The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride by Whispering Willow

Chapter 567 Practicing Looking Up

Molly was always such a pushover around Patrick.

After she hung up, Sebastian couldn't help but tease her, "Why didn't you go all tough and start cursing at Patrick?"

Earlier, Patrick had ordered Molly to be home within half an hour. She glanced at Sebastian, who was still laughing, and decided to mess with him, "What's so funny? Patrick just told me to stay away from you and not to marry you." Sebastian's smile froze, then slowly faded.

"I heard from Mom that she wants you to take over the MS Group," Sebastian said, already knowing the answer.

Molly leaned against his desk, clearly annoyed. "So, I guess I can't marry you. Look, if we tie the knot, it would make it even more legit for me to inherit the company."

"If we don't get married, I'm still Molly from the Olteran family. If I take over the MS Group, some shareholders will definitely be pissed, right? If someone gives me a hard time, I can just slack off for a few more years," she went on. "But if I marry you, then I'd be Mom's daughter-in-law. If she wants me to run the company, even if someone's unhappy, they wouldn't dare say it." Ellie had major surgery and needed regular chemo, making it impossible for her to handle high-stress work. Handing the company to her daughter-in-law was only natural, and no one would dare oppose it.

Molly's mind was racing, and she finally decided she wouldn't get married and would just play around for a couple more years.

Sebastian chuckled, "But I think getting married might actually buy you some time."

Molly frowned, "What do you mean?"

Sebastian continued, "Do you really think you can escape Mom's tactics if she wants to give you the company, even if you don't marry me?"

Molly thought it over. Ellie was indeed very determined. Whatever she wanted, she always got. Molly couldn't outsmart Ellie.

Before Molly could say anything, Sebastian added, "Do you think getting married is just about getting a marriage certificate? Let me break it down for you."
