Chapter 241
On the eve of Andre's departure, he called Leo into the study with Mia and gave him an assignment.
"I've already sent you Noah's phone number. He will send you a list of all the small and medium-sized
companies under the Marshal Group later. Just like Obsidian Cafe that we investigated last time, you
need to find out the true controllers behind these companies."
Leo curiously asked, "Andre, why have you been having me investigate the Marshal family all along?"
Andre replied, "I want to investigate Molly's kidnapping incident from years ago. I can't personally get
involved now, and I don't trust anyone else either. The company's subordinates are too specialized,
making it easy for people to notice any flaws. You're still a student, with a sharp mind and without the
stigma of society. You can adapt on the fly, so I don't have to worry."
Even if Leo was discovered by someone, he was Andre's nephew, and they wouldn't dare to easily
harm him.
Leo suddenly understood, "Andre, are you saying that the Marshal family orchestrated Molly's
kidnapping case?"
Andre shook his head. "The chairman of the Marshal family is a very cautious person. Even if he has
ulterior motives, he wouldn't dare to act recklessly. Without powerful support behind him, he would
never have succeeded."
Leo asked again, "Is it Officer Rubin?"
Andre replied, "Officer Rubin is just a minor character. Fifteen years ago, he hadn't even entered
politics yet. Moreover, with his position and power, he is far from being considered the backing of the
Marshal family."
"So, are there other people behind it?"
Andre nodded.
After finishing his briefing to Leo, Andre set off for the airport with Mia the next day.
...
Molly didn't stay with the Cedillo family but returned to the Byrne family. At home, she roamed around
in her pajamas without feeling embarrassed.
The Cedillo family had many servants, both male and female, as well as two unfamiliar older brothers.
Molly didn't dare to step out of the house in her pajamas and made sure to dress appropriately every
day.
But it was different at the Byrne family. She could stay in her pajamas all the time, even when going out
to collect deliveries. She would simply throw on a large coat over her pajamas, completely
unconcerned about her appearance.
When Chad drove home, he saw Molly in her familiar bunny pajamas. "Molly, get in the car."
"Chad, why are you back so early today?"
Molly opened the car door and immediately got in. Her ankles were starting to ache from the cold. But
she was too lazy, not even willing to put on socks.
Chad scolded her a few times, but Molly didn't listen at all.
The two siblings were arguing at home about whether she should wear socks when going out to pick
up packages, and their father, Mr. Kendrick, overheard them.
So the next day, Mr. Kendrick bought a pair of boots for his daughter and also picked up a pair of shoes
for his wife. Now, with the boots he bought, he resolved the argument between the siblings. These
boots not only protected the ankles but also didn't require wearing socks, killing two birds with one
stone.
"Dad, how did you know my shoe size?"
"Last year, your mom bought you a pair of sneakers that you didn't like, and they ended up becoming
your mom's shoes. Since you and your mom can wear the same shoes, your shoe sizes must be the
same. If I don't know my daughter's shoe size, at least I should know how big my wife's feet are."
Coleen had a look of happiness on her face. "Your father is always idle. I've been so busy lately, and he
even has time to go shopping for shoes for us to wear. Molly, when you graduate, try being a civil
servant instead of working for a company."
Molly linked her arm with Mr. Kendrick's. "Dad, did you hear that? You spend money and get criticized.
You buy shoes for my mom, and she still finds fault with you for being idle."
Mr. Kendrick replied, "I am a real man, and I don't argue with women."
Coleen pushed her husband lightly. "Real man, go to the kitchen and help me wash the vegetables. I'm
going to cook for your children." Mr. Kendrick got up and went to the kitchen.
Watching the interaction between her parents, Molly felt grateful countless times that she lived in a
happy family.
During dinner, she asked, "Mom and Dad, why didn't you call me home when I stayed at the Cedillo
family for so long?"
Coleen replied, "If we want to see you, we just go directly to the Cedillo family. If we call you home,
then I would have to worry about your meals. The Cedillo family has many people, and you have
friends there. You won't go hungry or feel lonely, and we can also take a break."
Molly said, "But you haven't come to the Cedillo family to see me either."
"If we go, it means we miss you. If we don't go, it means we don't miss you."
Molly was speechless.
Where did Coleen, who was initially unwilling to let her go and cried uncontrollably, with tears streaming
down her face and unable to speak clearly, disappear to?
In the following days, Molly realized that Coleen seemed to no longer care about her.
She finally managed to go out and wanted to go shopping for new clothes. Mia was taken away by her
husband, and she went to Chade Inc. to find her mother.
"Molly, I'll give you money, you can go by yourself. I'm too busy, don't have time to accompany you."
"Then I'll wait for you after work," Molly replied.
"Don't bother me at the office, Naomi has time, and she has good taste. Go shopping with her," Coleen
suggested.
Molly and Naomi weren't familiar enough to go shopping together, so she went to the police station.
"Chad, I want to go shopping, accompany me," she said.
Chad didn't even look up and said, "I'm busy, find someone else."
"Mom won't accompany me, Mia isn't home, and Leo won't answer my calls."
Chad was annoyed by the noise in his ear, and he pointed to the couch, saying, "Sit there and wait for
me for three hours."
Molly sat down, determined not to waste these three hours. She opened her phone and opened a
shopping app. In just three hours, her "to be received" items showed 18, and the "to be shipped" items
showed 5.
Chad looked at the shopping record and asked, "Do you still need to go shopping?"
"Yes. I have two homes, two wardrobes. I don't have enough clothes, and it's not fair to my wardrobes."
"The clothes at home can't fit anymore. You can transfer some to the Cedillo family."
"Mom said she would donate the clothes I don't wear, so I have to buy more."
Overall, she was dead set to make him accompany her to go shopping for clothes.
Chad changed his clothes and held her hand as they walked out of the police station. He knew that his
bank account balance wouldn't be safe.
On the way, Chad asked Molly, "Where did Mia go? She hasn't come back for so long."
Molly replied, "She went abroad to get vaccinated, the same nine-valent vaccine you took me to get.
Havenbrook doesn't have the vaccine anymore, so Andre took her abroad."
Chad commented, "Andre really has deep feelings for her, even in the busiest time of the year, he still
took her abroad for the vaccine."
"It's not just liking her, it's true love. He almost has controlled her life. She's not allowed to go out after 8
pm, and we're not allowed to disturb her. The next day, Mia can sleep until noon. As for what she did
last night, I think I don't need to say more, and you should understand." NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
Chad said, "...Molly, you're a girl, and I'm your brother."
"What's wrong? I didn't say anything inappropriate." Molly didn't feel embarrassed and thought she
hadn't said anything wrong.
Chad pinched her face with one hand and said, "Don't say such things in the future."
He didn't really hurt her; it was just a warning.
Molly said, "Stop pretending, I don't believe you don't understand."
Chad lightly tapped Molly's back with his hand.
