Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 278

After Christmas, Molly spent three days with the Cedillo family.

That afternoon, Chad went to pick her up. He had made a point to go home and change his clothes,

shave, and then came to the Cedillo family with gifts.

At that time, the Cedillo family was preparing gifts for Molly to take to the Byrne family.

"Molly." Chad called out.

Turning around, Molly saw her brother had come to pick her up. She put down what she was holding

and ran towards Chad, "My dad insisted that I take some gifts home."

"Hey, Chad's here, have a seat. Naomi, Bruce, Mia, come out, Chad's here." Hansen called out to his

son and daughter-in-law from the living room, and they quickly appeared.

Chad explained why he had come; he was there to pick up Molly. After sitting with the Cedillo family for

a while, he used the excuse of having something to do and left with his sister.

On the way home, Chad asked her, "Did anything happen with Leo and Mia?"

"If I didn't call you, then nothing happened. Mia went out to get gift cards the day before yesterday, and

she went home yesterday." Molly said.

That evening, Mia went to bed early.

No trouble whatsoever.

Chad said, "She went home yesterday, and dad's sister also came and is still at our house today."

Mr. Kendrick had a sister who was hard to get along with and spoke unpleasantly. Molly remembered

when she was young, her mother was busy with work and didn't have time to take care of the kids, so

they had a nanny.

This lady always sarcastically said, "Women should put family first. It's men's job to work. You working

all day is just embarrassing my brother. You have kids but don't take care of them, why did you have

them? You're rich so you hire a nanny, but if you let me take care of them, I'd charge less. You ask

someone else to take care of them. What if they abuse your kids?You won't even know. If someone

poisons your kids' food, you'll regret it."

Young Coleen was often upset by her. Her husband and children didn't say anything but she had to

express her opinion which no one asked.

She even tried to ruin the relationship between Molly’s grandmother and Coleen. Fortunately, the Byrne

family's grandmother, although not high in aesthetic taste, was clear-minded. She fully supported her

daughter-in-law's career, "Women shouldn't revolve around the kitchen, preparing meals for their

husband's family all day. Chad and Jade are grown up, they're at school all day, and they don't need us

to take care of them. I support my daughter-in-law in starting a business. If you don't learn, that's fine,

but don't hold us back."

At that time, Mr. Kendrick was working in his hometown. He knew about the situation at home, and he

would often console his wife after work, "If you think my sister's words are unpleasant, you can talk

back. I'll help you."

"What if she hits me?" Coleen asked.

"I'll help you block her." Mr. Kendrick said.

Coleen had a forward-looking perspective and could quickly grasp market trends. Plus, her husband

was a smooth operator in the political field, so her way of handling things also became very smooth.

She often left her husband's sister unable to retort on the spot and could only vent when she got home.

Coleen bought a new set of clothes that looked very fashionable. Her husband's sister began to mock

her, "My brother works so hard, and he married a wife who doesn't understand thrift."

Coleen responded with a smile, "The clothes I buy, including my children's and my husband's, are all

bought with my own money. If you're envious, you can also go and earn money. But whether you can

earn as much as me, I'm not sure."

Not long after, she bought a set of clothes just like Coleen's.

Molly was young, and she knew this woman had a grudge against her mother. So, she used her age

advantage and publicly embarrassed her several times, "Why do you always follow whatever my mom

buys? If my mom buys a bag, you would buy a similar one. If my mom gets a new hairstyle, you would

follow. Clothes might suit everyone, but hair clips and hairstyles don’t. My mom is beautiful, but you

don't look good."

As soon as Molly finished speaking, she was picked up by her father and apologized to her, "Sister,

Molly is young and doesn't how what she’s saying, don't be angry with her."

Her face turned very ugly.

When they got home, Molly was taken to the bedroom by her parents and punished to stand. They

asked her, "Do you understand what you said today?"

Molly nodded, "She’s always bullying my mom. I'm young, if I mess her up, she doesn't dare hit me. If

she dares to hit me, I'll roll on the floor and cry, as long as she's not afraid of getting embarrassed."

At home, Molly was never one to be messed with.

Relatives of the Byrne family would say, "Molly is pretty, but she's too stubborn. Anyone who marries

her might be driven to their death."

Hearing these words, Coleen was very angry. Holding her daughter, she said, "My daughter won't get

married in the future."

Every time she heard this, Chad would take his sister and leave, telling her, "Driving someone to death

isn't illegal, but you can't let people drive you to death, understand?"

A few years later, Coleen's business grew bigger and bigger.

Mr. Kendrick's sister was very jealous when she saw it. She wanted to do business with Coleen. But

Coleen refused directly. She knew that starting a company couldn't be done with family, especially

someone like her.

If they made money, she would feel the dividends were unfair. If they lost money, she would push all

the responsibility onto Coleen, possibly causing unrest in the family. So, Coleen refused.

This really ticked off Mr. Kendrick's sister, and she marched up to her brother, trying to drive a wedge

between him and Coleen, "You're just an ordinary employee. Although you make a few thousand a

year, but your wife's out there running her own business, raking in hundreds of thousands each month.

She's met way more men than you. Do you really think she'd wanna stick with you? What if some guy

catches her eye and she divorces you? Listen, Chad's the heir to the Byrne family. We can't have him

getting all chummy with his mother. Molly's just a girl, so we don’t have to worry about her."

Mr. Kendrick promptly shoved his sister out of his office, warning her, "Don't you dare show up here

again."

"What's got your knickers in a twist? I'm just looking out for you." She said.

When Coleen found out about this, she was so livid she felt like marching over to Mr. Kendrick's sister's

house for a brawl. But her kids and husband talked her down, reminding her not to lose her cool. Trust

from family was the best kind of support.

Eventually, Mr. Kendrick managed to relocate to Havenbrook because of a job transfer. His family life

became much more peaceful. Without his sister stirring the pot, Coleen's business thrived even more.

Later on, it seemed like Mr. Kendrick's sister got divorced. She stayed at her brother's house for a

week, crying every day.

Jade would sit on the steps every day, watching her cry. She asked Coleen, "She just got a divorce,

right? What's she crying about? So fragile. Can't she live her own life after a divorce?"

"Mind your own business. Go do your homework with your brother." Coleen said.

Later, Coleen gave her some money to go on a vacation and clear her head. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
