The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride
Chapter 285 Glen's Embarrassment

Timothy later received several calls from Stella. Knowing Stella's character well, he didn't answer any of them.

After this incident, Max and Zoey also planned to return to their hometown. No matter how much they were persuaded, they wouldn't stay.

Before leaving, Zoey held Molly's hand. "Molly, be a good girl and stay home with your mom."

Molly, with red eyes, said, "Grandma, can't you and Grandpa stay here? If you don't want to live with my parents, I can buy you a house in Zandonick."

"I know you're being respectful, but we're used to the life back home. We're going back."

Zoey also knew that Stella's personality wouldn't change and that she would definitely come looking for her again. If they continued living at Ellie's house, there would be endless trouble in the future. It was better to let Timothy and Ellie's family of four live a peaceful life.

Molly later went back to the Olteran family because she heard Shawn cough twice while talking to him on the phone at night. Worried, she rushed back to see if Shawn was sick.

When Shawn learned why Molly had come back, he was both touched and embarrassed. "Molly, I just choked on water that day, that's why I coughed. I didn't catch a cold." Molly said, "Dad, be more careful when drinking water from now on."

"Okay."

Shawn had heard about the Chase family's drama and understandingly said, "Molly, go back and be with Ellie."

Molly didn't stay overnight and returned the same day.

Patrick's vacation ended, and he went back to the company.

Vera's vacation continued, with late nights and late mornings, and she "exercised" in the evening.

Sebastian also returned to his post.

The Tooker Group survived the crisis of the broken capital chain. After the holiday, the Tooker Group raised $1 billion from abroad. Domestically, a high-ranking official in politics was negotiating business for them. And that high-ranking official happened to be the same Mr. Evans that the Wallace family relied on back in the day.

Sebastian called Patrick to report his findings, "Mr. Kelly is a student of Mr. Evans."

Patrick responded with a hum and said, "Mr. Kelly's backer is Mr. Evans. When you caught Mr. Kelly, the person who rescued him was Mr. Evans."

Sebastian, looking at the documents on his desk, candidly told Patrick, "The police are currently only working based on my initial judgment. The current evidence is insufficient to arrest Mr. Kelly."

"The Tooker family has recovered and will protect Mr. Kelly. Mr. Evans holds a higher position than my dad, and my dad can't suppress him. If we can't deal with Gerald this time, there will be no chance in the future." Patrick understood Sebastian's plea for help.

He said, "I can suppress the Tooker family in business, making it hard for them and buying us time."

Sebastian replied, "Thank you."

To capture Gerald Kelly, Sebastian had to guard against pressure from Jerry Evans, protection from the Tooker family, and Gerald's cunning action.

If Patrick could help Sebastian hold off the Tooker family, then Jerry wouldn't have the energy to protect Gerald.

In this way, Patrick successfully held off the Tooker family and Jerry, leaving Sebastian to deal with Gerald alone.

This was a big help to him.

Patrick said, "No need to thank me, I have my own reasons too."

Before winter ended, the Tooker Group held a signing ceremony for a $500 million contract with the Carter Group. Because it was a big contract, the Tooker family held the signing ceremony at their company and invited many reporters to record the moment.

At the same time, Glen prepared a speech to tell everyone that even if the Tooker family was oppressed by the Olteran family, they could still break it through.

The signing ceremony started on time. Glen first gave a long speech, and finally, the most important part, the signing, began.

The scene was quiet, and everyone was ready with their cameras to take pictures.

Suddenly, while signing, the representative from the Carter Group received a call. "Mr. Carter, what's the matter?" Not knowing what was said on the other end, the representative continued, "The signing hasn't started yet; it's in progress." Glen, seeing the other party's expression, felt a bit uneasy.

Before hanging up, the Carter Group representative said, "I see."

Then the Carter Group representative stood up and apologized to Glen, "Sorry, the company's plans have changed. Today's signing cannot proceed."

Glen's eyes widened in shock, "Why? Didn't we agree on everything?"

"This is Mr. Carter's decision. You can contact him."

The reporters at the scene were in an uproar and immediately started asking questions, "Why did the Carter Group suddenly interrupt the signing?" "Why did the Carter Group make such a big change suddenly?"

"Does the Carter Group have a better option?"

The Carter Group representative politely apologized and did not directly answer the reporters' questions. He quickly left the signing site with his team. This left the Tooker family embarrassed. Glen, in front of the cameras, angrily flipped the table.

Seeing his furious look, Patrick turned off the video interface.

This time, he wanted to see what connections Jerry could still provide for the Tooker family.

He also wanted to know how many people dared to risk offending him to cooperate with the Tooker Group.

Sebastian also watched the video and knew that Patrick had made a move.

Only after Glen retreated to the backstage did he call the Carter Group's CEO, Alexander Carter, to ask for the reason. "Mr. Carter, we agreed on the cooperation. We're only taking a 2% share, and you get the big money. Why do you stop the cooperation?"

Alexander responded, "Regardless of the amount of money involved, one must possess the ability to manage it. Your actions have caused offense to the Olteran Group, and I am not keen on having my company acquired. Glen, you are an intelligent individual; I trust you comprehend the situation."

"Patrick again!"

Jerry thought he could relax, but then he found out that the Tooker family's signing didn't succeed. Jerry was furious and called Glen to scold him, "You could have signed that day, but you insisted on making a big signing ceremony to make a splash. Now, the whole world is laughing at you. The $500 million deal is gone, and I can't save you."

Glen's signing became a joke in the industry, thanks to Glen's live broadcast showing everyone the consequences of offending Patrick.

Warren also saw the live video and called Patrick to ask, "Did you make the Carter family refuse to cooperate?"

"Yes."

"Is it because of the fight between Vera and the Tooker family last time?" Warren was worried that Patrick was targeting the Tooker family to vent for Vera. Patrick was silent for a moment. "That's part of the reason."

Warren later called Vera and scolded her a bit. Vera understood that Patrick was targeting the Tooker family again.

In the evening, when Patrick returned, Vera was already waiting on the bed.

"Honey, I bought a new nightgown today, it's very sexy." Vera teased.

Patrick took off his coat, hung it on the rack, and walked towards the bed, loosening his tie. "Did you cause trouble again today?"
