Chapter 367 I'm Your Mom
Justin knocked on the door, and said, "Mr. Flynn, I'm waiting for you in the study."
Malcolm said to Reese, "It seems Justin has found out, let's go to the study."
"Okay." Reese lacked the courage to know the truth, she just thought of her mother's situation and couldn't bear it.
The two went to the study, and Justin handed over the information.
Justin reported, "The Hawthorne family now has three sons, all born to Ms. Hawthorne, this is her information."
Justin was good at understanding people, he knew that at this moment, Reese must want to know about Ms. Hawthorne's information.
Reese took it and opened it.
Ms. Hawthorne, fifty years old, is the daughter of a famous gambling king in Atlanta. Their family used to operate a maritime business.
In recent years, the business has been thriving, and Mr. Hawthorne has also relied on Ms. Hawthorne's family to achieve what they have today.
Reese looked at the introduction above, this woman gave her an intuition.
She's not an easy woman to deal with.
Justin added, "Mr. Hawthorne, Reese's biological father, has also been with many women in recent years, but they were all taken care of by Ms. Hawthorne. Last year, a woman almost replaced her.
"I don't know what means Ms. Hawthorne used, that woman disappeared overnight, and the Hawthorne family also experienced a great turmoil during that time."
Justin continued, "Afterwards, the Hawthorne family returned to normal. We suspect that this woman may have been hidden by Ms. Hawthorne."
Reese sneered, "What's there to hide, maybe she's not even in this world anymore. Don't underestimate these women in wealthy families, their methods are no worse than men's. That woman almost took Ms. Hawthorne's place, which is a threat to Ms. Hawthorne. Who would let a ticking time bomb stay by their side?"
Especially someone like Ms. Hawthorne, she wouldn't allow such a woman to threaten her.
Malcolm saw Reese's emotions slowly returning and even saw the excitement in Reese's eyes.
He crossed his arms and looked at his wife, and asked, "Are you suggesting to make contact?"
Reese raised an eyebrow with a smile, saying, "Isn't that a normal thing to do?"
If Reese didn't make contact with the woman who caused her mother's death, she wouldn't be Reese.
Malcolm wasn't afraid of Reese causing trouble, he was afraid that she would endure everything silently, which was what he worried about the most.
Malcolm was increasingly looking forward to what surprises Reese would bring him.
Malcolm replied, "Well, let's investigate the matter thoroughly first, and then take action. That's the best approach."
Reese asked Justin, "Anything else?"
Justin continued, "The Hawthorne family's sons, the eldest one is very smart in business and may inherit the family business in the future.
"The second son has achieved great success in the medical field abroad but is not very famous domestically.
"As for the youngest, he's a second-generation rich kid, indulging in bars every day, especially fond of cars."
Reese found these brothers quite interesting.
She said, "If he's well-known in the medical field, I should have heard of him. As for the one who likes cars, I'll meet him when the time comes."
Justin twitched at the corner of his eye and relieved, he felt Reese's fighting spirit returning.
Reese had almost gathered all the information she needed, and she felt more confident.
At that moment, Reese's phone vibrated, she glanced at it, it was a call from Lucius Grayson, whom she had met during her racing days. He was cheeky but had a good personality.
Always following her, Reese had a good impression of Lucius.
She slid the prompt to answer, "Hello, Lucius."
He said, "Reese, help me." Lucius's cry for help came from the other end.
Reese asked, "What's wrong?"
Reese was still friendly to Lucius, as he was young, only twenty years old, but he was decent and had a sense of loyalty.
Lucius informed, "Someone suddenly took over our territory here and wants us to leave. None of us here can beat him. Reese, only you can handle this, otherwise, we might have to move elsewhere."
Reese originally didn't want to get involved in this matter, as she had many troubles of her own recently. However, the place was chosen by her in the first place and she liked it.
She used to go there often for racing but hadn't been there lately.
Lucius knew that Reese liked the place very much, which was why he dared to make this call. He also knew that Reese wasn't keen on helping others, but when it came to things or people she cared about, she would take action.
After a moment of thought, Reese spoke up.
Reese instructed, "Make an appointment with him."
Lucius exclaimed happily on the phone, "Reese, you agreed."
Reese replied, "Well, it's been a while since I had some fun."
She wanted to relax and see how skilled the person was in driving. Although she didn't consider Lucius's team to be top-notch, they weren't pushovers either.
As soon as Lucius heard that Reese was going, he felt like he had found a lifeline.
Lucius replied, "Thank you, Reese. With you on board, our chances of winning are high."
Lucius had seen Reese's amazing driving skills. He had never seen a girl drive so well.
Reese said, "All right, just message me when the time comes."
"Got it," Lucius replied and was ecstatic.
After ending the call, Reese was about to turn around when she bumped into Malcolm coming towards her.
Malcolm asked, "So, are you planning to show off your driving skills?"
Reese explained, "Um... my friend seems to have some trouble over there. Someone wants to challenge them for their territory, but I quite like that place."
In the end, Reese just wanted to go.
Malcolm never interfered in Reese's life. Whatever she wanted to do, he wouldn't oppose. If she didn't want him to accompany her, he would just remind her of safety issues.
If she wanted him to come along, no matter how important his work was the next day, he would cancel it.
Malcolm said, "Well, I have one request, take me with you."
Reese was surprised, and asked, "You want to go too?"
Malcolm replied, "I want to admire your driving skills, can't I?"
Malcolm wanted to penetrate her circle from the outside, not just stay on the surface, understanding only the superficial aspects of Reese.
Reese knew that Malcolm also had some knowledge about cars, so she agreed.
She said, "Then wait for Lucius to message me, and we'll go together."
Malcolm agreed, "No problem, finally, I have the chance to appreciate your driving skills."
Malcolm looked up to Reese.
Reese knew Malcolm was teasing her, and said, "Just shut up."
Lucius quickly sent a message to Reese, setting the time for the next morning at Mount Celestia, a great place for racing but with a high geographical location and challenging twists and turns.
After reading it, Reese became even more interested in the person. It seemed that he had some skills to dare to choose this location.
Seeing Reese's growing interest, Malcolm knew that the only way to adjust her mood was to find something she enjoyed doing.
Early in the morning, Reese went to Mount Celestia with Malcolm. Reese drove while Malcolm sat in the passenger seat, navigating through the twists and turns until they arrived.
Fortunately, Reese's skills were excellent, otherwise Malcolm might not have been able to handle the drive.
When they arrived, there were already many people gathered, making a lot of noise.
Somebody claimed, "This is our territory, why should we give in just because you're rich?"
A man scoffed, "Just because I'm Sebastian Hawthorne."
When Reese heard the name Sebastian Hawthorne, her cold eyes narrowed slightly, and she exchanged a glance with Malcolm.
Isn't Sebastian Hawthorne the youngest son of the Hawthorne family? Unexpectedly, it was him.
Someone rebutted, "So, what if you're Sebastian? Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you're rich?"
The young master was very arrogant and his attitude was extremely domineering.
Sebastian retorted, "If you have the ability, then bring out the money to compete."
Lucius was at a loss for words to say, "You..."
Reese interjected, and asked, "Are you Sebastian?"
Lucius was infuriated by this rich kid's arrogance, and Reese suddenly walked up to him and asked directly.
Sebastian looked Reese up and down, casually stroking his chin.
Sebastian said arrogantly, "I am Sebastian, who are you?"
Reese taunted, "I'm your mom."
Sebastian was flabbergasted.
