Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 375

Even the ever-calm Coleen looked at her daughter with a shocked expression.

Unlike Mia and Leo, who had long grown used to Molly's sharp tongue, Coleen was taken aback. If Molly wasn't a sharp-shooter, she wouldn't be Molly.

The first time Coleen saw her daughter's skill, she wanted to praise her, but she also wondered how she had raised her daughter to have such a temperament.

Aiden and Jack's faces turned purple with rage.

She had absolutely embarrassed them.

They were waiting for her downfall in the business world later.

Molly rolled her eyes internally. When Aiden and Jack were trying to smooth things over with her, had they put her into considerations?

If she denied it gently, in the eyes of others, they might take it as her being shyly admitting it. She had to respond firmly. If there was mud on her, she needed to wash it off immediately. It would be difficult to clean up her image once she left this place.

In this way, she was indeed like Coleen.

It was eventually the old man Don, who had organized the dinner, who stepped in to mediate the situation. What had started as a simple meal now had everyone aware of the Byrne family daughter's character - she was not someone to be messed with.

Chad brought Leo to a quiet diner. In the hustle and bustle of the summer, this place was a peaceful haven.

As they ate, Leo suddenly asked, "Chad, you know that my aunt isn't your real sister, so why are you so good to her?"

"I treat her like my real sister," Chad replied.

Leo pressed on, "But if she wanted to marry you, what would you do?"

He stopped eating, his gaze fixed on Chad, hoping to glean something from his reaction.

Unexpectedly, Chad continued eating and casually asked, "Did Molly tell you this?"

Leo couldn't read anything from Chad's face. "No, I guessed. If my aunt really wanted to marry you, considering how much you spoil her, would you let her become your wife?"

"Probably."

Leo was shocked.

Damn, was Mia right again?!

Mia, who was currently pregnant, often tried to get her baby to kick. But the little one was quite aloof and wouldn't respond to her efforts.

The frustrated Mia often found herself looking at her belly as she walked.

Naomi, noticing her odd behavior, laughed and told Mia, "You're just too idle, always paying attention to your belly."

Upon hearing this, Hansen called out, "Mia, come here, come play a game with me."

Andre had been away on business for several days. Mia couldn't focus on TV or games.

"Dad, isn't signing contracts usually quick? Why has my husband been away so long and not returned yet?"

Hansen explained, "Who told you signing contracts is easy? Andre has to build a network over there. It's not as easy as you think. If the company doesn't have a complete leadership framework, Andre might be out for a month or even half a year."

The oblivious Mia rubbed her head in frustration, "If my husband really leaves for half a year, by the time he returns, our son will already be a month old."

"Don't worry, Andre definitely won't be gone for a long time. Otherwise, he would take you with him."

With her husband away, Mia was feeling lonely and often asked herself, "Why am I so clingy?"

During the day, Andre was working, so she couldn't disturb her husband. She would only video call him in the evening once she was sure he was at the hotel.

As night fell, Mia picked up her phone and headed upstairs.

The dinner party had also ended, and Kendrick was waiting downstairs for his wife and daughter.

He had dinner, took a walk to the hotel, and then drove back home with his wife and daughter.

Coleen had had a couple of drinks.

Jack offered to escort the mother-daughter duo,

Chad and Leo were still at a café, looking through some documents.

The more they read, the more Chad suspected the Mastin family was involved in some criminal activities. "Leo," he said, "you rest at home tomorrow. I'll go out of town to investigate."

Ellory and Kyle had been sent to live in West Meadows after moving out of Havenbrook.

It was getting late, so the two of them left the café.

After they left, a black car slowly drove out of the alley.

Tom watched Chad's departing figure, turning to the older man behind him, "Boss, Chad's on to the Mastins."

As law enforcement officers, their phones all had a tracking system. From the moment Chad contacted Donnie, Mr. Marlow was privy to it.

Inside the precinct, everyone knew Donnie was Chad's right-hand man. If he needed help, Donnie would be the first one he'd turn to.

Monitoring Donnie meant they could keep an eye on Chad.

To their surprise, he was digging into a sixteen-year-old kidnapping case, even getting Donnie to dig up old dirt on the Mastin Corporation.

Finley watched the disappearing vehicle, "Tom, it's your time to shine again."

…

When Leo got home, he stopped halfway, calling Andre to update him on the latest developments.

Upon reaching home, Chad found Molly already asleep on the couch, fresh from a bath.

"Auntie, why didn't Molly go back to her room? Why is she sleeping on the couch?" Chad asked the housemaid.

The maid replied, "Miss said she was waiting for you to come back. She said she had something to tell you, but she fell asleep as soon as she lay down."

Chad walked over and saw his sister sleeping soundly with her arms wrapped around the backrest. He bent down, gently took the backrest from her arms, and then grabbed her by the arms, allowing her to put her arms around his neck. He placed his arms behind her back and around her legs, and then lifted her up in one swift motion.

As he looked at her sleeping restlessly, Chad stood in the living room without moving a bit, his eyes filled with affection as he gazed at her.
