The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride
Chapter 420 Obedient Vera

"Then let's choose this one."

Vera pointed to a room situated between the options Warren and Brianna had suggested. "It faces the same direction as the master bedroom, gets plenty of natural light, and is neither too close nor too far from the master. It's spacious and

will be easy to adapt later on."

Patrick smiled and said, "I'll listen to you."

Patrick was a man of action. The night Vera made the decision, the next day, the room's design plans were sent to her.

She received over a dozen drawings.

Patrick entrusted the entire matter to Vera, telling her without any reservations, "If you don't want to worry about this, you can act cute with me. I won't force you to do it."

There was no resistance in Vera's eyes, only excitement, as if she was ready to take on a big project.

Patrick pinched her cheek and said indulgently, "Go ahead and have fun."

During Vera's stay at the Linister Manor, Cindy had visited twice, and Shawn once. Seeing Vera buzzing with energy and running around daily, Shawn thought she must have boundless stamina she never seemed tired. During a check-up, the doctor also said Vera was fine, just very energetic, probably because she was young.

Cindy asked Brianna, "Were you like this when you were pregnant with Vera and Noah?"

Brianna replied, "I didn't have her kind of wild energy." After saying that, Brianna added, "Patrick is afraid she'll get bored, so he found something for her to do. She's really into it lately, that's why she's so energetic."

Cherry Villa was under construction, and with Vera due to give birth in just a few months, Patrick had spared no expense to ensure the work was progressing rapidly. The renovation crews were working overtime to meet the tight deadline. During the day, Vera went to various furniture markets to buy baby furniture.

Either Brianna or Cindy accompanied her, and on weekends, Molly also went to the Linister Manor to be with her.

However, it was very inconvenient for Molly and Vera to go out together.

"Vera, should we call Randall?" Molly suggested.

Vera stood at the intersection. She had just come out of the mall, fanning herself with a flyer someone had handed her. Vera said, "But Patrick doesn't want the three of us to meet."

Molly replied, "Forget what Patrick says. We've never had a problem meeting up before, have we?"

Vera was indeed quite hot. "You call him."

Molly took out her phone and contacted Randall.

Randall said, "I knew you guys wouldn't contact me for anything good!"

But he still arrived quickly.

Once in the car, Randall rolled down the windows to let the heat out and gradually closed them to avoid giving Vera a chill. "Where are you going?" Randall asked irritably.

Molly said, "Rustic Hearth Cafe."

Randall asked, "Who's picking up the tab?"

Vera replied, "You are."

Randall slammed his hand on the steering wheel, "What exactly do I owe you guys?"

Molly chimed in, "Yeah, I'd like to know that too."

Randall, clearly frustrated, drove them straight to the police station.

Molly was speechless.

After Molly got out, Randall drove to the Olteran Group.

Vera was also speechless.

Watching Molly and Vera being led away, Randall waved his hand. "Goodbye."

Standing by the door, Vera scratched her head in a cute, bemused way.

Patrick, who never seemed to get enough of her, smiled gently and asked, "What's wrong?"

Vera replied, "I want to eat lunch at Rustic Hearth Cafe."

Patrick, ever the indulgent partner, ensured she had a sumptuous lunch. After all, he was eager to fulfill her every whim. Meanwhile, Molly was at the police station. "Sebastian, I want a big meal."

Sebastian handed her a boxed lunch. "Here, a big meal."

"A big meal, not fast food."

Sebastian said, "I only have fast food here."

Molly sighed, "Guess I'll just grab a cab and join Vera and Patrick for their lunch."

Sebastian glanced at her without saying a word, then went out to eat with his subordinates.

Molly left in a hurry, spending less than five minutes there before she was gone.

Sam, alarmed, dashed to Sebastian's office to check on the documents.

The files were intact.

"Sebastian, it's lunchtime. Why did Molly leave?"

Sebastian opened his lunch box. "She didn't want to eat fast food here, so she went to have a big meal." After a while, Molly came back.

Sebastian looked at her. "You ran out of money for the cab?"

Molly set a soda can on the table and said, "Fast food paired with a Sprite is my idea of a 'proper meal."" Sebastian smirked.

He picked up his takeout and Molly's drink and headed back to his office,

Outside, the officers murmured among themselves, "Mr. Chase's sister complex is no joke; he didn't even join us for lunch."

"Mr. Chase went off with Molly. Are you Molly?"

"That's right, Mr. Chase only has eyes for Molly."

In the office, Molly remembered the day she accidentally messed up the files. It took her several days to apologize to Sebastian. "Sebastian, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to cause you trouble. I won't touch your office files again." Sebastian gave a slight nod and opened the can of soda for her, inviting her to sit across from him at his desk.

Molly took a sip and asked Sebastian, "Sebastian, are you investigating something from sixteen years ago?"

Sebastian froze momentarily, his reaction not escaping Molly's notice.

He denied, "No, I'm not."

"That day when I was looking through your files, I saw information about our family from sixteen years ago, and also about that leaf tattoo," Molly said.

Sebastian put down his fork. "Molly, leave this matter to me, don't get involved."

Molly understood. "But if I don't regain my memory, you won't have a clear direction, and you might not find the real culprit from back then. Even if you do catch someone, you might end up arresting the wrong person." This was also why Sebastian hoped Molly would recover her memory.

Only if she recovered her memory could Sebastian have a clear target. As for his reputation, he didn't care; he just feared catching the wrong person.

At the moment, Sebastian and Patrick were piecing together clues based on guesses, which made them vulnerable to mistakes.

It was very likely that Molly was the only person who had seen the mastermind behind it all back then. Therefore, her memories were crucial in determining if the Turner family was indeed behind the scheme sixteen years ago. Relying on conjecture to find evidence was a major pitfall. Recently, Sebastian had been walking a fine line in this regard.

But they didn't want Molly to remember the past.

Sebastian said, "Just eat your meal first."

Molly nodded and picked up her fork.

She thought, 'I knew I've hit the nail on the head. My memories from sixteen years ago are incredibly important.'
