Divorced and Pregnant My New Life with a Billionaire Drives My Ex Crazy novel Chapter 548

“I want him to truly feel the payback he deserves, right down to the pain and despair.”

Devin’s head snapped up and he glared at Conrad. “You… What have you done? Conrad, you little bastard, what else did you do?”

He tried to fight back, this time actually managing to steady himself a little. Blood was smeared at the corner of his mouth. Shakily, he pushed himself off the ground and forced himself upright. Conrad didn’t flinch, just kept moving closer, eyes fixed on Devin.

“You really thought I never questioned my father’s ‘accident’? Even if I couldn’t catch you, even if I didn’t know who the real culprit was, the clues you left behind led me to your Stonehill hideout a long time ago. The boss behind the Smokescreen Bar—Eason—that’s you, isn’t it? Uncle, you’ve been sneaking back into the country, pulling your little tricks… Did you really think I was clueless? I just wanted to see what you’d try right under my nose. In the end, this is all you’ve got.”

Devin stumbled back, eyes wide with shock. Conrad had been watching him all this time, quietly, without him noticing.

Wiona stared in disbelief. Devin was Eason from the Smokescreen Bar? The same Eason she’d dealt with before? Realization hit her, sending a cold chill through her chest.

No wonder, she thought. When she sent someone to deliver that painting recently, she’d heard the bar was almost deserted, its influence nothing like before. Some of Devin’s men had been called away, and Conrad had also been making trouble for him in secret, chipping away at his power.

No wonder Devin had so many people with him at Hawthorne Hall, walking around like he owned the place. He really did have a force behind him, one that could go toe to toe with Conrad’s. But he underestimated Conrad. Conrad had already figured out who he was, and before today’s trap was sprung, he’d quietly dismantled Devin’s sharpest weapons. Even faking his own death was all part of drawing out Devin’s true face, exposing every crime, and settling every score.

Conrad wasn’t done yet. He stopped moving, because Devin was standing right at the edge of the cliff. One more step and he’d fall, just like Joe had earlier. But that would be too easy.
