The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride
Chapter 348 Helper

Timothy asked, "Why did you tell people Molly's your girlfriend? Does that make any sense?"

Sebastian stayed silent.

Ellie chimed in, "You're being ridiculous, Sebastian."

Sebastian, who was at the hotel, got up from the bed and pinched the bridge of his nose. "They don't know Molly's my sister. Some leaders see I'm single and try to set me up with someone, including some female colleagues. It's inconvenient. I had to use Molly as an excuse."

Ellie and Timothy still found it unreliable. "If you don't want it, just refuse directly. Using Molly as an excuse will make her angry if she finds out."

Sebastian replied, "Molly knows everything."

Ellie and Timothy were speechless.

Sebastian added, "I didn't reveal Molly's identity. I just told people I have a girlfriend. It won't affect her. I care about her more than you do." Timothy thought about Sebastian's personality and found him reliable.

Timothy calmed down. "You can't do this next time. Even if Molly isn't angry, Ellie and I are."

Sebastian said, "Okay, I see."

Timothy hung up. He put down his phone and said to Ellie, "I was startled just now. I thought Sebastian had romantic feelings for Molly." Ellie glanced at Timothy but didn't say anything.

In another city, Sebastian's phone rang again shortly after he hung up. It was a video call from Molly. He declined it and sent her a message. Sebastian: [It's getting late. You should go to bed.]

Molly: [Sebastian, it's not even 10 PM yet.]

Sebastian: [I'll call you at 6 AM tomorrow. Let's see if you can get up.]

Molly lay in bed, holding her phone. Although she wasn't on a video call with Sebastian, they kept chatting.

In Vera's bedroom.

She lay in bed and complained to Patrick, "Honey, people want to sleep all year round."

Patrick came out of the bathroom, wrapped in a towel, and went to the walk-in closet. "Is that why you slept in my office until 3 PM?"

Vera got up from the bed and followed him to the closet. By then, Patrick had already changed his clothes.

"Why didn't you wake me up earlier? When I woke up, you were holding me and sleeping with me."

Patrick glanced at her and asked, "Did someone ask for your contact information at the library today?"

Vera didn't say anything.

She was smart. "Honey, was it Randall who tattled?"

Patrick smiled and asked, "Why didn't you tell me when I showed up today?"

Vera's mind raced, then she replied, "Was it also Randall who told you about Molly and me 'studying' yesterday? Because he secretly told you, and then you sent Shawn to supervise us at the library today, right?" They were initially talking about suitors. Patrick raised an eyebrow,surprised that she managed to connect today's events with those of yesterday.

Vera went to the nightstand, picked up Patrick's phone, unlocked it, and found Randall's Facebook.

It was clean; their chatting record had been deleted.

She didn't believe it and turned to leave, wearing slippers to find Randall.

Cindy saw her when she went out to get water. "Vera, where are you going instead of sleeping?" Vera replied, "Cindy, I'm going to find Randall."

Cindy, worried, followed her to Randall's bedroom.

Vera knocked on the door.

Randall, with his hair still wet from a shower, opened the door. "It's 9:30 PM. Is your curfew lifted?"

Vera immediately grabbed Randall's hair. "How dare you tattle to Patrick yesterday? He sent Shawn to supervise me today. Randall, are you looking for trouble?"

Randall quickly said, "You two weren't studying yesterday, so I had no choice."

"You admit it! You were the one who tattled!" Vera was just testing him, and he fell for it.

Now she started to pull harder.

In the next room, Molly heard the commotion and immediately sat up. She sent a voice message to Sebastian, "Sebastian, Randall is getting beaten up again. I'm going to check it out." Molly went to Randall's room and saw Vera hitting him. "Vera, what's going on?"

Vera replied, "He betrayed us. He told Sebastian and Patrick about our lie yesterday."

Molly was silent. She then rolled up her sleeves and said angrily, "Let's each take a side!"

Randall said, "If you two don't study well and fail your exams, I'll have to take classes with you in junior year. I'm doing this for your own good, to make you study."

Vera, angry, pointed at Randall and said to Molly, "He tattled to Patrick today that I was hit on."

"Wait! Vera, who hit on you? How did he look? How tall was he? Was he handsome? When did this happen? Why don't I know that?"

Vera blinked and replied, "Molly, you're missing the point."

Cindy, seeing Randall getting hit, tried to stop Vera, worried she might hurt herself.

Now, she also heard. "Vera, what's going on?"

Vera waved her hand, not explaining. "I'm going back to rest."

As she left, she pointed at Randall and warned, "I'll settle the score with you after I give birth to the baby."."

Molly grabbed Randall's left hand and asked, "Vera was hit on?"

Cindy went to Randall's right side. "What's going on? Does Patrick know?"

The next day, Randall, Molly, and Vera appeared at the library, with Cindy following them.

Shawn refused to go, saying the library wasn't as comfortable as home.

Coincidentally, Cindy, worried and having nothing to do at home, went along.

Randall, Molly, and Vera were studying, and Cindy, having nothing to do, refilled their cups.

She also found a book to read, and the four of them got along quietly.

Patrick came to pick them up at noon. He went to Randall, picked up his work, glanced at it, put it down silently, and then went to Vera. "What do you want for lunch today?" "I want to eat at home."

Patrick took them home.

Randall, Molly, and Vera studied for three days, then faced two consecutive days of exams.

They had exams in the morning and afternoon.

Because they had many elective courses, Randall had 13 courses, one more than the others.

At night, Vera lay in bed reading a book.

Usually, it was Patrick who read, but today it was her.

She knew time was running out, so she read until 10 PM every night, then slept when she couldn't stay awake any longer.

She was so tired that she didn't even have late-night snacks these days.

Molly, motivated to get a new phone for Sebastian, was still writing notes at her dressing table at 11 PM.

After four exams, Randall, Molly, and Vera had some online exams, which they could take on their own computers.

They had one hour to complete 60 questions.

After returning home, Randall, Molly, and Vera each took a laptop to the dining room.

They sat together, even calling Patrick over.

Molly asked, "Vera, why did you call Patrick?"

Vera said, "Don't you need a helper for the exam?"

Molly looked at Patrick suspiciously, thinking, 'Would he help?'
