Divorced and Pregnant My New Life with a Billionaire Drives My Ex Crazy novel Chapter 26

“Are you here to stir up drama and ruin the mood for everyone?

“It’s just a tea set, what’s so special about it?

“You can find sets like this anywhere. If you want more, I’ll buy you as many as you like. And what, only you get to own Cassian’s work? No one else can?

“Stop making a scene.

“Go sit down already.”

Wiona couldn’t help but find it all a bit funny.

She looked over at Jace, icy calm.

Was he actually anxious now? Worried about Kellen?

“That tea set is mine,” she said, her voice cool and steady. “It’s part of my wedding gifts.

“And there’s a number engraved on the bottom of every cup.

“It’s my birthday, September twenty-fifth.

“If you don’t believe me, just pick one up and look.”

Alona was first to snatch a cup.

There it was, plain as day—925.

Everyone else crowded around, curious to see for themselves.

Even Grandma Grace had Jean wheel her closer.

Someone gasped. “It really does say 925!”

“Wiona’s been at Mrs. Salisbury’s side this whole time. She didn’t even see the set before now, there’s no way she could’ve known. If she’s guessing, that’s just way too much of a coincidence.

“There’s no way this is some knockoff from the market. That’s Cassian’s real work.

“So it really is from Wiona’s wedding gifts…”

Then why was Kellen handing it over as a birthday present to Grandma Grace?

Everyone turned to Jace. His face was pale as a ghost.

There was nothing left to hide.

Jace had given away his own wife’s things to Kellen.

And he called her just his secretary?

No one in the Salisbury family believed that anymore.

They all watched Jace with a mix of shock and disappointment.

Even his own family thought he’d crossed a line.

Daniel’s voice was tight with anger. “Jace, care to explain?

“How did Wiona’s stuff end up with your secretary, being given away as a gift?

“If Wiona hadn’t proven it herself, we’d still be in the dark.”

Maybe spending thousands to please a woman wasn’t such a big deal.

But giving away your wife’s stuff? That was another level of disgrace.

It was an embarrassment to the entire Salisbury family.

Daniel’s cold stare landed on Kellen. He already saw her as nothing but trouble.

Kellen felt her knees go weak, nearly fainting from the pressure.

Alona saw her chance and jumped in to smooth things over.

“Well, since Kellen has unintentionally brought the tea set back to our family, there’s no need to make a big deal out of it.

“Why don’t we see what amazing gift Wiona has prepared for Mom?

“Maybe it’s even more impressive than Kellen’s. Otherwise, people might think Wiona was just jealous and making trouble for nothing.”

Alona could barely contain her smug excitement.

Once the old lady passed, all these treasures would be hers.

And after Wiona made such a scene, if her gift couldn’t compare to Kellen’s tea set, she’d be totally embarrassed tonight.

The more Wiona struggled, the happier Alona felt.

That heirloom bracelet on Wiona’s wrist only made her mood worse.

Alona was sure Wiona had nothing of value left to give.

She was living off the Salisbury family now. The Morgans weren’t helping her anymore.

Sure, maybe the Morgan family had the means to get something designed by Cassian for Wiona back then, but that was history.

What could she possibly pull out now?

But when Wiona’s gift box was opened, the whole room fell silent.

Bianca was the first to react. “Wait, isn’t that Vivian’s new design? The Flowing Emerald collection that’s all over social media?”

Kellen rushed over, her eyes wide with disbelief.

She almost screamed. How could this be happening?
