Divorced and Pregnant My New Life with a Billionaire Drives My Ex Crazy novel Chapter 547

Wave after wave of pain crashed over Annette, leaving her lost in a sea of grief. Her whole world had shattered. The agony was so heavy, she didn’t even have the strength to cry out. All she could do was sob the same words, again and again. “Why... Why did you do it? He was your own brother!”

Her voice was raw and broken. “I heard Jonathan say it himself. When you were born, he was the one who took care of you. He rocked you to sleep, fed you, taught you how to walk and talk. He went to every single one of your school meetings. Before Conrad was born, he gave you all his love, treated you like his own son. Why? Why did you do it? Was that car accident really you? Devin, are you some kind of monster?”

Devin looked empty, the fight gone from his body. The devil who had terrified them was now nothing more than a limp shell, letting Annette shake him without resistance. He didn’t say a word, just curled his lips into a twisted smile and stared at her. There was relief in his eyes. The secret was finally out.

Conrad stepped forward, reaching for Annette’s shoulder. He held her steady. “Mom...”

Annette’s eyes blazed as she looked at her son. “When did you find out the truth? Was it in France? Did you set all this up just to trap him, to end it once and for all?”

Conrad nodded slowly, his jaw clenched. “Devin has no weaknesses. The only bit of humanity left in him was his bond with Grandma. To get to him, I had to disturb her grave. But when we opened the coffin, I found her diary, her will, and... evidence she’d collected when she learned Devin was the killer. Still, she chose to forgive her youngest son, to let him go. But she could never forgive herself. The guilt and the pain ate her alive. In the end, she took her own life.”

“She deserved that!” Annette screamed, her rage blazing out of control. She had nowhere to pour all that fury except into shouting, her words sharp and wild. “She spoiled her younger son, but wasn’t Jonathan her child too? All those years, when Jonathan tried to give her precious boy a lesson, after he and his father sent that animal away, how did she treat Jonathan? She ignored him, completely. Even when Jonathan traveled all the way to Europe to see her, she turned him away, over and over. She hated Jonathan, but she never hated the son who killed people. Jonathan suffered so much as her child, but she didn’t deserve to be his mother. If there’s another life, or another after that, I hope Jonathan is never her son again!”
