My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire！

Keira immediately pulled out her gun and aimed it at her. "Don't move, or I'll shoot!"

Mollie froze in place.

She slowly turned her head back, and Keira let out a breath. But the next second, Mollie flashed a smile and said, "I bet you won't."

With that, she bolted!

Keira's mind raced. Sure, she had trained with her master in Oceanion, but most of her time was spent on research. She had never actually fired a gun!

She stared at Mollie's retreating figure and then at the gun in her hand.

After a moment's hesitation, she bit her lip and aimed at Mollie's knee. If she hit her leg, it wouldn't be lethal, but she'd stop her from running.

She pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"

Mollie dodged in a quick, zigzag motion, disappearing into the alley!

Keira cursed herself for missing, and just as she prepared to give chase, Mollie backed out of the alley, hands raised.

Ryan stepped out behind her, holding his own gun.

Mollie eyed him, her lips curling. "I bet you won't shoot either."

She twisted, trying to escape down the other side, but Lewis appeared, blocking her way.

Mollie froze. Keira was inexperienced—no threat. Ryan, bound by his status, couldn't kill freely. But Lewis? Lewis was the one she feared most.

He didn't say much, but the cold, murderous intent in his eyes spoke volumes. The scent of death clung to him—he had killed before, no doubt about it.

Mollie knew better than to move. One wrong step, and this man would end her.

Keira quickly cuffed Mollie's hands behind her back, binding her tightly so she couldn't escape again.

She finally asked, "Who sent you?"

Mollie smirked. "I'm only after the Cobb family."

Keira frowned.

Mollie's eyes flicked to Ryan. "You should remember the Greenes, right?"

Ryan's expression stiffened, his brow furrowing.

Mollie chuckled bitterly. "I'm not Mollie Francis. My real name is Mollie Greene."

Ryan's eyes widened. "You're their illegitimate child?"

"That's right! Your family wiped mine out. My father is still locked up because of you people. I'm here for revenge!" Mollie shouted.

Keira glanced at Ryan.

He remained calm. "Our families have been enemies for generations. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Keira understood. This was an old grudge not worth digging into.

She wasn't one to pry into personal matters, so she shifted back to Mollie. "So, you're using Darien Britt for revenge? What's your plan?"

Mollie sneered. "What plan? The Cobb estate is locked down like Fort Knox. There's no way in, and I can't even bribe a servant because they're all too loyal! I'm just one woman. I had to use what I had."

Ryan looked at her coldly. "As far as I know, the Greene family never acknowledged you. So when everything went down, we never held you responsible. Why bother?"

Mollie fell silent for a moment.

Then, with a low, bitter laugh, she met Ryan's gaze. "You people born into privilege will never understand the pain of being a bastard child. It's easy to talk when you've never lived it. We crave recognition, acceptance from the family. So, even if I die today, news of my death will reach my father, and when it does, I'll finally be entered into the family records."

Ryan pressed his lips together. He couldn't fully grasp her obsession with status, but he could respect it.

He had seen people sacrifice everything for a cause, for their beliefs, or to defend their country.

He decided not to pursue the matter further and asked, "Were you the one who hypnotized Ellie?"

Mollie laughed coldly. "That's right. Even though the Greene family never accepted me, they sent me a lot of money after they heard I was still alive. It was enough to hire a hypnotist. The Cobbs are too cautious, too heartless. I had no choice but to start with the most innocent one—Ellie. Then I picked Darien, using him as a bridge to get closer to her. I waited three years, and the only chance I had was to kill Ellie. But you? You were my real target."

Mollie's hands were tied, but her eyes remained venomous as she glared at Ryan. "Killing Ellie wasn't worth it. I wanted to take you down with me. If the eldest Cobb son dies, your father will be devastated, won't he? Ha!"

Keira immediately picked up on the flaw in her plan. "If you wanted Ryan dead, why did you sabotage Ellie's car? How could you have known it would crash into him?"
