Divorced and Pregnant My New Life with a Billionaire Drives My Ex Crazy novel Chapter 246

Jace stared at Wiona, completely lost. “Wait a second, Wiona, are you sure you’re not misunderstanding… just—hold on.” The realization hit him hard. “Are you saying they kidnapped Grandma because they want some kind of secret from her?”

Wiona met his gaze, her expression serious. Finally, he was starting to put the pieces together. Ever since Grandma Grace disappeared, the Salisbury family had convinced themselves it was outsiders, people after money. Not once had Jace thought to suspect his own mother.

Sure, it was about money—but the real threat wasn’t a stranger. It was someone from inside their family.

“No way… How could I not know any of this? This can’t be right…” Jace was pale, struggling to accept what was unfolding right in front of him. But reality didn’t give him time to process. Footsteps echoed from the stairwell, and a group appeared. The usual black-clad guards were there, but three masked figures followed—two ladies and a man.

The moment they locked eyes, Wiona knew exactly who they were. She wasn’t sure if Grandma Grace recognized them, but she’d had her suspicions for a while, and now everything made sense.

Just as she’d guessed. The tall woman in the black coat was her ex-mother-in-law, Alona. The one in the blue puffer jacket, with that unmistakable coldness, was her former sister-in-law, Bianca. And the man in the black suit… that had to be Sam.

Alona and Bianca both froze, shock written all over their faces. They’d expected to see Grandma Grace and Wiona here, but not Jace. Bianca gasped softly. Alona grabbed Sam’s arm and pulled him aside, her voice low and furious. “Sam, what are you doing? Why is Jace here? He’s my son. What’s your plan? What if he recognizes us?”

Sam just shrugged, unfazed. “So what? Didn’t you say he’s on your side? Even if he figures it out, he’s not going to out you in front of his grandma. He’ll probably help you cover it up. Honestly, this is the perfect excuse for him to walk away clean. When you get what you want, you can let him have it later and no one will suspect a thing. Look, it’s too late to back out. You should focus on getting the truth out of the old lady.”

There was no turning back now. Alona clenched her jaw, angry but resigned. “Don’t touch my son,” she snapped. “You can do what you want to the rest.”

Sam lifted an eyebrow, a hint of amusement in his eyes. It was obvious now how much she hated her daughter-in-law and mother-in-law. Perfect. Last time, Conrad had messed with him because of Wiona, and Sam wasn’t about to forget that.

He barked an order. “Tie them up.”

The guards seized Wiona and Jace, tying each of them to a pillar. Jace glared at Alona and Bianca, his face dark, refusing to say a word. Bianca couldn’t even look at him, and Alona turned away, pretending not to see.
