Divorced and Pregnant My New Life with a Billionaire Drives My Ex Crazy novel Chapter 430

“If even you don’t believe me, what am I supposed to do?” Sophie’s voice trembled, but Annette just stared at her, cold and unmoved.

“Enough. I’m not blind and I’m not deaf. Why don’t you start by telling me how I ended up unconscious in that basement?”

Sophie’s eyes filled with tears. “But I swear, it wasn’t me.” She saw the disbelief in Annette’s face and turned her anger toward Wiona. “Are you happy now, Wiona? You said all those things just to make my aunt hate me. Well, you got what you wanted. You stole my aunt, and you stole Conrad… Why do you have to take everything from me?”

A man’s voice cut through the tension. “Since when did me and my mother become yours, Sophie?”

The room fell silent as a tall man stepped out from behind Wiona. He wore black, his hair was short and neat, and his face was striking, all sharp lines and strong features. Sophie’s heart clenched. This was the man she’d secretly loved since she first learned what love was.

His eyes were cold, almost icy, and there was a dangerous edge to his gaze that made Sophie shrink back. She stumbled, grabbing the armrest of a chair before sinking into it, defeated.

When Annette chose Wiona’s side, Sophie knew she had lost. She hated how easily she’d been cornered, how completely she’d been beaten. Now Conrad was here, and it was all over. She didn’t even know when he had arrived or how much he’d heard. Her face went pale, and all the confidence she’d shown moments ago just vanished.

Wiona turned, startled. “When did you get here?”

Wiona tried to offer a smile, hoping to smooth things over. She’d left him a signal at home, she just hadn’t expected everything to get so out of hand. As soon as trouble started, Nikolai had called him. In the end, nothing terrible had happened, but he was still furious. Stuck between Conrad and his mother, Wiona felt completely torn.

She gave him a small, apologetic grin, but Conrad only glared harder, teeth clenched. “We’ll talk about this when we get home.”

On the other side of the room, the rest of the Simpson family stood stiff, still reeling from what Conrad had just said about wiping their family out.

Giana tried to wriggle free from Peter’s hold. “Mr. Sullivan, now that your wife is safe, can you please tell your man to let me go? Our family’s been caught in the middle of your drama all day. I think Ms. Clements owes us an explanation.”
