My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire！

757  Chapter 756

Ellie looked at Erin and said, "Darien has his reasons. He and his girlfriend don't love each other; their families arranged their engagement…"

Keira raised an eyebrow, taking in the scene. She saw Darien laughing and joking with Mollie, who was sweet and coy in front of him, looking nothing like.

What Ellie described.

Keira couldn't help but lower her gaze.

What arranged engagement? In her eyes, Mollie and Darien didn't seem close at all. If they were, why wouldn't she know that he wasn't a rich heir?

Mollie had a calculating glint in her eyes; she clearly came from a gold-digger background.

From their conversation, Keira pieced things together.

After Darien saved Ellie, she fell for him.

As a result, Darien got involved with a wealthy family, but while he was with Ellie, he got caught up with Mollie.

So, he deceived Ellie, claiming Mollie was a childhood friend he couldn't betray.

He set up a responsible persona for himself.

From then on, he could openly hang out with Mollie.

Darien understood Ellie's personality as a pampered rich girl. Because of her privileged upbringing, she had her boundaries. When she found out she was the other woman, he felt guilty and didn't assert his claim in front of her anymore.

With Darien's brainwashing and tempting words, Ellie found it hard to let go of him, which meant she continued to financially support the two of them.

The silly girl didn't notice a thing.

She even thought she was atoning for something!

How deep was Darien's brainwashing?

Did she really not see all of this?

Keira felt utterly speechless.

Lewis remained silent, not wanting to add to the chaos.

He glanced at Ryan … Maybe he was aware of the situation, but Ellie had likely made a scene at home, leaving Ryan with little recourse.

Then he remembered Ellie saying her savings were all being managed by her brother. So, Ryan had probably noticed the issue early on and cut off Darien's financial support.

Now, that was a sensitive topic for Darien.

Without money, it wouldn't be long before he set his sights on that insurance payout, would it?

Erin was dumbfounded. "Wow, is this even possible? Should I say Darien's scheme is too sophisticated or that you, as a rich girl, are too easy to fool?"

Ellie quickly protested, "Don't say that! Darien's not that kind of person…"

Erin shot back, "What kind of person is he then?"

"He's responsible and dependable. He'll be accountable to his fiancée, which shows he has his own charm…"

Erin exclaimed, "Sure, he's responsible to someone else, but what about you?"

Ellie faltered, "I shouldn't have intruded on their relationship…"

Erin couldn't hold back her frustration. "Seriously? You can't see through this scumbag's facade?"

"Stop saying that about him…"

Erin pressed, "He nearly killed you, and you still won't let it go?"

Ellie shook her head vehemently, looking completely convinced. "Darien said it wasn't him."

Before they arrived, everyone had already warned Ellie that Darien was trouble, but the moment she saw him, she seemed enchanted.

What kind of spell had Darien cast on this girl?

Erin was at a loss for words and turned to Ryan. "You're the older brother. Aren't you going to do something about this?" n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Ryan sighed. "I tried to force them to break up once, and Ellie almost took her own life."

"…"

Given Ryan's withdrawn demeanor, it seemed he wasn't the type to communicate effectively with his sister, so he likely had no control over Ellie's actions.

Erin couldn't help but twitch her lips.

Just as she was about to say something, Keira spoke up. "He really is a scumbag. I hope you open your eyes and see him for who he is."

Ellie shook her head urgently. "Don't say that! I believe in Darien…"

As soon as she finished speaking, Keira handed her a Bluetooth earpiece.

Ellie looked puzzled. "What's this?"

Keira replied casually, "Oh, just a listening device."

Earlier, when she passed by Darien, she had discreetly attached the device to him. She had intended to listen in and see if anyone was plotting against Ellie, figuring it might involve the South family.

But now it seemed it would come in handy.

Ellie frowned. "Why would you want to eavesdrop on Darien? If he finds out, he'll be really upset!"

Previously, when Ellie had gone through Darien's phone and he discovered it, he had gotten very angry, insisting on respecting each other's privacy.

Seeing how brainwashed Ellie had become, Keira knew that if she didn't let her hear for herself, she wouldn't believe it. So, without hesitation, she popped the earpiece into Ellie's ear.

"Just listen to what he and Mollie are saying, then decide for yourself!"
