Divorced and Pregnant My New Life with a Billionaire Drives My Ex Crazy novel Chapter 129

Conrad fixed his eyes on her. “I haven’t fully confirmed it yet. But when the truth comes out, you’re going to be seriously shocked.”

They didn’t get a chance to dig any deeper. Suddenly, the ballroom erupted with noise. Wiona glanced over and, of course, it was Jace and Kellen again. Those two always managed to steal the spotlight, no matter where they went.

Tonight, though, the person butting heads with them caught Wiona completely off guard. It was Taylor.

The three of them were arguing about something, voices growing sharper. Wiona’s eyes sparkled with interest. “Now that’s what I call entertainment.”

Conrad noticed the excitement on her face and immediately walked after her, making sure to shield her from the crowd’s chaos. His tall figure was like a wall, giving Wiona a safe bubble amid the jostling guests.

Some married woman she was. What wife got this hyped up to watch her own husband and his side piece cause a scene? Probably only her, Conrad thought with a sigh.

“Get out of my way!” Taylor snapped at Kellen, his voice rough with anger. “Don’t come over here and ruin my night.”

He was definitely in a bad mood. But Jace wasn’t about to stand by and let anyone embarrass Kellen in front of him. Without warning, he landed a punch right on Taylor’s jaw.

“I gave you a little respect and you actually thought you were important?” Jace sneered. “Taylor Brown, before you throw a fit, maybe you should remember who you’re messing with. Don’t go picking a fight with the Salisbury family.”

The moment Jace said those words, all the fight drained out of Taylor. He stared at Jace, stunned. “Salisbury? You’re with the Salisbury family?”

Taylor took a step back, looking spooked, then spun around and hurried out of the ballroom.

Wiona was floored. Famous artists like Taylor never acted so intimidated by rich kids. What was going on? He’d just been punched and humiliated, and he didn’t even try to fight back.

Right then, Wiona spotted Bronwen, Nicholas, and their friends entering the ballroom. They’d just missed Taylor and were wandering around, scanning the room for him. Wiona’s heart skipped a beat. She quickly spun around and ducked behind Conrad, who managed to shield her completely with his size.

He looked down at her, eyes narrowing playfully. “Is this another one of Ms. Morgan’s accidental closenesses?”

Wiona didn’t even have a comeback.

He hung up and told Lewis to drive away. He still didn’t understand why Wiona seemed to be hiding from the Salisbury family, but because of Alice, he was willing to give her every convenience and treat her like a VIP.

Wiona stepped into the suite and realized the hotel belonged to the Sullivan Group. Oh well, might as well enjoy it. She knew Conrad was only being so attentive because of Alice and because she was W. She was exhausted. Everything else could wait until tomorrow.

She fell asleep the second her head hit the pillow. Later, her butler quietly brought her a silk nightgown, tucked her in, and pulled the curtains shut.

When Wiona woke up the next morning, a delicious, healthy breakfast was waiting for her. And that wasn’t all. George rolled in two racks of gorgeous designer clothes for her to choose from. Once she’d picked an outfit, a team of beauticians arrived to help her get ready.

While Wiona was living the high life and enjoying her luxury stay, the Salisbury estate had turned into total chaos.

“Ma’am, Mrs. Salisbury… she really isn’t in her room,” a maid reported, voice shaking. “We searched everywhere. Her room, the garden, the whole estate. She’s just… gone.”

Grandma Grace clutched at her chest, struggling to breathe.
