Divorced and Pregnant My New Life with a Billionaire Drives My Ex Crazy novel Chapter 858

"But be careful, gentlemen," Conrad added with a smirk. "Judging a book by its cover can be fatal."

The men in black were slightly perplexed by his warning, but they quickly dismissed it as the desperate bravado of a defeated man. So much for the legendary, ruthless Mr. Sullivan. He was nothing but an empty suit who folded at the first sign of real danger. They had wasted their energy preparing for a brutal fight, and now they felt entirely unsatisfied, denied the thrill of crushing Stonehill's most powerful CEO under their boots.

"After you, Mr. Sullivan," the leader sneered.

Conrad shot Ryan a meaningful look, shoved his hands into his pockets, and casually followed the thugs straight into their obvious trap.

Elsewhere, Wiona was fighting the urge to throw up from the violently bumpy ride. Originally, her captor had carried her carefully in his arms. But for some inexplicable reason, after staring intently at her face for a moment, he suddenly flipped her over and slung her over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. Wiona rolled her eyes, barely restraining the urge to stab the needle hidden in her sleeve directly into the man's neck.

Her cousins had prepared the needle for her in advance, along with the Clarity Pellets she had discreetly swallowed the moment she noticed the strange scent in her bedroom. The medicine, an exclusive remedy of the Blue family, ensured her mind remained sharp. The hidden needle was her final line of defense, targeting specific acupressure points that would instantly paralyze an opponent. However, she held back. Unless it was absolutely necessary, she couldn't risk alerting the enemy. That was exactly why she had feigned unconsciousness and allowed this man to carry her out of the cabin.

After what felt like an eternity, the man finally stopped. Before Wiona could even sigh in relief, she was dumped onto the floor. She maintained her limp posture, but she felt a hand gently brush the loose hair from her face, exposing her features to the light.

"What a shame, such a beautiful face," a voice muttered.

Allen chuckled darkly. "But he's not as invincible as you think either. My dear daughter, we now have both husband and wife in the palms of our hands. This is your chance."

Sophie fell silent.

"I heard you suffered several crushing defeats at the hands of this woman," Allen pressed on. "Do you really want to throw this opportunity away? Sophie, I do care about you. Think about it. Since you came back, haven't I treated you better than anyone else in the Thompson family?"
