The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride by Whispering Willow

Chapter 416 Higher Priority

Vera, clearly irked, asked, "Why are you here? You'll see me at home tonight anyway."

Patrick reached out, intending to take Vera's hand, but she pulled both of her hands behind her back. With a hint of petulance, she said, "I don't feel like holding hands anymore." Even when she was angry, she couldn't bring herself to say anything too harsh.

Patrick retracted his hand. "Why didn't you tell me before you suddenly went out?"

After work, Molly and Ellie walked out of the company together and saw them. Molly was surprised. "Are they all here to pick me up?"

Ellie said, "Maybe they need to talk to you. You should go back to the Olteran Manor tonight."

Molly watched Ellie get into her car and then approached the group. Randall gave her a meaningful glance that said, "Let's go." Molly asked, "Is your eyelid twitching?"

Randall was speechless. He stopped Molly from going to Vera and whispered, "They're having a fight. Let them sort it out. Let's go."

It was the first time Molly had seen Patrick and Vera having a fight. She was excited. "No way; I have to see who gives in first." Randall immediately blocked Molly. "Sebastian or them, who do you want to see more?"

"Sebastian is super busy. If I go, he'll be overwhelmed." Molly still chose to watch Patrick's embarrassment.

Randall added, "I went to the police station today and heard some leaders want to introduce a girl to Sebastian."

Molly was silent for a moment, the excitement in her eyes fading away. She then said, "Take me to the police station!" Sebastian was clearly a higher priority.

In the car, Molly explained to Randall, "I just want to see who wants to introduce a girl to Sebastian and check out the girl." Randall snorted inwardly.

After all, his position was modest; he couldn't afford to mock Molly openly. The real sting came from her reprimands.

Vera puffed up her cheeks in anger, watching the car drive away, and said angrily, "Randall was not reliable."
