The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride by Whispering Willow

Chapter 494 Molly Wants to Kill

Max had had enough of Stella's crap. "You seriously think you can read people better than Ellie? If you're so amazing, why are you still a nobody while Ellie's the CEO? Ellie's exhausted and needs to rest. Y'all need to bounce." Stella flailed her arms around, all worked up. "Dad, I'm telling you, don't be fooled by Molly. She's just faking it. Think about it, her family's loaded. Why would she come here after the Olterans recognized her? Ellie's sick, and Molly's taking care of her every day. She's got an agenda, trying to win you over and take over the company, then kick you out. She was a sneaky little brat even as a kid."

Sebastian had enough. "Enough!"

The room went dead silent. Everyone stared at Sebastian, scared out of their minds. He rarely lost his temper, but when he did, it was bad news.

He glared at Stella, his face like stone. "Letting Molly run the company is just the start. The MS Group is hers to inherit. No matter what Molly's up to, even if she eats us alive, we're cool with it! This is our family business, and you've got no say in it." Sebastian got up, jabbing his finger at the door. "Get out, now!"

Abby jumped in, trying to smooth things over. "Sebastian, I'm sorry for Stella. The company belongs to Ellie, and only she gets to decide. We're all outsiders here. Ellie just got out of the hospital, and making her happy is what matters." She grabbed Stella's hand. "Mom, let's go. Ellie needs to rest."

Stella, not daring to face Sebastian, felt wronged and took a shot at Ellie instead. "I know you've been beating yourself up over your daughter's death and haven't moved on. You're using Molly as a stand-in for Mia to numb the pain. But you can't keep running; you've got to face your mistakes. If you give the company to a stranger, even if everyone else is cool with it, I won't be."

Timothy slammed the table, pointing at Stella. "Stella, shut up."

He pointed to the door. "Get out."

Seeing things spiraling out of control, Abby knew they couldn't afford to piss off the Chase family and tried to drag Stella away.

But Ellie on the couch looked like she was in bad shape.
