The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride

Chapter 597 Patrick's Pride



In the afternoon, The Rossi Group's appreciation banquet didn't go as planned, but the company's entrance was still buzzing with people looking for compensation. Ian asked, "How'd you know their shipment was smuggled? If you want the higher-ups to order a full investigation, you need proof. They won't just take your word for it." Patrick replied with two words, "Dark Web."

Ian was stunned, "You hacked into the Dark Web?"

Ian's shock was understandable. Years ago, the world's top computer teams had tried to break into the Dark Web to expose the hidden darkness.

But as soon as they launched their attack, they were immediately detected and counterattacked by those lurking in the shadows.

Some who weren't detected couldn't even find an entry point into the Dark Web.

Every year, thousands of hackers tried to infiltrate the Dark Web, but they all failed. Yet this time, someone succeeded!

Who was this hero?

And the Dark Web didn't even notice?

That was the most shocking part!

Not only was Ian shocked, but everyone else was too.

Patrick said, "It wasn't me."

Even Joshua chimed in, "Patrick, you have someone that skilled around you? Who is it?" Patrick thought of Randall, smiled proudly, and replied, "Yeah, and they're pretty good."

When it ended, Patrick turned off the screen, closed his laptop, and left the company.

Jack asked with concern, "Leaving so early, where are you going?"

"Vera gets out of school early today, I need to pick her up." After a few steps, Patrick turned and ordered Jack, "Contact the overseas third division now and prepare to supply the second division at any time." "Got it!" Jack replied quickly.

Patrick left the company and drove to the university town, waiting in his designated parking spot for Vera.

His phone rang; it was a call from the overseas second division. He answered.

"Should we increase the supply now? Many of The Rossi Family's clients have come to us," the head asked.

Patrick was silent for a moment, "How much is the market short?"

"A rough estimate? We're down about 500 tons," the head replied.

Patrick said, "Release..."

"Honey, you came to pick me up from school." A cheerful female voice rang in Patrick's ear, so joyful and excited that even the person on the other end of the call could hear it.

Vera hugged Patrick, "What are you doing, honey? Why didn't you kiss me when you saw me today?"

The overseas second division head was shocked inside, 'What did I just hear!'

Patrick said, "Vera, be good, sit down, I'm on a call."

Vera looked at Patrick's phone, tilted her head, and asked happily, "Is the call connected?"

Since school started, she didn't have to stay home with Theodore every day. Although she missed Theodore at school, she had to admit that it was really free and comfortable when she was alone. She hadn't felt this in a long time, and she was excited and happy every day after school.

"It's been connected the whole time," Patrick said.

Vera thought, 'So, they heard me being all lovey-dovey just now!'

Patrick switched the phone to his other hand, freeing his right hand to ruffle Vera's hair, which felt soft like petting a kitten.

Patrick instructed the person on the other end, "Release 200 tons to the market now to address the urgent need. No more releases today. We'll start releasing again tomorrow once we have a precise quantity."

Because Patrick was ruffling her hair, Vera raised her hand to swat his hand away, whispering, "Ruffling my hair will make me bald."

Patrick chuckled and continued his call.

"Should we raise the price?" At this time, scarcity drives up prices. Even a 30% increase would still be flooded by customers.

Patrick didn't hesitate, "No, sell at the original price." He needed to pave the way for the future market. While businessmen should be cunning, those who exploit crises didn't last long.

"Understood, I'll issue the order now." The overseas second division head couldn't hide his admiration, "Mr. Olteran, I've learned a lot from you this time."

After hanging up, Patrick put down his phone and gently held Vera's head, leaning in to kiss the lips that had just asked for a kiss.

Teddy was sent to Brianna and Warren's to adapt to life today.

When they went to pick up Theodore, they could hear his heart-wrenching cries from outside the house.

Vera rushed in, holding the sweat-drenched, crying Theodore, "Not drinking formula milk made you cry like this?"

Soon, Patrick also came in, seeing Theodore's tear-streaked face, his throat bobbed with a bit of heartache.

Brianna shook Theodore's milk bottle and complained to them, though her tone was full of affection for Theodore, "In my life, I've never seen one so hard to please. He only drank half a bottle formula milk when he was starving, refusing the rest."

Vera skillfully unbuttoned her shirt and sat down to breastfeed Theodore.

Patrick took the formula bottle and said, "I'll bring her to the company tomorrow."

Brianna couldn't handle it, and even with ten nannies, they would probably be at a loss.

Vera said, "Alright, you can feed him."

In the evening, after having dinner at the Linister family and chatting with Brianna and Warren for a while, Patrick took Vera and Theodore back to Cherry Villa.

That night, Theodore's self-rocking crib was placed in the trunk by Patrick.

Vera looked at the sleeping Theodore in her arms, switching arms after holding him for a while.

Theodore was asleep, so Vera didn't bathe him, just gently wiped him down and put him to bed.

The next day, Patrick went to the company, once again holding Theodore.

It was quite a surprise that he didn't cry this time.

Because Theodore was lying in Patrick's arms, having a sweet dream!
