Divorced and Pregnant My New Life with a Billionaire Drives My Ex Crazy novel Chapter 436

She even drugged her own son just to help Sophie. She really did like Sophie and had always hoped they would end up together. After all, they weren’t actually blood relatives.

But Conrad never saw Sophie that way. He would rather suffer in silence than be with her.

After that, Annette finally understood where her son stood, and she stopped trying to force the issue. Every time she pushed, it only led to arguments and made the distance between them grow.

Now, Conrad had someone else he was completely in love with. As his mother, how could she not want him to be happy? Of course she would give them her blessing.

Besides, Wiona was a genuinely good person. And after everything that had happened today, for Sophie to still be saying these things... Annette couldn’t help but feel completely disappointed.

She yanked her hand out of Sophie’s grasp.

“So you’re still not going to admit it?” Her voice shook with anger. “You’re really going to pretend none of this was your doing, that you and Amaya didn’t plan all of it together? Sophie, don’t bother denying it. Twenty years—I’ve known you for twenty years. And I heard what you said to her in the basement. Wiona did too. Sure, you didn’t leave any proof, but do you think I can just ignore everything I heard? You’re still trying to lie to me. I can’t believe you.”

Annette’s anger boiled over. She stood up and slapped Sophie hard across the face.

“How did you become such a cruel girl?”

“What’s going on? Are you feeling okay?”

Wiona wanted to scream that she hadn’t been okay for a while. The aphrodisiac in her system left her burning up inside. It hadn’t been as bad when she was outside in the cold, but now, inside the warm room, sweat trickled down her forehead.

Conrad noticed right away that something was wrong. He pressed his hand gently to her forehead, his voice suddenly gentle. “You’re burning up. Wiona, are you sick?”

Without saying a word, Wiona pushed Conrad down onto the sofa. She climbed onto his lap, straddling him and facing him directly. With both hands, she cupped his face and leaned in, kissing him.
