Divorced and Pregnant My New Life with a Billionaire Drives My Ex Crazy novel Chapter 167

Grandma Grace’s face twisted with desperation. “No, Wiona… please, let me explain…”

Wiona gently pulled her hand away, her voice calm and steady. “Maybe you found out by accident that I was W. Maybe it was because your husband loved collecting art, and you thought I was a good fit for the Salisbury family. My background, my family, all of it seemed to match what you wanted. When I didn’t immediately agree to marry into the family, you got nervous. So you went to Taylor, and together you rigged that competition. You made sure I lost and forced me out of the art world.”

“This is the last time I’ll call you Grandma,” Wiona said, her eyes steady. “Your scheming ruined the only good thing I ever felt about the Salisbury family. Did you know, you were the only one I ever saw as family here? But you never truly cared about me. You just wanted a daughter-in-law you’d chosen yourself, someone you thought was good enough for your family. No matter how awful Jace was, no matter how many times he cheated, no matter how he destroyed my dignity as his wife, you wanted me to stay. Even when he brought his mistress home, even when he humiliated me again and again, even when he always chose someone else over me. Even when he, just like you, used fake kindness and patience to almost destroy me completely. Even when he and Alona nearly cost me my children, you still wanted me to bear it all, to become the perfect Salisbury wife you dreamed of.”

“You never once stood in my shoes, not even for a second. You just wanted to lock me in the Salisbury family with the tiny bit of kindness you offered for your own reasons. You cut off every escape I had. You were sure I’d never go back to painting, that the Morgan family had already abandoned me. You thought I would never really leave. And you know what? I was greedy. I thought maybe I could find real love here. I was wrong, and it’s my own fault for not seeing you all clearly. I’ve paid for that mistake.”

“Nnow that I know the truth, there’s no one left in the Salisbury family worth my patience or hope. I never cared about your family’s money or name. You can’t keep me here anymore. I’m divorcing Jace. That’s final.”

Wiona gave her a deep nod, then turned and walked away without a glance back, her steps firm and sure.

The words hit Grandma Grace like a punch. She reached out, trying to say something, but nothing came out except a rough, desperate gurgle.

“Wiona…”

Wiona didn’t look back. She didn’t even bother saying goodbye, just disappeared from her sight, gone for good.

The shock was too much for Grandma Grace. After just waking up, she suffered another heart attack and was rushed back into the emergency room.

Wiona stopped a doctor in the hall. “Please, do whatever you can to save her life.” The idea of Grandma Grace dying before seeing the divorce go through just felt wrong.
