The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride by Whispering Willow

Chapter 432 Patrick's Lover

Molly patted Randall on the shoulder. "Based on my nearly ten years of reading novels, if the male lead gets involved in a scandal while he's sulking with the female lead, the next step is the female lead getting jealous but not asking him directly about his relationship with that woman. The male lead will then assume his wife doesn't love him because she doesn't even care about his scandal.

"Their relationship falls apart completely: icy silence, constant misunderstandings, someone stirring the pot, and then divorce. But here's the kicker: she finds out she's pregnant right after, keeps it secret, has the baby, and then..." "Stop!" Randall interrupted her, "Take it seriously."

Molly said, "Okay, do you think Vera is the type to bottle up her grievances? If Patrick dares to cheat, with Vera's personality, she could storm into the Olteran Group and fight Patrick on the spot. Patrick might end up in the hospital. Worse more, Vera could end up in jail."

Randall, who had thought he was giving good advice, now felt that his earlier words might have harmed Patrick after discussing it with Molly at the hospital.

"What do you think Vera is doing right now?"

At the Linister Manor, Vera had been sitting on the couch for a while, holding her phone, switching between different browsers to search for information, even looking up gossip about Patrick.

A maid called out to her, "Ms. Linister, stop playing on your phone, it's time to eat."

Vera didn't answer; her brows furrowed, finding nothing.

Then Vera said, "You all eat first, I'm not hungry."

Brianna walked over to call Vera as well, but when she saw what Vera had typed into the search engine: "Patrick's mistress," Brianna was startled. "Vera, what's going on?"

Vera immediately put down her phone and turned to the shocked Brianna. "Mom, don't worry, it's nothing. I'm just messing around. Don't overthink it."

Brianna's expression grew serious. "I'll call Patrick and have him come over tonight to explain." A little argument between Patrick and Vera was one thing, but if Patrick cheated, she and Warren would never let him off. Vera quickly stopped Brianna. "Mom, I'm really just messing around. I even looked up Dad's mistress on my phone."

After saying that, Brianna unceremoniously slapped Vera on the back. "Nonsense!"

Vera, having been hit, quickly went to comfort Brianna, "Mom, come on, let's go eat."
