My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

Darien was stunned.

He looked at Ellie in disbelief, unable to process the fact that she wasn't going to help him. His voice rose, "Ellie, what game are you playing?"

Ellie's cold gaze never wavered. She said nothing.

Beside them, Mollie looked confused, glancing between Ellie and Darien. She asked cautiously, "Darien, what's going on?"

Before he could answer, Ellie laughed. "What's going on? Still don't get it? Your 'rich boy' here is nothing but a fraud! He saved my life once, so I gave him money, but you really thought he was some kind of heir? Let me tell you…"

She stepped closer to Mollie. "He's unemployed, has no income, and his parents? They're farmers who used every penny they had to put him through college."

Mollie was dumbfounded. "No way… that can't be true!"

Seeing her disbelief, Ellie scoffed.

Darien couldn't hold it in any longer. "Ellie, that's enough! If you keep this up, I'll never forgive you!"

Ellie's voice was icy. "Forgive me for what? What have I done wrong? I'm just done giving you money, Darien."

"How could you do this to me?!"

Ellie stared him down. "When you bribed my maid and tampered with my car, did you stop to think why I'd turn my back on you?"

Darien was shocked. "You knew? No, it wasn't me, it was Mollie—"

Ellie found his reaction laughable.
