The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride by Whispering Willow

Chapter 252 Making a Name for Herself

"My family is very peaceful. Vera hits others, but not us." Shawn explained.

Cindy was still blaming herself, but then Vera quickly comforted her, saying, "Cindy, it's actually my fault for not listening to you and going to the restroom. I sneaked into the banquet hall while you were away." Cindy grabbed Vera's hand. "Vera, I won't leave you behind again."

Vera quickly hugged Cindy and patted her back.

After comforting Cindy, Vera hurriedly went to find Warren and Brianna.

Vera said, "Dad, let me check your back."

Warren replied, "I'm fine."

"I'm 110 pounds, and I crashed into you. It must hurt a lot." Vera's eyes were filled with worry, almost on the verge of tears.

Patrick, knowing what Warren had done earlier and that they weren't in a hotel, said, "Warren, let me take you to the restroom to check. Vera and Mom can wait outside."

Vera nodded and pushed Warren to follow Patrick to the men's restroom.

Outside, Brianna asked Vera, "What grudge do you have with the Tooker family?"

"It's a long story, Mom. Just remember, we should avoid dealings with the Tooker family in the future. They're not clean."

After today, most businesses would probably avoid collaborating with the Tooker family. Offending others was nothing a big deal, but daring to insult the Olteran family would hinder their future business development. Soon, Patrick and Warren came out.

Patrick reassured Vera, saying, "Warren is fine."

Vera still wasn't at ease. "Dad, Mom, you two should go to the hospital for a scan, just in case there's an internal injury."

Patrick agreed with Vera's suggestion and urged Warren and Brianna to leave quickly.

Brianna glanced at Warren, saying, "Alright."

The banquet hadn't officially started yet, so Warren and Brianna found someone from the Roberts family, briefly explained, and then left.

Vera wanted to leave, too, but since it was her first time attending a banquet as a member of the Olteran family, it wasn't appropriate to leave midway. So she stood at the door, shivering in the cold, watching Warren and Brianna head to the hospital.
