Sweet Mischief's Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 371

Mia chimed in again, "With Chad being suspended, and I'm sure my husband would have said something if he knew."

Leo replied, "I went to see Chad, but my uncle doesn't want me involved in Chad's affairs. Mars Arrowood is handling Chad's case. I've been looking into a case from sixteen years ago for Chad."

Mia paused for a moment, then continued sipping her juice. "And? What did you find?"

"Nothing yet, Chad just gathered the files today."

Without realizing it, Mia had finished her juice. "So you're going back tomorrow?"

"Yep."

After finishing her juice, Mia couldn't help but ask Leo again, "You deliberately said that at lunch to get a reaction out of Molly, didn't you?"

Leo looked at Mia, whose insightfulness made him wonder if she could read minds.

"You're asking for it. What was that nonsense about Chad marrying someone else? What did you think Molly's reaction would prove? Do you think she wouldn't say something impulsive in the heat of the moment?"

Leo: "So you knew I was trying to provoke her to see her reaction to Chad?"

Mia: "If the provocation works, you'll gain an extra uncle. If it doesn't, you'll lose a real aunt. It's not just us who think Molly and Chad are close. Our wise Hansen probably thinks the same.

Why do you think our dear old man hasn't brought up the subject with his daughter? Because he knows her and doesn't want to upset her. Plus, Molly and Chad are still siblings, their relationship isn't defined yet, and Hansen can't say anything.

You're the most brave one, going straight in to provoke your aunt. Did you get the result you wanted?"

Leo: "Mia, you're married. What do you think of Jade’s situation?"

"I'm married, but I've never been in a situation like this. Love is unpredictable. It's not up to us, it's up to Hansen and the Byrnes.

Once they agree, there's nothing illegal about marriage, and they're not blood siblings. Molly and her mother-in-law will still be as close as mother and daughter."

Having said that, she paused for a moment, then continued. "But Leo, you're going to be in contact with Chad a lot. I think you could subtly find out what he thinks about Molly.

I have a feeling that Molly is naive, and Chad is the one pulling the strings." After saying this, Mia raised an eyebrow at Leo.

Leo squinted his eyes, "You mean, Chad has been leading Jade on?"

Mia rested her hand under her nose, her eyes sparkling with intelligence. "I know Molly. She's no match for Chad."

Leo thought about it. His aunt had read plenty of romance novels, but when it came to love, she was a blank slate.

"I'll ask Chad the next time I see him."

Mia added, "Also, do you remember Ellory and Kyle?

When we first confronted them, your grandfather said Molly had died. But when dad arranged for 'Molly's' funeral, it was very discreet, and even close relatives weren't notified. They had no interaction with us at the time, and everyone knew Molly had disappeared. How did they know 'Molly' was dead? I find this very suspicious.

I brought it up with your uncle before, but he always treats me like a child and doesn't take what I say seriously.

You were there, you should know about the Mastin family. I'm not joking.

Whether they really knew or just happened to find out, I think you should look into it. Don't leave any stone unturned, the answer might be right in front of us."

Leo looked at the pregnant woman beside him and sighed, "Mia, if you used this intelligence in your daily interactions with my uncle, he wouldn't treat you like a child."

Mia immediately refused, waving her hand and making a face. "No way, your uncle is my husband. I'm his delicate little wife in front of him. I let him do all the thinking."
