My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

Chapter 762

Erin casually popped another pistachio into her mouth and spat out the shell. She glanced at Keira, puzzled. "What do you think she's trying to do? If she wants to handle Darien, why not just deal with him directly? What's the point of making him drink her family's wine?"

Erin was genuinely baffled. "I mean, why bother? Just seems like an unnecessary step."

Keira raised an eyebrow, thought for a moment, and then smiled. "Ellie probably spent a lot of money on Darien, right?"

Erin nodded. "Well, she should get it back!"

Keira's gaze shifted to Mollie. "I bet Darien's spent quite a bit on Mollie too, maybe even transferred her some money."

"Then she should get that back, too!" Erin shot back without a second thought.

Keira calmly explained, "But that money was transferred by Darien, not Ellie. She can't use illegal means to reclaim it."

"That's her money! How's that illegal?" Erin huffed, clearly irritated, her mind still stuck on the looser ways of her upbringing abroad. Life in Crera was so tightly bound by rules and laws that she couldn't understand the restrictions. Back home, people with influence handled things in a much darker way. But here, even the most powerful had to walk the line carefully.

"Cobb family's in a special position," Keira added softly.

Erin immediately got the point and rolled her eyes. "Yeah, yeah, rules for the rich are different here. In other places, you stay far away from those at the top. But in Crera, it's the opposite—they've got to watch every step they take."
