The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride by Whispering Willow

Chapter 566 Sick and Recovered

"Alexis said Emma was the one supplying the drugs. She'd get the stuff, hit up nightclubs, and start squeezing money out of rich folks. She'd take a cut of thirty percent from anyone who bought from her. Once she raked in enough cash, Emma promised to help her move overseas," a subordinate reported. Sebastian knew this was serious and headed to a colleague's office to confront another captain. "How did Emma get sent back here?"

"Alexis isn't in the loop on that and doesn't know. We've got people at the agreed spot, and everyone from the drug video is in custody. She admitted this whole online mess started because they and Mrs. Olteran are sworn enemies," the captain explained.

Emma had plans to keep making money, but everything fell apart when Alexis saw the video from back home. She was pissed that Vera was living it up, and she felt bad for Emma. Patrick almost became her brother-in-law once. To show her loyalty, she sent the video back to Emma.

Patrick was the most important person in Emma's life. For years, she dreamed of standing beside him, basking in his power and love. But then Vera showed up and took everything she wanted.

She watched the video, seeing the back she had dreamed of countless nights, and in his arms was his and Vera's son!

Emma lost it. She zoomed in on the video, staring at Theodore's face, her nails almost piercing the screen.

She was consumed with hatred. "Alexis, we can't let Vera gloat like this, can we?"

In another dark and shady corner, Jeffrey also zoomed in on Theodore's face.

Jeffrey sat on the couch, looking at the screenshot he had saved.

It was Theodore lying on Patrick's shoulder, with a chubby, healthy, and cute face.

His scarred hand held the phone, looking at Theodore on the screen, his palm clenched tightly. Jeffrey had been staring at that photo for a long time today.

He couldn't forget the pain Patrick caused him. Nor could he forget how the Olteran family ruined the Turner family's life, forcing him to live like a rat in the sewer.
