Ellie's body swayed slightly.
She felt as though her world was collapsing.
When she first heard that Darien had bribed Fiona, she didn't believe it. She thought Darien wouldn't hurt her. But when Mollie stepped forward to admit it just now, she decided to believe it.
But she never expected...
She never expected herself to truly be such a fool, a hopeless fool!
The mastermind behind it all really turned out to be Darien!
Ellie took a deep breath, overwhelmed by shock and disbelief with no outlet for her emotions. She wanted to breathe loudly, to scream, to escape everything...
But a hand firmly gripped her wrist, refusing to let her take off the headset, as if forcing her to confront the bloody truth.
Ellie closed her eyes and covered her ears. She crouched down to the ground, muttering, "No way... He saved my life… How could it be… It can't be like this…"
