Chapter 347 Best to Tell the Truth
Vincent heard a hint from Reese's words, he smirked sinisterly and glanced at Reese.
"It seems that Reese's identity is indeed not simple. Being the boss of Emerald Isle doesn't count for much, what matters is, you are on Nolan's side, does Malcolm know?"
"This has nothing to do with you. Do you think I'm stupid enough to keep Malcolm in the dark? He might have known long ago. I don't need to guard against him, but I must guard against you!"
From the moment she first saw Vincent, she knew he was not a good person, and now she felt even more so.
Vincent was the kind of person who usually kept quiet but especially liked to stab people in the back.
"Reese, I've said it before, if the two of us can cooperate..."
"Vincent, I don't have time to waste on useless chatter with you. Either you meet the Grim Reaper today, or you tell me the truth now!"
Reese's momentum was fierce. Although she was just a woman, her words carried a sense of oppression, making people tremble with fear.
What puzzled Vincent even more was that although he also believed that Reese, in the Flynn family, even if she had ten times the courage, she wouldn't dare to really make a move on his turf. If he were to meet his end here today, she wouldn't escape responsibility either.
Even if Malcolm wanted to protect her later, it wouldn't be possible.
But her gaze, her aura, and her words all made people feel that she was capable of anything.
This woman was truly terrifying.
However, even if he told her, there would be no loss, and it wouldn't threaten him in any way.
"Fine, I'll tell you the truth, Reese. Can you let go of me first? Look, I haven't even put on my clothes yet, just wrapped in a towel. If someone comes in later, we'll be alone together in the room. If that gets out, it won't be good for your reputation."
Vincent was also somewhat wary of Reese. After all, the woman's aura was too powerful, and he was a little afraid.
Reese didn't want to stir up trouble, but Vincent was plotting against her behind her back, investigating her, so she had to be on guard.
But right under Vincent's nose, he couldn't come up with any tricks.
Before releasing Vincent, Reese warned him.
"You better not play tricks, or I can make you suffer."
"I know you're capable."
He really didn't dare to provoke her.
Reese then let him go, and Vincent shrugged, relieved. He instinctively touched his neck, feeling a slight ache.
This woman was ruthless.
Vincent took out his clothes from the wardrobe and turned to see Reese sitting calmly in the chair.
"Reese, can you give me some privacy?"
Isn't she a bit... too... not avoiding?
But thinking about it, it made sense. She had been through a lot, how could she care about such things?
Reese had no intention of leaving, she just turned her back.
"Change."
Vincent twitched at the corner of his eye, suddenly unsure of what to say.
He changed his clothes and helplessly said to Reese, "That's it."
Reese turned around, raised her chin at Vincent, in a boss-like manner.
"Speak."
Vincent sat down, and he had no intention of hiding anything from Reese.
"I asked someone named Aiden Blackwood. He mentioned that the Harmony Alliance is competing for a project recently, afraid that Nolan might get ahead. Aiden found someone to secure resources in advance, wanting to secure this project first."
Reese understood what was going on. Malcolm was probably sent by the Harmony Alliance to secure the project. As long as he made a move, there were hardly any competitors in the industry who could match him. She did her best, though.
In fact, she considered it a bit unfair because she had glanced at the contents of his project yesterday. As the saying goes, knowing oneself and the enemy leads to a hundred victories.
If she hadn't seen the contents of Malcolm's project, she might not have been able to win. She was quite sure of this.
Since it was Aiden, it was very likely that he was either from Nolan's side or an insider in the Harmony Alliance.
Anyway, she had deceived Malcolm, so she might as well take this opportunity to repay him.
She tiptoed and asked Malcolm, "Do you know which side Aiden is on?"
Vincent saw Reese's big round eyes rolling non-stop and knew she was calculating something in her mind. Smart women like her were indeed rare.
Apart from her ruthlessness, Vincent actually admired Reese. He believed that only those with courage could accomplish great things, while those without courage could only talk on paper.
Perhaps it was because he had just taken a shower, Vincent suddenly felt thirsty. He picked up the glass in front of him, took a sip, and said leisurely,
"Reese, you shouldn't think I've become a messenger, knowing everything, right?"
Reese snorted, "Who knows for sure? What are you really thinking? Only you know. Since you can even find out my identity, I believe you should know which side Aiden is on."
Vincent had to admit that Reese was really smart. Not only could she understand what others were thinking, but she could also discern clues from subtle expressions on people's faces.
If someone without mental fortitude was in front of her, they might really have nowhere to hide, feeling insecure.
Especially when Reese's cold, sharp eyes met Vincent's, he always felt like she could see into his heart, uncovering all the secrets.
That was the power of this woman.
Vincent sneered and began to negotiate with Reese.
"Reese, if I tell you, what benefit will it bring you? I almost died at your hands just now."
Reese was not the kind of person you could bargain with, she glanced at Vincent sideways.
"Then I can only tell you, if you don't tell me the truth now, it's very likely that I will make you experience the fear you just felt again. Do you want that?"
Thinking back to the fear of being choked, on the verge of bidding farewell to the world, Vincent couldn't help but shudder.
He raised his hands in surrender.
"Alright, I'll tell you the truth. Aiden is a spy for the Harmony Alliance. I found out accidentally. He's making a fortune by selling Harmony Alliance's information to Nolan's side in exchange for hefty profits. Aiden is swimming in wealth right now."
"So, your information also came from him. If I guess correctly, you probably gave him some money to ensure that he informs you first about any new information in the future, right?"
With Vincent's cunning, he wouldn't miss this excellent opportunity. By getting close to the insider, he could ensure he wouldn't miss any important information in the future.
Although he wasn't good at physical combat, he was quite skilled at playing mind games.
Vincent casually said, "But I'm not an ambitious person. I'm not interested in those organizations. Reese, you don't have to worry that I would be interested in your position in the Flynn Group. I don't want to engage in violence or touch things I shouldn't."
Reese nodded thoughtfully, "Yes, you're not interested in my position in those organizations, but you are interested in the position of Malcolm, the president of the Flynn Group."
