Divorced and Pregnant My New Life with a Billionaire Drives My Ex Crazy novel Chapter 701

Devin brought his men to the Sullivan family cemetery, fully armed. Only a group like Y could pull off something so quietly, getting their hands on guns without anyone noticing. Only they could turn the whole situation upside down and leave everyone guessing. But if it really was Y, what did they want? Was this about the Sullivan family, or was there something else going on?

Wiona's thoughts were tangled up in knots. She couldn't make sense of anything.

Conrad gently ran his fingers through her hair. “If you can’t figure it out, just let it go for now,” he said softly. “If Y is really behind this, their true colors will show sooner or later. All we need to do is be ready for anything. Then there’s nothing to be afraid of.”

He gave her a reassuring look. “Wiona, you have me.”

“Get some sleep.”

“Tomorrow, I’ll go with you to the detention center. Maybe you’ll be able to talk to Louisa.”

Wiona nodded. She’d been thinking the same thing. “I do want to see Louisa. And... I’ve made up my mind about something.”

Conrad raised his brows, curious. “What have you decided?”

She took a breath. “Next month, I want to go to Easton Heights. My grandparents are having a birthday. And then there’s the Thompson family. They’ve tried so many times to keep me from finding my real family, always trying to trip me up. If I don’t show up and face them, wouldn’t that make me a coward?”

She hesitated, then pressed on. “Conrad, I have to know what really happened to my mom. Her death might not be an accident.”

“And I want to find my dad. I need to know who he is. Did he die? Or did he just not want to take responsibility for my mom? Did he not want me? Why hasn’t he shown up once in all these years, not even after my mom died twenty-four years ago?”

“If he’s from the Thompson family, if he’s just a jerk... I won’t let him get away with it.”

Her hands curled into tight fists. After becoming a mom herself, it was even harder to understand how anyone could just abandon their own child. If her father really was that kind of man, someone who tricked her mother and left her to die, then he deserved whatever was coming.

Conrad listened quietly, then gently pried her fingers open, one by one, until her palm lay open, red from how hard she’d been gripping. He lifted her hand to his lips and kissed the spot softly, his eyes full of concern.

“Alright. I’ll go with you.”

“Wiona, you’re the lady of the Sullivan family now. There’s no one and nothing you need to be afraid of. Be bold, do whatever you want. Remember, I’ll always be behind you.”

He smiled. “But for now... it’s late.”

“Time for bed.”

Conrad stood up, scooped her up in his arms, and carried her straight to the huge bed.

“You get some sleep. I need to handle a few things in the study.”
