Divorced and Pregnant My New Life with a Billionaire Drives My Ex Crazy novel Chapter 174

Korey hit the brakes hard, the Lincoln screeching to a stop. “Right now? Should I call the flight team to be ready?”

Conrad was already pushing the car door open. “Don’t bother. I’ll fly us myself.”

He couldn’t shake the suspicion that his mother had planted a spy in the company. There was no way Sophie would show up at such a perfect moment unless someone told her exactly when he’d had the soup. Now, Conrad trusted no one at the executive level except Korey, his one true confidant. Even the flight crew wasn’t safe. For all he knew, they could fly him to some unknown destination, and he’d be just as trapped as before. His mother’s methods were ruthless when it came to controlling her own son. He had to stay on guard.

Korey scrambled into the helicopter, nerves making his hands shake. If only he had his pilot’s license, Mr. Sullivan wouldn’t have to risk his life flying in this condition. He couldn’t help but blame himself as he buckled in, convinced this might be his last ride. Sorry, Mom and Dad…

But then, as the helicopter lifted into the night, Korey’s fear twisted into awe. Even though Mr. Sullivan looked ready to collapse, his control of the aircraft was flawless. They rose steadily over Stonehill, every movement smooth and sure, as if nothing could shake him. That was Mr. Sullivan for you.

The helicopter headed straight for Hawthorne Hall. With a loud whirring, they touched down on the wide lawn in front of the main house. The staff were waiting with a medical team, ready to go. The moment the chopper settled, Libby rushed up to help Conrad out of the pilot’s seat.

“Sir, are you alright?”

Conrad took off his helmet, wiping sweat from his forehead. He gave a short nod. “Is the bath ready?” His voice was raw and raspy.

Libby sounded anxious. “Just as you said, sir, we filled the tub with plenty of ice. The antidote will take some time to prepare, so you’ll need a cold bath first to help with the symptoms. But, sir, after all the injuries you’ve had over the years, an ice bath could really harm you. Maybe we should—”

Conrad cut him off with a cold stare. “If you act on your own, you’re done here. Leave the Sullivan family for good.”

Libby’s heart skipped a beat. Getting fired would be a disaster, not just for her but for her mother too. He clamped his mouth shut and, with Korey’s help, hurried Conrad upstairs to the mentor bedroom.

As soon as they got inside, Jason moved in to draw Conrad’s blood for testing. They needed to know exactly what they were dealing with before they could mix up an antidote.

“Mr. Sullivan, at the earliest, it’ll be fifteen minutes,” Jason said.

Before anyone could say more, alarms blared through the estate, the piercing sound echoing everywhere and making everyone freeze.
