Sweet Mischief's Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 367

Listen to that audacious tone.

Molly retorted, "When it comes to audacity, even the gods can't stand you."

"Could you really calm down after hearing about Chad's incident last night?" Mia asked her friend.

"Well, not really. But just before I left home, it dawned on me that if I acted recklessly, it would only affect my brother. The investigators are just doing their jobs. The real villain is the anonymous informant."

Mia nodded, "Good. Last night, Leo and I were worried you'd rush over without thinking. We almost sent Leo to the Byrne house to stop you."

"By the way, Mia, are our brother and dad okay?" Molly asked.

Mia shook her head, "Our family wasn't affected. From what our brother said, Chad was hit the hardest."

Molly suddenly turned serious, "I have a feeling something's not quite right. Why does it seem like they're targeting my brother?"

...

Donnie returned to the police station, where he revealed Molly's identity to his colleagues. The news left everyone stunned, followed by a sudden question from someone, "If Molly and Captain Chad aren't blood-related siblings, why do they look like...?"

The room fell silent. Everyone knew how protective Chad was of Molly.

Although Donnie wasn't as capable as Chad, he was still considered one of the promising young men. Molly being with him seemed like a good match. However, Chad, under the guise of his status as brother, had beaten up Donnie twice.

Even if they were real siblings, was that necessary?

The office fell quiet for a moment before Donnie hastily defended, "Well, they've been like siblings for more than a decade. What's wrong with the Captain caring too much for Molly? If I found a sister and raised her for over a decade, the bond would be just as strong.

"Besides, stop thinking about me being with Molly. I'm a taken man now. If my girlfriend were to find out about my past, she'd give me a piece of her mind."

Laughter filled the room as his colleagues teased him, calling him 'henpecked husband.’

Donnie then sat before his computer, searching for the information Chad requested.

After having lunch, Leo dropped Molly off at her workplace. "Molly, go rest a bit before you start work."

"Alright, I'll go rest in my mom's office." Molly approached the passenger side where Mia was seated and spoke, "You're pregnant. Try not to move around too much. If I find out anything about the incident, I'll call you."

Mia nodded, "If you're feeling upset, remember to call us."

"Don't worry. No one will upset me."

As Molly walked back to Chade Inc, Mia looked at Leo, "What did your uncle tell you at Majestic Dining Enclave?"

Leo: "First, no eating randomly. Second, no getting involved in fights. Third, no investigating last night's incident."

Mia asked again, "Did he say anything else? Your call lasted quite a while. It couldn't have been that simple."

Leo tried to deceive Mia, but when he failed, he quickly improvised and came up with something else.

Back home, Leo handed Mia over to his mother, Naomi, safe and sound.

Holding Mia's hand, Naomi led her back to the bedroom, "You nearly gave me a heart attack. Where did you go?"

"We just went out for a meal, Naomi. Don't worry, I'm an adult. I won't get lost or put myself in danger."

Mia was then whisked away for a lecture.

Sitting in his car, Leo called Andre. Perhaps Andre was busy, as nobody answered. Remembering his uncle's words during their call, Leo started the car and left the Cedillo residence.
