Mollie instinctively stepped back, clutching her bag.

It was a crocodile-skin Hermès, worth a fortune.

Darien lunged forward, trying to snatch it!

Mollie immediately shouted, "That's mine!"

Darien paused for a moment.

Ellie smirked, "Yours? You're part of this unpaid meal, too. If you can't cover the bill, none of you are leaving!"

With that, Mollie hesitated, letting Darien hand the bag over to the manager.

The manager examined it. "This has some depreciation. I'll count it as a hundred grand. You're still short by over a hundred thousand."

Darien's eyes darted to Mollie's hair. Perched there was a diamond clip, one he'd asked Ellie to buy for her on her birthday last year.

How ironic.

The truth was, Mollie's most valuable belongings were always with her.

Without waiting for Ellie's next command, Darien ripped the clip from her hair!

Mollie's hair was now a mess, but Darien wasn't done. He yanked off her bracelet, her rings, and even her five-thousand-dollar Chanel earrings.

The manager collected the items, placing them on a tray. "These earrings? Maybe two grand—used. The hairclip, seven thousand. Bracelet? Market's down; it's only worth five now."
