Chapter 407 Overturned
"I..." Reese didn't know. Her mind was in a mess right now. On the one hand, she felt that her grandmother might really not want her to make such a sacrifice, but on the other hand, Reese urgently wanted to know the cause of her grandmother's death.
Reese had been investigating it for so long. The reason she initially entered the Flynn family was because someone from the Flynn family had caused her grandmother's death. She then married Malcolm, not expecting to gain a relationship, which was probably a gift from heaven to her.
However, to Reese's regret, the matter regarding her grandmother remained unclear.
Malcolm could see that Reese was unable to make a decision right now. Since she couldn't decide, he would do it for her.
Malcolm turned to Nolan and said, "Mr. Dixon, Reese will not take the offer. We will investigate the cause of her grandmother's death ourselves, and she won't return to your place."
Nolan coldly chuckled. "That might not be so easy."
"Whether it's easy or not is not for you to decide." Malcolm did not relent.
The tension between the two sides was high, and neither was willing to back down. Malcolm didn't want to hand over people, and Nolan didn't want to let them go.
Nolan snorted angrily. "But you have to be able to walk out of here today."
At that moment, a large group of people rushed in from outside and surrounded them.
Reese frowned at Malcolm, her eyes showing a hint of anger as she looked at Nolan.
"Mr. Dixon, what do you mean by this?"
Nolan stood up from his chair, his expression changing as well.
"You should ask Mr. Flynn what he means. Our internal affairs have nothing to do with this outsider, Reese. You'd better think it over and not end up implicating others."
Reese sneered coldly, but there was no fear in her eyes.
"Mr. Dixon, I've been here for a while. I think you should know my character. I've always been more inclined to reason than force. If you insist on this, then we'll just have to take on you to the end. But I must remind you, your people here may not be a match for us."
Reese wasn't joking with Nolan. If she were alone, she might not be so sure, but with Malcolm by her side, Reese felt that her chances of winning were quite high.
But Nolan was also full of confidence. "Then you can try, but the premise is that you can find out the cause of your grandmother's death on your own."
Reese narrowed her eyes, a sharp light flashing in them.
"If this organization disappears, wouldn't it naturally lead to finding out my grandmother's cause of death?"
Reese hated being threatened the most in her life, especially by someone as brazen as Nolan. Her hatred for him made her inherent rebelliousness gradually come to the surface.
Nolan, however, didn't believe it. "You've gotten bold since you've left."
"Let's see what the future holds." Reese didn't bother with idle talk with Nolan. She just jumped up and delivered a spinning kick, knocking down the people in front of her.
Both sides started to fight, the scene becoming extremely chaotic. Even though Reese and Malcolm's skills were extraordinary, their physical strength couldn't hold up.
There were some scratches on their bodies, but both of them had strong willpower.
Malcolm also kept an eye on Reese's movements while engaging with others, noticing someone attempting to attack his wife.
Malcolm shouted, "Honey, watch behind you."
Reese caught a glimpse of the opponent holding a sharp knife about to stab her. She slightly leaned to the side, and Malcolm, supporting himself on the shoulder of a nearby person, jumped up and kicked toward the person.
Nolan sat calmly in his chair, holding a teacup, despite watching his subordinates being knocked down one by one.
He remained composed and even instructed Hugo beside him. "Go call a few more men. I want to see how capable they are."
Hugo was in high spirits at the moment. "Right away."
Soon, both Reese and Malcolm were exhausted. Although these people's skills were not exceptional, they were overwhelmed by the sheer numbers.
Just as Reese and Malcolm were about to be captured, a commotion outside caught their attention as someone rushed in.
"Mr. Dixon, something's wrong."
Nolan stood up. "What's the rush? Take it easy. What's going on?"
"Members of the Harmony Alliance have arrived."
"What?" Nolan was surprised. How could members of the Harmony Alliance show up here?
"They've already broken in, and we can't stop them."
As soon as his subordinate finished speaking, members of the Harmony Alliance swarmed in, surrounding Nolan's group, led by Gideon.
Nolan was puzzled as to why Gideon would come with the Harmony Alliance at this time. Could it be that they had already lured Reese away?
However, Nolan thought it unlikely, as Reese had not visited the Harmony Alliance recently, and she had no intention of joining their organization, let alone going to Gideon's side.
Job hopping in their line of work was a taboo, as the boss there wouldn't trust you. Once you were lured away, who could guarantee that you wouldn't be lured away again in the future?
And returning to the previous place wouldn't be easy.
Before Nolan could make sense of the situation, Gideon approached.
"Mr. Dixon, it seems you're having internal conflicts here. I remember not long ago, you had Reese come to our Harmony Alliance. Now that she's done you a favor, you've turned your back on he.?"
Nolan and the Harmony Alliance had always been at odds over business, and every meeting ended in an argument.
Nolan sensed Gideon's sarcasm and didn't give him a friendly look.
"This has nothing to do with you."
"How does it not concern me? I have my eye on Reese, and I wanted her to come work for me. But Mr. Dixon's current behavior suits me just fine. If you drive her away, she might just be willing to come to me."
Gideon seemed to be siding with Reese, but not for her sake. He admired Reese, but he wasn't causing such a commotion just for her.
Nolan could act against Reese but not against Gideon's relative.
"Dream on. These two have violated my rules today. If they want to walk away, they'll have to pay a price. Besides, what kind of person are you looking for? Does it have to be Reese? Don't say I didn't warn you. She's not easy to handle. Be careful not to cause trouble in the future."
Reese was difficult to deal with and not easily subdued by ordinary means, especially with her unpredictable temper and stubbornness. Persuading her was not easy, as she was too firm in her stance.
Gideon's intentions were not focused on this, so he paid no heed to what Nolan said.
"I see that you won't back down," Gideon said. "Most of your people here have been taken down by the two of them, but I have quite a few people on my side, so it doesn't matter."
It sounded like they want to take advantage of the situation.
