The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride

Patrick was puzzled, thinking, 'If I want to listen to my son's fetal heartbeat, I can do it myself while Vera's asleep. Why should I need to top up 8888 dollars?' "How much did you top up?" Patrick decisively chose to stand by Vera's side. He led Shawn to believe that he had also top up

As soon as Shawn heard this, he immediately said with a smile, "I topped up $8888, too."

Shawn thought he had gotten a great deal and was afraid that Patrick would find out and get upset with Vera. In the afternoon, Vera had specifically whispered to him, "Dad, Patrick charged $8888. Don't let him know you spent less, or he'll feel unhappy, and we might have an arguement."

Shawn left in high spirits.

Patrick, however, was growing increasingly concerned about Shawn's intellect.

When he returned to the bedroom, Vera was already cozily nestled in bed, waiting for him with a cheerful smile.

Patrick walked over and sat on the edge of the bed. "So, how much did you convince Shawn to load onto that card today?"

"I had him load $6666. That way, he can listen to our son's heartbeat for free from now on," Vera replied with a sly grin.

Patrick glanced at Vera. "Vera, take my advice. After graduation, don't go into business. I'm afraid you'll trick people into bankruptcy."

Vera turned over in bed and snuggled up to Patrick. "Take it easy. I only trick rich people."

Vera nestled beside Patrick and softly asked him, "Honey, has Jerry been caught?"

Patrick turned to her, noting the cautious tone in her voice.

Vera quickly clarified her guess, "I've been bored these days, watching the news with Shawn. I noticed that someone else is sitting in Jerry's old position, and his role is being temporarily filled by someone else. I just wondered if something was up. If you don't want to tell me, that's fine."

Vera was very perceptive, always able to pick up on everyone's moods. That was why she could sense when to say what and how to lighten the atmosphere.

Seeing Patrick's probing gaze, she immediately added, "If you don't want to answer, that's okay."

The more sensitive and cautious she was, the more Patrick couldn't bear it.

Patrick was surprised at how Vera had pieced together so much from just the news. He marveled at how her mind worked.

"This matter is confidential and hasn't been made public yet. Jerry is currently under control. It's a serious issue, and the information has been completely sealed. Don't mention this when chatting with friends on your phone. Act like you don't know. Don't talk about this with Molly and Randall. Sebastian has been caught up in a major investigation and can't even go home right now. He's also being questioned."

"What? Molly must be worried very much."

At the Chase Manor, Molly hadn't seen Sebastian for a week.

The only thing she knew was that five days ago, Sebastian had called her, instructing her to stay home, not to wander around, and to take care of herself while he was away for a few days of closed training.

Her instincts told her it was an excuse, but she agreed anyway to ease Sebastian's mind.

These days, Timothy had also been scarce, leaving Molly and Ellie to manage Max and Zoey on their own.

She had tried calling Sebastian several times, but no one answered.

Molly was worried every day, and so was Ellie, who couldn't focus on work.

One evening after work, she walked to Sebastian's workplace to look for him, only to find that Sam was also missing.

She ran into Holly, Sam's girlfriend, who was also looking for him.

"Is your boyfriend Sam missing, too?" Molly asked.

Holly nodded. "Is your boyfriend missing too?"

Molly explained, "Sebastian is not my boyfriend; he's my brother."

Holly felt awkward. It was clear that the people they cared about had been missing for several days.

Molly looked at Holly, surprised that Sam would like someone like her.

"Molly, what's your brother's zodiac sign? I can do a reading for him."

Molly was surprised. "You can do readings?"

Holly nodded, proudly talking about her profession. "I have over three million followers on Facebook, and thousands of people ask me for readings every day."

Molly was genuinely surprised. She thought Holly was just playing around, not realizing Holly was so skilled.

Molly quickly gave Sebastian's birth information and zodiac sign.

They went to a coffee shop and sat in a corner. Holly took out a piece of paper and a deck of cards from her bag.

Molly was unfamiliar with all this and treated it as a game.

After a while, Holly looked at the paper and told Molly, "Mr. Chase will be fine. It shows that Mr. Chase is currently in a predicament, but don't worried. This predicament is actually an opportunity for Mr. Chase, not a bad thing.

"Moreover, the tarot cards indicate that the long-standing issues troubling Mr. Chase will be resolved this year, and he will gain both fame and fortune."

"Are there any bad omens?" Molly asked anxiously.

Holly said, "It seems Mr. Chase has been losing money."

Molly felt a bit embarrassed that Holly had figured that out. "That might be because Sebastian's money is all spent by me."

Holly burst into laughter. "It's possible. The tarot cards show that Mr. Chase's money is spent on his family. Molly, do you want a reading for yourself?"

Molly found it interesting and nodded. "Sure. How does it work? Do I just tell you my birthday?"

"What do you want to know? Love, marriage, studies or career?" These were the most common requests.

Molly thought for a moment and said, "I want to know about my current situation."

"You don't care about money or love." Holly spread the cards on the table. "Look at the cards and choose the one you wanted to."

Molly pointed to a card in the middle.

Holly picked it up and looked at it. "Did you get hurt recently?"

"How did you know? Can you even tell past events?" Molly was shocked.

Holly joked, "Beacuse Sam told me that Mr. Chase is always worried about his sister in the hospital, asking if she's eaten and if her test results are out. One day, Mr. Chase was at work and suddenly called the hospital to ask about his sister's condition."

Holly wanted Molly to know how much Sebastian cared for her.

Molly smiled. "I see.." She was touched by Sebastian's concern, even though he rarely visited her in the hospital. "Yes, Sebastian is very good to me."
