The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride by Whispering Willow

Chapter 369 How Does Sebastian Know Everything[]

Sebastian walked over to Molly and Ellie. "You guys still working?"

Molly immediately walked over, affectionately linking her arm with Sebastian's. "No, I'm done. It's just that Ellie

doubts my skills." Ellie asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Picking up Molly. If | didn't come, she was planning to stay at the office tonight.."

Molly waved to Ellie. "Mom, Sebastian's here. We're heading out. We're not having dinner at htonight. See

you."

Molly pulled Sebastian out of the office. As they walked away, she asked, "Sebastian, what should we eat? | saw

sbarbecue online, but it's too much. How about steak instead?" The employees in the office was stunned

when they learned that the handsguy was Sebastian from the Chase family. They could tell that he spoiled

Molly.

Ellie put a file on Molly's desk and glanced at Matthew. "Cwith me."

Matthew felt anxious, unsure of what Ellie wanted.

The employees were also puzzled. Everyone knew Molly had cto the company for an internship, and they

were all speculating why she had suddenly decided to do so.

Sthought she was just passing the tuntil marriage. Others believed Ellie was training her to take over

the company.

Someone asked, "Doesn't Mrs. Chase have a son? Why not him?" "Sebastian's a cop. He'd have to quit to run the

company."

"Cops don't make much. Inheriting the company would be better."

"We're just workers. We can't guess what rich people think."

Matthew was conflicted, too, unsure of how to treat Molly. Ellie had anticipated this, which was why she called

him outside.

In the car, Molly was still debating dinner. Sebastian asked, "A conservative estimate for dinner is $300. How

much do you make in a day?"

Molly replied, "Sebastian, don't look down on me. If | have this meal, | won't eat out for a month."

Molly still couldn't decide on a place, so Sebastian drove her to his college campus area. "You used to love the

barbecue here. You haven't had it since | graduated. Let's relive the memory." Molly's face lit up. "Oh yeah, why

didn't | think of that?"

The area was full of delicious, affordable food. Molly had visited often when Sebastian was still a student there.

Sebastian remembered a twhen a high school friend visited. Unsure of where to eat, he called Molly.

Usually, the place was crowded, but it was summer break, so it wasn't too busy.

At the restaurant, Molly didn't even look at the menu and ordered several dishes, clearly a regular.

Molly asked, "Sebastian, what did you do today?"

Sebastian lied, "Slept."

Molly didn't suspect anything and took a bite of the appetizer.

Sebastian, thinking about Randall's cryptic expression, asked, "What about you?"

"Work," Molly said, not mentioning her lunch with Vera and Randall.

But Sebastian pressed, "Where'd you have lunch?"

Molly thought Sebastian didn't know and lied, "I went to the cafeteria. The company's lunch is pretty good."

Sebastian stared at her. "Even if I'm suspended, I'm still a cop."

Molly felt caught and looked down, avoiding his gaze.

Sebastian handed her a fork. "What were you plotting at lunch with Vera and Randall?"

Molly looked up, shocked. "How did you know?"

Sebastian replied, "I'm your brother. You think | wouldn't guess where you went for lunch?"

She put on her gloves. "We didn't say much. They were just worried I'd act impulsively, so they tookout to

talk." "What did you say about me?" Sebastian asked.

Molly was shocked again. "How did you know we talked about you?" Sebastian said, "I'm a cop."

Molly was frustrated. She thought in awe, 'Are all cops this sharp?"

"We were just analyzing your situation. Randall gave his opinion, and | yelled at him. Then Vera scolded me."

Sebastian opened a soda for Molly and handed it to her. "What did you say that made you and Vera not on the

spage?"

Molly sulkily tore at her meat. "Randall said the person who set you up is higher up, like Timothy and Vincent's

superior. Otherwise, Vincent would have covered for you in Mr. Kelly's case. Who else would dare suspend you

and reopen the investigation?"

At noon, in Rustic Hearth Cafe, Molly, Vera, and Randall sat around a table full of dishes.

Randall said, "Molly, if Sebastian married a high-ranking official's daughter, this wouldn't have escalated to a

suspension. The higher-ups would protect their son-in-law, and Sebastian's future would be secure. Why did

people in the past marry within the officialdom? Because it ensured support in the political arena."

Molly got angry. "What era are we in that a man's future still depends on marriage? Did Timothy marry Ellie

because she's a high-ranking official's daughter? Did Vincent marry Cindy because she's a high-ranking official's

daughter? Do Timothy and Vincent owe their current positions to Ellie and Cindy?"

"Marrying the right wife brings harmony and success. If you marry a troubleswife, no one can save you."

Emotionally charged, Molly continued, "If men don't love beautiful women, | wouldn't be named Olteran. If Cindy

were a bit uglier, would Vincent have fallen for her and had you? If Vera weren't so pure and pretty, would Patrick

have imposed an 8 PM curfew on her? If Ellie weren't beautiful, would Timothy have no temper with her?"

Vera immediately straightened her posture.

Exactly, if she were ugly, Patrick probably wouldn't even look at her.
