The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride

Sebastian had been keeping tabs on the recent activities of the Olteran Group. He speculated and asked, "Patrick, do you want Vertex Innovations Group to become the next Morales Group?" Patrick pointed Vera towards his lounge. Despite her reluctance, Vera obediently took her water bottle and went to the break room.

Patrick affirmed, "Yes."

Sebastian remarked, "The addition of more subsidiary groups may heighten your risks, given the potential for increased complexity in overseeing and aligning operations throughout the company." Patrick smiled. He was used to having everything under control and wouldn't take risks without absolute certainty. "Besides you, who knows that Vertex Innovations Group is the next Morales Group?"

The Morales Group was now a dominant force, a large enterprise with an annual income of hundreds of billions of dollars. Recently, it had just merged with the Tooker Group. Everyone knew it had close ties with the Olteran Group, but no one knew that Ulysses listened to Patrick.

The Morales Group wielded significant power, but Ulysses remained open to Patrick's input and had not yet broached the idea of breaking away from the Olteran Group's influence to pursue independent growth.

"Who are you planning to hand it over to this time?" Sebastian speculated whether he would let Randall take the reins.

However, Patrick's decision surprised Sebastian. "Sophia will take over."

Sebastian was taken aback. "Aren't you afraid she'll betray you?"

Patrick chuckled, "She won't, and she wouldn't dare."

Despite the laughter, Sebastian detected a sense of authority in his voice. Indeed, no one dared to cross Patrick.

Sebastian reached the police station, having just ended a call with Patrick.

"Mr. Chase, we just got another call from Dennis' school. Emily's parents, Nicole and Richard Robinson, were causing a scene again. The school wants us to come over," a team member rushed over and updated Sebastian.

Because the police were investigating Emily's whereabouts, they went to her hometown. As a result, Nicole and Richard learned about Emily's scandal. In a fit of rage, they went to the university, causing a commotion at the administration office every day, demanding an explanation.

The school had no choice but to call the police to mediate.

In the meantime, rumors were buzzing among the students.

"I heard Emily wanted to get into grad school and Mr. Turner had a spot for her. Could she be following him for that?"

"Not a chance. I think she's after Mr. Turner's money. Think about it-he's got a fortune. If she's with him, and they have a kid, once he's out of the picture, all that money goes to her and the kid."

"You guys don't know, do you? Mr. Turner committed a crime and got arrested."

"Really? Where did you hear that?"

"Have you noticed that Mr. Turner used to be on our school's list of outstanding teachers every year? But this year, he's nowhere to be found on the school's website."

A group of students was having this open discussion, and Jeffrey, sitting at a nearby table with a baseball cap pulled low, overheard every word clearly.

Jeffrey pulled his cap lower. He had only taken a few bites before he put on his mask and left.

He had been missing for a long time, and the police were searching for him citywide.

The police were also looking for Emily, whom he had taken with him.

Moreover, Sebastian seized all of Dennis's assets.

Emily, realizing the gravity of the situation, was in tears every day. She wanted to leave; she was terrified.

Emily had gained nothing from being with Dennis.

But Jeffrey couldn't let Emily go. If she returned to the city and the Olteran family got their hands on her child, what chance would the child have at survival?

Despite Emily's crying, Jeffrey's only demand was, "Have the baby."

Previously, Jeffrey could take her to unregistered clinics for check-ups. Now, even the areas around unregistered clinics were monitored, and he didn't dare to take risks. So, he locked Emily in the house while he went out alone, keeping a close eye on Zandonick's movements.

Unexpectedly, Alan had offended both the Chase family and the Olteran family, which surprised him.

At the hospital, Jeffrey went straight to Alan's room. He pushed the door open and saw Alan, wrapped in white bandages, lying on the bed. "Who are you?"

Jeffrey took off his hat and mask. "Mr. Miller, do you still remember me?"

Alan looked at Jeffrey's face, which seemed both familiar and strange. Suddenly, it hit him. "You!" Jeffrey had previously met with him privately to discuss Dennis and Jerry.

Jeffrey glanced at Alan's injuries. "Who hit you so hard?"

Alan looked at Jeffrey. "Aren't you wanted? What are you doing here?"

Jeffrey sat down and looked at Alan's face. "Mr. Miller. I heard you were recently retaliated against by Patrick and Sebastian. We have common enemies, so I naturally came to visit." As Patrick and Sebastian were mentioned, Alan's face contorted with intense hatred.

"I'm here to propose a deal that will be highly beneficial to you," Jeffrey said, his smile sly.

"What deal?" Alan asked.

Jeffrey's eyes gleamed with cunning. "A deal that can get Patrick thrown in jail and pull Sebastian down from his position as deputy leader."

Alan was intrigued. He was struggling to figure out how to retaliate against Sebastian and Patrick. When Jeffrey approached him, he was eager to hear his plan.

"There's someone in the ICU on the third floor who was almost beaten to death by Patrick. I'll go kill him, and you call the police."

Alan was puzzled. "What do you mean?"

Jeffrey glanced at Alan, feeling disdain, but realizing he needed his cooperation for now, he suppressed his contempt. "I'll handle the killing. You just need to remember to call the police and make sure the incident causes a big commotion. Let everyone know that Dylan in the ICU on the third floor was violently kicked to death by Patrick! Promote it vigorously, emphasizing that capitalists view human lives as dispensable and can kill whoever they want, sparking public outrage. "By then, the police won't sit idly by and will even send people to arrest Patrick. Once the police take action, Sebastian will inevitably offend the Olteran family. The relationship between the Chase family and the Olteran family will naturally deteriorate. Do you think Sebastian, a mere squad leader, will have a good end after offending the Olteran Group?

"If Sebastian chooses to do nothing, his police career will be over. With such a big incident of Patrick killing someone, how could his superiors let him off!"

"Why do you say this is beneficial to me in every way?" Alan asked.

Jeffrey despised Alan even more. If he had someone else to cooperate, he wouldn't even consider Alan.

He deceived Alan, emphasizing only the benefits to Alan. "I'm the one doing the killing, it has nothing to do with you. In this incident, at most, you just made a call to the police. When those two finally face retribution, won't it be exactly what you and I want?"

Alan believed Jeffrey's words and asked, "When should I call the police?"

"Don't waste any time. Call the police within half an hour."

After speaking, Jeffrey got up, put on his hat and mask, and left the room.

Alan lay in bed, thinking about Jeffrey's words. No matter what, he had to try. For the sake of his company's revenge and his own injuries, he was determined to seek retribution against Patrick and Sebastian! Anyway, this incident wouldn't harm him in any way.
