My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

755  Chapter 754

The group headed straight for the bar, a whole crowd of them. Yes, in the middle of the morning, they went to a bar.

That man Ellie had been chasing was there, sitting in a corner booth with a girl in his arms when Keira walked in. She and Erin exchanged a glance before looking at Ellie.

They both figured that after seeing this, Ellie would finally be able to let go of this loser, right?

The guy was already playing around with other women... openly.

But Ellie, surprisingly unfazed, said flatly, "The girl he's holding is his girlfriend, Mollie." Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Keira blinked. Erin just gawked. "Wait, what? He has a girlfriend, and you're still chasing after him?"

Ellie looked down. "He told me he has feelings for me, too. Just because he has a girlfriend doesn't mean he's married. He said he can't leave her right now because he feels responsible. But he promised me… he said he's going to marry me eventually."

Keira's jaw dropped. "Are you serious right now?"

Erin was stunned. "So, you're the other woman? The famous Ellie Cobb is okay with being the side chick?"

Ellie quickly responded, "I'm not— It's not like that…"

But she couldn't even finish her sentence.

She knew, deep down, how wrong all of this was.

Still, every time she thought she should walk away from Darien, he'd come back, venting about how hard things were for him.

He'd go on about how much Mollie had sacrificed for him, how much she had given up for him. He'd claim he didn't love her anymore, that what he felt for her was just a sense of duty, but he couldn't abandon her. He'd apologize, say he felt bad for dragging Ellie into this mess, and assure her that he didn't want her to be seen as a homewrecker.

And every single time, Ellie would feel a surge of sympathy and tell him not to worry, that she understood, that she'd wait.

Meanwhile, Ellie was the one giving him money, cars, and even a place to live.

Listening to this, Erin couldn't take it anymore. She rolled her eyes dramatically. "Ellie, he's manipulating you! You don't see it? This is classic gaslighting."

Ellie shook her head. "No, Darien's not like that. He wouldn't do that to me."

Erin was at a loss for words. She stared at Ellie, then started marching straight toward Darien.

Just as they got close, Ellie held them back. "Let me talk to him first. There has to be a reason behind all this… He wouldn't hurt me without a reason."

The others stood there, speechless.

Keira sighed and glanced over at Ryan, who shrugged but nodded. "Fine, go ahead."

Ellie approached Darien, who was casually drinking with Mollie in his arms. When he saw Ellie, he seemed surprised. "What are you doing here?"

Mollie narrowed her eyes, standing up, and she looked Ellie up and down with disdain. "What do you want now? Haven't I told you to stop bothering Darien? What part of that don't you get? Get a grip!"

Ellie bit her lip, her gaze shifting from Mollie to Darien. "Did you mess with my car yesterday?"

Darien's face twisted in confusion. "What the hell are you talking about?"

Ellie let out a bitter laugh. "I know, Darien. I found out everything. Stop pretending. Why are you doing this to me?"

Before Darien could respond, Mollie crossed her arms and sneered, "Oh please, Ellie. It wasn't Darien. It was me! I had your car messed with. I wanted to teach you a lesson."

Ellie froze. "What?"

Mollie smirked. "That's right. I wanted to remind you to stay in your lane. Darien's a wealthy, powerful guy. You? You're nothing. You'll never be more than a nuisance. Get it through your thick skull—Darien's mine."

Ellie was too stunned to speak. "I'm nothing?"

Mollie continued, "Exactly. You're the maid's daughter, aren't you? Darien's family has been funding your education all this time. Now that you've graduated and can't find a job, you think you can just latch onto him. Dream on. I'm his girlfriend. Stop trying to take what's mine."

Keira and Erin exchanged shocked glances, then turned to Ryan, completely bewildered.

Ellie's voice trembled as she asked the question everyone had on their mind. "Who told you I'm the maid's daughter? Was it Darien?"

At this, Darien's expression immediately shifted to one of panic.
