Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 427

That day, he received a call from the police station. They instructed him to pick up his second son.

Anthony had been working a contract for a month. However, just as they were about to reach a deal,

the other party unexpectedly withdrew. And again, it was because of the Cedillos!

On the surface, Finley and the Cedillos were cordial, but they had long held grudges against each other

in secret. Even though the Cedillos denied ever interfering with Anthony’s work, Finley didn’t believe

them. Who wouldn’t take a shot at their enemy when they had the chance?

That day, Bruce was at the police station. Being a high-ranking officer, he had connections strong

enough to let him off. Bruce told Anthony, “We, the Cedillos, don’t owe you anything. It’s you who owe

us. What you owe us, I will take back.”

Bruce knew the truth about the past, because Hansen had told him. Letting go of the past didn’t mean

he didn’t hold a grudge against the Walton family in his heart.

“Not long after that, Anthony was involved in a car accident and passed away.” Finley was engulfed in

sorrow. Wary of political corruption, he had sent his second son into business, but he didn’t expect him

to pass away too.

“I don’t believe that Anthony’s death has nothing to do with Bruce. It’s too coincidental. He had just

threatened my son, and then my son was dead. Since that’s the case, don’t blame me for laying hands

on his son.”

Back then, due to an unfortunate mistake, Molly and Andre were kidnapped.

Looking at these two siblings, Finley had the idea to make the Cedillo family childless. He wanted to

make Hansen just like him, with no children or wife.

However, at that time, the Mastin family was on the decline, so he needed a new company to sustain

him. He set his sights on the nearly bankrupt Marshal Group.

When people are desperate, they’ll do anything. Brian agreed to cooperate with him.

To revive the Marshal family without raising suspicion, Finley had to make a compromise. Between the

lives of Molly and Andre, he chose to let Brian save Andre, thereby gaining the help of the Cedillo

family. He manipulated the Marshal family from the shadows, leading them to rise and become a large

company.

The reason he chose to let Molly die was that he found her presence brought too much joy to the

Cedillo family. She seemed to be the apple of everyone’s eye in the Cedillo family, and Hansen had a

special affection for his late-born daughter.

If he wanted to make the Cedillo family taste his pain, then he might as well start with something that

everyone in the Cedillo family cared about.

Molly, the bright little princess of the Cedillo family, was forever lost in the sea.

After Andre was saved, the entire Cedillo family was mobilized to find Molly. How could they find a body

that’s in the sea?

He heard that if they didn’t find her, the Cedillo family wouldn’t close the case. Finley worried that if the

investigation went on for too long, the people caught by the police might inadvertently reveal their

connection to him. So he arranged another scheme. It was getting a body of a girl who had been

sexually assaulted and tortured to death to Brian. It allowed him to once again play the savior for the

Cedillo family.

Unexpectedly, the best surprises always came at the end. He didn’t expect that Hansen’s lifelong love

couldn’t bear the tragic death of her daughter, and she passed away not long after due to the shock.

This was truly satisfying! Now, he could finally sleep well.

Two years later, Naomi was pregnant again. He couldn’t let her give birth! Women were such a

nuisance. It would be better if they died. He didn’t expect the Mastin family to be soft-hearted and not

kill her.

Later, they went to investigate Leo from the Cedillo family. However, all information about Leo seemed

to be blocked. No one knew who he was. They only knew his name. It turned out that all the

information about Leo was blocked by Andre.

That person he almost got rid of back then, due to his carelessness, had become the business emperor

of today, leading Cedillo Inc. to become a legend. Every time Finley thought about this, he regretted not

killing him back then.

Now he had left such a big trouble for himself, and because of Andre, he had lost the Marshal Group.

Back then, he really wished he had killed Molly first before throwing her into the sea. Unexpectedly,

fifteen years later, she came back alive.

The Cedillo family was gradually recovering. From Andre’s marriage, the Cedillo family had one happy

event after another. Molly returned home. Leo grew up. Andre was about to become a father. Bruce

was stable in politics. The Cedillo Group was thriving. Everything had started to change since last year.

Finley looked out the window and told Tom, “Take Holly and escape. Let her give birth to the child

safely.”

“Boss, you and Holly should go. Today Molly recorded my voice. It has nothing to do with you.” Tom

said loyally.

Finley turned around and looked at him, “You go.”

He had his own reasons for letting Tom go. He was old and couldn’t hide with a pregnant woman. At his

age, he couldn’t even take care of himself, let alone a pregnant woman and a child.

Moreover, the evidence Molly recorded was Tom’s own confession. Once Tom disappeared, as long as

he denied everything, he would not go to jail. Even if he fell into Chad’s hands, Chad would have to

think twice before using force on him.

Tom looked at Finley, understanding his good intentions. He stepped back and bowed to Finley. “I will

definitely save you.”

After he finished speaking, Tom, drenched in sweat, fled with the car keys in his grasp. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Not even half an hour after his departure, a police car appeared downstairs. Finley sat in the house,

awaiting the arrival of the police.

...

At the hospital, Naomi glanced at Mia and Leo who were still standing as punishment as she left. They

had been standing for over half an hour.

In the room, Molly had already apologized and admitted her mistakes, but Andre didn’t show the

slightest hint of softness towards his wife.

Even the elderly couple from the Byrne family couldn’t bear to watch and said a few words to Andre,

“Mia is pregnant. Her legs can’t take standing for too long.”

Hansen, too, couldn’t bear to see it. Knowing that all three children were seeking the truth about the

past, he spoke up, “Andre, without these three kids, when do you think you and Chad would find

anything out?”

“That’s enough. They’ve been standing for a long time. Mia is already scared. Are you really prepared

to heartlessly make her stand at the door for an hour? Mia wasn’t hurt this morning. Don’t let her get

hurt from standing as punishment this afternoon.”

Naomi also added, “Andre, if you’re really upset, take it out on Leo. Don't take it out on Mia. Pregnant

women are very sensitive. When I left just now, she was still crying. Don’t make Mia sick during her

pregnancy. You’ll regret it later.”

Andre stood his ground. “She needs to learn her lesson. I know what I’m doing with my wife, so stop

trying to persuade me.”

Naomi countered, “If you keep this up, what will happen when your parents-in-law see this? Do you

think they’ll let Mia live with you?”

Andre retorted, “That’s still better than her going to see Tom with Molly and Leo.”

From her hospital bed, Molly, who had luckily escaped a punishment from Andre due to her injuries,

took responsibility. “Andre, it was me who dragged Mia and Leo along. It was also me who impulsively

ran from the car in the parking lot. I feared Tom would escape. I didn’t listen to Mia’s advice. I’m the one

at fault here, so stop punishing her.”
