The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride

At first, Vera wanted Molly to find out who Sebastian's competitors were and learn about their backers.

Once she knew who they were, Vera used the fast and influential nature of the internet to directly expose it to the public, hoping public pressure would force the government to investigate. But she didn't expect the news Randall posted last night to blow up today.

Vera was shocked when she saw the news. It was her first time doing this, and she couldn't control how it unfolded.

What started as a small topic gained traction. This morning, a car accident involving Sebastian acted like a catalyst, making it a huge deal.

Vera worriedly asked Patrick, "Honey, what do we do?"

Patrick reassured her, "Don't worry. I'll contact Sebastian and see what's going on."

Last night, Randall said Sebastian was driving to Silvershore City today. How did he end up in a car accident?

Vera was smart and wouldn't do something reckless.

Someone must not want Sebastian investigating.

Vera said, "I called Molly. Sebastian's phone is off. They're all at the hospital."

In the morning, Sebastian watched Molly go to work and then drove to Silvershore City to meet Dylan and Joe.

Halfway there, a large truck lost control and crashed into Sebastian's car.

The road was new, and the surveillance wasn't great. The truck driver wore a mask and was clearly prepared.

Traffic was light. When Sebastian saw the truck, he changed lanes, but the truck followed.

At the last moment, Sebastian, a seasoned cop, knew how to minimize injuries. He unbuckled his seatbelt, jumped to the passenger seat, and opened the door to reduce the impact.

The truck smashed the driver's side door. If Sebastian had stayed in the driver's seat, he would've been crushed.

A passerby caught this on video and posted it online. Dashcams from other cars at the red light recorded everything.

The truck fled the scene.

Sebastian was taken to the hospital by ambulance.

Someone recognized Sebastian from the video and linked it to an online story about Victor cozying up to powerful officials and wealthy businessmen, getting Sebastian suspended to eliminate a rival and compete for the team leader position. Coincidentally, the news was posted last night, and by this morning, before nine, Sebastian had a car accident. Dashcam footage showed the truck deliberately targeting him.

This sparked public outrage, with people demanding a thorough investigation and explanation.

Vera woke up in shock and called Molly, "Molly, where are you?"

Molly, sounding like she'd been crying, said, "I'm at the hospital, Vera. I can't talk right now."

Seeing the news felt like her world collapsed. She didn't know how badly Sebastian was hurt.

In the office, Molly's tears streamed down her face. She ran to Ellie's office, crying and showing her the news.

Ellie saw the car accident involving Sebastian and the crushed driver's seat. She almost fainted.

Molly, hands cold with fear, grabbed Ellie's hand and rushed to the hospital, leaving work behind.

When they arrived, Timothy was already in the emergency room.

Seeing him, Ellie and Molly couldn't hold back their tears.

"Honey, how is Sebastian?" Ellie asked, her voice trembling.

Ellie and Timothy only had Sebastian left. Mia was gone, and losing Sebastian would drive her crazy.

Timothy hugged Ellie tightly. "Sebastian is fine. Don't worry."

Molly, eyes red, stared at the emergency room door, her mind blank for the first time.

When Patrick called, Molly couldn't help but cry, "Patrick, what do we do?"

With chaos at home, Patrick quickly signed the contract. He needed to hurry back.

Patrick comforted her, "Molly, don't cry. I'll be back soon."

Hearing Patrick's words, Molly felt a deep sense of reliance, like when she was a child running to Patrick after doing something wrong, asking, "Patrick, what do we do?"

No matter the problem, Patrick always reassured her, "It's okay. I'm here."

Sixteen years later, Patrick still comforted Molly, "Don't cry. I'm here."

Hearing his voice, Molly couldn't control herself.

An anonymous fan of Sebastian started a post listing all his achievements and awards, which could be verified online.

The news fueled public outrage. Official media outlets were flooded with comments demanding an investigation into the relationships between Victor, Jerry, and Glen, and to clear Sebastian's name. The angry netizens were too many to control.

In the Turner Mansion, Dennis, looking at the news online, smashed his coffee cup in anger.

"Who did this? Who exposed the relationship between Victor, Jerry, and Glen online?" His voice, filled with rage, was accompanied by a violent cough.

His plan was to take down Sebastian today, stopping him from investigating events from sixteen years ago, and clearing the way for Victor.

Everything was planned perfectly.

He desperately wanted to know who leaked the news last night as it had developed into a trending topic. What was worse, the public was demanding the police solve the case.

Dennis was so angry his eyes turned red.

It felt like he had a lump of blood stuck in his throat, and he was furious.

Jeffrey didn't expect things to escalate this far either.

If he hadn't driven to crash into Sebastian, maybe the matter wouldn't have blown up, and money might have settled it. But he didn't check the news, and by noon, the whole nation knew about the crash he caused. This led to Jerry being investigated, Victor being suspended, and Glen being taken away for questioning.

Additionally, a team of police officers was assigned to investigate Sebastian's car accident.

Within two hours, all of Dennis's men were under control.

Patrick received a call from Ian in the waiting room.

"Patrick," Ian casually scrolled through the news, teasing, "someone used a single news story to take down all your opponents."

"Let's count them. Last year, Jerry helped the Tooker Group with financing, helping them through a tough time. This year, someone used that information to paint them as colluding officials and businessmen."

He continued, "The Tooker Group, which you had just pressured, was about to catch a break, but a single news story sent them straight to the police station for questioning."

"Victor and Sebastian were competitors, and just as Victor was about to win, a car accident this morning completely ruined him. Now the entire internet supports Sebastian."

"These three are really unlucky. What do you think?"
