Chapter 451 She Is A Member Of The Flynn Family.
Alexander was particularly polite. "I wouldn't dare. It's just that for a moment, I was caught off guard by Mr. Flynn competing for the project. After all, our two families operate in different business domains, and now we're all crowded into the same. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
Aiden leisurely sipped his coffee and replied nonchalantly, "You know my situation. I no longer have the energy to manage the company's affairs. I handed it over to Malcolm a long time ago."
It was clear he had no intention of dealing with Alexander's request and couldn't give a response.
Alexander also understood Aiden's meaning and felt somewhat displeased, but the Flynn family's power in Atlanta was formidable and couldn't be easily offended.
He proposed a way to balance both parties' interests. "I heard you never liked Reese much. I happen to have a cousin. Would you like to introduce her to Mr. Flynn? My sister, Reese, is indeed too impulsive. I'm afraid she'll cause trouble for the Flynn family in the future. What would we do then?"
Hearing this, Jason was somewhat shocked that Alexander would say such a thing. This was an attempt to push Reese into a corner.
Without the Flynn family's protection, even if Reese could rely on her own abilities to contend with the Hawthorne family. It would still be a pity.
However, Alexander didn't understand Reese's importance to Malcolm, which even Aiden couldn't undermine, let alone be shaken by a few words from Alexander.
But Alexander's words were indeed too arrogant, daring to act so recklessly in front of Aiden, showing no respect at all.
With this attitude, Alexander trying to negotiate with Aiden was bound to be rejected.
Aiden didn't deny it. "You're right. I don't like Reese. That girl is impulsive, hard to discipline, and always has her own ideas. She rarely listens to others with a strong personality, and is too independent. Such a woman doesn't meet the Flynn family's requirements. The Flynn family needs someone mature, steady, and virtuous, someone who can be a wise and capable wife to my grandson, not someone who is busy with her career all the time and barely seen."
Alexander was secretly delighted to hear Aiden's strong opinions about Reese. It seemed his plan was working. If he could successfully persuade Aiden, he would find a way to make Reese leave the Flynn family. Without their support, he didn't believe Reese would remain so indomitable.
The gloom on Alexander's face immediately dissipated, as if he had found common ground with Aiden.
"Mr. Flynn, you are wise. That girl is not suitable for Malcolm. Besides, Reese's background indeed doesn't match Malcolm's," Alexander added.
"Reese doesn't match, but do you?" Suddenly, a crisp female voice rang out in the hall. Alyssa walked in from outside, looking at Alexander with undisguised dislike.
Alyssa sat on a chair and straightforwardly asked Alexander, "You are at least Reese brother. Now you're at her husband's house badmouthing her. Isn't that a bit inhumane? Also, think about it honestly. What has Reese done to wrong the Hawthorne family? From the beginning, it's been your family too afraid, scared someone would take your family's wealth."
"Open your eyes and take a good look. Isn't the Flynn family wealthier than the Hawthorne family? Reese is no simple person. She could hack your Hawthorne Group's system and keep you bedridden for three days. She's the owner of Emerald Isle. If you still think Reese doesn't match my brother, then maybe there's something wrong with your vision and intellect, commonly known as being an idiot!" Alyssa shouted.
"You..." Alexander was dumbfounded.
"Alyssa, don't speak to guests like that!" Aiden said.
Alyssa was filled with rage, fully displaying the Flynn family's domineering traits. Even the usually composed Alexander turned grim.
Alyssa had never believed that love required status. Instead, a sincere relationship between two people was more valuable than any status.
Aiden's anger made Alyssa fall silent, but she had said everything she needed to. If Alexander still didn't get it, he was truly shameless.
Despite his anger, Alexander wouldn't argue with a young girl. His purpose was to persuade Aiden to drive Reese out of the Flynn family.
He could only hold on, but the slight twitching of his facial muscles betrayed him. "Mr. Flynn, please consider what I said. You don't need to worry about the relationship between the Hawthorne family and Reese. Just consider the Flynn family's interests. The rumors about Reese are varied, both good and bad, and some are completely unrelated. This could easily affect your family."
Aiden stroked his chin, looking as if he was seriously considering it. "What you say isn't wrong."
"Grandpa... How can you say that?Reese has been with us for so long. Without her, could my brother's leg have been healed? She's so outstanding and capable. Where will you find such another competent wife for my brother?"
Alyssa felt she was about to explode with anger. How could her grandpa be so ungrateful? He should remember how he begged Reese to heal Malcolm's leg, and now he didn't acknowledge her.
Alexander felt his chance had come. It looked promising. "So, Mr. Flynn, what do you think..."
Aiden put down his cup and slowly stood up. "Although I don't like Reese, she is good to my grandson. Alyssa is right. Without Reese, Malcolm's leg wouldn't have healed. Besides, the Flynn family doesn't need to rely on a woman to prosper."
Alyssa looked at the sudden change in Aiden's attitude with shock and shouted excitedly, "Grandpa..."
Alexander's nearly broken expression finally collapsed. He instinctively stood up. "Are you the Flynn family... mocking me?"
Alyssa smiled smugly. "Who told you to use underhanded methods behind people's backs? You're the CEO of the Hawthorne Group. How can you spend all your time plotting against your sister? As a woman, I disrespect you."
Alexander's face darkened, and the veins on his forehead bulged.
Aiden bluntly told Alexander, "Even if Reese isn't perfect, it's not up to an outsider to criticize her in front of me. Moreover, your family has abandoned your relative and repeatedly framed her. Such behavior is disgraceful. Mr. Hawthorne, let's consider today's matter as you being too impulsive. In the future, please think twice before acting. Jason, see the guest out!"
