The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride by Whispering Willow

Chapter 244 Fiery Temperament In a three-minute phone call, Glen's expression turned from pale to dark. By the the hung up, his eyes were bulging as if they could pop out. He said to Patrick, "Mr. Olteran." Patrick remained as composed as ever. "Looks like you got a call from the company." Glen's momentum weakened because Patrick had him over a barrel.

He said, "Mr. Olteran, about the Morales Group partnership..." Patrick smiled and said casually, "The Morales Group has been supporting the Tooker family for fifteen years. It's tto give new enterprises a chance." The Morales Group was a partner of the Tooker Group. Fifteen years ago, after Patrick saved him, the Olteran family introduced the Morales family as a connection to show their gratitude.

The Morales Group used to be a small company under the Olteran Group. Later, it separated but still maintained a relationship with the Olteran Group.

All these years, Glen thought the Morales Group had beca big enterprise beyond Patrick's control.

But unexpectedly, Patrick dared to risk a few hundred million dollars in breach penalties to terminate the contract directly.

The Morales Group wasn't short of partners, but Glen was.

Patrick said, "You are so busy that you don't have tfor guests, and you also called Mrs. Olteran Ms. Linister. Seems like you're too busy. Lethelp relieve sof your work pressure. No need to thank me. The Tooker Group is already a mature enterprise and doesn't need my support anymore." Patrick stood up, holding Vera's small hand, ready to leave.

Glen quickly stood up and blocked Patrick's way. "Patrick, don't be so ruthless." "Ruthless?" Patrick glanced at Randall and then at the phone on the table. "I thought you were sensible, but I didn't expect you to accuse Randall andof disrupting your business over a broken cup, detain Randall like a criminal, and confiscate his phone. Who's being ruthless here?" Glen immediately picked up the phone from the table and handed it to Randall.

Randall took it.

Emma knew what the Morales Group meant to the Tooker family. She walked over and tried to grab Patrick's left wrist with both hands.

Patrick anticipated Emma's move and pulled Vera to his left side.

Emma's outstretched hand paused in mid-air.

Vera asked, "What do you want? To grab my husband? If you dare touch him today, I'll cut off your hands, believe it or not." Emma was furious. "Get out of the way. Don't blockfrom talking to Patrick." Vera said angrily, "Emma, are you out of your mind? I can't even stand talking to you for one more second." Emma bypassed Vera and stood in front of Patrick, blocking his way. "Patrick, you can't withdraw the Morales Group. You're pushing our family to a dead end. Didn't my father saving you count for more than fifteen years of gratitude?" Vera said to Emma, "Your family is totally graceless.." Randall added, "Yeah, utterly shameless." Patrick said, "A dog that's been around for a long twill look pleasing to its owner. If the dog is starving, do you think the owner won't help?" After saying that, Patrick gave Glen a meaningful look and then left with Vera and Randall.

Glen stared at Patrick in shock.

Inside, Emma asked Glen, "Dad, what did he mean just now? Will Patrick help us?" Glen hadn't recovered from the shock.

In the Rolls-Royce, Patrick started the car and drove away.

Halfway, Patrick told Randall, "Throw the phone away." Randall formatted the phone. When the car reached a remote area, he opened the window and tossed the phone out.

Patrick and Randall were worried the phone might have been tampered with.

Vera then asked Randall, "How did you get caught?" Randall said, "I don't know when I was being watched. As soon as I got to the store, the clerk accusedof breaking a coffee cup and tookto a room. Only then did I realize they had set a trap for me." Vera asked, "Who were they?" Randall replied, "I don't know, but it definitely wasn't someone from the Tooker family. When they handedover, the Tooker family butler was very deferential to that person." Patrick drove in silence.

Patrick was deep in thought, while Vera chatted happily with Randall in the back seat.

Randall said, "Vera, you were on fire today. Even a machine gun couldn't attack as well as you." Vera replied, "Patrick toldhe suspects the Tooker family was involved in the kidnapping fifteen years ago. I have no reason to be polite to them. Besides, from what I saw today, they're not good people." "Her father pretends to be powerful but is actually incompetent and likes to think of himself as important. Before Patrick stepped in, he was arrogant and wanted you to apologize for humiliating our Olteran family. In the end, he only brought trouble upon himself." "And Emma, she's arrogant and self-righteous, utterly out of her mind. You can't let people like that walk all over you, or they'll keep causing trouble. If I were weak, do you think she wouldn't try to steal my husband?" Randall admired Vera greatly. He clapped for her in the car. "It's been a long tsince I've seen you scold someone so sharply. Patrick probably saw it for the first time. I wonder if he was scared." Vera said, "Patrick has seenargue several times. In the first month after we got married, I spent every day like this with your mother." Cindy and Vera didn't end up with one dead and one injured, which Randall found miraculous.

On the way home, Vera looked at Patrick's handsprofile and felt unhappy. It was this face thatbrought her so many love rivals.

"Honey, leven did my hair for you. For me, could you disfigure your face a bit?" Back at the Olteran family home, Shawn looked at Patrick and Vera in surprise. "How did you cback so quickly?" Vera replied, "Tired." Cindy asked, "Was the car ride too long?" Randall added, "She's tired from arguing." Vera asked about Molly's whereabouts. After finding out, she went straight to her room with her luggage.

Patrick told Randall, "Change your clothes and cout with me." Randall went to his bedroom.

Cindy asked Randall where he had been last night. He had not chome. Randall made up a lie to avoid worrying Cindy.

Ten minutes later, Patrick went to the bedroom to tell Vera where he was C going. "I'm taking Randall to meet lan White. You stay hand adjust your sleep schedule. Don't worry." Vera said, "Okay, don't drink." Patrick replied, "Alright, I promise." Vera hung up their clean clothes and sorted the dirty ones into the laundry basket.

At the Cloudwing Hotel.

lan arrived when Patrick and Randall were already there.

"Good things don't cmy way; only trouble does," lan complained.

He closed the door and sat in front of Patrick and Randall. "Go ahead."

Molly later found out that Randall had been detained by the Tooker family, who were also Vera's love rivals and e as Alexis's relatives. They might have even been involved in the kidnapping incident fifteen years ago. Molly planned to take action.
