Chapter 336
The Devil had the lightest sleep you could imagine. Not even bothering to take off his sleep mask, with a familiar stretch of his long arm towards the backseat, he opened his palm.
I felt like Iâd been pardoned, quickly placing the earbuds in his hand.
He fitted the earbuds with practiced ease and drifted back to sleep.
Molly let out a long sigh of relief, snuggled closer, and after a moment of silence, she began to whisper.
âJane, I was just trying to get under my brotherâs skin on purpose, but honestly, heâs a really good guy.â
âReally?â
I was puzzled why she was suddenly opening up about this.
Molly rested her head on my shoulder. âIâm not on great terms with my

because of his affair. I hate him for betraying my mom.â
âAs a kid, I was frail and barely left the house.â Molly continued, âAfter that, I moved out of the Ford Residence. I even blamed my brother for not leaving with me.â
I nodded. âGuess he grew up fast, huh?â
âYeah.â
Molly sighed, a tinge of guilt in her voice. âLater, I realized he was smarter and more rational than me. Only someone like him could make the right decisions.â
âOtherwise, we would have just handed over everything that belonged to my mom and us.â
âI was just too immature and reckless.â
Hearing this, I tried to comfort her, âYou didnât do anything wrong. As long as youâre not hurting anyone, any choice you make is okay.â
She must have been very young at the time.
Very few can be thoughtful and considerate in their youth.
âNo, I was wrong. I moved out of the Ford family but still enjoyed the privileges that came with the Ford name.â Molly shook her head, âAnd all because my brother took on the responsibilities that were mine.â
I patted her head gently, âBut he probably never blamed you.â
Gregory seemed like nothing bothered him. But it was clear he cared deeply for Molly, his little sister.
After a brief silence, Molly suddenly called out to me, âJane?â
âYes?â
She paused before asking, âDoes Mr. Larson⦠only go for girls like you?â
I was surprised by her candor, but responded openly, âIâm not sure, but what I can tell you is that he and I have made things clear. There wonât be any entanglements beyond friendship.â
âAnd his hobbiesâ¦â
âMolly!â
Gregory suddenly interjected with a bite in his voice, âWhatever youâre thinking, forget it. Before he sells you out and you counting the cash for him, Iâll break your legs first.â

His tone was cold and unyielding.
Molly jumped, both anxious and annoyed, âWhy are you eavesdropping on our conversation?â
âWhoâs eavesdropping?â
Gregory pulled out the earbuds and tossed them at her, âGo ahead and leave a bad review. What kind of earbuds are these? Might as well have stuffed air in my ears. At least air wouldnât make my ears hurt.â
Molly stomped her feet in frustration!
Gregory warned, âYou better take my words to heart.â
âGot it!â
Molly replied sullenly, then added, âI just thought he seemed kind and considerate. A marriage alliance could be beneficial.â Gregory casually asked, âAm I doing so badly that you need to sacrifice your own life?â

âSaid I got it.â
Mollyâs response was simple, but her tone softened.
However, a womanâs intuition told me she hadnât given up.
She just didnât want to make Gregory angry.
Upon reaching Vista Town, Gregory dropped Molly off at the Ford Residence before taking me straight to Myers Mansion.
Ramona was overjoyed to see us.
