The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride
Chapter 278 Returning to the Chase Family

Molly stayed with the Olteran family for three days after Christmas.

In the afternoon, Sebastian came to pick her up.

Sebastian had specifically gone home to change clothes, shave, and bring gifts before showing up at the Olteran family.

At that time, the Olteran family was preparing gifts for Molly to take back to Ellie and Timothy of the Chase family.

"Molly," Sebastian called out.

Molly turned her head and saw Sebastian coming to pick her up. She put down what she was holding and ran toward Sebastian. "Sebastian, my dad insists that I take gifts home."

"Sebastian, come in and sit. Cindy, Vincent, Patrick, Vera, come out quickly, Sebastian is here," Shawn called out to his son and daughter-in-law in the living room, and the four of them appeared quickly. Sebastian explained that he was there to pick up Molly.

After sitting for a while at the Olteran family, Sebastian made an excuse that he had something to do and took Molly away.

On the way home, Sebastian asked Molly, "Did you get into trouble with Vera and Randall again?"

"If I didn't call you, then no. On the first day after the holiday, Vera went out to collect gifts, and on the second day, she went back to the Linister family."

In the evening, Vera went to bed early.

Even if she wanted to cause trouble, she couldn't.

Sebastian also said, "Our aunt came yesterday, and she's still at our house today."

Timothy has a sister named Stella Chase, who is sharp-tongued, jealous, and difficult to deal with. Molly remembers that when she was young, Ellie was busy with her career and had no time to take care of the children, so the family hired a nanny to look after Molly and Sebastian.

Stella would sarcastically say, "A woman should stay at home taking care of the kids and doing housework. Earning money is a man's job. How can you, as a woman, be out all day? Where does that leave my brother's dignity? You have two kids but don't take care of them. Why did you have them?"

"You have some money and hire a nanny to take care of them. If you let me take care of them, I would charge less. If you let someone else take care of them, you wouldn't even know if they were mistreating your kids or poisoning their food." Ellie was often angered when she was young, and Timothy and the kids didn't say anything, it was all her opinion.

Stella also tried to sow discord between Zoey and Ellie, but fortunately, Zoey, though not great in aesthetics, was very clear-headed. She strongly supported Ellie having her own career.

She said, "What's the point of a woman spending all day in the kitchen serving three meals a day? Sebastian and Mia are grown up and in school all day, they don't need care. I support my daughter-in-law starting a business. Stella, if you don't want to learn, fine, but don't hold others back."

At that time, Timothy was working back home and knew some things about the family. After work, he often comforted Ellie, saying, "If you don't like what Stella says, just curse her back. If you can't, I'll do it for you."

"What if Stella hits me?"

"I'll shield you."

Ellie had a forward-looking vision and could quickly identify market trends. With Timothy's political support, she became more adept at handling things.

She often made Stella's husband so angry that he couldn't react on the spot and could only complain at home.

Ellie bought a stylish outfit, and Stella started mocking. "My brother works so hard to earn money, and he married a wife who doesn't know how to live frugally."

Ellie smiled and said, "Stella, the clothes I wear and the clothes for my kids and husband are all bought with my own money. If you're jealous, you can earn your own money too. But whether you can earn as much as I do, I don't know." Not long after, Stella bought an outfit identical to Ellie's.

Molly, being young, knew Stella had a lot of hostility towards Ellie. Molly, taking advantage of her "youthful ignorance," often embarrassed Stella in public. "Stella, why do you buy the same clothes as my mom? When my mom buys a bag, you buy the same one. When my mom wears a hair clip or gets a hairstyle, you follow too? Clothes can suit you, but hair clips and hairstyles are very picky. My mom looks good, but you look so ugly." After Molly said that, Timothy held her in his arms and apologized to Stella, "Stella, Mia is young and doesn't understand, don't be mad at her."

Stella was furious.

Later at home, young Molly was taken to the master bedroom by Timothy and Ellie and made to stand as punishment. The couple asked her, "Do you know what you said today?"

Molly nodded. "Stella always bullies my mom. I'm young, so I bully her back, and she doesn't dare hit me. If she hits me, I'll roll on the ground and cry, as long as she doesn't mind the embarrassment." Molly was not one to be messed with since she was a child.

Relatives of the Chase family would say, "Mia is pretty but has a bad temper. Whoever marries her will drive their mother-in-law crazy."

Ellie was furious and held Molly, saying, "My daughter won't get married in the future."

Every time Sebastian heard this, he would take Molly away and educate her, saying, "Making others angry is not illegal. But you can't let others make you angry, understand?"

A few years later, Ellie's business grew bigger and bigger.

Stella became envious and wanted to partner in business. Ellie directly refused, knowing clearly that starting a company with relatives, especially someone like Stella, was a bad idea.

If they made money, Stella would feel the profit distribution was unfair. If they lost money, she would blame Ellie entirely and cause family discord.

Ellie refused.

This angered Stella, and she went to Timothy's workplace to sow discord between the couple. "You just earn a fixed salary, even though you make tens of thousands of dollars a year. Your wife is out there doing business, making millions a month. With all the men she meets, will she still want to be with you?"

"What if she finds a man she likes and divorces you?"

"I'm telling you, Sebastian is a descendant of the Chase family. No matter what, he can't be close to his mother. Mia is a girl, it doesn't matter."

Timothy immediately pushed Stella out of his office and warned her, "Don't ever show up in my office again."

Stella said, "Why are you so angry? I'm saying this for your own good."

Somehow, Ellie found out about this and was so angry she wanted to go fight Stella.

However, her children and husband stopped her, telling her not to act impulsively.

Her family's trust was the best proof.

Later, Timothy took the opportunity of an external transfer and successfully settled in Zandonick. The family finally had some peace, with less interference from Stella, and Ellie's business flourished. Later, Stella seemed to have gotten divorced.

Stella came to stay with Timothy and Ellie for a week, crying every day.

Teenage Mia would sit on the steps watching Stella cry and ask Ellie, "Mom, Stella just got divorced and lost a man. What's there to cry about? No ambition. Can't live without a man."

"Go away, kids shouldn't talk too much. Go do your homework with your brother."

Later, Ellie gave Stella money to go on a trip to relax.

The Chase family finally had some peace.
