Chapter 365 The Predator and Prey
Reese tightly held the documents in her hand, a surge of anger rising in her heart, her lips tight, Malcolm saw the change in Reese's expression and knew that Reese's emotions were starting to get out of control.
She was indifferent in other matters, able to handle them most rationally, but only when it came to her own family.
Malcolm felt sorry for Reese, as this matter was like rubbing salt into her wounds.
The man reached out and held her trembling wrist, Reese seemed to pull back her thoughts, subconsciously looking up at the man, Malcolm's eyes, tender as water, seemed to give her strength.
Malcolm had said that no matter what happened, he would accompany her without hesitation, everyone else might give up on her, but not him.
Seeing Malcolm, Reese's panicked heart seemed to slowly calm down, she took a deep breath.
Reese said, "Thank you, Nolan, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
Just as Reese was about to get up, Nolan asked her again, "I have one more thing I need your help with."
Reese interrupted, "I've said that I've wanted to leave this place a long time ago, you should know, this time it's just because I want to know about my origins."
Reese indirectly refused, even though she couldn't leave immediately now, she didn't want to do anything else for Nolan.
Malcolm also expressed his position, and remarked, "Nolan, as long as I'm here, no one can force my wife to do something she doesn't want to do."
Nolan suddenly laughed, and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Flynn to be so fond of Reese, it's beyond my expectations, but this is an internal matter, I hope Mr. Flynn won't interfere too much."
Both of them refused to back down, for Nolan, Reese was a rare talent, her abilities surpassed everyone here, and for Malcolm, Reese was his wife, if he couldn't even protect his own wife, was Malcolm still fit to her man?
The atmosphere on the scene was so heavy that it was almost suffocating, and the flames of war were about to ignite.
Reese suddenly grabbed Malcolm's hand and turned to Nolan.
Reese said adamantly, "Nolan, as we agreed before, just this once, and now I'm not the same as before, you can't force me to do anything, I don't want to start a war with you, it's not something either of us wants to see."
Nolan was not the kind of person to easily reveal his true colors, this time, Reese had underestimated him.
Nolan provoked her, "Reese, now that you know about your origins, do you not want to know how your grandmother died?"
Reese narrowed her eyes, her calm face immediately becoming serious.
She asked, "You know how my grandmother died?"
Nolan raised his head confidently, laughed, and said, "As long as I want to know, I can find out. But you don't have to agree to my request unless you can find out on your own.
"Yet I have to tell you, the situation is very complicated, and you can't figure it out on your own."
Nolan added, "I know a little information, but more than you do."
Reese was about to speak, but Malcolm held her wrist.
Malcolm interrupted, "Wait a minute."
The man's gaze was sharp, with a hint of coldness in his eyes as he looked at Nolan, his aura faintly visible at this moment.
He directly asked Nolan, "Nolan, even if you're trying to coax someone, this isn't the way to do it."
Nolan replied, "Mr. Flynn, I didn't coax Reese, I never lie, you can investigate those who have worked with me, I have always had fair dealings with them, besides, even if I did lie to Reese, you wouldn't let me off."
Malcolm replied, "You know that's right."
Malcolm accompanied Reese for fear that Nolan would play tricks, Reese could remain calm in other matters, but as soon as it came to her grandmother, all her rationality would vanish.
Nolan didn't insist, he didn't need to, he also wouldn't confront Malcolm head-on, this man had the Flynn Group behind him, and Nolan couldn't easily provoke him.
He said to Reese, "Reese, I won't force you, if you can find out on your own, then do it, if you want clues from me, then you have to help me with one more thing."
It sounded like Nolan was letting Reese make her own choice, but everyone knew that Reese had been investigating for so long and still hadn't found out how her grandmother died, she had originally married Malcolm to avenge her grandmother, and since it wasn't Jason who killed her grandmother, it must be someone else.
Reese had also used her connections to investigate, but to no avail, many people were trying to disrupt her, but none of the information was true.
After a moment of thought, Reese made a decision.
Reese said, "Tell me."
"Reese..." Malcolm spoke up, he didn't want Reese to make a deal with Nolan, once it started, Reese would always be used as a tool.
He just wanted Reese to live a peaceful life.
At this moment, Reese was very calm, she said to Malcolm very seriously.
Reese said, "No matter the cost, I must find out how my grandmother died."
No one could stop her.
Malcolm saw the determination in Reese's eyes, knowing that he couldn't persuade her, he knew Reese's temperament too well, once she made a decision, no external factors could shake her.
This was her strength, but also her weakness.
He remained silent.
Reese knew he had given up trying to persuade her, so she turned to Nolan.
Reese asked, "What do you want me to do, tell me."
Nolan insisted, "I want you to promise me to stay in the organization for another year."
"What did you say!" Reese was surprised, was Nolan crazy? "You know I don't want to stay in the organization anymore, and now you're making this request to me."
Nolan explained, "You also know that things are turbulent now, we've had a lot of trouble with Harmony Alliance, you are my right-hand man here, they dare not act rashly because of you, they fear your strength.
"But if you leave the organization now, Harmony Alliance will definitely take advantage of it, and then all the hard work I've put in will be destroyed overnight."
There was one more thing he didn't say, and that was about Reese's true identity, she was the daughter of the Hawthorne family, the current Reese was like a treasure that everyone wanted to seize.
If he could control her, what was there to fear from Harmony Alliance, even if ten Harmony Alliances came, Nolan wouldn't be afraid.
And Nolan had received information that Giedon wanted her to go over to their side, although he couldn't guarantee that Reese would go, he also had to plan an exit strategy.
If in the end, he couldn't keep Reese, he still had to make sure she played the biggest role possible.
