The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride by Whispering Willow

Chapter 397

Chapter 397 My Mouth Hurts

On a scorching afternoon, everyone stayed inside to avoid the sun.

Vera enjoyed the AC, lounging on a chair with an eye mask, soaking up the sunlight.

Passersby slowed down, not wanting to disturb her.

But Vera wasn't asleep; her mind wandered between thoughts of Noah and Randall, while Molly's words and the sight of Emily that day lingered.

In a few days, it would be time for another prenatal checkup. If nothing unexpected happened, the Turner family might switch hospitals to avoid her. Vera placed her hand on her belly, gently patting it. "Should I find out which hospital they're going to?"

No response from her belly.

Vera murmured, "You agree, don't you?"

The baby felt the sunlight through her belly.

The Turner family Manor seemed untouched by the sweltering 100-degree heat.

The manor always felt cold inside, maybe due to the dim lighting, its orientation, or just the eerie vibe. Just stepping in gave one goosebumps. Yet Dennis loved living there.

Emily lived in a villa in the distant suburbs, and he stayed in a room there every day.

Jeffrey said, "Mr. Turner, we've found two companies on the brink of bankruptcy, but they're too small. Investing in them might draw scrutiny. However, I found a better target: Vertex Innovations Group, led by Alan from the Miller family." Dennis had never heard of the company. "What do they do?"

"They're in the fashion industry, and they're competitors of MS Group. The Miller family has long sought to form an alliance with the Chase family, hoping Timothy and Sebastian would become their supporters. However, Timothy and Sebastian hold a low opinion of the Millers and would never allow Molly to marry Alan."

Since the Chase family was out of reach, approaching the Miller family now might win them over.

Dennis asked, "What's the situation with the Miller family?"

Jeffrey explained the complexities of the Miller family. After listening, Dennis immediately refused, "Too complicated, not interested."

Jeffrey hesitated and then tried to persuade Dennis again, "Currently, Alan is the decision-maker. If he's manageable, Dawn and Jesse's situation shouldn't pose an issue. The Tooker family is beyond saving, and we urgently need a new puppet. Perhaps you could meet with the Millers first to gauge Alan before making a final decision, Mr. Turner."
