The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride by Whispering Willow

Chapter 250 Vera Almost Couldn't Hold It Together The guests at the party all knew that Patrick was making his first public appearance with Vera.

Everyone's eyes subtly shifted to Patrick and Vera.

Without a doubt, Vera was the center of attention today.

If it weren't for the fact that the man standing next to Vera was Patrick, there would probably be quite a few men approaching her. However, since Vera was Patrick's wife, no one dared to strike up a conversation.

"Con, I'll introduce you to the host of today's party," Patrick said, holding Vera as they prepared to walk.

Vera said, "Patrick, I haven't found my rival yet." Patrick was curious. In the car earlier, Vera had mentioned she was here to find a rival. Where did this rival cfrom? He asked, "Who is it?" "I should be asking you," Vera questioned Patrick, "Who is your best female friend?" Patrick himself didn't know he had a best female friend.

Vera recounted everything Shawn had said to her that day, then fiercely questioned Patrick, "Who exactly is this woman?" After hearing this, Patrick laughed. Vera was jealous again.

He said, "Silly girl, you didn't even realize you were tricked by Shawn." Vera was surprsied. "What?" Patrick cupped Vera's face in his hands and looked into her eyes. "My father wanted to show you off, but I wanted to keep you hidden. He used the thing you care about most to trick you into attending this party to achieve his goal." Vera's face scrunched up. "Showoff for what?" Patrick looked Vera up and down. She probably didn't even realize how beautiful she was.

Patrick said, "Vera, do you know how beautiful you are?" Vera's face turned red with embarrassment. How could Patrick suddenly compliment her in front of everyone? Warren and Brianna also heard that Vera and Patrick had arrived.

Warren and Brianna cover. "Vera, Patrick." "Mom, Dad!" Vera turned and saw Warren and Brianna, immediately abandoning Patrick to go to her parents. Brianna asked, "What were you two talking about?" Vera replied, "Nothing much. Patrick was praisingfor my beauty." Patrick coughed awkwardly. Brianna looked at Vera today. She usually thought of her as a child who hadn't grown up, but today, she realized Vera was already an adult, stunningly beautiful, and someone else's wife. "Have you gone to see Jackson?" Warren asked Patrick.

Patrick replied, "We just cin and saw many familiar faces. We were about to go over and greet." Brianna couldn't help but remind Vera, "Be polite when you go over, speak gently. The Roberts family and the Olteran family have been friends for decades." Vera replied, "I know, Mom. I'll be polite to them." Patrick took Vera's hand and left.

Brianna watched Vera's departing figure, feeling a mix of emotions.

When Vera met Jackson and Sabrina from the Roberts family, she greeted them sweetly in a decent manner..

Sabrina praised her, "Shawn has a good eye. Both daughters-in-law he chose are very likable. Cindy is capable, and Vera is sweet." With one sentence, Sabrina praised everyone in the Olteran family. On the surface, she complimented Shawn and his two daughters-in-law, but indirectly, she also praised Vincent and Patrick for being lucky. Having spent twith Vera, the Olteran family naturally knew that "sweet" was Vera's disguise.

Vera smiled sweetly at Jackson and Sabrina from the Roberts family and said, "My father is the best person in our family." Shawn began to feel proud.

Then Vera added, "My father never lies to us or tries to stir up trouble between us." Shawn thought, "Why does this tone sound so off?" Suddenly, Shawn remembered his lie and felt guilty.

Shawn quickly changed the subject, steering the conversation toward Molly.

When Molly was mentioned, the Roberts family naturally thought of Timothy and his stubborn son Sebastian.

"I heard that Sebastian recently had Glen arrested. Someone even recorded a video and released it as news." Patrick glanced at Vera, one of the masterminds behind the scenes.

Vera pretended not to understand.

Shawn was also puzzled. "He was released the sday he was taken. When I arrived earlier, I saw Glen mingling with people. This incident has had a significant impact on their company." Vera couldn't control herself. "Shawn, you said Glen is here too?" Shawn nodded. "Yes, he was in the front hall earlier. Didn't you see him? Oh, right, you don't know him." Vera almost lost her composure. "What? Of course, I know him. He must have been hiding from me, afraid I'd scold him again." Patrick quickly coughed to remind Vera to restrain herself.

Vera got the hint and bit her tongue lightly, feeling embarrassed and unsure of what to say next.

Patrick said to Cindy, "Cindy, Vera just mentioned she wanted to go to the restroom. Could you take her?" Cindy agreed and reached out to Vera. "Vera, cwith me." Vera handed her hand to Cindy and was led away.

Not long after they left, Cindy was called away by an acquaintance.

Coincidentally, Vera didn't really want to go to the restroom, so now she was completely free.

Taking advantage of the lack of supervision, Vera sneaked into the banquet hall.

Inside, guests were mingling and chatting, creating a lively atmosphere.

Earlier, Vera had been looking for her rival. Now, she started searching for her arch-enemy, Glen.

Suddenly, someone in the southwest corner of the banquet hall caught Vera's attention.

Vera smirked. "Get ready, Glen." Glen was happily chatting with a few people when an uninvited guest approached. "What a coincidence, Glen." Hearing the voice, Glen had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, when he turned around, he saw Vera's smiling face, which made him feel very nervous.

Vera loudly asked in the crowd, "Glen, when did you get out of jail? I was when you were taken really curious when you by the economic investigation away by team. I was thinking of finding an opportunity to visit you in jail, but here you are. So, Glen, tell me, why were you suddenly arrested?" Everyone in the hall was watching.

Warren and Brianna also looked at Vera.

As Warren and Brianna were about to step forward, Vera asked again, "I saw on the news that the Tooker Group is on the verge of bankruptcy, facing a financial crisis, and is about to be acquired. Is that true? And why did the Morales Group suddenly terminate their partnership with you?" People around them instinctively distanced themselves from Glen. No one wanted to get involved in Glen's affairs.

Glen felt the intentional avoidance of those around him, and the veins on his forehead bulged with anger.

Glen had spent thirty minutes trying om to convince these people that his company's finances were fine and hoping to secure scooperation. However, in just three minutes, Vera had destroyed all his efforts! Warren noticed that Vera seemed to be enmeshed with the Tooker family. He grabbed Brianna's hand to stop her from proceeding and said, "Let's wait and see."
