Chapter 527 Sebastian Sees Through Molly

Ernest scratched his head, totally confused.

Molly turned to Sebastian, "You said if I came back with you, you'd spill the beans on the case."

Sebastian nodded, keeping his word, "Cops found some burnt lithium batteries in the room that went up in flames." Molly was lost, "Like, the ones in the remote?"

"Nah," Sebastian sat down next to her, trying to calm her down and explain.

He pulled up a pic on his phone, "This is a lithium battery. They can blow up and catch fire, and it's a real pain to put out."

"That wasn't me. I don't even know this stuff," Molly said, shaking her head.

Sebastian put a reassuring hand on her shoulder, "Chill, we'll figure this out soon."

Molly was still confused and couldn't concentrate on her books all afternoon.

Sebastian got another call. Before heading out, he warned Molly, "No one buys your story. Don't even think about arguing. Just stay put and study. I'll be back tonight, and don't go back to the Olteran family for now. That hickey on your neck isn't going away anytime soon."

Molly was stuck in the hotel again. She lay on the table, frustrated, trying to piece together the last few days.

She texted Vera, [How long does a hickey take to disappear?]

Vera replied, [Why are you asking, Molly?]
