The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride
Chapter 391 Deceived by Vera's Appearance

Dennis had no choice but to have someone privately warn Victor, "If you want to stay alive and keep your family safe, keep your mouth shut."

Just when Dennis thought he could finally relax, he was hit with another blow. Sebastian was unharmed, and now the internal decision was made-Sebastian was officially set to be the new team leader. There was no turning back.

"Mr. Turner, we ran into the Olteran family at the hospital today."

"What?" Dennis was shocked.

He thought, 'Emily went to the hospital to check on her cold. How could she she run into Vera?'

As fate would have it, Vera had come in today to monitor the baby's movements.

But something made Dennis even angrier. "Emily talked to someone from the Olteran family today."

Dennis turned around quickly. "Who?"

"Vera."

Knowing it was Vera, Dennis felt a bit relieved. Vera was just a regular student, not as sharp as the rest of the Olteran family. Still, he stayed cautious. "What did they talk about?"

Jeffrey continued, "Emily thought I was being nosy and didn't tell me. But the Olteran family probably didn't notice me. When I saw them, I hid Emily right away."

After Jeffrey finished, he remembered something from seeing Sebastian. "Molly is totally different from sixteen years ago. When I saw Sebastian today, she noticed me and even pestered me. I also interacted with Sebastian." Dennis, with his old, cloudy eyes, looked at his long-time confidant. "Jeffrey, this isn't like you."

Today, Jeffrey was almost discovered by the Olteran family, let Emily talk to Vera, and even had face-to-face interactions with Molly and Sebastian. He was too careless.

Jeffrey knew he had messed up and had been punishing himself in the training room all afternoon.

"Did Molly recognize you?"

Jeffrey shook his head. "No."

Then he frowned. "But Sebastian gave me a look at the end. I think he remembered my eyes and suspects I was the one who hit him with the car. But I had disguised the area around my eyes."

Dealing with the police required constant caution; small details could expose oneself.

Dennis ordered, "Get out of here for a few days. Personally warn Dylan and Joe in Silvershore City. I heard Randall went there alone."

"Understood! I won't let you down, Mr. Turner." Jeffrey then asked, "What about the Tooker family?"

The Morales Group was slowly devouring the Tooker Group. It seemed the Tooker Group couldn't be saved.

Dennis gritted his teeth. "I can only save one of the three."

He'd choose the most useful one to save.

The implication was clear to Jeffrey: Dennis was giving up on Glen.

When Patrick targeted the Tooker Group, it became clear that the Tooker Group was nothing more than a paper tiger, and Glen was simply a dead weight. Dennis couldn't risk exposing himself just to save someone who offered him no real benefit.

So, he decided to cut his losses and look for a new pawn.

"Find a struggling company, investigate their family and background. We need another puppet," Dennis said heavily.

"Understood."

Jeffrey thought of Emily's unusual behavior today and said, "Mr. Turner, do you want to check on Emily?"

Dennis didn't want to leave his comfortable old house. But he was worried about what Emily and Vera had talked about. Since Jeffrey couldn't find out, he had to go himself. "Take me there."

Late at night, a car pulled up in front of a private villa in the suburbs.

Jeffrey opened the door for Dennis, then stood by the car with his arms crossed. "Mr. Turner, I'll wait here."

Dennis stepped into the villa.

It was late, and Emily was asleep. The maid woke her up when Dennis arrived.

Hearing Dennis was there, Emily got up to greet him.

Dennis took off his coat and led Emily back to her room. He sat by the bed. "Jeffrey told me you were upset at the hospital today?"

Emily, still angry about how Jeffrey treated her, nodded. "I'm supposed to be your closest person, but he doesn't respect me. Mr. Turner, can you come with me to my check-ups? I don't want him there. People might think he's the father of the baby. Someone even asked today."

Dennis's internal alarm went off. "Who asked?"

"I didn't know her. She was also pregnant and saw me alone, so she asked about my husband." Emily recounted her encounter with Vera.

Dennis asked, "Did you tell her our names?"

Emily shook her head. She knew better than to reveal too much. She had just chatted with Vera as a fellow pregnant woman. She wouldn't disclose too much.

Thinking she was clever, Emily said, "Of course not. Mr. Turner, you're so famous, and we're not legally married yet. If people find out, they'll investigate you."

Dennis looked at Emily, knowing she was carrying his baby. "From now on, don't say a word to the woman you met today or her family and friends." "Why?"

Seeing Emily's rebellious attitude, Dennis didn't explain. Instead, he distracted her. "I can't accompany you to your check-ups. If you see any jewelry or houses you like, tell the maid. She'll buy them for you since you're not very mobile." With that, Dennis stayed at the villa for the night and left at dawn.

On the way, Dennis instructed Jeffrey, "Find another hospital and transfer all of Emily's records there for future check-ups."

He couldn't take such big risks each time. If Emily encountered Vera during her check-ups, the potential for exposure was too high.

Currently, he had no intention of dealing with the Olteran family. Avoiding them was the best choice.

Molly was at the hospital, eating the breakfast she'd brought for Sebastian earlier in the morning. As she chewed, she kept mumbling her suspicions, "There's no patient named Gonzales. Sebastian, you should look into that person's identity. I have a bad feeling about them."

Sebastian was helpless. "Just because you say so doesn't mean we should start digging. That's an abuse of power."

He picked up a cup of coffee, took a sip, and asked, "Which one doesn't have sugar?" "They all have sugar."

Sebastian casually scolded, "Your toothache must be gone since you're eating sugar again."

Molly peeled an egg and handed it to Sebastian. "Sebastian, he has a leaf tattoo on his hand. It looks very familiar. I feel like I've seen it before, but I couldn't remember it yesterday afternoon or last night. But I have a memory of that leaf tattoo."

Hearing this, Sebastian asked directly, "Do you suspect he's related to the kidnapping case from sixteen years ago?"

Molly hesitated and then shook her head. "Honestly, I can't remember clearly. I don't know if it's my imagination or just a trick of the mind. I just have this feeling that I might have seen him when I was younger."
