The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride
Chapter 375 A Belly Full of Curses

Even Ellie was shocked by Molly's words.

Ellie wasn't like Vera and Randall, who were used to Molly's sharp tongue. To them, if Molly wasn't sharp-tongued, she wouldn't be Molly. When Ellie first saw Molly's sharp tongue, she wanted to praise her but also wondered how she raised Molly to be like that.

Jesse and Alan looked annoyed.

Molly didn't show them any respect.

In the business world, she'd pay for it later.

Molly rolled her eyes. After all, when Jesse and Alan tried to force a relationship, they didn't show her respect either.

If she denied it gently, people might think she was shyly admitting it.

Therefore, she had to show her tough side.

If someone tried to smear her, she needed to clear her name immediately. Otherwise, it would be harder to set the record straight later. In this way, Molly was a lot like Ellie.

The organizer stepped in to mediate. What was supposed to be a simple business dinner ended with everyone knowing not to mess with Molly. Sebastian took Randall to a quiet restaurant. Despite the summer noise outside, this place was peaceful.

While eating, Randall suddenly asked, "Sebastian, you know Molly isn't your biological sister, so why are you so good to her?"

"I treat her like my sister," Sebastian said.

Randall asked again, "You're so good to her. What if she wants to marry you?"

He stopped eating and watched Sebastian, hoping to see a reaction.

Unexpectedly, Sebastian kept eating and casually asked, "Did Molly say that to you?"

Randall couldn't read his face. "No, I'm just guessing. If Molly really wants to marry you, given how much you spoil her, would you agree?"

Sebastian nodded. "Probably."

Randall was shocked. Vera was right again.

Recently, Vera had been talking to her baby, always wanting a kick.

But the baby wouldn't move. She tried many online methods, but none worked.

A frustrated Vera would look down at her belly even while walking.

Cindy noticed and laughed, "Vera, you're just too idle, always focusing on your baby."

When Shawn heard Vera was idle, he called out, "Vera, come play with me for a while."

Patrick had been on a business trip for days. Vera had no mood for TV and kept losing at games.

Vera asked, "Shawn, isn't signing a contract quick? Why hasn't Patrick come back yet?"

Shawn replied, "Who told you signing a contract is easy? Patrick has to build contacts there. Do you think that's easy? The company needs a complete leadership framework. Otherwise, Patrick might be away for months." Not understanding, Vera propped her head with her hand, feeling down. "If Patrick is really away for months, by the time he comes back, his baby will be born."

Shawn comforted, "Don't worry. Patrick won't be away for long. Otherwise, he would have taken you with him."

Vera felt a deep sense of frustration as she acknowledged how much she missed Patrick. Unable to contain her thoughts, she quietly questioned herself, "Why am I so clingy to him?"

During the day, Vera couldn't disturb Patrick, who was working. Only at night, when she was sure he was at the hotel, would Vera video call him.

It was getting dark again, and Vera took her phone upstairs.

The dinner party was over, and Timothy was already downstairs waiting for Ellie and Molly.

He had walked to the hotel after dinner and then drove Ellie and Molly home.

Ellie had two glasses of wine.

Alan offered to take Ellie and Molly home.

Ellie refused, "Alan, Jesse also drank. Make sure Jesse gets home safely first. Molly and I have someone to pick us up."

At the hotel entrance, Jesse, who was drunk, insisted Alan take Ellie and Molly home.

Then Timothy showed up.

As soon as he appeared, Jesse straightened up, not daring to push Alan toward Ellie and Molly.

Timothy's authoritative voice cut through the chatter, silencing everyone. "What's going on?"

Molly immediately complained, "Jesse insisted Mr. Miller take us home, even though Mom already refused."

Timothy glanced at Alan, who avoided eye contact. Alan was Ellie's business partner aftr all, so Timothy spoke politely but firmly, "Since I'm here, there's no need to trouble you. Jesse seems to have had quite a bit to drink, so take care of him first."

With that, Timothy took Ellie and Molly away.

On the way, Timothy lectured Molly, "You're young, no dating around."

"Okay, whoever pursues me, I'll tell you and Sebastian," Molly said cheerfully, hugging Timothy's arm.

On the way home, Ellie was still talking about what Jesse and Alan did today.

"Molly, your words were too sharp, even though you were just telling the truth. You need to be more tactful in the future."

Molly replied, "Mom, you don't know how sharp I can be with Vera and Randall. I was really being tactful today."

Ellie said, "Tactful? You called Alan thick-skinned."

Molly said, "Mom, I had a lot of insults for him, but I only picked the lightest one. I still feel aggrieved."

Ellie sighed, "Do you think you're so capable? Can you be a bit more gentle and ladylike? Sometimes I wonder if Timothy and I only taught you how to curse at home." Timothy laughed, "I think Molly was right." Molly nodded. "Exactly."

When they got home, Sebastian hadn't returned yet, and Zoey and Max were already asleep.

Sebastian and Randall were still at the café, reviewing documents.

The more he looked, the more Sebastian felt the Wallace family was suspicious. "Randall, take a rest tomorrow. I'll dig deeper into them."

Since Dylan and Joe moved out of Zandonick, Patrick had sent them to live in W City.

It was getting late, and they walked out of the café.

After Sebastian and Randall left, a black car slowly drove out of the alley.

Jeffrey looked in the direction Sebastian had left and asked Dennis, who was sitting in the back, "Mr. Turner, Sebastian has already found out about the Wallace family."

As law enforcement officers, their phones had a monitoring system. From the moment Sebastian contacted Sam, Jerry knew.

In the bureau, everyone knew Sam was Sebastian's confidant. If he sought help, he would definitely go to Sam.

As long as they monitored Sam, they wouldn't be afraid of not knowing what Sebastian was up to.

Unexpectedly, Sebastian was investigating a kidnapping case from sixteen years ago. Today, he even asked Sam to look into the Wallace Group's past.

Dennis stared at the spot where the car disappeared and said, "Jeffrey, it's time for you to take action again."

On his way home, Randall stopped the car and called Patrick to update him on the latest situation.

When Sebastian got home, Molly had already taken a bath and was asleep on the sofa.

"Why is Molly lying on the sofa instead of going to her room?" Sebastian asked the housekeeper.

The housekeeper replied, "She said she wanted to wait for you to come back and tell you something, but she fell asleep."

Sebastian walked over and saw Molly sleeping soundly, hugging a cushion. He bent down and took the cushion from her arms. He then grabbed her arms and wrapped them around his neck. That done, he placed his arms under her back and legs, stood up, and lifted her in his arms.

Seeing her furrowed brow, Sebastian stood still in the living room, looking at her with deep affection.
