In the distance, Keira and Erin both frowned as they watched the situation unfold.

The two turned to Ryan simultaneously, only to find his expression as calm as ever. However, his gaze, fixed ahead, had become sharper, with a hint of menace in his eyes.

“Looks like this is the first time Ryan’s actually showing some emotion,” Erin whispered to Keira.

Before Keira could respond, a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of her, blocking her view of Ryan.

She paused, glancing up at Lewis. His face was as neutral as ever, and the move seemed almost unintentional. But knowing his jealous streak, Keira couldn’t help but laugh softly to herself and turned her gaze back to the scene ahead.

Unaware of what they were about to face, Darien and Mollie were still smiling. Darien looked at Ellie, patted her on the shoulder, and said casually, “You better behave from now on, got it?”

Ellie remained silent.

Mollie spoke up. “Darien, I don’t think she even listens to you. Why keep someone like that around? You should just fire her! What’s the point of keeping her in your house?”

Others began to chime in. “Yeah, Darien, just fire her!”

“Having someone like that around only brings bad vibes.”

As the group mocked her, Ellie wiped her face and let out a sarcastic smile.

For some reason, a bad feeling started creeping up on Darien as he looked at her. His brows furrowed as he glanced down at the glass in his hand.

“Did I take the joke too far this time?

“No, that can’t be. I’ve done worse before, and Ellie never complained. So why would she be mad now?

“But even if she is, who cares? She’ll come crawling back like always once I say a few nice things…”

With that thought, Darien let out a chuckle and looked at her. “Ellie, what’s with that look? I’m warning you, if you don’t straighten up, I might just stop talking to you.”

Not talking to her—that was his biggest weapon.

Ellie suddenly wondered how she could have been so pathetic all this time.

Her fists clenched as she stared at him, lost for words. She pitied her past self.

Yeah, in the past, whenever Darien ignored her, she’d chase after him like a lost puppy. She’d do anything to win him back. Anything.

Now, looking back, it was beyond pathetic.

How could she not have seen him for what he really was? He’d never even bothered to hide his disdain or indifference toward her.

But she’d been too wrapped up in some fairytale fantasy where Darien was the hero who’d come to her rescue. She just didn’t want to wake up.

Even her brother had warned her about Darien, but she’d never listened. She thought her brother was just being a snob, judging Darien for his background.

She hadn’t allowed anyone to look down on Darien. Not until today.

If Keira hadn’t given her that earpiece or forced her to listen, she would’ve never known just how awful this man truly was.

Lowering her gaze, Ellie let out a soft chuckle.

Darien, growing impatient, asked, “What’s so funny?”

Ellie reached for a few napkins from the table, wiped her face and hair, then crumpled them up and tossed them into the trash.

Raising her head, she looked Darien straight in the eye. “Darien, we’re done. I’m breaking up with you.”

Mollie snorted. “Break up? Since when were you two even together? You’ve got some nerve saying ‘break up.’ You’re nothing but a homewrecker!”

Mollie stormed forward, hand raised to slap Ellie, but Ellie quickly grabbed her wrist.

Without hesitation, Ellie slapped Mollie across the face.

Smack!

The sharp sound echoed through the room, leaving Darien and everyone else stunned.

Darien gaped. “Ellie, have you lost your mind?!”

Ellie only smiled. “I was out of my mind before, but I’m fine now.”

Darien pulled Mollie close, his anger rising. “You’d better apologize to Mollie right now! Or I swear I’ll never speak to you again!”

Ellie lowered her gaze. “And then what?”

“What do you mean, ‘and then’? After that, you’ll need to get Mollie a proper apology gift. And if it doesn’t make her happy, I won’t forgive you.”

Ellie blinked, her mind drifting. She remembered last year when Darien had said something similar, and she’d bought Mollie an Hermès bag as an apology—a bag worth nearly a hundred thousand dollars.

She laughed. “Oh, don’t worry. I’ve already prepared a gift.”

Darien smirked. “And what would that be?”

At that moment, the manager approached with a bill in hand. Ellie took it and handed it to Darien. “This.”NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
