The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride by Whispering Willow

Chapter 546 Ellie's Daughter-in-law

Stella was floored, "Settle down?"

Ellie nodded, "Yep. Harold's at that age, tto get him sorted."

Stella was barely scraping by day to day, how could she even think about this?

Ellie lounged in the yard, chatting with Stella, all smiles.

Abby watched from a distance, frowning. What was Ellie talking about with Stella?

Holding a thin blanket, she walked over to hand it to Ellie, eavesdropping on their convo.

"Has Harold met any girls at school?" Ellie asked.

After a beat, she sighed, "Nope, he hasn't. But no biggie. If he doesn't find a girl at school, we can set him up at

home. | think Abby's pretty great. She's been looking afterat Zandonick, and she's super diligent. I've

realized Abby's got skills, not just laundry and cooking, but she's got a kind heart too. She gets along well with

you.

Since you two are like mother and daughter, isn't that perfect? Plus, she and Harold practically grew up together,

their bond is strong." "Sebastian and Molly are the same. Molly only likes Sebastian," she added.

Abby, eavesdropping, widened her eyes in shock, staring at Ellie's back. She gripped the thin blanket tightly,

glaring at Ellie with clenched teeth.

Stella asked, "Ellie, if Abby's so great, why not pair her with Sebastian?" If Abby could marry into the Chase

family, with Ellie's health on the decline, Abby would be running the show at home. Then her good days would

come!

Ellie smiled faintly, then regretfully replied, "Stella, our Sebastian isn't as lucky as Harold. And it's also because

our Sebastian has terrible taste. His girlfriend can't do anything. She hasn't even done laundry and she's super

lazy. No skills, big temper, can't do anything but act cute. She spends Sebastian's money like water, and it's all

on herself. She drivesand my husband nuts. If you had a daughter-in-law like that, wouldn't you be furious?

Compared to Abby, you're way luckier." Ellie's tone was dripping with disdain for her own 'daughter-in-law' and

envy for Stella's.

Stella thought carefully, if her daughter-in-law was like that, life would indeed be unbearable.

Ellie seized the moment to continue, "Besides, you don't have to spend a dime!"

If Stella was still on the fence, Ellie's last sentence hit her right in the feels.

Ellie added, "Nowadays, marrying a wife costs a fortune, right? Engagement rings, house down payments, cars,

jewelry-all that stuff adds up to at least a million bucks. Where would you get that kind of cash? If it was Abby,

you wouldn't have to worry about any of that."

Ellie knew Abby was eavesdropping and didn't care, plotting with Stella right there in the yard.

She had heard Molly randomly mention marrying Abby to Jonathan.

Later, she thought it wasn't worth ruining their lives over a small matter. Besides, Abby was smart and so was

Bella's family.

If they were together, they would be scheming against them every day.

Ellie wasn't dumb enough to mess with Molly and Sebastian.

This time, Abby wanted Molly locked up, which made Ellie sick.

To dodge future , Ellie remembered Sebastian's morning advice, "Don't get your hands dirty, drag her into

hell."

She realized she could do the same, let someone else handle it.

Plus, she could use someone she disliked to deal with someone she hated even more.

At noon, Ellie thought of Molly's angry words and hatched a plan.

Her gut told her Abby couldn't stand Stella!

"Stella, think about what | said. I'm gonna hang up now." Ellie was about to leave when Stella begged, "Ellie, can

you giveback the house? We're broke, if we can't go back, we'll have to return to our hometown." Ellie

paused, her mind racing.

Molly, being straightforward, would just get a crew to wreck Stella's place.

Molly wouldn't think of taking the house, leaving them homeless and suffering.

Only Sebastian, who never got his hands dirty!

"Actually, | have nothing to do with it. If someone wants to investigate, let them. | can't intervene. But | see

Abby's got scash." Ellie hung up after that.

She got up and met Abby's hateful gaze.

Ellie smiled faintly, her aura strong, like Abby was an ant and Ellie was looking down on her. All of Abby's nasty

thoughts couldn't escape Ellie's eyes.

"Ellie, why are you trying to screwover?" Abby asked, fuming.

Ellie slowly walked up to Abby, looking at the person who hated her guts. She chuckled, "Why did you try to

screw over Molly?"

Ellie was smiling, but her eyes were ice-cold, "Abby, don't think just because the arson case isn't solved, you can

stay in my house forever. If you're smart, confess your crime. Otherwise, you'll regret it." Sebastian didn't go

hbut stayed in a hotel. When he cback, Abby couldn't wait to cling to him.

Luckily, Sebastian was upright and kept his distance, giving her no chance.

Abby thought of Ellie's description of the ‘daughter-in-law’ and asked, "Did you agree to let Sebastian marry

Molly? Their relationship is fake!"

Ellie replied, "Fake or not, the feelings are real."

As Ellie was about to leave, she suddenly stopped beside Abby, looking straight ahead, not giving Abby a glance,

"Know your place, don't have delusions." After that, Ellie left.

Abby gritted her teeth, her fists clenched so tight her knuckles were white, like she wanted to hit Ellie the next

second.

After a while, her phone rang, it was Stella calling.

The suspicion on Molly was cleared and Sebastian took her to the police station for a visit.

"Sebastian, am | really no longer a suspect?" Molly asked excitedly.

Sebastian nodded.

Molly asked excitedly again, "Does that mean if | kill Abby now, the police won't suspect me?" Sebastian was

silent.
