Chapter 361 I'll Go with You
Even though Shirley didn't know what Reese was thinking, as a cunning person like her, how could she easily let go of the opportunity to deal with the Flynn family, Mrs. Flynn?
Shirley remarked, "Don't you understand this yet? Malcolm is very popular among women. In the whole of Atlanta, those young ladies who like Malcolm, from the east to the west of the city don't hold a candle to her, is Reese truly as wealthy as the Flynn family?
"Human desires are the strongest. Reese now wants the Flynn family to be her stepping stone, to climb higher and higher."
Shirley added, "After all, her identity as the major shareholder of The Brooks Group is all because of Malcolm, right? Without Malcolm, would Reese have what she has today?"
It's false to say that women don't rely on men.
In this world, how many women can truly not rely on men?
When Natalie heard that Reese had such a big secret, she felt even more unsettled. Why, as women themselves, did she not have the same luck as Reese, even though she wasn't lacking in looks?
It was not easy for her to enter the Flynn Group. Back then, in order to join the Flynn Group, she paid a huge price just to have a stable job.
Now, all because of Reese, it was all in vain. Natalie was even kicked out of the company by Reese.
Natalie couldn't swallow this grievance no matter what.
Natalie asked, "Can't we find a way to vent this frustration, Miss Shirley? I know, if it weren't for her, you wouldn't have ended up like this.
"Without Reese, you would still be the respected Miss Sawyer's Family, enjoying delicacies, wearing designer clothes, and carrying designer bags as you please.
"Now, because of this woman who suddenly appeared, your life has turned upside down. Can you bear it?"
Shirley slammed her hand on the table, furious.
Shirley said angrily, "Of course, I can't bear it! If it weren't for her, could I have fallen to this point today?"
But this Reese was like an impregnable fortress. No matter what they tried, they couldn't shake her, especially since Reese had Malcolm behind her.
Now, that woman was Malcolm's treasure.
Natalie had an idea in mind, and suggested, "Miss Shirley, think about it carefully. What is most important for a woman? Isn't it her reputation? No matter how capable Reese is, it's something that can be easily dealt with.
"Besides, even if Reese faints, she won't be able to resist. Our goal is to capture the entire process on video, so we can threaten her later."
Shirley immediately found this idea very useful, her eyes shining with excitement.
Shirley said, "You're right. Even if Reese is strong, a simple drug can solve it. When she's clueless, we can manipulate her as we please. As long as we have her video in hand, she won't be able to resist."
By then, whatever Shirley said, that woman would have to obey.
Seeing Shirley interested, Natalie felt a sense of satisfaction. Finally, someone was helping her deal with Reese.
Natalie said, "Well, Miss Shirley, when it comes to this matter, perhaps only you can come up with a solution.
"As for money, you know I can't provide it, but I can help in other ways. If there's anything you need me to do, just command me. We are on the same side now."
Shirley cast a disdainful glance at Natalie. She said, "I don't expect you to provide any money. But the fact that you came up with this idea is already good enough."
Shirley was struggling to find an opportunity to deal with Reese.
Natalie had to hurry back as she needed to find a job quickly, or she might not even afford a meal.
Natalie also wanted Shirley to quickly arrange this matter so they could threaten Reese and get Harrison to withdraw the lawsuit.
Natalie remarked, "Well, since that's settled, if there's anything you need help with, Miss Shirley, just give the order."
Natalie couldn't really help much, but without her advice, Shirley might not have come up with such a good plan.
After the two left, Shirley couldn't find anyone else. Planning these things required money, which she didn't have. Her only option was to find that person.
After Reese returned home from work and took a shower, she happened to run into Malcolm coming back. The two locked eyes, and for some reason, an unexpected awkwardness arose, even Reese didn't know why she felt awkward.
Thinking of Harrison's matter, Malcolm couldn't help but smile. He approached Reese and pinned her against the wall, his warm fingertips lightly touching her cheek.
Malcolm said, "Honey..."
Malcolm's voice was meaningful, especially the last word, sounding flirtatious. Reese, lacking experience in this area, found it hard to resist.
But Malcolm's gaze told her that this man had ulterior motives.
She suppressed the flutter in her heart and looked at him seriously.
Reese asked, "What do you want to do?"
Malcolm's deep eyes scanned Reese up and down.
He said, "I didn't expect you to be involved in the legal field. Should I start calling you 'Lawyer Reese' from now on?"
Reese's heart skipped a beat. This was something she hadn't anticipated.
She had thought that Harrison's matter might reach Malcolm's ears, but she hadn't expected him to investigate her because of a lawyer.
Reese hadn't deliberately hidden this identity.
But now that it was known, she couldn't continue to conceal it.
Reese replied, "In fact, I can't really be considered a qualified lawyer. It's just that when I started my company, I was afraid of getting into trouble and couldn't trust others, so I had to learn on my own."
Reese spoke lightly, but Malcolm found it somewhat amusing.
Malcolm said, "Honey, can't you stop being so modest? Sometimes you can be more high-profile. Harrison is already a prominent figure in the circle, but you are even more formidable. Harrison is your disciple, no wonder he treats you with such respect."
Reese replied, "It's not a big deal. When I first met Harrison, I just thought this kid was too hardworking. His determination made me feel a bit inferior. I always thought I was quite daring, but he surpassed me.
"Since I'm not in this profession, I just learned a bit to teach him. But he really lived up to expectations and has become a pillar in the legal world."
She added, "After gaining fame, he is quite grateful. He wanted to repay me, but I didn't really need his help. He offered to be my lawyer, so if there are any issues in the future, I just need to make a call, and he will come running no matter how far."
Malcolm gave Reese a thumbs up.
He remarked, "It seems like Natalie is digging her own grave."
Reese retorted, "Your female employees at the company are always complaining, unable to stand it when others are slightly better off than them."
Reese had already been merciful enough.
Malcolm patted her back lightly, his tone indulgent.
He said, "All right, all right, you've been wronged. In the future, you don't have to handle such matters personally. I'll take care of it. But tomorrow, do you need to see Nolan? I'll accompany you."
He was afraid that when Reese found out the truth, she wouldn't be able to handle it. If he could be by her side at that moment, would it make things easier for her?
