The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride
Chapter 526 No One Believes Molly

Molly yanked her hands outta Sebastian's grip real quick.

Ellie shot Molly a look, "When did you two start hooking up?"

"It's not true!" Molly blurted out.

But no one bought it. Sebastian chimed in, "Over summer break."

Abby jumped in, "No way. Just a few days ago, Molly told me you two were just like siblings."

Seeing Abby, Molly's blood boiled. Abby wanted to split her and Sebastian up, but now it looked like she was about to marry him.

Abby glared at Molly, "You can't be with Sebastian, you two are siblings."

Molly, already fuming, snapped back, "We can't be together, but Sebastian can be with you? You just want Sebastian and my family's money. You're not even a real kid, and neither am I. But do you think my mom will side with you over me? You're on my turf, trying to turn my family against me?"

Molly regretted sending those photos to Abby yesterday to stir things up.

Ellie asked Molly, "So, is your thing with Sebastian real?"

Molly shot back, "It's fake."

But Sebastian said, "Mom, you should've known the truth last night. Molly's just too shy to admit it, but you know what's up, right?"

"No! Mom, don't listen to Sebastian. He's lying." Molly anxiously defended herself.

Sebastian looked at Ellie with a confident smirk, sure she'd believe him.

Molly turned to Timothy, "Dad, you believe me, right?"

Timothy asked, "Where'd you sleep last night?" Molly replied, "The hotel."

Timothy asked again, "What about Sebastian?"

Sebastian silently pulled out his hotel room key and another one for Molly. Both keys had the number 2806 on them.

Molly stared at the two identical keys. "Dad, I can explain."

But Timothy wasn't buying it anymore.

Molly looked at Zoey and Max, "I'm telling the truth, trust me."

Zoey and Max turned their backs on her. Zoey wasn't blind to what she saw at the door earlier.

Molly held her head in frustration.

The Chase family fell silent. Molly lowered her head, knowing she couldn't explain herself and could only sigh.

Seeing that no one was speaking, Sebastian said, "Since you all know, I'll marry Molly out of responsibility."

"No way!" Molly's eyes widened as she loudly refused.

Ellie stood up, "Molly, come upstairs with me." Molly immediately followed Ellie to the study.

As soon as she entered, before Ellie could ask, she spilled everything, "It's real, Mom, there's nothing between me and Sebastian, really nothing." "How did he know about your birthmark?" Ellie asked.

Molly bit her lip, "He saw it by accident."

Ellie asked again, "What about the kiss in the photo?"

"I accidentally kissed him." Molly replied.

Ellie asked again, "Why were you two in the same hotel room?"

Before Molly could explain, Ellie answered for her, "You accidentally slept in the wrong room? And the kiss on your neck was also accidental?"

Molly knew she couldn't explain it clearly. She started crying in frustration. "Mom."

Ellie snapped at Molly, "Is this how I raised you? A girl should have some self-respect. Which part did you get?"

Molly, tears streaming down her face, pleaded, "Mom, I didn't do anything."

Ellie was so mad she had to lean on the table for support. This was even worse than finding out Molly and Sebastian were a thing.

"When did you two sleep together?" Ellie demanded.

Molly, feeling wronged, said, "We didn't."

Ellie wasn't buying it. "Everything's out in the open and you're still lying?"

Molly, still crying, lied, "Sebastian told me to say it happened after Teddy's welcome party."

Ellie asked, "Why are you only telling us now?"

Molly felt completely misunderstood.

"Be honest, do you like Sebastian?" Ellie pressed.

Downstairs, Sebastian was trying to win over Timothy, Zoey, and Max for his marriage to Molly.

"We kept it from you because Mom was sick and couldn't handle the shock. Now that everything's out, I have to take responsibility for Molly. From a selfish point of view, Molly marrying me is good for our family. If we break up, she won't be able to face me, and you might lose her too. Marrying me lets her rightfully inherit the MS Group and stay part of the Chase family," Sebastian explained.

Timothy asked, "Do you want to marry Molly just out of responsibility?"

Sebastian looked him straight in the eye, "No, because I love her."

For the first time, in front of Ellie, Timothy, Zoey, and Max, he openly admitted his feelings.

Half an hour later, Molly came downstairs with red, puffy eyes, following Ellie.

Sebastian had finished his round of questioning.

"Sebastian, come upstairs with me," Ellie called him away again.

Molly had to face another round of grilling. She felt both angry and wronged.

The Chase family spent the whole afternoon dealing with this mess, skipping lunch.

At three in the afternoon, Sebastian took Molly away. Once in the car, Molly started crying again.

Listening to her sobs, Sebastian drove to a restaurant and waited until she calmed down. "Get out of the car, eat first, then you can keep crying." Sebastian pulled her into the restaurant. Molly, still sniffling, asked, "What did Mom and Dad say to you?"

"They asked me what I thought of you. What about you?" Sebastian replied.

Molly felt wronged, "No one believes me."

In front of her was her favorite food, but she had no appetite. "How am I supposed to explain this to Shawn, Vincent, and Patrick?" Sebastian said, "If you agree to marry me, I'll handle the Olteran family for you."

Molly didn't say anything and took a few bites of food. But she was too anxious to eat and eventually, she was sent back to the hotel. Sebastian's phone rang again. This time he answered, hearing Ernest's voice. "From now on, I can't handle Molly's case anymore." Ernest sounded confused, "Weren't you always in my office, pestering me for the latest updates on the case?"

Sebastian said, "Before this, I wasn't her family. Now, I might be."
