The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride
Chapter 33 Being Manipulated

Her words sounded casual, but only Emma knew that her words had pierced Cindy's heart like a thorn.

Inside the Olteran Manor, Vera watched the entire video in the bedroom and then handed the phone to Patrick.

"Cindy may not have insulted my parents, but I can't forget her indifference and disdain towards me. I don't regret fighting with her, I believe I did the right thing." "I didn't say you were wrong. It's right for you to stand up for your parents. But..."

"No 'buts'."

Before Patrick could finish his sentence, Vera interrupted him.

Vera looked fearless and glared at Patrick. "If you bully my family, I will fight you too."

"Haha." Patrick laughed and then pointed his index finger at Vera's forehead. "Do you want to fight me too?"

Vera's eyes showed determination. Although Patrick pointed at her forehead, her aura was not to be underestimated. "I'm serious."

"I'm not so bored as to bother your parents."

Vera's killing intent gradually subsided. "I'm warning you like this for a reason. Don't accuse me of disregarding our marriage when I hit you in the future."

Her words pleased Patrick. He was a man, and being warned by a girl and might even be beaten by her in the future.

Patrick chuckled at the thought.

Patrick noticed that Vera was no longer angry. She had probably finished watching the video and knew that her parents hadn't been mistreated, which was why she was no longer angry. He asked, "Vera, why do you have two faces?"

She had one arrogant face and showed no signs of being wronged.

Vera would argue with Patrick, Cindy, and Shawn openly. She even physically fought with Cindy.

However, Vera also had a seemingly obedient side to her.

She spoke softly and had a warm smile. Vera would assert her position, keeping what was hers and not allowing others to take it away. She had no desire to possess anything that did not belong to her.

Patrick was extremely curious about Vera. He even wondered how this girl ended up marrying him. With Vera's personality, nobody could force her if she didn't agree. When Patrick asked her, she replied, "I have one face for my family and another for strangers, and you are the same."

Patrick had never been patient with Vera. He would humiliate her, make her the subject of jokes, and deliberately allow her to be mistreated by others. However, he was infatuated and gentle with Emma.

Patrick mistakenly believed that Vera was comparing his attitudes to business partners and family members, so he nodded and smiled, saying, "You're right."

Vera scoffed and muttered to herself, 'You love someone else yet you marry me. You really are a bad man.'

Patrick was puzzled as to why she despised him.

That night, Cindy did not come home as expected.

Vincent went to the Wallace Villa but found Cindy was not there. Therefore, he guessed boldly that she went to the Tooker Villa.

Glen was particularly welcoming to his unexpected arrival.

Glen had wanted to have a meal with Vincent several times, but Vincent had never agreed.

Today, Emma brought Cindy back. Glen saw this as a great opportunity.

"Mr. Olteran, please come in."

Vincent got out of the car and asked Glen, "Is Cindy here?"

"She is. She just came back with Emma. Come in quickly, we can talk while we walk."

Upon learning Cindy's whereabouts, Vincent nodded and entered the Tooker Villa.

In the bedroom, Emma learned about Cindy's experience at home.

Emma chuckled sarcastically and then held Cindy's hand, saying, "Vera is really bullying you, taking advantage of Uncle Shawn's favoritism. She thinks she's the lady of the house. Cindy, you can't back down on this matter. If she continues to stay in your home, you won't have peace in the future. You must think of a way to fight back. They say that women become stronger once they become mothers, so you should consider Randall. If the Olteran family is controlled by Vera, Randall will certainly have no say. Cindy, you absolutely cannot give up, even for Randall's sake."
