The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride
Chapter 321 Attending with My Daughter

Ellie said, "The head of Vertex Innovations Group is a bold boss. I've interacted with him before; he's a man of integrity and wouldn't do anything disgusting. His invitation was just a friendly gesture between peers, but people below him misunderstood."

The secretary asked, "Mrs. Chase, how can you be sure that this wasn't a directive from the head of Vertex Innovations Group, letting his subordinates take the blame?"

Ellie smiled but didn't speak too bluntly.

That evening, after the last incident, the head of Vertex Innovations Group personally came to her house with lavish gifts to apologize.

First, he felt deeply indebted for humiliating a fellow boss. Second, he didn't dare offend Ellie's husband and son.

The secretary left, and Ellie's phone rang again.

She was constantly occupied, but this time it was her sister, Bella Wright, Jonathan's mother, on the line.

She answered and put the phone to her ear, "Hello, Bella."

"Ellie, how's your health? Is it serious? Jonathan came home saying you were quite ill and had been to the hospital several times. If you're not feeling well, take a break and rest for a while. Let Jonathan manage the company for you; he has always been loyal to you."

"Jonathan exaggerated. I have a common case of breast hyperplasia. At our age, it's normal to have some health issues. Don't make a fuss," Ellie refused.

Bella said a few more words of advice and then hung up.

After the call ended, Ellie frowned.

She dialed the internal line to reach her secretary outside. "Tell the head of Vertex Innovations Group that I will attend the opening with my daughter." "Yes, Mrs. Chase."

Thinking about Bella's call and Jonathan's recent behavior, Ellie dialed the internal line to reach the finance manager, Benjamin Hill. "Benjamin, come up for a moment."

In the evening, Ellie drove home, and Sebastian and Timothy were already discussing business matters.

When Ellie got home, Sebastian and Timothy stopped their discussion. "Mom, have you eaten?" Sebastian asked.

Ellie nodded. "I ate with my subordinates. Have you and your dad eaten?"

Sebastian nodded as well.

She put down her bag and sat on the sofa. "Molly was talking about you this morning. If you have time tomorrow, go see her," she said.

"I talked to her on the phone last night until she fell asleep. What's she still talking about?" Sebastian said with a happy smile.

Mentioning Molly, he couldn't help but smile.

Ellie was a bit tired. She sat in the living room, holding a cushion and closing her eyes to rest. "Sebastian, don't collaborate with relatives and friends in the future." Sebastian said, "It's not up to me. What's wrong, Mom?"

Timothy also looked at Ellie curiously.

Ellie sat up and started chatting with Timothy and Sebastian about family matters. "I've been going to the hospital frequently lately. Somehow, Jonathan found out and started trying to meddle in the finance department. As a marketing manager, he even wants to control my finances. How greedy!"

"This afternoon, Bella called me, suggesting I let Jonathan manage the company, pretending to care about me but really wanting her son to take over."

"I had lunch with Benjamin today to understand recent company events. Jonathan has been getting close to other shareholders, giving gifts and hosting dinners, bypassing me."

"When he first joined the company, I watched him grow bit by bit, thinking he could help Sebastian when he graduated and took over the company. Now, I've raised a wolf by my side." Sebastian knew that Bella's family also had their eyes on the MS Group, waiting to benefit from it. He didn't expect Bella to be eyeing the company as well.

Ellie said, "Ever since they found out Molly isn't my biological daughter and that Sebastian can't engage in business because he's a cop, people around me have started coveting my company." Sebastian said, "Even if Molly isn't your biological daughter, the MS Group will still be hers in the end."

Timothy comforted Ellie, "With me and Sebastian here, no one can take your things."

Ellie said, "People always protect their children. Even if Sebastian doesn't want the MS Group, it must be Molly's. No one else has the right to touch it."

"Next week, Vertex Innovations Group is opening a new store. I plan to take Molly to the event. I want to tell everyone that the MS Group's future belongs to Molly."

Timothy looked at the suddenly energized Ellie with deep affection, "Next week, let's dress Molly up beautifully so everyone knows she's our daughter and the future heir of the company."

Since Sebastian became a police officer, he had given up his right to inherit the company unless he removed his uniform. But when he first became a cop, Sebastian clearly told the family that the company would go to Molly, and he wanted nothing.

Thus, when Molly finished high school and chose her major, the whole family unanimously decided she should study business.

Eighteen-year-old Molly, fresh out of high school, waved her hand nonchalantly, "Mom, Dad, and Brother, you can choose whatever you want for me, as long as I don't run out of money in the future."

With Ellie's MS Group, she certainly wouldn't lack money.

The three chatted for a while longer before going their separate ways to rest.

After taking a bath, Ellie lay in bed, feeling relieved. "Luckily, it's just breast hyperplasia. I was most afraid it was breast cancer. Molly is only a sophomore in college and still doesn't know much. I wouldn't be at ease getting treatment." Timothy lay beside Ellie. "You still need to take your medicine. Didn't the doctor say your condition is due to overwork? If it were a breast tumor or breast cancer, you wouldn't escape surgery."

Recently, Ellie had felt discomfort in her chest and found a lump. After a hospital check-up, she had been taking medication, fearing it might be cancer. Since the diagnosis wasn't confirmed, she didn't tell Molly and Sebastian to avoid worrying them.

Ellie said, "I need to follow the doctor's advice and keep a happy mood."

"With your temper, that might be hard. Tomorrow, I'll write a note and hang it in your office to remind you: Stay Happy."

Ellie playfully slapped Timothy's back. "You're impossible. Honey, find some time to visit the Olteran family with me to see Vera. I haven't seen her since she got pregnant. I didn't have time to talk to her at the hospital last time." "For you, Ellie, I'll make time."

Ellie pinched Timothy's shoulder. "You're so unserious."

The next day, Molly received a call from Ellie. "Mom, what do you need me to do?"

"Come over so I can make you a dress," Ellie said. "Have lunch at my place."

Molly agreed and headed straight to the MS Group after school.

As she entered the elevator, she saw Jonathan. "Jonathan, are you going to lunch?"

Jonathan was surprised to see Molly, as she was rarely at the company. "Molly, what brings you here?"

"My mom called me," Molly said quickly as the elevator arrived. "Jonathan, go have your lunch. I'm off to find my mom."

Jonathan watched Molly's retreating figure, deep in thought.
