, Everly remained much more composed. She earnestly looked at Reese.
“Now that you know Alyssa bought medicine at the pharmacy, why did you have to let her embarrass herself to front of so many people earlier, Reese? What is your intention?
Reese found it hard to understand how they could say such things. She raised her eyebrows with a hint of cold laughter, counter–questioning Everly.
“What about Alyssa? What is she up to? If I hadn’t accidentally seen her buying this medicine, letting her falsely accuse me, you would we definitely handed me over to the police, I would have not only faced divorce with Malcolm but also a lawsuit. My whole life would’ve been ruined because of this. Have you ever thought about that? Since none of you consider me, accusing me at will based on your mood, why should I give her this meaningless dignity?”
Every word she said was heartfelt. Alyssa and Everly stood stall, feeling like being scolded by a teacher, unable to rebut
Alyssa, with a sulky face, surprisingly felt a twinge of guilt as Reese spoke. She had indeed not considered the consequences of her actions; she merely wanted to teach Reese a lesson.
She didn’t like
anyone competing for her brother’s love.
Though unwilling. Alyssa reluctantly spoke up. “I’m sorry. I didn’t think it through this time. I didn’t actually want you to go to the police statim shidn’t want you to get too close to Malcolm.”
Before Reese arrived, she was the princess of the Flynn family, everyone doted on her and indulged her.
Ever since this annoying girl came, her love and her brother were snatched away. sergant in her own house.

This was clearly her territory, right?
The reason Heese didn’t hold Alyssa accountable was that she could tell Alyssa wasn’t malicious, just attention seeking and possessive.
Like a child who doesn’t want to share love with others.
But seeing Everly next to her, Reese’s gaze split into bone–chilling coldness, realizing that Everly was not as simple as Alyssa. Everly had more cunning in her schemes.
Reese walked up to Everly, her imposing presence suddenly manifesting. Even though Everly was already shorter than Reese by a foot, she inexplicably felt a surge of fear. Why would a regular person like Reese emit such a strong auta?
Was it her own cowardice or was this Reese in front of her not an ordinary person? Was the information they gathered about her incorrect?
Reese
could
see her unease and a clear flicker of panic in her eyes.
“Well, Miss Everly, you knew very well that Alyssa was the one who drugged the medicine, and you also knew that she wouldn’t succeed. Yet, you encouraged her to continue making mistakes.”
Everly stubbornly retorted, “You’re talking nonsense
“Whether I’m talking nonsense or not, you know it in your heart. It’s better to restrain these thoughts of framing me, or else you will only end yourselves.”
This was Reese’s final warning to the two of them. After that, she left.
Unaware of what had just happened, the room gradually became colder after her departure, and Everly regained her senses.

“Where’s Reese?“
Alyssa shook her head, her face full of confusion. “How would I know? Let’s go. Reese really scared me just now. Did you see that le
look in her eyes?
Just the thought sent a shiver down Everly’s spine. Such a sharp gaze. She had thought that the only person she would fear in her entire life was Malcolm, and Vincent didn’t scare her either. But today, she was actually frightened by a girl of a similar age.
Everly stood silently, not saying anything. If everything before was considered coincidental, then what was the meaning behind the coldness she felt just now? Despite being around the same age, their personalities were so different, as if they were from different worlds.
Alyssa chatted with Everly for a while, but she remained silent. When Alyssa turned her head, she noticed that Everly was standing there like a statue, motionless.
“Everly, what’s wrong? Did it scare you?”
Everly collected herself and spoke, “Nothing. I just feel like she’s different from us.”
Alyssa pouted. She was still angry about how Reese had scolded her earlier. Not even her grandfather had spoken to her like that. Who did that girl think she
