Divorced and Pregnant My New Life with a Billionaire Drives My Ex Crazy novel Chapter 537

Sophie stared at her stepfather, completely thrown. “What… what are you trying to do?”

Mr. Clements let out a snort. “Didn’t you hear me? Sure, Conrad pulled that fake-death stunt, but who knows if he’s actually won or lost? Now there’s trouble at the estate and honestly, Devin’s got the upper hand.”

“That’s not a sure thing,” Sophie shot back, her voice sharp. “And even if Devin wins, I’m not marrying him.”

She knew she wasn’t a saint, but Devin was on a whole other level. The thought of marrying him, even if it meant getting back at Wiona and the others, made her skin crawl. How would she ever get away? He’s so twisted, she’d be lucky to survive a few years, let alone grow old.

Mr. Clements didn’t see it that way. He gave her a look full of disappointment. “He already made the offer. You really think you get to decide? If Devin wins, that’s your best shot at becoming the Sullivan family’s matriarch. Devin even said he likes women who are tough and ruthless. If you get rid of Wiona, you’ll be proving yourself to him. And if Conrad loses and you make sure his line ends here, then the Sullivan family’s future could be yours. Devin’s already proposed to you, Sophie. Don’t you want him to win? Or are you really that pathetic, still obsessing over Conrad, who won’t even look at you?”

Sophie’s face turned pale with anger.

Mrs. Clements, seeing her daughter’s distress, quickly reached out to her husband. “Stop pushing her. I… I really don’t think Devin’s a good person. Maybe we should just let it go for now.”

Mr. Clements shoved her away, furious. “Are you stupid? Why would we just let it go? We’ve already cut ties with my sister because of all this. Do you think we have any way back? We either take this chance, or we’re done with the Sullivan family for good. My sister’s no help to us now, so why not find a stronger connection? That’s it, I’ve decided. Sophie, don’t think I don’t know you hate Wiona too. Don’t you want her gone?”

Sophie felt every old resentment boiling up. She thought about how Conrad hadn’t even glanced at her, how everyone was always so quick to fuss over Wiona. The truth was, she hated her. She hated her more than anything. But she also knew the law… Still, today might be the one day she could get away with anything.

Meanwhile, Wiona and her group had only made it a few hundred meters before she had to stop, holding her belly and struggling to catch her breath. She leaned against a tree, exhausted.
