Sweet Mischief's Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 297

Only after a reminder from her dad did Molly realize her mistake.

Chad put up with her whims, which was a stark contrast to his usual fair and strict approach to other matters. Even though Chad didn't like family members being at his workplace, he still tolerated Molly and arranged for friends to keep her company.

Molly didn't realize this. Mia had clear boundaries and wouldn't disturb her husband at work no matter how much she acted up. Neither Naomi would go to the town hall to see her husband. And Chad's mother, she would never show up at her father’s workplace.

Molly was the only exception.

"Dad, I got it." Molly said.

After a reminder from Hansen, Molly seldom showed up at the police station.

Chad was investigating a case involving Officer Rubin. He had his team follow him for over a month and finally found out Officer Rubin's secret.

Officer Rubin had a secret "home".

At first, Chad was investigating the Obsidian Cafe. By law, public servants were not allowed to operate home cafes. Even though Officer Rubin's name was not listed in the registration of the Obsidian Cafe, he was indeed involved in its management. On the surface, the cafe was supported by the Marshal Group, but in reality, they did not have control.

Andre had looked into the finances of the Obsidian Cafe and found that the small cafe's annual income was even more than that of a small enterprise, even reaching $800,000 in one year.

Something was fishy.

However, investigation wasn't easy because the legal entity of the Obsidian Cafe had no relationship with the Rubin family, and the manager and accountant of the Obsidian Cafe were separate. Moreover, if they insisted that the money came from selling coffee, there was little the police could do.

Luckily, Chad found Officer Rubin's weak spot. By investigating his mistress, he was finally able to unravel the complex case.

The interrogation process was lengthy, and Chad kept a woman in custody for a whole week.

"Marian, if someone wanted to save you, they would've done so by now. No one's coming, which means they've given up on you. Based on the evidence we have, we can already pin your crime. You'd better speak up, and spill something that could help you. Otherwise, given your money laundering charge, you're looking at several years in prison, at least. You have no kids. When you get out of jail in a few years, all your assets will have been confiscated. You'll be facing life alone, and your values and actions will not align with mainstream society. No one will take care of you. Right now, you can rely on your youthful looks to make money, but what will you look like after you get out?" Chad said.

Marian remained indifferent.

Officer Rubin, Rubin had already been an official for over a decade, so ordinary officers were no match for him. Only Chad himself could handle it. Before entering the interrogation room, he told his subordinates, "If Molly comes looking for me, don't let her in. Send her straight to the forensic department to hang out."

Molly's presence would affect his mood, so Chad made this decision in advance.

The officer nodded, "Don't worry, Captain."

Chad walked into the interrogation room, facing a man who had been urgently summoned and was still in his pajamas. "Officer Rubin, when did you become an official?"

Officer Rubin closed his eyes and didn't respond.

Chad began to speak while flipping through the files in his hand, "Marian is an excellent woman who genuinely cares for you. But people are selfish. If you had a child with her, maybe she'd keep your secret. Regrettably, when she heard she might have to spend the next ten years in prison, and that she'd be old and ugly when she gets out, with no kids, she started to waver."

Officer Rubin's eyes suddenly opened, staring at Chad.
