The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride

He lifted his gaze and met Vera's eyes. Vera, being quick-witted, approached them and took Mia by the hand. "It's time for class. Stop crying. Your brother isn't going anywhere."

She led Mia back to the classroom.

Randall followed closely behind.

Patrick also got out of the car later, and not just him, Shawn appeared as well.

Sebastian said to them, "Our family won't force Mia. You can rest assured and let her change her name. If she doesn't want to be Molly, our family won't go to the police station to cancel her registration." They would let Mia continue to exist in the world.

Patrick expressed his gratitude.

Shawn wanted to find a time to thank the Chase family.

Sebastian declined. "My grandparents learned the truth last night, and they've been upset these past few days. If possible, don't let Mia go home for a few days, or they'll start crying again when she returns." "Alright."

Sebastian went to work, and Shawn and Patrick also left Evergreen University.

Vincent began ordering his subordinates to investigate Mia's records from back then.

Patrick directly took Shawn to the Tooker Villa.

"Who did you say came?" Glen was at home at the time, and he was still unsure when he heard who had arrived.

"It's Mr. Patrick Olteran and Mr. Shawn Olteran."

"Please, invite them in," Glen said.

Lillian, upon hearing who had come, immediately sent someone to wake Emma.

When Emma learned that Patrick was coming, she hurriedly changed clothes and put on makeup.

In the living room, Shawn and Patrick had already arrived.

After they appeared, their faces were cold, making the people at the Tooker Villa serve them with extreme caution.

Patrick, young and accustomed to high positions, stared at Glen, making him, who was more than twenty years his senior, feel uneasy.

"Mr. Tooker, I heard from my father that my sister died fifteen years ago, and it was you who found her. Is that true?" Patrick's expression revealed no anger, as if he were merely asking a routine question to confirm something. Glen nodded. "Yes, about Molly's death back then, even I couldn't bear to look at her body. It's all in the past now. You shouldn't dwell on it. The dead can't come back to life."

Patrick's lips curled into a cold smile. "Where did you find her? How did she die? Why couldn't the Olteran family find her, but you could?"

"Patrick, you're here." Emma, meticulously dressed, quickly descended the stairs.

"Emma, go get Mr. Olteran some water," Mr. Tooker instructed Emma.

As Emma approached to pour water, Patrick covered the cup. "No need."

"Patrick, you and Mr. Shawn Olteran came all this way. Won't you have a drink? Or do you prefer coffee? I can make some for you now." Patrick frowned in displeasure, finding Emma annoying.

"My wife is jealous and likes to hit people. If you don't want to get slapped again, stay away from me."

Emma instantly recalled the stinging slap on her face at Rustic Hearth Cafe.

Her smile froze on her face.

Glen spoke up for Emma, "Mr. Olteran, Emma was just..."

He was cut off by Patrick, who had no patience to hear Mr. Tooker praise Emma.

He had heard enough to feel disgusted.

"Mr. Tooker, I'm not in the mood for your nonsense. Where did you find my sister back then? How did she die? How did you find her?" Patrick was determined to get to the bottom of what happened back then.

If it turned out that the Tooker family had deceived him with a fake sister, they would have indirectly caused his mother's death. He would not let them off.

Glen sat to the side, inwardly furious at Patrick's arrogance, but he dared not show it.

"In the bushes."

"Which bushes? I need the exact location."

Glen looked at the aggressive Patrick, nervously wondering why they were suddenly asking about this today.

Shawn was also waiting for an answer.

In the end, Patrick drove Glen to the location to identify the place.

The bushes from back then had now turned into a concrete road. Patrick asked him, "How did my sister die?"

"She was defiled by a beggar."

Patrick turned, looking down at the evasive Glen. "Who bribed you to give false testimony?"

"What?" Glen's pupils contracted, and he looked up in fear at Patrick's menacing eyes, his heart racing. "Mr. Olteran, what do you mean by that?"

Patrick asked him, "The Olteran family had so many people searching, even looking at the bottom of the river, but couldn't find Molly. Yet you could. Mr. Tooker, who told you this location?"

"Mr. Olteran, you can't just say things like that. I didn't harm Molly. I saved you back then; there's no reason I wouldn't save your sister. That way, your family would be even more grateful to me. How could I not save Molly? I found her dead, and I couldn't explain it to you, but I did find her in the bushes."

Patrick asked, "Did I say you harmed Molly?"

Glen's eyes darted around.

Patrick continued, asking, "Do you know that Molly isn't dead?"

This time, Glen's eyes widened in disbelief. "That's impossible."

"Why are you so sure?"

Glen fell silent again.

Shawn, having held back for a long time, walked over and slapped Glen on the head. "Speak!"

"I really did take the child to the police station back then. I don't know if she was Molly, and it was the forensic examiner who determined it, not me."

Glen, having run the Tooker Group for so many years, was already very cunning.

Patrick and Shawn questioned him for a long time, but he kept redirecting the issue to the forensic examiner.

Unfortunately, the forensic examiner who had done the blood test back then was no longer around.

Vincent looked at the case file in his hand and listened to his subordinate's report. "Mrs. Clark resigned right after examining Miss Molly's body, and there's been no news of him all these years." The Olteran family didn't know what to do now.

School was out, and Patrick took his car keys to pick up Mia, Randall, and Vera.

At home, Vera immediately dragged Patrick to the bedroom to check his clothes. "Let me see if there's any lipstick mark."

Patrick grabbed her slender wrists and pulled her close. "There isn't. I strictly followed your instructions and kept my distance from other women." Vera reluctantly let him go.

"Honey, what did you find out at the Tooker Villa today?"

Patrick shook his head. "Nothing. Did Molly ever tell you about what happened back then?"

"Yes." Vera recounted the incident of Molly falling into the sea to Patrick.

After listening, Patrick remained silent.

Vera could tell he was lost in thought again.

She grabbed a towel and went to take a shower. "Honey, Mia doesn't want me to sleep with her tonight, so I'll be back."

"Alright."

Mia had been with the Olteran family for three days. On this Friday, Shawn asked her, "Molly, are you willing to return to being Molly?"

Mia looked at Shawn's cautious expression, Cindy's eager anticipation, and her two brothers' nervousness.

"I am. But I want to go home first."

Shawn laughed heartily. "Alright, I'll take you there."
