Chapter 516 Teddy, the Distraction

Molly grabbed Sebastian's room key with a smirk.

Abby was crashing at the Chase family's place, but man, she was like a ghost at the dinner table, not saying a word.

Timothy was scratching his head, wondering why Ellie was so keen on keeping Abby around.

Ellie rolled her eyes, "Does she think I'm stupid? She set herself on fire just to frame Molly. If I don't keep an eye on her and let her go before we figure this out, who knows what kind of mess she'll stir up next." After the whole drama, Ellie quickly weighed her options.

Even though she couldn't stand Abby, kicking her out wouldn't fix anything.

The Chase family was a bunch of troublemakers. If they decided to cut ties, they'd just find new ways to cause chaos. And Abby? Way sneakier than Stella.

It was arson, not some freak accident. Only Abby and Molly were in that room. Ellie had known Molly for over a decade, and she was sure Molly wouldn't do something like that. So, it had to be Abby.

Ellie knew the cops needed solid proof. She couldn't just tell them Abby did it to frame Molly. It'd be useless, and Abby might even flip the script on her.

Sebastian was also convinced Molly wouldn't set the fire. He kept quiet and was digging for the truth.

Ellie was more worried about someone who'd hurt themselves to get what they wanted. If Abby wasn't under her watch, she might try to hurt Molly again. "Why's she got it out for Molly?" Timothy was still puzzled.

Ellie glanced at Timothy through the mirror while putting on hand cream, her eyes thoughtful. "Doesn't matter, her actions will spill the beans."

when Sebastian got back to the hotel after work, he saw a lump on his bed. Two books were spread out on the table at the foot of the bed, with some notes scribbled
