The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride by Whispering Willow

Chapter 93 My Son is a Few Months Old

The one who said this, Patrick, showed no anger toward Vera's unreasonable behavior, instead wearing a faint smile on his face.

"Vera, you've taken everything that originally belonged to me." Emma gritted her teeth.

Shawn spoke up, "You coveted what wasn't yours, we would rather let Patrick be alone for the rest of his life, we will never let you marry into our family."

"Uncle Shawn, why?" Emma cried. She had been by Patrick's side for fifteen years, but couldn't gain approval from the Olteran family. "Why does Cindy, with her background, get to marry in? I've been with Patrick for fifteen years, never doing anything wrong. Why am I not enough?"

Shawn coldly snorted. "Your character is just too poor."

Vera had just hit Emma and felt satisfied. Her mind started to wander, 'Cindy's background? Isn't Cindy the heiress of the Wallace family? Why did Emma look down on Cindy? Shawn also said this morning that she and Cindy are different, that she won't take care of people. Clearly, Cindy is also an heiress, so why did Dad say I'm different from Cindy?'

Patrick had not confronted Emma's declaration last time in front of Vera, but this time, he spoke up again, "There is nothing between us; it's been your fantasy all along. The fifteen years you speak of, for me, we've only known each other for fifteen years. Any debt owed to your family by the Olteran family has long been repaid. If you continue to pester and deliberately sow discord in my family, I won't go easy on the Tookers. Go back and tell your father, the Olteran family and the Tooker family are not allies!"

Patrick and Shawn's disdain for her was evident, and with swollen cheeks, Emma left the place.

Downstairs, Alexis saw her appearance and was surprised. "Emma, what happened to you?"

Emma wiped away tears from the corner of her eyes, her gaze filled with hatred. "Vera, it's not over."

Upstairs, Vera sat down, feeling quite good. Curious, she asked, "Darling, you mentioned owing a favor to their family. What's that about? What's Cindy's background, and why does Emma seem to look down on her? How does she know we're here? Darling, there's really nothing between you and her, right?"

Patrick and Shawn exchanged glances at the dining table, skipping over important questions.

"We have nothing," Patrick said, smiling as he ruffled Vera's hair.

"Haven't you two had meals alone, watched movies, or gone shopping?" Shawn sneered. "The Olteran Group keeps him too busy; he doesn't have time for such things." Vera nodded, seemingly agreeing with some of his points.

Even her own father had said that Patrick worked almost 24 hours a day.
