Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 458

Chad glanced at the angering sprite beside him, used to her antics by now.

The phone was connected, and Jack’s pleading voice came through. He was crying, begging Molly for mercy. “Molly, I’m sorry. I just really liked you. I shouldn’t have harassed you. Please let me go. I don’t have a home anymore. My father... my father has another family now. He doesn’t want me... Molly, I’m sorry.”

Jack kept talking about his misfortunes, trying to gain Molly’s sympathy, but he had underestimated Molly’s character.

Before Chad could even open his mouth, Molly couldn’t hold back anymore. “I’m not Mother Teresa. I don’t have the heart to pity your tragic fatherless situation. If you’re really lacking a mother’s love, call me mom and see how it sounds. I’ll treat you like my own.”

After she finished, she gave Chad a proud, show-off look.

There was silence on Jack’s end of the call for a moment. “Molly, I really have nowhere else to go. Please help me. The company can’t go bankrupt. If it does, I’ll have nothing left. Without anything, I might as well be dead.”

Unconsciously, Molly was hanging onto Chad’s arm, leaning on him. Chad was holding the phone, and she was in charge of the exchange. “If you want to die, do it somewhere else. Don’t bother the police. They’re busy.”

Molly wasn’t soft-hearted. She had no sympathy. In fact, she was a little devil.

Jack was hitting wall after wall. He had kneeled and begged his father, groveled in front of politicians, and lowered his pride to seek the help of spoiled brats. Now, a word from Molly could save him, and he had apologized nicely, but she wouldn’t accept it, even trying to push him to the edge.

“Molly, why can’t you see my feelings for you? If you push me to my death, can your conscience handle it?”

Molly rolled her eyes. Feelings? Sweet talk was just false sentiment.

“Jack, I never expected you to be this shameless. It’s not like I’m the one driving you to death, and now you’re trying to blame it on me. You’re planning to blame me. Well, go ahead. After all, my brother is the best. He can protect me.”

After speaking, she looked up at Chad for approval. “Chad, I’m right, aren’t I?”

Chad didn’t even get a word in before Molly fired back a string of words. There was no need for him to even take the call anymore. He directly handed the phone to her. “Here you go, your turn. I’m going to bed.”

Molly quickly hugged Chad, preventing him from leaving. “No, no, no, you are in this too.”

“I see you’re pretty happy talking.”

Molly shrugged. “Just a bit, not ‘pretty’ happy.”

Jack heard Chad’s voice on the other end. So he had been there all along. And at this late hour, Molly was actually still with him.

Chad immediately took off speakerphone and held the phone to his ear.

Molly tiptoed to listen in, but Chad pushed her away. He went back to his bedroom, turned around to lock the door, leaving Molly standing outside. He returned to his room, alone with the phone. His voice was low, reminding Jack, “Did you forget the warning I gave you last time?”

Jack stared at his still healing wrist. Now he even had difficulty eating.

Chad spoke lightly. His gaze looked far out the window. “It seems I need to help you remember what you swore that time.”

“I really have nowhere else to go.” Jack’s words were cut off by Chad’s cold reply, “That’s exactly what I want!” If he had a way out, where would the satisfaction come from?
