The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride
Chapter 449 Sebastian Teaches Molly Everything

Dawn's face was red from getting burned by the hot soup. "Who said Alan harassed you? Would Alan be interested in you? No matter what, we wouldn't accept you."

After Dawn finished, she didn't notice a bead of sweat rolling down Alan's forehead in the blazing summer heat.

Alan thought, 'Damn it. Doesn't Dawn know why Patrick is here? Is she blind? Can't she see that Patrick is deliberately sitting next to Molly to back Molly up?'

Alan knew Molly's identity, but he didn't tell Dawn. Because he knew all too well about Dawn's gambling habits; if she grew bored at the card table, she might let slip Molly's true identity with just a few words.

At that point, not only would he have a hard time pursuing Molly, but the number of love rivals around him would also increase.

Therefore, he kept it a secret.

But now, Patrick was right in front of Dawn, and she still dared to openly insult Molly in the conference room. How foolish.

Alan was thinking of a countermeasure.

Vera tried to stay out of the spotlight, keeping a low profile as usual.

But curiosity got the best of her.

Her eyes darted around the room, scanning the surroundings. She thought, 'I know the two officers-Sebastian's subordinates, if I remember correctly. There is nothing to worry about there.

'Alan and Dawn have managed to piss off everyone, but picking a fight with Molly is just pathetic.'

Vera's eyes then turned to Ellie. She tilted her head and leaned forward to take a closer look at Ellie.

Ellie looked pale as if she were sick and weak.

In the past, Molly would have already cursed back.

Today, she was unusually quiet. Molly mocked, "Alan's just got terrible taste. He's head over heels for me and would do anything for me."

Dawn snapped, "Shut your mouth, you bitch! You're the one who's been flirting with Alan. If you dare flirt with him again, I swear I'll kill you."

Alan slapped Dawn, and the room finally quieted down.

Dawn stood there, shocked, covering her face as she stared at Alan in disbelief. She couldn't believe her son had just hit her.

Even Vera was surprised by the crisp slap. She moved her chair cutely toward Patrick, then leaned close to him, slipping her hand into his arm and whining, "Honey, I'm scared." Everyone was speechless.

Even the police officers who had met Vera twice were shocked.

Vera, with her history of brawls, saying she was scared of someone getting hit?

Patrick turned his head and looked at Vera, who was deliberately reminding him to stay calm. "It's okay."

Earlier, when Dawn had been berating Molly, Patrick's fists had clenched so tightly his knuckles turned white. Vera, sitting next to him, had noticed and, sensing his agitation, leaned in to soften his mood. Now wasn't the time to act rashly. Even Molly knew the best approach was to stay calm.

Patrick looked at Vera, unsure of how to compliment her.

Alan pretended not to know Molly's identity. He stood up and bowed to Ellie, apologizing, "I'm sorry, Ellie. I apologize on behalf of Dawn to you and Molly. She didn't mean it; she was just too impulsive." Ellie looked a bit pale.

Ellie, looking pale, had gotten dizzy and weak when she learned about the fight in the office. She had slumped back into her chair, struggling to maintain composure as the police arrived downstairs.

Despite feeling unwell, she still said calmly, "I won't accept the apology. The lawyer is on it. After what happened today, there won't be any more chances for collaboration between MS Group and Vertex Innovations Group. I'll give you a pass this time for Jesse's sake, since you're new to the business world and don't grasp its risks. But if Molly will handle the accountability; it's out of my hands!"

Patrick glanced at Ellie, thinking she was quite smart.

Her statement not only shut down any future pleas from Jesse but also indicated to Alan that she could forgive his mistake yet had no authority over Molly's actions.

Molly took out her phone and showed the police the various harassing messages Alan had sent her. "Sebastian said that if we encounter harassment and insults, the police would detain those people.

"I have enough evidence of Alan harassing me. Dawn has insulted me and my mother multiple times, causing a very bad impact on the MS Group. And she just insulted me again in front of you. You can arrest them now." The police thought, 'Does Sebastian teach Molly all this?'

Now that Sebastian wasn't in the station, the police were unsure how to handle this.

"Alan, I can't be arrested. I can't endure that suffering," Dawn cried, grabbing Alan's shoulders and begging him to save her.

Alan couldn't bear to see Dawn arrested either. He looked at Molly and said softly, "Molly, we made a mistake. Can we handle this privately without resorting to detention?"

Since Patrick entered the room, he had only asked one question and then sat down quietly.

His innate aloofness cast a shadow, making Alan uneasy even without uttering a word. Patrick wasn't here for nothing; he was fiercely protective of his people.

"No way." Molly had endured the insults just to ensure they would be detained.

She wouldn't be soft-hearted.

"Molly, sorry. It's my fault for not explaining our relationship clearly, leading to today's misunderstanding. Please forgive us. Dawn is getting older, detaining her would be too strenuous on her physically." "Mr. Miller, who are you? Why should my sister forgive you?" Patrick spoke up.

He raised his eyes, his gaze deep, looking at the scheming Alan across from him.

Alan asked, "Patrick, what are you saying?"

"Oh come on, Alan. You know exactly who I am," Molly said without hesitation.

Dawn was also shocked, looking at Patrick. She thought, 'Did he just say Mia was his sister?'

Patrick continued, "My sister was insulted, and you think an apology will fix it? Did you really expect me to come here just to witness you bullying Molly?"

Dawn was rattled. While she didn't think much of The MS Group, she knew it was on par with Vertex Innovations Group. But Patrick from The Olteran Group? Someone she'd never dreamed of crossing paths with turned out, he was Mia's brother?

She looked at Molly.

Molly said, "Let me reintroduce myself. My name is Molly Olteran. I'm from the Olteran family. Patrick is my brother." Alan apologized to Patrick, "Patrick, Dawn has a straightforward personality. Please, consider this her first offense." Vera added, "Honey, did you hear that? She's ready to repeat her mistakes."
