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."
