The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride
Chapter 549 Filthy and Unclean

Randall's threat hit the mark. By the time the afternoon class reunion rolled around, not a single dude dared to get near her.

Instead, all the girls around Susan were buzzing with gossip, constantly grilling her about her thing with Randall.

Susan kept her lips zipped, not spilling a single bean about Randall.

His love life, his family drama, his personality.

And when someone tried to get Randall's digits through Susan, she laid down the law, but in a soft, non-bossy way. "Don't even think about chasing Randall, you can't hang with me." She was totally into Randall, so she wasn't leaving any openings for the competition.

Soon enough, everyone knew Susan was tight with Randall from the Olteran family, and maybe, just maybe, she'd be part of that family someday.

After the event, while everyone else was waiting for their rides, Randall had already pulled up right on time at the hotel entrance.

"Hop in," Randall said.

Susan looked at him and smiled, "Randall."

Randall was floored again. For the first time, he got out, went to the passenger side, opened the door for Susan, grabbed her hand, and helped her in, then shut the door. Susan, still kinda dazed, found herself in the passenger seat.

So, she was the first one picked up. She waved goodbye to her classmates, and Randall drove off.

When Randall tried to leave again, Susan dragged him to buy gifts for everyone in the Olteran family. "My parents got their gifts, and I got mine."

So, Randall couldn't leave again.

The third time he was ready to go, Susan said, "Randall, my mom's got a party. Can you take us? There's this guy trying to convince my mom to marry me off to his son." Randall got all worked up, "Susan, you got suitors and marriage proposals? How many people are into you?"

Susan broke it down, "Because the Morales family is powerful, lots of people around me have shady motives and want to latch onto my parents. And I'm their only daughter, so the Morales family will be mine someday. So, they all wanna marry me. Marrying me means getting both looks and a career. That's why I don't wanna stay local for college; I wanna go to Zandonick University in Silverwood City."

Randall looked at Susan with a mix of emotions. She might seem naive, but she was pretty sharp. She knew all the adults' shady intentions without even asking.

Randall went to the car, grabbed a notebook and pen, tore off a piece of paper, and handed it to Susan. "Now, make me a list of all the people who wanna pursue or marry you." "What are you gonna do, Randall?" Susan asked.

"Just write it down, and don't worry about the rest," Randall insisted.

Susan pouted, "Okay."

She obediently squatted on the living room cushion, pen in hand, seriously thinking and writing, while Randall sat beside her, slightly turned towards her, his brows never relaxing. Sadie, watching secretly with her arms crossed, looked at Susan and Randall in the living room. She smirked a little.

Randall took them for afternoon tea again.

This time, he played it smart, didn't say a word of threat, just introduced himself to everyone around. Then he told Susan, "Call me when it's over, and I'll come pick you and Sadie up." Susan nodded obediently.

After Randall bounced, the gossip mill kicked into high gear. Everyone knew the Morales and Olteran families were tight, and a marriage alliance was totally on the table. Sadie jumped in, saying, "Susan's at Zandonick, and since we're not around, we've always trusted the Olteran family to look after her."

As soon as she dropped that bomb, everyone started thinking all sorts of things.

Plus, the Morales family wasn't exactly on the level where Randall from the Olteran family would play chauffeur. But here he was, personally picking her up. And the way he was with Susan? Totally boyfriend vibes. Were they already a thing?

People speculated but weren't sure.

What sealed the deal was Susan saying, "Mom, Randall said if anyone tries to pursue me, they'll go bankrupt."

After that, no one dared to pitch the idea of making Susan their 'daughter-in-law' to Sadie.

No one wanted to mess with the Olteran family!

In the afternoon, Randall picked up Susan and Sadie. On the way, Susan chirped, "Randall, no one tried to set me and my mom up today."

Sadie asked, "Randall, when did you say that if anyone pursues Susan, they'll go bankrupt?"

Randall didn't deny it or get shy. He straight-up admitted, "On the day of Susan's class reunion."

Sadie raised an eyebrow, smiled, and nodded.

Randall came to Susan's hometown, cleared out all her suitors, and left with peace of mind.

These were things he couldn't explain to the Olteran family, and even Randall himself felt there was something going onbetween him and Susan!

The stuff in his trunk was brought to the living room by the servants, including gifts for Theodore.

"The gift for Teddy was definitely picked by Susan," Vera said confidently.

Randall nodded, knowing she was always thoughtful about Theodore.

Molly teased Randall, "If Susan becomes a mom in the future, she'll definitely be more reliable than Vera and me."

In the evening, everyone headed back to their rooms.

Theodore didn't hold grudges. In the afternoon, he got bullied by Vera and Patrick and cried, but by evening, they teased him a bit, and he was all smiles.

Vera pouted and kept kissing Theodore.

Patrick liked Theodore too, but it would be better if Theodore didn't crash his private time with Vera.

In the afternoon, Vera praised him for possibly becoming a 'kind father,' but at night, he ruthlessly sent the sleepless Theodore out.

Molly couldn't sleep, so she chatted with Sebastian.

Randall had just gotten home, and Susan actively sought him out for a late-night chat.

No one was lonely in the emotional department.

Shawn wasn't lonely either. After all, he had Theodore in his bed.

When Jackson called to chat, Shawn video-called him to show off Theodore.

Alison adored Theodore. She used to want Vera to come over to play, but now she wanted Vera to bring Theodore too.

The next day, Molly disappeared again.

Vera stayed in bed again.

Randall got the cold shoulder from Cindy again.

In the afternoon, a call from Molly brought them all together again, this time with Theodore in tow.

Abby looked at Molly and the others blocking her way.

She clenched her fists, eyes full of suspicion, "Molly, what are you up to?"

Molly smirked, "What do you think?"
