My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

772  Chapter 771

Keira had almost believed it was all Mollie's doing after hearing the conversation between her and Ryan.

But there were way too many holes in Mollie's story about this so-called "plan."

If it weren't for the South family's prophecy and Keira showing up at the Cobb estate in time, Ryan would have already left, and there wouldn't have been any chance for him to get hit by Ellie's car.

Something else was definitely going on here.

Just as Keira was piecing things together, Mollie smirked. "Someone told me to do it."

"Who?" Keira immediately asked.

Mollie glanced at her. "I don't know. All I know is I was planted close to Ellie, waiting for the right moment. But honestly, all I could do was humiliate her. I never even got near Ryan. I only got a chance to approach the Cobbs' maid after Ellie brought her out. I bribed her... I didn't even know what to do next, but then, a few days ago, someone called me. They said if I could mess with Ellie's car and make sure she was at the front gate by 10 a.m., I could kill Ryan."

Mollie looked at Ryan and scoffed, "Looks like your family's got plenty of enemies."

Ryan knew she was being sarcastic but didn't respond.

"So, you had the maid sabotage Ellie's car, then coordinated with Darien to make sure he called her at just the right time so she'd come down and drive off toward the gate?" Keira pressed.

Mollie nodded. "Exactly."

Keira turned to Ryan. "So, I was part of their plan too? If it weren't for the prophecy about you dying at 10, I wouldn't have stopped you at the gate, and if you had already left... there wouldn't have been an accident."

Ryan pursed his lips and nodded. "Seems that way."

Keira frowned. Things were spiraling beyond her control. It was getting more complicated than she had ever imagined.

Was the South family behind this?

If so, did that mean she was being used as well?

It was Erin who told her Ryan would be in an accident at 10 a.m.

Erin had used her family's connections to have Ryan's fortune told...

Was Erin manipulating her?

Keira tossed Mollie over to Ryan and pulled out her phone. "What's the number of the person who contacted you?"

Mollie shrugged. "How should I know? Check my recent calls. It was five days ago, around 2 p.m."

Keira scrolled through Mollie's phone and saw a number that was both unfamiliar and strangely familiar at the same time.

It was unfamiliar because it was just a string of digits.

But familiar because...

Keira quickly took out her own phone and opened her call log. One of the numbers that had called her a few days ago was exactly the same.

She remembered clearly—the person who called her from this number was... Lion!

Keira's eyes narrowed.

It really was the South family.

As she frowned, lost in thought, Ellie and Erin finally caught up. Ellie took in the scene, her eyes landing on Mollie, and asked, "What happened to her?"

Ryan answered calmly, "She's the one behind it all." Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Ellie was stunned. "What?"

She turned to Mollie, completely shocked. That couldn't be true!

Erin was also taken aback, blurting out in disbelief, "Wait, what?! No way!"

Her surprise seemed genuine. After all, Mollie had always come off as nothing more than a gold digger, and she appeared to have been just another one of Darien's victims. Who could've guessed she was behind the whole thing?

Erin swallowed hard, still trying to wrap her head around it.

Keira then glanced at her. "Come with me for a second."

Erin quickly nodded, glancing triumphantly at Ryan and Lewis. Ha, beat that! She thought. See? Keira pulled me aside the moment I got here!

Sticking her tongue out playfully, she made a smug face at the two men and followed Keira away from the group.

Once they were far enough away that no one could hear, Keira asked her point-blank, "I'll ask you again. Are you sure the South family's prophecies are accurate?"

Erin's expression turned serious as she answered with conviction, "I swear, they're real. Absolutely. The South family's predictions have never been wrong. Not once. You think Ryan almost got in a car accident because you stopped him, right? But have you considered that if you hadn't stopped him, he might've gotten into a worse accident on the highway? If he had left, we wouldn't even know where it would've happened!"

Keira stared at her for a moment, then said, "But it was Lion who set up the 10 a.m. timing."

Erin froze. "What? That's impossible!"

Keira was about to say something else, but Erin suddenly interjected, "Wait, I think I know what's going on!"

"Go on," Keira urged.
