Chapter 372 The Sky is Falling with Honey
Sebastian was seen through by Reese in this way, and he suddenly felt a bit embarrassed, especially in front of so many people.
His face stiffened, but he quickly returned to normal, cleared his throat, and suddenly shouted to the person behind him.
"Call her sister Reese."
"Sister Reese."
The people behind him echoed in unison, which stunned Reese. The passers-by next to them thought a princess had appeared and stood aside to watch the show.
Reese hated this kind of high-profile behavior, especially led by Sebastian, she retorted without any politeness.
"Who is your sister, the young master of the Hawthorne family? We are not relatives."
Sebastian replied seriously, "I didn't claim randomly, my dad has told me, you are my sister, a true and close sister, he asked me to bring you back."
Reese didn't hear this, she just thought Sebastian was being temperamental and trying to cause trouble, but now it seems that Sebastian not only wants to cause trouble, but also wants to take her away by force.
In an instant, her aura enveloped everyone here. Her eyes cold and challenging, she showed no sign of the calmness she had just experienced, even with a hint of chilling hostility.
"Are the Hawthorne family joking? It was you who abandoned me first, and now you want to bring me back, treating me like an object? Throw away and reclaim me freely."
Is Reese the kind of person who could be bullied?
Sebastian felt a bit scared seeing Reese getting angry, especially with the look in Reese's eyes just now, which was so similar to Stephen's.
But in order to learn driving skills and complete the task assigned by Stephen, he decided to use the family's affection with Reese and, if necessary, resort to a tougher approach.
With so many people around, Reese couldn't possibly fight against ten people by herself, and even with Malcolm, the two of them couldn't beat twenty people, no way.
He tried to persuade Reese. "Reese, Dad was probably forced back then. He may have some untold secrets. If you have any doubts, you can come back with me now and ask him face to face. We can resolve misunderstandings. After all, we are family, right?"
"The young master of the Hawthorne family, don't stand here talking nonsense. Even if you talk until you're hoarse, I won't go back to the Hawthorne family with you. I never thought of having any further contact with your family. Since all these years, you all acted as if I didn't exist, I hope in the future we will have no contact with each other, otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."
After saying what she had to say, Reese pulled Malcolm and turned to leave.
Sebastian didn't expect Reese to be so determined. At first, he thought things would go smoothly. After all, the Hawthorne family had a certain status. Would a normal person refuse such an olive branch?
"Please think about it, if you return to the Hawthorne family, you'll have everything you need, I know your previous foster father didn't care for you, after all, he wasn't your real father, but we are different, we are your family."
Sebastian didn't finish his words before Reese's spinning kick swept towards his face, the movement so fast that even Sebastian couldn't see clearly, and he found himself on the ground.
"Young master."
"Young master, are you okay?"
"Hurry, help me!" Sebastian lay on the ground in a terrible state, his face stinging, he subconsciously touched his face, pointed at Reese, feeling embarrassed and angry.
"How dare you? If you don't want to come back, just say so. Why resort to violence? I'm your brother!"
Reese's face was icy, devoid of any emotion, as cold as an ice cellar, enough to freeze everyone.
Reese glanced at Sebastian coldly. "I have no relation to you nor the Hawthorne family. Don't falsely claim relatives with me."
Sebastian wanted to step forward but was stopped by Malcolm, his brows furrowed and his eyes filled with anger and determination.
"Sebastian, if the Hawthorne family doesn't want to become enemies with the Flynn Group, you and your people should leave immediately!"
Sebastian, always thick-skinned, smiled broadly upon seeing Malcolm.
"Hello, we are all family. Why bother? Could you please persuade my sister, or if she doesn't want to go back, could you ask her to teach me driving skills?"
Leonard, watching Sebastian's shameless behavior, felt that the Hawthorne family's reputation was being tarnished by Sebastian.
Sebastian, just to learn others' driving skills, was he really this humble? He didn't speak like this before leaving.
Mr. Hawthorne really sent the wrong person, and it was clear that they were here to cause trouble.
Malcolm couldn't be bothered with Sebastian, if honey didn't agree, how could he agree privately? Malcolm naturally respected honey's wishes.
"If you don't want to make a fool of yourself, I advise you to leave now."
But Sebastian wasn't the type to give up easily, especially when Malcolm advised him like that. He became even more unwilling to back down.
Sebastian rolled up his sleeves. "I don't believe it today. Will you come back with me or not?"
Reese never succumbed to threats from anyone.
"The same words, I won't repeat."
"Then don't blame me for being impolite," Sebastian ordered the people behind him. "Take her back!"
"Yes."
Everyone rushed towards them. Reese's eyes sharpened. She swiftly executed a shoulder throw on the person charging at her, then smoothly turned around and delivered a kick to another attacker.
Malcolm's actions were even faster than Reese's. Taking down five people was no problem for him. In a few minutes, Sebastian heard cries of pain all around him.
Sebastian was shocked by the scene before him, and he couldn't believe it.
Were these people monsters? Or were the people Stephen found for him useless? A dozen or twenty people couldn't even match them. What was going on?
Sebastian had heard Stephen say that this woman was extraordinary, but he didn't expect her to be this powerful. What kind of skill was this, he didn't even blink, and he saw all these people lying on the ground.
Malcolm adjusted his shirt cuffs, his handsome face calm and composed, not a drop of sweat on him.
Malcolm raised his chin towards Sebastian. "You're the only one left. Are you going to fight?"
"I'm not stupid, I'm no match for either of you. If I fight, I'd be a fool." Sebastian sneered.
Malcolm clapped his hands as if he had just stretched his limbs.
"Then we'll leave first, in the future, don't look for these ragtag bunch again."
After saying that, Malcolm hugged Reese and left directly, his contemptuous tone almost infuriating Sebastian.
He glanced at the people sprawled on the ground.
"Why don't you hurry back and stop embarrassing yourselves."
Disturbed by Sebastian, Reese and Malcolm lost their appetite for Boston lobster. They sat in the car, and Malcolm handed her a bottle of water.
"Take a few sips first."
Reese took it and drank a few sips, "It seems Stephen already knows about my existence. He just wants me to go back now. Is he dreaming? Doesn't he remember how I left the Hawthorne family at that time? Now that Stephen sees I'm alive and well, he wants me back."
Just listening to Sebastian's words made Reese find it somewhat amusing.
Malcolm's expression turned serious. "The current situation is, why does Stephen want you back? He couldn't have just found out you're his daughter. As soon as Nolan found out about your identity, he immediately sent Sebastian to bring you back. Stephen even had Sebastian bring so many people that he probably guessed your temperament. You won't easily give in."
Speaking of Stephen, Reese felt nothing but disgust.
"A person like him values profit above all else. How could he possibly want me to come home? There must be something beneficial to him, and he wants to use me."
Malcolm knew that Reese's emotions at the moment were not just annoyance but also disappointment, especially after Stephen found out she was his daughter. He could still hurt her like this.
Malcolm held Reese's hand. "As long as you don't want to, no one can force you."
This time, Reese looked at Malcolm seriously, her eyebrows furrowed tightly. She was devoid of her usual indifference and false strength, only a sense of desolation and helplessness.
"Honey, I don't want to go back to the Hawthorne family. I don't want any involvement with them."
