The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride by Whispering Willow

Chapter 481: Vera, You Should Get a Divorce

Vera bit her lip in frustration. "Honey, when are you going to go bankrupt?"

After she said that, everyone laughed again.

While others hoped their husbands would be wealthy, Vera wanted Patrick to go bankrupt.

Patrick tapped Vera's nose affectionately and said, "That would be a bit difficult."

Molly asked Shawn, "Dad, if | have a daughter, will you reward me?"

Shawn's face darkened. "I don't think you should get married at all. Isn't it better to be free and carefree?"

Timothy and Shawn were on the spage. "There are so many independent women now; you can be happy

even if you don't get married. Marriage is full of trivial matters. Why should you put yourself through that?" Molly

clicked her tongue as she wondered why her family had double standards.

"Vera, you should divorce Patrick. Didn't you hear what Shawn said? What's so good about marriage? Isn't it

better to be single?" Molly had a knack for annoying people with her words.

She then looked at Susan, who had spent the day by Randall's side. "Susan, you shouldn't marry Randall either.

Why should girls get married and have kids?"

Finally, Molly looked at Sebastian. "Sebastian, you shouldn't get married too. There are so many independent

women now; we don't need men anymore." Susan's face turned red because of Molly's words. "Molly, stop

talking nonsense."

As Susan glanced up at Randall's profile, her face grew redder.

Randall didn't notice Susan's blushing face. He pointed at Molly. "I can't wait to see how Patrick deals with you."

However, Patrick just looked at Vera and smiled. Then he said to Molly, "Vera wouldn't dare divorce me."

Molly looked at Vera, and Vera nodded in agreement "Molly, Patrick has money; I'm not divorcing him." Patrick

was satisfied.

Molly rolled her eyes.

Randall, who had been waiting to see Molly defeated, was not happy.

Zoey looked at Sebastian and said, "Sebastian still needs to get married."

Sebastian smiled at Zoey, his gaze briefly sweeping over Timothy and Shawn, who also supported Molly's stance

on not getting married.

However, Sebastian's smile didn't quite reach his eyes.

He leaned back in his chair, his hand resting casually on his knee, fingers tapping lightly as he pondered the

situtation.

"Vera, will you stay at our house after you give birth?" Molly asked.

Vera shook her head. "No, I'll go back to Cherry Villa. If | want to cback, | will. | need Brianna to take care of

me, and it's better forto stay at Cherry Villa."

The Olteran family had discussed this with Vera for a long time. Cindy said she could also take care of Vera.

But Cindy had already helped Vera a lot during her pregnancy, so it was better for Brianna to be around for this.

And Vera wanted to go back to Cherry Villa after giving birth since that would be her home.

Molly said, "Savea room."

"No problem." Vera smiled and looked at Susan. "Susan, | will save a room for you, too. You're welcto come

visitat Cherry Villa anytto keepcompany." Susan felt a warm sense of family with Vera. Although

Vera was only three years older, she seemed like she was thirteen years older.

Susan nodded. "Thank you, Vera. I'll cvisit you."

They kept talking non-stop. Whenever the conversation was about to end, Vera and Molly would deliberately

bring up another topic to keep everyone engaged. They didn't give the Chase family any tto feel down. Since

they were outside the operating room, if the atmosphere quieted down, the Chase family would worry about

Ellie, who was in surgery.

Vera and Molly hadn't discussed this beforehand, but they both worked to keep the atmosphere lively and

interesting, preventing it from becoming somber.

Zoey's phone rang, and she stepped away from the crowd to answer it. "Stella. What's up?"

Ellie was in surgery, and Stella wasn't there, so she had called twice to ask about the situation. "Mom, did Ellie's

surgery go well?"

"She's not out yet." Zoey thought Stella was concerned about Ellie's safety. This was the second tshe had

called.

Stella unexpectedly said to Zoey, "Mom, it's been so long. What if she doesn't make it? Did she make a will

before going in? Have you seen how the inheritance will be divided? Do we get a share?" Zoey's eyes reddened

with anger at Stella's words. "Stella, are you just waiting for Ellie's will? You're so cruel!"

Zoey was so angry she started to cry. "The Olteran family knows Ellie is in surgery, and they are all here. Even

Vera, who's pregnant, has been waiting for over three hours, but none of you even showed up. Ellie has always

been good to you; you're all ruthless."

Stella said, "Mom, I'm worried about her too, but if she doesn't make it, we can't let an outsider take the

inheritance. Jonathan works in the company too; he'll definitely try to take it. Molly's family is already so rich;

why are they competing with us? Don't be foolish, Mom. If it comes to that, you must take charge as the elder."

Zoey angrily hung up on Stella, her hands trembling with rage.

Sebastian walked over. "Grandma, don't be angry."

Sebastian had guessed it was Stella when he saw Zoey on the phone. Even though Ellie was seriously ill and

undergoing surgery, they hadn't bothered to call and check on Ellie, which had disheartened him.

As Sebastian walked over, he still expected that Stella would care. Instead, he heard everything she said.

Zoey's phone was set to the loudest volume, so it wasn't hard for Sebastian to hear what Stella said.

Zoey looked at Sebastian. "Stella is becoming more foolish."

Sebastian's face was expressionless. "She's your daughter, and | have no right to ask you to cut ties with her. But

please understand if Molly and | refuse to see her in the future, ."

He added, "Don't let my mom see them until she recovers. Stress will make her condition worse. From now on, I'll

deal with any Chase family matters. Don't let my parents handle any of it." Zoey nodded. "I understand."

"Let's go back."

Ellie's surgery lasted over four hours. Everyone's hearts were in their throats when the light outside the

operating room finally went off.

The doctor cout, and they all surrounded him. "Doctor, how's my wife?" Timothy was very anxious.
