Divorced and Pregnant My New Life with a Billionaire Drives My Ex Crazy novel Chapter 311

Wiona blinked, wondering if she’d heard wrong.

“Are you out of your mind?”

“When did I ever take your grandmother’s inheritance?”

Jace stared her down, his steps slow and deliberate, a cold sneer twisting his mouth.

“Still lying?”

“Wiona, I used to think you were so upright, but you’re just like everyone else after all.”

“Maybe you just hadn’t been tempted enough before. Otherwise, why would you move in here and let yourself be someone’s sugar baby?”

“Jean told me everything.”

“She said Grandma left you the chair of her foundation, plus the Salisbury Bank shares.”

“If you’d just hand those over, you could save Salisbury Corporation. You could help us out of this mess.”

“Well, I’ve lost everything already. Grandma, Mom, the board, and… you.”

“I might never get another shot at being the heir. Isn’t that punishment enough? What else do you want from me?”

“Salisbury Corporation was built by my grandfather, and it’s been my father’s life’s work.”

“So why are you so heartless? Why are you just standing by, letting it all fall apart, and pretending you don’t have what Grandma left you?”

“Wiona, this is enough.”

“No matter how much you hate me, hasn’t it gone far enough?”

Jace turned everything upside down, blaming her for his own mess, but Wiona didn’t even feel all that angry anymore.

She just turned away, walked inside, grabbed a handful of muddy grass from the lawn, and came back to fling it straight at him.

“You are sick!”

“Don’t come here anymore!”

Jace barely managed to block it. If he’d been a second slower, his face would’ve been covered in mud, though his designer suit was already a lost cause.

He gaped at her, clearly shocked she’d do something so childish. He was about to lash out when Wiona jabbed a finger at his nose.

“Back up!”

“And shut up!”

“What else are you going to spit out?”

“I’ve got my divorce papers. I’m done putting up with your nonsense!”

“Remember this. Right now, you and your precious Salisbury family are the ones begging me, not the other way around.”

“Wiona, I want to be your little shadow. You can’t leave me behind…”

The maids, who had followed anxiously, watched in amazement as Alice calmed down at Wiona’s side. They looked at each other, tears glistening in their eyes.

“This is amazing. Only Ms. Morgan can do this.”

“Remember last time, when the young miss hid under the bed and wouldn’t come out? Ms. Morgan was the only one who could coax her.”

“Exactly. Besides the doctor’s sedatives, only Ms. Morgan and the master have ever been able to calm her down.”

“No, not even the master, honestly.”

“Ms. Morgan is the only one who can help her, really. The young miss is going to get better now.”

Remy let out a deep breath, visibly relieved. She stepped forward too.

“Ms. Morgan, it’s true. She’ll only listen to you now.”

“Earlier, when we wouldn’t let her see you, you have no idea—she almost tore the roof off, and even slapped Donna right across the face.”

“And if I’m not mistaken, this is the first time in two years she’s come this far from the main house.”

Wait. Did that mean Alice hadn’t left Hawthorne Hall in two years? That she’d been stuck here, her whole world reduced to just this estate?

Wiona’s heart twisted with shock and pity. She reached out and gently stroked Alice’s head.
