The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride
Chapter 352 The Meal Lost Its Appeal

Molly handed the phone to Sebastian and said, "Sebastian, let me be your youngest and prettiest friend on your News Feed."

Looking at Sebastian's friends, Molly thought he seemed like a middle-aged man. But when she saw his handsome face, she muttered, "Such a contrast." Sebastian asked, "What?"

Molly shook her head. "Nothing."

In the afternoon, Ellie and Timothy came back early because Sebastian and Molly were home. They coincidentally arrived early.

"Did you come back to welcome me?" Molly joked.

Ellie laughed. "I came back for Sebastian. I asked you to go hiking, and you didn't want to."

Molly explained, "I was working hard for a scholarship then."

Ellie teased, "Come on, which teacher would choose you?"

Timothy said, "Don't discourage her. It's great she has this goal. Even if she doesn't get it, we shouldn't discourage her."

Molly felt a bit down. No one in the family believed her.

"Just wait. I'll definitely get it," she said.

Sebastian smiled. "I believe in you."

Molly grinned. "Sebastian, you love me the most."

Ellie sat on the couch and asked, "Where are you staying for the summer?"

"At home, pestering you every day," Molly said, hugging Ellie's arm. "Mom, I'll stay home just to bug you."

Ellie smiled happily but teased, "Go perster Timothy, not me."

Molly moved to Timothy, hugging his arm. "Mom told me to pester you."

Timothy laughed. "I like it."

After cooling off inside, Timothy saw Ellie about to cook. He didn't want her to, so he said, "Let's eat out tonight."

Ellie thought for a moment. "Okay."

Molly raised her hand. "I know a good place. Last time, Sebastian took me to a great seafood buffet. Let's go there again?"

Everyone agreed, and they drove to the restaurant.

When Ellie went to pay, she saw it was $100 per person. "$100 for each person?" she exclaimed.

Molly nodded. "Yeah, is it expensive?"

Ellie glanced at Molly, who didn't understand the value of money. She paid, then took Molly's wrist and led her to the table, complaining to Timothy, "Honey, you wouldn't believe how extravagant Molly is now. It is a $100 buffet for each person, and she asked if it was expensive."

Sebastian had already brought several plates of Molly's favorite seafood.

Timothy said, "If it were up to my salary, I couldn't afford to support Molly."

Molly took a bite of lobster. "I don't eat it every day. You can definitely afford it. Besides, after I graduate and get a job, I'll earn my own money."

Ellie asked, "Do you have any plans for the summer?"

Molly shook her head. "No."

Ellie said, "Come work at my company."

Molly didn't respond.

Ellie added, "Monthly salary of $4000."

The meal became a bit hard to swallow.

Timothy and Sebastian nodded in agreement. "She should gain some work experience."

While eating, Molly wanted lobster but didn't want to peel it herself. Sebastian peeled it for her and put it on her plate.

Timothy asked Sebastian, "I heard you were called in for a talk after you came back?"

Sebastian replied, "Larry asked about the MS Group, but he already knew everything. Just routine questions."

Timothy, being sharp, probably guessed why Sebastian was called in.

Timothy was concerned about Sebastian's career, while Ellie was more focused on his love life. She asked, "Sebastian, didn't you meet any nice girls while you were away?" Sebastian said, "If I had, I wouldn't be using Molly as an excuse."

Molly, silently eating a sea snail, was eavesdropping on their conversation.

Ellie said, "If you meet someone you like, try to date them."

Before Ellie could finish, Molly interrupted, "Mom, come to the bathroom with me."

Ellie asked, "Can't you find your way?"

"I can, but I need you to come with me."

Ellie, a bit helpless, got up. "Let's go."

Molly wiped her hands, got up, and followed Ellie to the bathroom. On the way, she said, "Mom, didn't you say you wouldn't push Sebastian to get married?"

Ellie replied, "I didn't."

"You were just pushing him."

Ellie, doubting herself, thought, 'Did I just push him?'

The Turner Villa was cold and quiet, with old furniture.

Dennis sat in a chair, holding a phone, listening to Victor Hudson.

"Mr. Turner, Mr. Adams and Mr. Baker want to promote Sebastian to team leader. The Chase family stays out of factional disputes. Timothy does, and so does Sebastian. Mr. Kelly was brought down by Sebastian. If he gains more power, he might come after us soon."

Dennis closed his eyes. After a long pause, he said hoarsely, "By any means necessary, he must not get that position, and Timothy's rank must not rise any further."

He added, "This world doesn't need so many righteous people. There are only winners and losers. Winners are seen as 'righteous' by ordinary people. Losers are like dust, everywhere." His voice was eerie, like a demon from hell. Victor was taken aback. "Mr. Turner, my power is limited. I can't be too aggressive, or I'll attract Vincent's attention. I need your guidance."

Dennis opened his eyes. "Evans."

With just a surname, Victor understood. He thanked him and hung up.

Standing silently beside Dennis was Jeffrey Turner, a strong middle-aged man with a leaf tattoo on his hand.

"Mr. Turner, are we going to move against Sebastian?"

Dennis held the phone to his lips and shook his head, "He can't be touched. Behind Sebastian are Timothy, Larry, Mr. Adams, and Vincent! If anything happens to Sebastian, they won't let it go."

Even with all his connections, he couldn't stand against them if they united.

Moreover, behind Sebastian was the MS Group, and Ellie couldn't be underestimated.
