Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 1504

By the afternoon, everyone had heard about the anonymous tip, and more than $30,000 had mysteriously landed in Stephania's account, which raised some

eyebrows.

Chad headed out that afternoon to get to the bottom of things.

Kendrick called his son. If his protégé had caught wind of something fishy, Chad would definitely start investigating too.

"Dad, I'm good. Let's not mention this to Mom or Molly. No need to make them worry."

Kendrick chuckled, "Alright, I won't say a word."

The investigation dragged on for days. Whenever Chad got home late, Wayne would sleep in his grandfather's room.

Sometimes, his aunt would rock Wayne to sleep and then carry him into his brother's room. Wayne's brother, on the other hand, was always lulled to sleep by their uncle-a nightly struggle that rarely went smoothly.

Molly and Coleen Byrne had been busy themselves. Molly had meetings with the old-timers at work, and she'd video call her mom to talk through her ideas and decisions.

"Mom, what time does Chad usually get home these days?" Molly asked, trying to sound casual but clearly fishing for info.

Coleen replied, "Not sure. Wayne's been staying over at the Cedillo's, and Chad goes straight there after work. Why? Is something wrong?"
