Mollie immediately turned to Darien, her tone sharp. "That's impossible! Darien, are you going to let the servant's daughter talk to you like that? She's totally out of line!"

Darien shot up from his seat, storming over to Ellie. He grabbed her arm roughly. "Ellie Cobb, have you had enough?"

Keira rolled her eyes. "Fine, if that's how the Cobbs handle things. But we're still going to have a nice little chat with Darien later."

So, the group stood by, watching the scene unfold.

With that, he turned to Mollie.
