The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride

Not long after, Ellie, Timothy, Zoey, and Max showed up.

Abby had called Zoey and Max for backup, and Ellie and Timothy, worried about Molly, rushed over too.

When they got there, they finally got the scoop. Molly was fuming, but seeing Ellie and Timothy made her feel more backed up. The arson case was still a mess, Abby's story had no proof, and she denied everything Molly accused her of.

They all went over the afternoon's drama at the police station, with Molly spilling the tea from start to finish without missing a beat. She even repeated her cuss words, word for word.

The cops were shook and glanced at Sebastian, who was sitting at the end. Wasn't Molly supposed to be all bubbly and fun? Sebastian awkwardly turned to look out the window.

Unlike Molly's cool demeanor, Abby was a wreck. She stammered and looked scared out of her mind.

It got late, and the cops had to let them go home.

But since the guesthouse had just gone up in flames, Abby couldn't go back there.

In Zandonick, Abby only had the Chase family as relatives. She tearfully asked Ellie for some cash. "Ellie, I'm broke. Can I borrow some money to stay somewhere else?"

If Ellie lent her the money, it would make the whole Chase family look bad and make Sebastian the talk of the team, like they couldn't even let a niece crash at their place. Abby always played the victim to get sympathy. She didn't realize that when she asked for money, everyone in the Chase family looked pissed.

Molly, seeing this coming, stormed to the car, grabbed Ellie's wallet, pulled out a few thousand bucks, and threw it in Abby's face in front of all the cops. "Get lost!"

Her move was just like Patrick's when he was mad, but she didn't have Patrick's chill.

The money scattered everywhere, and Abby was humiliated in public. She looked at Molly with a flash of pure hate in her eyes.

Sebastian, knowing Molly's impulsive nature, caught the fleeting malice in Abby's eyes and immediately stepped in front of Molly. With a stern face, he said, "You said borrowing money feels too formal. Just take it and find a good hotel to stay in."

Same goal, but Molly and Sebastian's actions got totally different reactions.

Knowing Abby wanted to borrow money and play the victim, Molly impulsively threw money to humiliate her, making everyone think she was hot-headed and rude.

But Sebastian handled it coolly. Since she wanted to borrow money, he gave it to her, publicly slapping her with her own hand. They gave the money and even said she didn't need to pay it back. The cops quickly stepped in to calm things down, and even Makayla, who was tight with Molly, pulled her away.

The officers helped pick up the money and handed it to Abby, speaking up for Molly, "Molly's always been like this, spoiled by everyone since she was a kid. Take this money and find a hotel. If there are any updates on the case, we'll let you know."

When Molly tried to say something, Makayla pulled her back, "Listen to me, don't be impulsive."

Abby looked down at the few thousand bucks handed to her but didn't take it. She lowered her head, her long hair hiding the hate in her eyes. When she looked up, her face was all innocent again. She looked at Zoey and Max, "Zoey, Max, can you stay with me at the hotel? I'm scared to stay alone. You're the only ones I know here."

Zoey and Max just stood there, not saying a word.

Molly snapped, "Abby, you got no shame! You just embarrassed my mom, and now you wanna drag my grandparents into this mess?"

Abby, who wasn't even blood-related, and Molly, who was like family despite no blood ties, had Zoey and Max all confused. Molly's goodness couldn't be replaced by Abby just by watching a few shows with them. Everyone there was Team Molly.

Even Makayla thought Abby was full of schemes and not as straightforward and lovable as Molly. "Where's your family at?"

"They're not here," Abby replied.

"Then why'd you come here?" Makayla asked.

Abby glanced at Ellie, "I came to take care of Ellie when she was unwell. After she got better, Zoey and Max needed looking after, so I stayed."

Her words put a moral burden on the Chase family, making them look bad if they didn't help Abby. Abby came to Zandonick because of them, and now, with Molly as a suspect, Abby still needed to borrow money for a hotel and find someone to stay with her, but no one agreed.

Zoey said, "Ellie, I'm not going home tonight."

Molly shouted, "No way!"

Everyone looked at Ellie, who hadn't said a word. Finally, she got what Abby was up to. Abby clearly wanted to stay at her house. She knew Zoey was reluctant but would agree eventually.

Ellie coldly said, "Sebastian, take Molly back to the Olteran family. Make sure to tell them everything that happened today! Abby will come back with us to the Chase family. After all, we're relatives. How can we let you stay outside? If Stella and Miles find out, how could they forgive me!"

Ellie angrily got into the car.

Abby, having achieved her goal, lost her pitiful expression. She looked at Ellie's profile, knowing whom she had offended.

Molly, furious, walked up to Abby and warned, "Abby, remember who you messed with today! If I don't destroy you, I won't be an Olteran."

She sat in the passenger seat as Sebastian drove her back to the Olteran family late at night.

Shawn, about to sleep, was awakened by Molly's late return.

Susan, who was also studying, quickly went to Randall's door and whispered, "Randall, Molly's back, and she seems pissed."

Randall quickly opened the door in his pajamas, "Let's go see."

In the evening, the Olteran family gathered in the living room, watching Molly, who looked aggrieved.

Shawn, upon learning what happened, was very displeased with Sebastian, "If you can't even protect Molly, stay away from her in the future." "Dad, this has nothing to do with Sebastian. Don't take it out on him," Molly said.

Cindy comforted Molly, "I'll go with you to see Abby tomorrow."

Vincent asked Sebastian, "Who's in charge of this case?"

"Mr. Sullivan," Sebastian replied.

Vincent nodded, "Give me his number."

"Vincent, I also have Mr. Sullivan's number." Molly opened her phone contacts and handed Ernest's number to Vincent.

Vincent noted the number and left the living room.

After dropping Molly off, Sebastian also left.

As he was leaving, Randall caught up and asked, "Sebastian, do you believe Molly didn't start the fire?"

Without hesitation, Sebastian firmly replied, "I believe her. If Molly really wanted to kill Abby, she would have told me and asked for my advice."
