The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride by Whispering Willow

Chapter 550 Honey, Stay Away From Me

In the president's office of the Olteran Group, Patrick's phone buzzed on his desk.

It was Vera again. Patrick picked up with a grin, "Hey, Vera."

"Is this Patrick? We're the cops. Vera, Molly, and Randall got into a brawl, and they're here at the station. Can you come down?" a voice said on the other end. Patrick's smile faded. "Where's Sebastian?"

"Mr. Chase is already here. He told me to call you," the voice replied.

Half an hour later, Patrick showed up at the usual spot.

Vera, Molly, and Randall were slumped on a nearby chair.

Vera and Molly looked down, all guilty-like, with Vera clutching Theodore. The kid, clueless, just snuggled in Vera's arms.

Randall, though, was chill, spinning his car keys, waiting for Patrick.

Sebastian was in front of Molly, silent.

Molly kept sneaking glances at Sebastian, then mumbled, "Sebastian, say something. You're scaring me with the silent treatment."

Sebastian slammed the table, making Molly jump. "I thought you were fearless. Why'd you mess with her? What if you had burned her to death?" Molly whispered, "I just couldn't let it go."

Theodore, in Vera's arms, got startled and started bawling in the police station.

Patrick walked over, and Vera, scared, scooted closer to Molly. "Honey, stay away from me. You freak me out."

Patrick asked, "You took Theodore to a fight, and now you're scared of me?"

Theodore, feeling guilty. "I
