The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride
Chapter 298 Vera's Family

Sebastian nodded slightly to the subordinates outside the partition.

Then they immediately went to the next room, looking at the still-defiant Gerald. "Mr. Kelly, your position in the government ends today."

Gerald looked at the young officer in shock, asking, "What about Sebastian? Wasn't he the one interrogating me all along?"

The officer replied, "The captain is already preparingOlivia's transfer paperwork. You've been with her for five years without marrying her. Women aren't stupid; once they figure it out, they know it's not worth continuing to protect you." "No way!" Gerald didn't believe it. "You cops always put on a show during interrogations to make me panic. I don't believe she would betray me."

The young officer said, "You're indeed hard to deceive, but she's not an official; she doesn't know this trick. Besides, she just confessed everything."

Gerald still didn't believe it.

In the next room, Olivia was crying as she confessed everything she had done over the years.

Sebastian was interrogating her, and a recorder was taking notes.

An hour-long interrogation finally ended.

Olivia could finally close her eyes and rest for a while.

Sebastian promised her he would. "Olivia, await the judgment of the law. I hope you can start anew when you get out."

Then he came out with the records, and the officers outside gave him a round of applause.

Sam looked admiringly at Sebastian, who was only three years older than him.

Sebastian had earned his position through real capability.

Sam praised, "Mr. Chase, you're amazing."

Sebastian had initially intimidated Olivia to instill fear, then left her alone for a while to make her disoriented and confused. During the next interrogation, Sebastian attacked her most cherished feature her appearance. He brought a mirror to show her how haggard she looked, breaking her down.

When she was highly agitated, he had a subordinate tell her that Gerald was looking for him. This shattered Olivia's mental state, leaving her in a panic. Then he appealed to her emotions, sympathizing with her and closing the distance between them.

Finally, she broke down in tears and confessed.

With Olivia as a witness, Gerald was doomed even if he didn't confess.

However, Sebastian still wanted to dig out more information from him, especially about the role the Tooker family played in the money laundering scheme through the shady coffee shop and who else was involved.

Patrick received a call from Sebastian and learned about Gerald's confession. "Sebastian, there are still some secrets behind him."

"I know, but it takes time. If Olivia hadn't confessed, he wouldn't have admitted it so quickly. We can't drag this out any longer; we need to lock him up first. Once he's detained, it'll be easier to get to him," Sebastian replied. "Gerald had been captured, and I had a few questions for you." Sebastian said..

Patrick, looking out the window at the company, said, "I know what you want to ask. It's not convenient to meet outside. Come to my place when you have time, and we'll talk privately." Sebastian agreed.

Sending Gerald to prison was a major task accomplished for Sebastian.

He had heard that Shawn was hospitalized but hadn't visited him yet, and he had only seen Molly once in a long time.

So, after transferring the prisoner, he went home to freshen up, changed into clean clothes, and brought a generous gift to the Olteran family.

Shawn had already been discharged and was recuperating at home. When he was discharged, the doctor reminded him to watch his temper and not get agitated. The doctor also advised Vera and Randall, "Don't tease Shawn too much. He's getting older, and if something happens, you'll regret it."

Vera and Randall nodded obediently, and Shawn felt he had found an ally in the doctor.

When he got home, his children indeed treated him more gently.

Vera had been very lazy recently.

She would feel sleepy after eating and would go upstairs to lie down and rest.

Molly thought Vera was sick and went to the bedroom to check on her. "Vera, let me feel your forehead."

Molly checked her temperature, which was normal. "No fever, no cold. What's wrong with you?"

Vera replied, "Ask Patrick."

Hearing this, Molly seemed to understand her situation.

The new semester was about to start, and Shawn was a bit unhappy that no one would be home to keep him company.

Three nights before school started, Sebastian appeared at the Olteran family with a generous gift.

Molly saw him and beamed with joy. "Sebastian, why are you here?"

Molly walked over, took his gift, and handed it to a maid. She wrapped her arms around Sebastian's arm, her eyes seemingly only for him. Sebastian glanced at her indulgently. "I came to see Shawn. I've been busy with work and haven't had a chance to visit him in the hospital." Shawn, understanding, said, "The case you're working on is complicated. We couldn't meet up, and I understand."

Sebastian's timing was perfect; the Olteran family was all home.

Vincent looked at Timothy's son and pointed at Sebastian, praising him generously, "Sebastian, you're impressive."

Sebastian had made quite a name for himself in Zandonick, and Vincent, his superior, had specifically praised him at a conference. "Thank you, Mr. Vincent Olteran."

Molly curiously asked, "Sebastian, what case are you working on?"

Sebastian replied, "Read the newspaper."

"Come on, tell me. Reading the newspaper will make me nearsighted, which isn't good for me. I don't read it." Molly made an excuse for her laziness. Sebastian replied, "Playing on your phone doesn't make you nearsighted?"

Molly couldn't find a retort.

Randall, feeling smug, said, "Molly, got scolded by Sebastian, you deserve it."

"Get lost." Molly scolded Randall.

Vera added sarcastically, "Why don't you ever learn? Got scolded by Molly again, serves you right."

Randall raised his hand in surrender. "I'm out of here!"

He had the lowest status and the least respect.

In the living room, Shawn understood Sebastian's intentions. He came to visit him, but also to take Molly back.

Molly had been causing trouble between the two families, but recently, she had settled down and could stay wherever she wanted.

Since Sebastian came to pick her up, she naturally didn't want him to go back alone. So she said, "I'll go back to the Chase family. I miss Timothy and Ellie too."

Later, Patrick called Sebastian to his study, and Vincent went in too.

Shawn was the only man left in the living room, and he curiously looked at the stairs. "What are they discussing behind my back?"

Suddenly, he saw Vera lounging idly on the sofa. Shawn, the trickster, was back. "Vera, I'll give you money if you go and listen to what they're saying."

Vera replied, "Dad, I'll give you money to trick someone else. I'm not falling for this trap."

She knew that Shawn was still holding a grudge over the lemonade incident. He wanted to get her in trouble so Patrick would scold her.

She wasn't falling for it.

Shawn tried to provoke her. "Are you afraid of Patrick? Vera, let me tell you, you can't let Patrick control you. If you're afraid of Patrick, you'll have no status in this family over time." Shawn spoke to Vera with a convincing expression.
