Divorced and Pregnant My New Life with a Billionaire Drives My Ex Crazy novel Chapter 416

Sophie swore at Amaya in her head, biting back the urge to roll her eyes. If Amaya kept spinning her wild stories, they’d all end up caught. Sophie glanced around the room, then suddenly pointed to a pile of foam sheets stuffed in the corner.

“Wait, look over there. What’s that?” she said, her voice sharp with urgency. “Could someone be hiding behind it?”

The idea hung in the air. Honestly, if there was anywhere in this cluttered basement to stash someone, that was the spot. Sophie figured if Amaya could prove Wiona was hiding there, and her aunt was still missing, then maybe Wiona had dragged her aunt off with her. But the logic didn’t add up. How was a pregnant woman supposed to move someone who was completely out cold? Amaya had made sure earlier that her aunt wouldn’t wake for at least two hours.

Giana’s face was starting to darken, her patience clearly running out. She was no fool. Tonight was turning into a mess, and she could see it wasn’t going to be easily explained away. Thank God she hadn’t brought too many people along. If this chaos got out, the Simpson family name would be dragged through the mud.

Giana cut in, her tone cool but loaded. “Ms. Clements, you’re a lawyer. I trust you.” She snapped her fingers. “Go check behind those sheets.”

Sophie’s heart stopped for a second. Did Giana suspect her? She tried to keep her voice steady. “I’m just guessing here. But if my aunt really was here and now she’s gone, I’m honestly worried about her.”

She let the worry show on her face, tugging at Giana’s sympathy. Giana gave a short nod. After all, everyone knew Sophie and Mrs. Sullivan were as close as real family. It wouldn’t make sense for Sophie to be involved.

But when the Simpson men yanked back the foam sheets, there was nothing but empty floor. No sign of Wiona, no sign of Annette. They tore through the whole basement, flipping boxes and checking every corner. Still nothing. Not even a stray shoe.
