The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride by Whispering Willow

Chapter 566 Sick and Recovered

"Alexis said Emma was the one supplying the drugs. She'd get the stuff, hit up nightclubs, and start squeezing

money out of rich folks. She'd take a cut of thirty percent from anyone who bought from her. Once she raked in

enough cash, Emma promised to help her move overseas," a subordinate reported. Sebastian knew this was

serious and headed to a colleague's office to confront another captain. "How did Emma get sent back here?"

"Alexis isn't in the loop on that and doesn't know. We've got people at the agreed spot, and everyone from the

drug video is in custody. She admitted this whole online mess started because they and Mrs. Olteran are sworn

enemies," the captain explained.

Emma had plans to keep making money, but everything fell apart when Alexis saw the video from back home.

She was pissed that Vera was living it up, and she felt bad for Emma. Patrick almost becher brother-in-law

once. To show her loyalty, she sent the video back to Emma.

Patrick was the most important person in Emma's life. For years, she dreamed of standing beside him, basking in

his power and love. But then Vera showed up and took everything she wanted.

She watched the video, seeing the back she had dreamed of countless nights, and in his arms was his and Vera's

son!

Emma lost it. She zoomed in on the video, staring at Theodore's face, her nails almost piercing the screen.

She was consumed with hatred. "Alexis, we can't let Vera gloat like this, can we?"

In another dark and shady corner, Jeffrey also zoomed in on Theodore's face.

Jeffrey sat on the couch, looking at the screenshot he had saved.

It was Theodore lying on Patrick's shoulder, with a chubby, healthy, and cute face.

His scarred hand held the phone, looking at Theodore on the screen, his palm clenched tightly. Jeffrey had been

staring at that photo for a long ttoday.

He couldn't forget the pain Patrick caused him. Nor could he forget how the Olteran family ruined the Turner

family's life, forcing him to live like a rat in the sewer.

Half a pack of cigarettes was already smoked on the table, and his scruffy beard covered his face.

He thought of Emily's daughter, Aleah Turner, who was born before Theodore but still looked like a one-month-

old. She was thin and pitiful because of poor conditions during birth, her health was bad, and she often got sick.

In contrast, Theodore seemed to grow up in a warm cradle, making him extremely resentful.

Emily had also been acting more and more off lately. She was in a daze, her reactions slow, and when Aleah was

less than a month old, she just sat there watching Aleah cry from hunger without any reaction. Jeffrey knew she

was sick, but he wouldn't let her get treatment.

Because she needed to take care of Aleah. If she went for treatment, Aleah would be left to him, and he didn't

know how to take care of a child. Plus, if Emily went for treatment, she would most likely fall into the hands of

the Olteran family. But what Jeffrey didn't expect was that so many people wanted to mess with Patrick.

It wasn't just him; there were others in the mix.

Jeffrey let out a sinister smile. "Looks like the Olteran family has a lot more enemies than just me."

By chance, his eyes landed on Alexis, who had been nabbed by the cops.

And right behind Alexis was Emma, sharing the senemy as him.

It was Jeffrey who had sent Emma away back then, and he didn't realize he'd given himself a golden opportunity.

Late at night in a foreign country, Emma was wide awake. She hadn't slept since Alexis got arrested. Her

impulsiveness had wrecked the domestic drug market. She never thought Alexis would record those drug use

videos as evidence, which then got leaked by someone and went viral.

One by one, those people got arrested, and Alexis couldn't keep her mouth shut. She wouldn't last long under

police grilling and would spill everything.

Emma was drowning in regret. She should've held back and not let Alexis go online to get back at Vera. She

regretted even more not knowing Alexis would record videos.

As she drowned her sorrows in alcohol, an unknown call cin.

Emma stared at the phone, too scared to answer.

After a while, a message popped up: [Turner!]

Emma finally picked up. "Who is this?"

Jeffrey's voice cthrough. "Did you leak the news about the Tooker Group's bankruptcy?"

Emma got cautious. "Jeffrey? What do you want?"

Jeffrey chuckled darkly. "I'm here to help you."

Meanwhile, the Olteran family was dealing with Molly going missing again.

At the police station, Molly was always bugging Sebastian, giving him a headache.

After Molly found out the truth about Alexis, she stormed into Sebastian's office, cursing out Emma and Alexis.

Patrick also knew what Emma and Alexis had done. "They're insignificant."

Randall was standing next to Patrick, listening to him on the phone.

He was cowed by Patrick's authority. Every morning these days, he had to be Patrick's driver, chauffeuring him

around, and was also forced to work at the Olteran Group.

The call was from Sebastian. "What did you find out?" Patrick asked.

"I sent someone to the address Susan gave, and there were signs of someone living there, but they had a strong

sense of counter-surveillance. By the twe got there, they had already bailed," Sebastian said. "There's one

person I'm suspicious of."

Patrick nodded. "It's him."

Molly's voice chimed in, "Sebastian, are you talking about Jeffrey?"

Patrick heard Molly's voice on the other end. "Let Molly take the call."

Molly, who had been blatantly eavesdropping with her cheek next to Sebastian's ear, got startled.

Sebastian turned and saw Molly's profile. He handed the phone to her. "Your turn."

Molly pouted, "Sebastian, I'm hard of hearing."

Patrick's voice cthrough loud and clear. "If you're having trouble hearing, maybe you should consider

getting a cochlear implant."

Molly quickly took the phone and put it to her ear, saying sweetly, "Patrick, as soon as | heard your voice, my

hearing suddenly recovered."
