Divorced and Pregnant My New Life with a Billionaire Drives My Ex Crazy novel Chapter 557

She wasn’t clueless. Wiona had figured out a while ago why he hadn’t come back to their room. He must have been off somewhere, trying to recover. She just hadn’t bothered to call him out on it.

Now that she knew he was almost healed, she finally let herself relax. The whole thing earlier was just her messing around. She was never really mad at him. She’d been worried about his injuries for days. Without those dauly updates from Remy, she probably would have rushed to check on him herself, pain or no pain. She just wanted to give him a little dignity.

Men, she thought, shaking her head.

He said five minutes, but of course he was late. Wiona came out of the room, cheeks still pink, with Conrad walking her out himself. She was so flustered she couldn’t even look at Annette.

Annette, on the other hand, looked delighted.

“Come on, let’s go for a walk. I heard the apple trees in the east garden are blooming.”

Conrad seemed like he wanted to join, but Phil came looking for him. He just said, “Let’s have lunch together later,” then made sure a few more people followed them before heading back to work.

Even though Conrad had been home these days, he was still handling business. Under his careful management, the Sullivan Group’s wild stock price was finally calming down.

As for what happened at the Sullivan estate that day, Conrad dealt with the police and managed to keep everything under wraps. Not a single rumor got out.

The Clements family had lost two people—Joe and his wife. The truth came out at the police station. Sue had been stabbed by Devin. Joe had taken Annette hostage and ended up falling off a cliff by accident.

The Clements family was stunned, but they had no choice but to accept it. None of them dared to make a fuss. They all knew that if they upset the Sullivan family, it would be the end of them. So, they quickly released a public statement: Mr. and Mrs. Clements had died in an accident while traveling abroad.

The Simpson and Morgan families kept quiet too. Giana, especially, didn’t say a word to her family after she got home. The Clements family’s announcement made her even more anxious. She knew it wasn’t the real story. She knew the Clements couple’s deaths had something to do with the Sullivans.

All she could do was find Madison in private and warn her. Whatever happened at the Sullivan estate that day had to stay a secret, buried forever. If the truth got out, the Simpson family might not survive.

Madison understood. She wasn’t about to talk.

The Morgans weren’t going to say anything either. Everyone knew what happened if you crossed the Sullivan Group, and besides, they all cared about Wiona. They didn’t need anyone to remind them to keep quiet.

There was no trouble from the media. With Conrad in charge, keeping things steady at the Sullivan Group was easy.
