Sweet Mischief's Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 241

On the eve of Andre's departure, he called Leo into the study with Mia and gave him an assignment. "I've already sent you Noah's phone number. He will send you a list of all the small and medium-sized companies under the Marshal Group later. Just like Obsidian Cafe that we investigated last time, you need to find out the true controllers behind these companies."

Leo curiously asked, "Andre, why have you been having me investigate the Marshal family all along?"

Andre replied, "I want to investigate Molly's kidnapping incident from years ago. I can't personally get involved now, and I don't trust anyone else either. The company's subordinates are too specialized, making it easy for people to notice any flaws. You're still a student, with a sharp mind and without the stigma of society. You can adapt on the fly, so I don't have to worry."

Even if Leo was discovered by someone, he was Andre's nephew, and they wouldn't dare to easily harm him.

Leo suddenly understood, "Andre, are you saying that the Marshal family orchestrated Molly's kidnapping case?"

Andre shook his head. "The chairman of the Marshal family is a very cautious person. Even if he has ulterior motives, he wouldn't dare to act recklessly. Without powerful support behind him, he would never have succeeded."

Leo asked again, "Is it Officer Rubin?"

Andre replied, "Officer Rubin is just a minor character. Fifteen years ago, he hadn't even entered politics yet. Moreover, with his position and power, he is far from being considered the backing of the Marshal family."

"So, are there other people behind it?"

Andre nodded.

After finishing his briefing to Leo, Andre set off for the airport with Mia the next day.

...

Molly didn't stay with the Cedillo family but returned to the Byrne family. At home, she roamed around in her pajamas without feeling embarrassed.

The Cedillo family had many servants, both male and female, as well as two unfamiliar older brothers. Molly didn't dare to step out of the house in her pajamas and made sure to dress appropriately every day.

But it was different at the Byrne family. She could stay in her pajamas all the time, even when going out to collect deliveries. She would simply throw on a large coat over her pajamas, completely unconcerned about her appearance.

When Chad drove home, he saw Molly in her familiar bunny pajamas. "Molly, get in the car."

"Chad, why are you back so early today?"

Molly opened the car door and immediately got in. Her ankles were starting to ache from the cold. But she was too lazy, not even willing to put on socks.

Chad scolded her a few times, but Molly didn't listen at all.

The two siblings were arguing at home about whether she should wear socks when going out to pick up packages, and their father, Mr. Kendrick, overheard them.

So the next day, Mr. Kendrick bought a pair of boots for his daughter and also picked up a pair of shoes for his wife. Now, with the boots he bought, he resolved the argument between the siblings. These boots not only protected the ankles but also didn't require wearing socks, killing two birds with one stone.

"Dad, how did you know my shoe size?"

"Last year, your mom bought you a pair of sneakers that you didn't like, and they ended up becoming your mom's shoes. Since you and your mom can wear the same shoes, your shoe sizes must be the same. If I don't know my daughter's shoe size, at least I should know how big my wife's feet are."

Coleen had a look of happiness on her face. "Your father is always idle. I've been so busy lately, and he even has time to go shopping for shoes for us to wear. Molly, when you graduate, try being a civil servant instead of working for a company."

Molly linked her arm with Mr. Kendrick's. "Dad, did you hear that? You spend money and get criticized. You buy shoes for my mom, and she still finds fault with you for being idle."

Mr. Kendrick replied, "I am a real man, and I don't argue with women."

Coleen pushed her husband lightly. "Real man, go to the kitchen and help me wash the vegetables. I'm going to cook for your children." Mr. Kendrick got up and went to the kitchen.

Watching the interaction between her parents, Molly felt grateful countless times that she lived in a happy family.

During dinner, she asked, "Mom and Dad, why didn't you call me home when I stayed at the Cedillo family for so long?"

Coleen replied, "If we want to see you, we just go directly to the Cedillo family. If we call you home, then I would have to worry about your meals. The Cedillo family has many people, and you have friends there. You won't go hungry or feel lonely, and we can also take a break."
