The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride
Chapter 282 Unable to Grasp the Situation

"You still need to find a girlfriend," Molly said.

Sebastian replied, "I'll wait until I find one, then you can support me."

"What if I've spent all my money by then?"

"Then I won't find a girlfriend," Sebastian said.

Zoey was still waiting for Sebastian to get married so she could have great-grandchildren.

So she said, "Sebastian, you should consider your future."

Sebastian glanced at Molly and said to Zoey, "I'll establish my career first, then start a family."

At noon, Stella and her family came by again, as their matters were still unresolved.

It happened to be lunchtime, and the Chase family's meal was already on the table when the family of four arrived.

They had to squeeze in, and everyone sat at the long table.

Abby wanted to sit next to Sebastian, but Molly got up and switched seats, sitting next to Sebastian instead.

Abby had nowhere to sit and stood there awkwardly.

"Mom, I'm not hungry. You guys go ahead and eat. I'll pass on this meal," Abby said to Stella, half-heartedly seeking sympathy and silently hoping Stella would advocate for her.

As expected, Stella lost her temper. Hearing that Abby was upset, she pointed at Molly angrily. "Why did you take Abby's seat?"

Molly replied, "Is Abby's name written here?"

"Abby was about to sit there."

"Well, that's unfortunate. I was about to sit here, too." Molly then linked arms with Sebastian and rested her head on his shoulder, looking even more like a couple. She added provocatively, "I'm not leaving Sebastian. Wherever he goes, I go." Sebastian had no temper when it came to Molly and indulged her whims.

Timothy said, "It's just a seat. Abby can sit across from Molly."

Abby didn't dare play tricks in front of Timothy, so she had to sit down.

Abby looked at the pampered Molly, who was loved by her parents and brother, and lowered her head, looking pitiful and sympathetic.

To an outsider, it might seem like Molly was bullying her.

Unfortunately, everyone here was Molly's family.

Molly remembered Timothy's words from yesterday and refrained from arguing.

However, she couldn't help it when someone provoked her.

"Molly, your watch is beautiful," Abby said, starting a conversation. "I want one too."

Molly glanced at her wrist and pulled her sleeve down to cover the watch, avoiding unnecessary arguments with Stella from the Chase family. "If you want one, go buy it." Stella also noticed Molly's watch. "It's ugly."

Molly clenched her fist. "Sebastian gave it to me. No matter how ugly it is, I love it."

Abby chimed in, "Sebastian is so good to you. This watch must be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, right?"

The mention of hundreds of thousands of dollars triggered Stella. She pointed at Molly's wrist, "Is that broken watch worth hundreds of thousands of dollars?"

Abby nodded. "Molly wouldn't wear a fake. It's genuine, and the bracelet is gold too."

Everyone's eyes turned to Molly's wrist.

Molly glared at Abby, who was stirring up trouble, knowing full well what kind of person Stella was and still causing a scene at the table.

Stella was furious. She pointed at Molly. "Take off that watch. It's Sebastian's money, and you don't deserve to wear it."

Molly glanced at the smug Abby, wanting to dump the food on the table over her head.

Abby and Molly locked eyes, and Abby smiled, seemingly in defiance, avenging the earlier seat snatching.

Then, Abby looked at Sebastian with admiration in her eyes.

Sebastian glanced at Abby with disgust.

Finally, Max slammed the table. "If you want to eat, shut up. If you don't, get out."

Stella said, "Dad, why are you so good to someone else's child?"

How could Molly receive a Christmas's gift worth that much just for Christmas?

Why?

Abby continued to provoke, seemingly comforting Stella but actually adding fuel to the fire. "Molly is well-behaved and loved by everyone. It's normal to give her a gift. Mom, don't be angry. We're outsiders." Stella glared at Molly. "She's just pretending to deceive Timothy's family for money. She's a hypocritical, bad woman. Take off that watch. You don't deserve it."

Sebastian's face darkened. "Stella, our family's matters don't need your input. If you overstep, we won't be relatives anymore."

Hearing that Sebastian wanted to cut ties, Stella stood up. "Your parents haven't spoken yet. It's none of your business."

Ellie was furious and threw a plate on the ground.

The room fell silent. She said, "I guess we won't be eating lunch. Stella, just say what you came for. The sooner you finish, the sooner you can go home and not miss the last bus." Stella said to Ellie, "Ellie, don't be fooled by Molly. She's just trying to scam your family's money."

Ellie replied coldly, "If you have no business here, please leave."

In the family, the one who controls the finances had the final say. Stella didn't dare provoke Ellie.

Timothy glanced at Stella's family of four and sighed inwardly.

After a moment, the dining room fell silent, and no one spoke.

The food on the table had gone cold when Stella finally spoke, "Timothy, Ellie, Harold has graduated and needs a job. As his uncle and aunt, you should help him out." Ellie and Timothy exchanged a glance. They had discussed the reason for Stella's visit last night.

Ellie said, "Her son graduated this year and needs a job. She probably wants us to arrange something."

Timothy held a high position, and Ellie was associated with several companies.

Asking them for help was something Stella had planned long ago.

However, asking for help requires the right attitude. Ellie was unhappy with Stella's arrogant behavior towards Molly.

Timothy tried to comfort Ellie, "Just help Stella out. If her life improves, we'll have fewer problems."

Ellie understood this but was still unhappy.

She hoped Stella's attitude toward Molly would change today.

It turned out today was another round of arguments.

Ellie couldn't take it anymore.

Hearing Stella's words, it seemed like she was targeting her family.

Ellie glanced at Harold Garcia, who had been indifferent the whole time. Yesterday, when Stella argued, he sat there silently, neither stopping nor helping. Today, Harold still sat there, not caring about anything.

Was this how a son should behave?

Stella's husband, Miles, also let her cause trouble without intervening, showing a lack of sense.

The only one with any sense, Abby, had a bad intention and stirred up trouble.
