The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride by Whispering Willow

Chapter 272 As Fragile as Thin Glass

Sebastian looked at Molly and said, "This wasn't intentional violence. It was a reaction out of fear, an instinctive response that injured the staff. It's not a crime. When the person in charge arrives, let's hear what they have to say. We should be able to settle this privately without any issues."

Vera asked, "What if they refuse to settle privately and keep pushing the issue?"

Patrick replied, "Then I'll just buy this place."

Vera turned to look at him, her eyes filled with tears.

Patrick would never let Vera actually get caught. He might scare her with words usually, but when it comes to serious matters, no one could take his precious Vera away from him! Soon, the person in charge arrived, but they were stunned to see Patrick.

"Mr. Olteran."

Patrick nodded.

The person in charge glanced at Vera, who was in Patrick's arms, and asked, "Who is this?"

"My wife."

Knowing Patrick's identity, the person in charge didn't call the police. Instead, they went to the conference room to review the video footage with a few others.

Watching the video, Sebastian broke into a cold sweat. Vera, Molly, and Randall had foolishly decided to visit the haunted house early in the morning.

Seeing the mechanical ghosts swarming toward them and the bloody hands, Sebastian thought he might have reacted the same way if he had been there. It was a natural instinct. Most people went in groups of ten or more in the afternoon when it was crowded. Vera, Molly, and Randall were brave enough to go in alone.

In the video, one was crying and calling Sebastian's name, while another was tearfully looking for Patrick.

Sebastian believed that Patrick felt the same way he did-heartbroken. They both wished they could have been there to protect their loved ones. Patrick, too, saw the video of Vera crying and calling for him, and his anger dissipated instantly, leaving only heartache.

Unable to watch any longer, Patrick asked the person in charge, "How do you plan to resolve this? Tell me your proposal."
