The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride
Chapter 179 Mia's Curiosity Got the Better of Her

The police took a quick look around the bathroom, then checked behind the curtain, confirming that she was indeed alone in the room. "Where did that man go? If you don't come clean, we'll take you in for questioning," one officer demanded.

Mia shook her head. "There's no one here, just me."

At that moment, someone noticed an opened condom wrapper in the trash can, making Mia feel embarrassed. "What's this?" the officer asked sternly, pointing at the item in the trash.

Mia, trembling and stammering, replied, "If I say I just opened it out of curiosity, would you believe me?"

Her stammering only made the police more suspicious. However, since she was alone in the room, they thought the man might have already escaped. "Close the door," the officer instructed the policeman at the entrance.

They were preparing to interrogate Mia.

Seeing that she was about to face five or six male officers alone, Mia burst into tears.

"I really didn't do anything. These clothes belong to my brother."

Knowing they wouldn't believe her, Mia reached for her phone to call Sebastian.

However, her phone was confiscated.

"You have no right to take my phone! I need to call my brother to prove my innocence," she protested.

Sebastian, who was showering, received a call from Mia next door. "What happened?" he asked.

"Sebastian, I'm in trouble again," Mia replied.

Hearing this, Sebastian quickly stepped out of the bathroom, not even bothering to dry off, and threw on his pajamas before heading out. Soon, there was a knock on the door.

When the door opened, Sebastian walked in, his hair still dripping wet. "Hello, I'm Sebastian, the captain of the Zandonick Police Department." "Sebastian? Is that really you?" someone in the crowd recognized him. Sebastian turned towards the voice. "Dominic!"

Sebastian had run into an old classmate.

Since they were acquaintances, things became easier to handle.

Sebastian's identity was confirmed without needing to show any credentials; everyone knew he was the captain from Silverwood City. Meanwhile, Mia was in tears from frustration.

Sebastian pointed at the opened condom wrapper in the trash and demanded, "What is this?" His anger was even more intense than the officers' earlier.

Mia explained, "I was just bored. I found it in the drawer and was curious about how it worked, so I opened it. Sebastian, I was really just curious." Sebastian raised his hand, ready to hit Mia out of anger.

She had just told a room full of men that she was curious about how a condom worked!

Mia, frightened, stepped aside.

"I didn't expect to run into a raid. You left your jacket here, making me look suspicious," she said.

Sebastian, still furious, was about to hit her when one of her classmates intervened. "Mia is young. Let's not get angry. Luckily, nothing serious happened." Thanks to Mia's curiosity, she had successfully made a lasting impression on Sebastian's colleagues.

She also realized how embarrassing the situation was.

"Sebastian, when are you going back home? If it's convenient, could you help us with a case we're stuck on?" Dominic asked.

Sebastian nodded. "You guys continue your inspection. I'll change clothes and go with you to the station."

Mia, feeling deflated, knew Sebastian was heading to the police station. She quickly changed her clothes and stood obediently by the door.

"Why are you all dressed up?" Sebastian, still angry, asked.

Mia clung to Sebastian's arm. "Sebastian, I want to go to the police station with you."

"Are you going to embarrass yourself even more?"

Mia lowered her head, not daring to talk back. However, Sebastian was also uneasy about leaving her alone in the hotel. So, he grabbed her and took her to the police station.

"You sit here and don't move. If you need to drink water or go to the bathroom, report to me first," Sebastian instructed.

As soon as he finished speaking, Mia immediately said, "Roger."

Sebastian gritted his teeth. "What?"

"Sebastian, I need to go to the bathroom."

Sebastian, following the directions of other officers, dragged her to the restroom and stood guard at the door.

The officers outside stifled their laughter.

"Mr. Chase is going to be driven mad."

"Having a sister like her, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse."

"Good thing she's his sister. If she were his girlfriend, he'd be furious!"

Those who hadn't participated in the vice raid were curious. "What happened?"

The men who knew the story just smirked but didn't say anything, their faces full of amusement.

Mia was dragged back to her original spot. She sat down obediently and promised Sebastian earnestly, "Sebastian, I swear, I promise, I'll report everything to you. I won't go anywhere, just play on my phone here." Sebastian pointed his index finger at her as a warning.

Then he went inside for a meeting.

At that moment, Vera started chatting with Mia.

Far away in Zandonick, Vera sat on her bed, shocked by Mia's antics. "Mia, what were you thinking? Why are you curious about condoms?"

Mia chatted with her friend, "I found it while looking for the remote. I was curious and wanted to see what it was. Who knew I'd be so unlucky to run into anti-vice crackdown right after taking a shower?" Vera replied, "Give me a few numbers. I'll buy a lottery ticket for you tomorrow. With your luck, if you don't win the jackpot, I'll smash the lottery store."

As they continued chatting, Patrick came out of the bathroom.

Vera kept talking with Mia.

When Patrick got back into bed, Vera didn't even notice.

Later, Mia asked, "Your husband is home today. Shouldn't you be sticking to him? How do you have time to chat with me?"

A voice drifted into Vera's ear. "She sticks to me plenty, but not at crucial moments."

Startled, Vera almost dropped her phone. She turned to see Patrick eavesdropping on her conversation. "When did you get into bed?" "Is that Mia?" Patrick asked.

Vera nodded.

Patrick's gaze fell to Vera's lips and then lower.

Sensing a hint of danger, Vera quickly closed her phone, dove under the covers, and pulled the blanket over her head. "Honey, let's sleep." Patrick chuckled softly, lying down and letting Vera rest her head on his arm.

"Vera, how long are we going to keep dating?"

Vera's even breathing indicated she had already fallen asleep.

With Patrick by her side, she was used to falling asleep quickly.

Patrick glanced at the sleeping Vera, who not only rested her head on his arm but also clutched his hand. He laughed quietly.

The next day.

As Patrick was leaving, he saw Randall downstairs. "Get up here."

Randall, knowing he was in trouble, shrugged and went upstairs.

In Patrick's study, before Patrick could say anything, Randall confessed.

"The house you locked me in was hit by me. Vera wasn't in the car."

Patrick snorted. "You planned this in high school and only acted on it in college? So timid."
