My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire！

But before she could pull it out, Keira pressed it firmly into her ear.

As Ellie tried to resist, she suddenly heard Darien and Mollie talking.

Mollie scoffed, "What\'s she doing here again? She really has no shame!"

Darien replied, "What else? She\'s here to see me… Ugh, once people like her start being a doormat, they just keep being one. It\'s like they\'re addicted to it."

Mollie laughed. "You\'ve got quite the charm, Darien. But if I were you, I\'d fire the maid\'s daughter for acting like that. Why haven\'t you kicked her to the curb?"

Darien responded, "Her mom\'s worked for my family for ages…"

Mollie pressed on, "But come on, you can\'t keep letting her slide! Letting her drive your car is one thing, but using your card? That\'s just too much."

Listening through her own earbud, Keira exchanged a glance with Ellie. Ellie held a tight expression, trying to justify, "Darien is just a little vain, but he\'s a good guy. He told Mollie he\'s made something of himself and wants to return to his roots…"

Keira rolled her eyes, urging Ellie to keep listening.

Ellie fell silent.

Then she heard Mollie ask, "Do you remember what tomorrow is?"

Darien immediately replied, "Of course I do."

Keira looked at Ellie. "What\'s tomorrow?"

Ellie quickly answered, "It\'s Mollie\'s birthday."

Keira raised an eyebrow.

Ellie dropped her gaze, feeling the weight of the truth. The only reason she remembered was that every year on this day, Darien would celebrate Mollie\'s birthday, and she was never allowed to be there. The venue was always set up by Mollie, and the money was something Ellie had put in long before.

On this day every year, Ellie had to stay away, all to make way for the birthday girl.

Keira heard Mollie\'s tone and frowned, sensing something was off.

Just then, Darien added with a smile, "Of course, it\'s our three-year anniversary."

Upon hearing this, Keira turned sharply to Ellie, who looked utterly shocked.

Keira pressed, "How long have you known Darien?"

Ellie bit her lip. "Three and a half years."

Keira\'s brow furrowed. "So, Mollie is Darien\'s childhood girlfriend? The one who supported him through school? Ellie, can\'t you see?"

Ellie trembled, her mind racing.

Keira continued softly, "After Darien saved you, he figured out you were from money and started dating you, but during that time, he was cheating on you! You were never the other woman; Mollie is the real other woman! Or, maybe she doesn\'t even know the truth—she probably thinks you\'re just the daughter of a maid in his house…"

Ellie\'s heart sank. She looked down, her fingers tightening into fists as she shook her head. "I don\'t believe it…"

She couldn\'t accept that this could be the truth.

Keira sighed, knowing the truth would be evident soon enough. The earbud crackled again, and Mollie\'s voice came through, "So, how are we celebrating tomorrow? Did you get me a gift? And please tell me that clueless Ellie won\'t be there. I don\'t want her ruining our anniversary."

Darien chuckled. "Don\'t worry, I won\'t let her come. I can\'t stand her! If it weren\'t for her mom working for my family for so long, I would\'ve booted her out a long time ago!"

At that, Ellie felt her body go cold. Her face turned pale as she stared at Darien from across the room.

This couldn\'t be true. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Darien had told her a different story!

How could it be like this?

Keira squeezed Ellie\'s wrist, urgently saying, "So, do you finally see who this guy really is? He doesn\'t care about you; he\'s just using you for your money!"

Ellie shook her head in denial. "No, that\'s impossible! Darien saved my life! He couldn\'t possibly be like that!"

As those words left her lips, she heard Mollie\'s voice again. "I really don\'t get it. If you want to get rid of such a small fry, why not just fire her or get rid of her yourself? Why go through a middleman? Look, she\'s still standing there."

Ellie\'s body shook as she processed Mollie\'s words, disbelief flooding her senses.

Then Darien\'s voice came through, "Don\'t worry, if this doesn\'t work, we\'ll deal with her next time. I could fire her, but she\'ll just keep coming back. Might as well just get rid of her for good!"
