Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 381

“Why?”

“Because you tend to complicate things more than help. Just visit Chad at the hospital after work and focus on your job at the office. I’m busy too,” Mia replied.

“Mia, you’re such an idler. What could you possibly be busy with?”

“My husband just got back yesterday and I haven’t even sorted out his laundry. I need to sort it out, wash what needs to be washed and hang what needs to be hanged.” Mia sat on the couch, leaning back, and began opening her husband’s suitcase.

“Even you have become a good housewife. I really need to reflect on my life,” Molly said.

“Go ahead. I hope you find your answers soon.”

The sisters ended their call. Each of them started dealing with their own business.

After Andre returned home, he found himself once again helping his wife with the rumors. That piece of news had already spread far and wide. He couldn’t allow it to escalate further and be used by external forces. When the time was right, Andre ordered his people to suppress the news.

Brian was still being investigated at the police station, so the Marshal family’s stock prices plummeted again, causing Brian to age overnight.

Jillian noticed that something was amiss in her family. Ever since the Cedillo family stopped funding their business, her life had changed drastically. In addition to her reduced spending, her relatives who used to bow and grovel before her were now brazenly bossing her around. She even wanted to marry someone powerful to share the risks. She wanted someone who could protect her and save the Marshal Group. But what Jillian couldn’t accept was that no prestigious families were willing to accept her anymore.

The men who had once hinted at marriage were now ignoring her. Even non-wealthy families were unwilling to accept her. She had to resort to seducing a young man from a business family. Before, she would never look twice at such people, as none of them could compare to Andre. But now, she had to make every effort to attract him.

However, not long after their relationship, the man broke up with her.

“Why, our relationship is going well, and I am your type. Why do you want to break up?” Jillian asked, feeling confused.

“My parents found out about us and they are against it.”

Jillian was filled with a rage, but she had to suppress. She knelt down gently, with her hand on the man’s leg. She was looking pitifully at him with tear-filled eyes. “Why do your parents dislike me? I can change to be the type they like for you.”

“Jillian, did you offend the Cedillo family?”

That question made everything clear to Jillian.

They were avoiding her not because the Marshal family wasn’t as prestigious as before, but because Hansen was pressuring her indirectly. After realizing this, Jillian knew she couldn’t marry into a wealthy family anymore, as they all feared the Cedillo family.

Not long after, she broke up with that man. Afterwards, she stopped meticulously choosing her targets.

Last time, when Andre instructed the Calder Corporation to terminate their collaboration, her father was caught off guard. Fortunately, she had people who could help the company overcome this difficulty. This time, her father found out that Wyatt and Mr. Marlow had been suspended. When he was taken away, his face showed a hint of fear and the desire to escape. Jillian had a strong feeling of unease. She had a premonition that her father was going to face trouble.

The day Andre returned to the office, he began to suppress the stock prices of the Marshal family and called the chairman of Calder Corporation at the right time.

The Cedillo Inc. and Calder Corporation had an inseparable relationship. The words of outsiders didn’t matter to Mr. Calder. The forty-something man only respected and listened to Andre.

When the Marshal Group was at its peak, it and Calder Corporation were both large corporations. However, since Calder Corporation was originally a spin-off from the Cedillo Group, it relied on the Cedillo Group and held a slightly higher position in the business world.

Andre took off his coat and tossed it carelessly onto the nearby couch, “Sure.”

Mia started to tease him again, “Honey, you should hang up your clothes when you take them off.”

After saying that, she picked up his coat and hung it up for him, patting his suit collar lightly. “It won’t look as good if it gets wrinkled.”

Andre was thoroughly enjoying his current lifestyle. Out in the world, he looked serious and cold. When people saw him, they were afraid of him and didn’t dare to approach him. But at home, when he looked at his little Mia, his face would light up with a smile that was as warm as a spring breeze and his eyes were always full of affection for her. He would indulge her every dream. Even when she criticized him or teased him, Andre would always smile. Listening to his wife’s nagging was a pleasure, which was a unique kind of happiness that only Mia could bring him.

After hanging up the coat, Mia, dressed in her new outfit, looked at her husband, “You’ve made more money again? You have such a good mood. You’re still smiling even after hearing my criticisms.”

“Do you still have any money left?”

For the first time, rich lady Mia pretended to be poor, “If I say no, will you give me some?”

Andre pointed to the coat he had just taken off, “Your birthday is the password to my bank account.”

Mia joyfully leaped into her husband’s arms, looking at him with a beaming smile, “Honey, you’re really handsome.”

Leaning against his tie cabinet, Andre held his little wife and asked her gently, “What makes me handsome?”

“The way you hand over money is the most handsome.”
