Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 287

"Just to correct you, you grew up in the school of hard knocks and we were raised in a greenhouse."

Right now, Leo felt like he'd been left out in the cold by his family.

As dusk fell, Andre came home. His lovely wife Mia complained, "Honey, I was playing chess with Leo,

he didn't go easy on me and I lost."

His father, Hansen was also grumbling, "Andre, Leo didn't let me win either, I lost too."

Molly was laughing her ass off on the couch. How could they have the nerve to complain just because

they lost a game of chess?

In Andre's home, he never judged right from wrong. He only played favorites. "So what should I do,

should I give Leo a good talking-to?"

Mia nodded, "Give him a kick."

Hansen raised his hand: "I second that."

Leo: "Andre, you were the one who taught me chess when I was a kid."

Mia instantly turned to look at Andre.

But Andre said, "I taught you chess to beat others, not to beat Mia."

Leo deflated, "You guys outnumber me, I'm not going to argue with you."

After all, if it really came to a fight, he wouldn't stand a chance on his own. He headed into the dining

room.

Soon, Bruce also came home. The Cedillo clan was reunited once again.

At the dinner table, Bruce brought up Andre's handling of the Marshal family.

"Andre, the Marshal Group can't go bankrupt. You need to keep the situation in check, give Chad some

time to handle the case, and know when to draw the line. If the Marshal Group goes bankrupt, over a

thousand employees will face unemployment. A high unemployment rate may trigger a butterfly effect.

Not only will Havenbrook's development be restricted, but the crime rate will also increase."

Andre was dealing with the Marshal family again? Mia instantly turned to look at Andre.

Chad's name was mentioned? Molly turned to look at Bruce.

Andre replied, "I've got it under control." He didn't mention anything else.

Bruce wanted to continue discussing business, but Andre immediately put a stop to it, "Let's talk

business later in the study. Keep the dinner table for some family chit-chat. There are kids present."

After saying that, Andre glanced at the three children in the house who were listening attentively.

Bruce glanced at his three grown-up kids, and remembering what they had gone through, he

immediately understood Andre's intentions.

Mia's intuition told her: Andre was keeping her at arm's length.

After dinner, Bruce and Andre went to the study to talk about business.

The three best friends got together. Mia said with a smug look, "You guys heard what happened at the

dinner table just now, right? They're all avoiding us. They're scared of us three."

Molly said, "Too bad Andre's too clever. If he hadn't reminded Bruce, Bruce would have spilled the

beans at the dinner table. I'm still wondering what case Chad is working on."

Leo looked Mia up and down, "Mia, why don't you go and find out?"

"Why should I go and find out, why don't you?"

Leo widened his eyes, "Andre has to be willing to listen to what I say."

Molly also thought this plan was feasible, "Mia, you go and seduce Andre. Try to get their information.

I'll give you credit for it."

Mia thought about her own experience and said, "Andre is the kind of person who, even if I

successfully seduce him, won't reveal any information."

Andre was like a greedy wolf. If she threw herself at him, he won't hesitate to accept. But when it came

to the information she wanted, he won't say a word.

The three of them were discussing privately, and when it was time, Andre called Mia upstairs to bed.

Seeing these three huddle together, he felt a bit uneasy. He always felt these three were plotting

something. "Mia, upstairs."

Mia looked up at Andre on the stairs, she replied, then said to her two friends, "Don't get your hopes

up. Even when Andre is drunk, he's smarter than me, I can't fool him."

Molly waved her hand, "Got it, go to bed. It's almost your curfew."

Mia blushed, she walked to the stairs and held Andre's hand, "Honey, they're all making fun of me now,

saying I have a curfew after eight."

Andre said, "They're not wrong."

Mia shyly said, "They also told me to seduce you..."

Andre calmly said, "Once we get back to the room and close the door, you can seduce me all you

want."

Downstairs, Molly and Leo started to gamble out of boredom. Molly said, "Let's bet big this time. Guess

when Mia will get pregnant."

Leo said, "I bet she's already pregnant."

Molly said unhappily, "Humph, Leo, why do you always have to say what I was going to say?"

Upstairs, Mia took the book out of Andre's hands before lying on his chest, like a posh cat.

"Honey, what did you and Bruce talk about privately tonight?"

"That's not something you should know."

"I'm your wife, what shouldn't I know?" Mia asked.

In the past, Andre wasn't married, he could finish a book in two months at most. After he got married, it

took him almost half a year to finish a book.

"Mia, you can do whatever you want with other things, but don't meddle in work matters, I'll tell you

when it's time."

Mia asked, "Is it related to the person behind the Marshal family? Have you found that person but can't

catch him?"

Andre asked, "What’s your analysis?"

Mia said, "If the Marshal family goes bankrupt, there will be a second Marshal family. You're looking for

the person behind the Marshal family, and as long as that person is taken down, there won't be another Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

Marshal family. Bruce mentioned Chad's name. We all know what Chad does, and I figured it out with

just a little bit of probing."

"Did you just tell Molly and Leo your guess?" Andre asked.

Mia shook her head, "Chad is the only thing on Molly's mind. If she knew Chad was in trouble, she'd

definitely rush to his aid. This situation is way over our heads. I played dumb downstairs just to fob

them off. Bet I nailed it, didn't I?"

Andre looked at the clever Mia, wrapping his arm around her shoulder, pulling her close.

"With just a piece of clue and two names, you've got it all figured out. Mia, you're one smart cookie. You

constantly surprise me. I was just worried that you three clueless kids would stir up trouble. Seems like

I've underestimated you. You are a smart girl, a thinker. So... you got it right."

Mia laughed, "Honey, I've got a little suggestion for you. Even though I'm the same age as Molly and

Leo, I'm already married. That means I have my own family. I'm a grown woman. They might be kids in

your eyes, but I'm an adult sharing responsibilities with you. We're a couple.

"Though I'm young, I'm really sharp. If there's anything important in the future, don't keep it from me,

okay? I don't want to be just your troublemaker, I want to be your confidante too. Like this time, can you

not keep it from me?"
