The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride
Chapter 267 The Deceived Shawn

Molly sat in the living room, waiting for Timothy and Ellie to take turns criticizing her and restricting her actions.

Randall hadn't come home either; he and Vincent were out dining with Cindy, having a small family gathering and enjoying some delicious food. Vincent and Randall took great care of Cindy, giving her all the meat that was served.

This made Cindy feel that all the hardships of her past life were just paving the way for her future happiness.

Randall told Vincent and Cindy about the Wallace family planning to sue them. "But Vera tore up the lawsuit, and Mia smashed all the valuables at home. The $10,000 you gave last time is still at the police station. They probably won't have money for medical bills and will call you."

Vincent said to Cindy, "Cindy, don't worry about the Wallace family. If they want to block me at the government building, let them do. Don't be afraid. I haven't done anything wrong, so I'm not afraid of an investigation." Randall said while eating, "Exactly. Mom, you're not as clear-headed as Vera and Molly. They both know your weakness is that you care too much about Dad and me. As long as they threaten you with Dad's career and my future, you'll give in immediately."

"This weakness has been discovered by Dylan and Joe, and they'll keep blackmailing you for money. If you really give them the courage to cause a scene at the government building, let's see if they dare to go."

"Even if they do, it's no big deal. Every family has its troubles. Even if they sue, they won't win. Anyway, the three of us are on vacation now, so let them make a fuss with banners. As long as they're healthy enough, they won't be afraid of getting beaten again."

The restaurant was steaming, with condensation on the windows. The hall was full of people, and some were paying at the cashier.

Vincent, Cindy, and Randall sat by the window, eating without their coats.

Cindy looked at Vincent and Randall across from her and said, "You kids speak without thinking. If they shamelessly go to the government building, it will affect your father and you to some extent." Randall replied, "It's fine. Dylan and Joe can't stir up much trouble; they won't make a big scene."

Vincent wanted to hear more from Randall. "Why do you say that?"

"Because they're broke and afraid of dying. They've squandered all the family's money, and no one wants to mess around with them without money."

Vincent patted Randall on the back, looking at him. He wondered how he had grown up so quickly and become so clever.

In the end, only Randall returned home full and satisfied, without being criticized or educated.

Vera had already been educated, and Molly was currently being educated.

There was still one person on the run, who had Tom bring his dinner to the bedroom.

Coincidentally, the man bringing food for Shawn was Patrick.

Patrick carried the plate with one hand to Shawn's bedroom.

Shawn immediately sat up straight. "I want Tom; you get out."

Patrick placed the food on the table and sat across from Shawn, asking, "Feeling guilty?"

Shawn turned his face away, not looking at Patrick.

Sometimes Shawn would reflect on why he was always overpowered by Patrick, but it always ended with no conclusion.

At the door, Vera quietly approached Shawn's bedroom, bent down, and pressed her ear to the door, trying to hear what was going on inside. "It's so weird;, why can't I hear anything?"

Inside, Patrick said to Shawn, "Vera has been caught twice already. If she gets caught again, she won't be able to get bail. Do you understand what I mean?"

Shawn innocently replied, "But Molly assured me last night that everything would be fine today. I didn't expect anything to go wrong, right?"

Patrick said, "Last night, the three kids were teaming up to trick you."

Shawn exclaimed, "How rebellious!"

Shawn realized belatedly that last night's card game was a trap set for him! It made him furious.

After all, it was Shawn, so Patrick couldn't scold him like he did Vera. He delivered the food to Shawn and then left.

When he opened the door, Vera immediately threw herself into Patrick's arms.

Patrick caught Vera, who had thrown herself at him. "What did you overhear?" Vera shook her head and complained, "Your doors are too good, too soundproof."

Shawn saw the smooth-talking Vera and pointed at her, saying, "You are so ungrateful."

Vera tilted her head, looking at Shawn eating through the gap. "Shawn, I'll treat you to a meal another day to make up for it." Vera suddenly became respectful again.

In the evening, after taking a bath, Vera asked Molly, "What's the punishment?"

"Three days of not going out. What about you?"

"I'm innocent now."

Molly was envious. She and Vera went to ask Randall. "Do we need to visit you at the hospital?"

Randall sent Vera and Molly a video of him eating delicious food.

Vera looked at it with envy, and Molly was jealous.

In the end, it was Vera and Molly who were punished, while Randall went off to enjoy himself and even had meat to eat.

Vera looked at Patrick, who was reading beside her. "Honey."

Patrick closed his book and looked at Vera, who clearly had an agenda.

Vera didn't dare to make any requests under Patrick's gaze.

She could only silently watch Randall eat delicious food, drooling.

Patrick saw it but pretended not to.

Vera deliberately acted pitiful, staying up past ten at night, holding her phone and looking at the food, making sounds of wanting to eat.

Patrick couldn't read anymore, so he closed his book, got out of bed, and said, "Change your clothes."

"For what?"

Patrick replied, "You know it."

Vera looked at the food on her phone. Could it be that they were really going out to eat?

Was Patrick really spoiling her?

Vera immediately changed her clothes, following Patrick out with a bare face. Wherever he went, she followed. She even walked the same path he did.

In the car, Vera said to Patrick, "Patrick, just because you love me so much, I'll give you as many kids as you want."

Patrick glanced at Vera's flat stomach, "Let's have one first."

Vera leaned over and kissed Patrick while he was driving, "Honey, I love you. You're the man I love most in my life."

"And the man who has been most frequently offended by you in your life."

Vera smiled apologetically. "Isn't that because you're my husband?"

On the way to eat, Molly called, "Vera, are you asleep?"

"No, what's up?"

"Let's go eat. I got Sebastian to postpone the punishment, so we can go out tonight. Sneak out while Patrick isn't looking, and don't get caught. I'll meet you at the door." Vera silently turned off the speakerphone.

Then she glanced at Patrick, who was driving silently beside her.

Vera said to Molly, "Well, Molly, let's just go eat on our own. Patrick heard what you just said. We're also on our way to eat, just hope we don't run into each other." Molly was silent on the other end, then hung up.
