The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride
Chapter 337 Disliked by Everyone

Ellie switched off the light, turned to Molly, and said, "Time for bed." After a night with Molly, Ellie was bursting with energy the next day.

When she saw Timothy, she smiled and said, "You can't hold a candle to Molly; she enlightened me with just a few words."

Timothy, puzzled by Ellie's good mood, asked, "What did Molly say?"

Ellie replied, "She gave me some advice."

Molly couldn't figure out what Jonathan did last night, so the next day, she asked Timothy, "Hey, Timothy, I need to ask you something about..." Before she could finish, he cut her off. "I don't know anything; don't ask me."

Molly then skipped over to Sebastian and called out sweetly, "Sebastian."

Sebastian ignored her and pushed her away.

Molly had become the household annoyance. Even the usually doting Sebastian was ignoring her.

At noon, Sebastian got a work call and left without lunch.

Shortly after, Timothy got a tip-off and went out for a private investigation.

Seeing the empty house, Molly muttered, "Why does everyone have something to do, and I'm the only one with nothing?"

Just then, her phone rang; it was Alan.

"Molly, do you have plans this afternoon? We have a gathering and would love for you to join," Alan said.

Molly hesitated and made an excuse. "You guys go ahead. I need to study this afternoon."

Alan chuckled, "It's Saturday. Going out will boost your study efficiency. Plus, everyone there will be your future colleagues. Networking is key. Studying is important, but so are social skills when you inherit the company." Sensing her hesitation, Alan joked, "Think I'd kidnap you? I'll pick you up and drop you off. If you're still worried, I can inform Ellie."

Molly thought for a moment and then agreed, "No need, Alan. Just text me the address, and I'll come over later."

Alan's tone brightened. "Great, I'll text you the address."

After hanging up, Molly received a text message.

She replied with [Got it] and put her phone away.

At the Olteran family, Vera was holding a phone in one hand and munching on an apple with the other, reading the investigation results sent by Noah.

Vera: [Noah, where did you get such detailed info?]

Noah replied: [Don't worry about it. Just tell me, are you mistreating my unborn nephew?]

Vera glanced at her big belly, took another bite of the apple, and replied: [He's being well taken care of.]

After chatting with Noah for a while, he had to rest because of the time difference.

Soon, Patrick returned home and saw Vera on the couch. Every time he saw Vera lay lazily on the couch, he felt joy. Just seeing her, even if she did nothing, made him happy.

Patrick looked at Vera playing with her phone and walked over with tender affection. He hugged her and kissed her cheek deeply.

Vera wiped her face in disgust. "Honey, your saliva is all over my face; it's gross."

Feeling rejected, Patrick immediately grabbed Vera's hand. "Come on, let's go upstairs!"

Vera refused.

In the end, Patrick scooped Vera up, not giving her a chance to refuse, and carried her back to the bedroom.

Once inside, he kissed her deeply, savoring her scent.

Vera regretted it.

Her eyes sparkled as she blinked and tried to push Patrick away. Patrick, however, pinned her hands behind her back, covered her eyes with one hand, and kissed her passionately against the door.

He confiscated her phone, and because she wasn't focused on the kiss, he gave her a light smack on the butt. This infuriated Vera.

She completely forgot about contacting Molly.

In the afternoon, when the weather cooled down a bit, Alan arrived at the Chase family's door to pick up Molly.

He was dressed to the nines and acted like a true gentleman. When they got to the car, he got out to open the door for her. "Molly, the place is pretty remote, and you wouldn't be able to find it on your own, so I offered to pick you up."

Alan's gathering was at a private club halfway up Zandonick. He had gone to great lengths to find this place, which was not only private but also beautiful.

On the way, Alan chatted with Molly about the place. "Molly, do you like swimming?"

Molly replied, "I do, but I don't swim without Sebastian. He says there are water monsters that will drag me down and drown me."

In elementary school, the school's pamphlets always warned students not to swim in rivers to prevent drowning. Molly didn't understand how people drowned, so Sebastian scared her by saying, "There are water monsters in the water. If they see someone swimming, they'll grab your feet and drag you to the bottom to eat you." This scared the young and naive Molly, and she wouldn't swim unless Sebastian was with her.

Alan laughed and said she was cute.

Then he said, "Molly, I'm really sorry about last time. I've been trying to find out about you and went to your school without telling you first. I knew this upset you. I've thought about it a lot since then and wanted to apologize in person, but I couldn't find the right opportunity. Just sending a text apology seemed insincere. So, I wanted to take this chance to apologize to you face-to-face."

Bringing up the incident, Molly remembered that she was indeed very angry at first, but later she forgot about it. She didn't take it to heart. "It's okay, Alan. If you have any questions in the future, just call me."

The car drove for almost an hour before finally arriving at the club Alan mentioned.

As soon as Molly got out of the car, she saw several luxury cars parked nearby, with Alan's car in the lead.

Clara was also there, wearing a red dress and flanked by two girls. They all had exquisite makeup. Seeing Molly, Clara deliberately teased, "Molly, you really has some pull, getting Mr. Miller to personally pick you up. I wanted to hitch a ride, but he said he had an appointment."

Someone next to Clara chimed in, "You should know who Mr. Miller organized this gathering for. What makes you think you deserve a ride from him?"

Alan laughed and said, "Molly is a student and it's her first time attending. Please don't tease us anymore. Take good care of her."

Molly was speechless.

In everyone's eyes, Molly was a pure and gentle girl, shy and not very talkative, but very kind.

Alan took care of everything for her.
