Divorced and Pregnant My New Life with a Billionaire Drives My Ex Crazy novel Chapter 296

“If that’s not enough, then marrying into the Salisbury family for the Morgans, giving up my own future and career, should be more than enough to repay you, right? Besides, wasn’t it because of your family’s enemies that Madison and I got switched at birth in the first place? Yes, I was the lucky one. I got to live in Madison’s world, enjoyed twenty-two years of luxury that should have been hers. I stole her life. But why is that my fault? Wasn’t I innocent too? Did I choose any of this? Even if I’d ended up in an orphanage, my real family would have found me. At least my life wouldn’t have been flipped upside down, and my family would actually feel like family. I wouldn’t have to live every day with this guilt, sneaking around like a criminal. I…”

Wiona’s voice broke off as a sharp slap rang through the room. Cole’s hand was still in the air, untouched, so it was Kyle who’d struck her. For a moment, everything went silent. Wiona’s face snapped to the side, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth. Madison gasped, scrambled up from the floor, threw her arms around Wiona, and shoved Kyle back hard.

“Are you out of your mind? All of you are crazy!”

Kyle just stared at his own hand, stunned. He’d never touched Wiona before, not once in their whole lives. Now, in under twenty-four hours, he’d hit both his sisters. He looked completely shaken, and a shadow of regret flickered in his eyes.

“It’s her fault! She can’t talk like that. So reckless, so ungrateful! We raised her, and all we get is a traitor in return! After the way she spoke to Dad, she deserves whatever she gets!”

The Morgan family’s rules were ironclad. They could spoil you, put you first, protect you without limits. But you could never, ever question or challenge that authority. That was the rule Wiona learned growing up. So when she exploded just now, it was as if she’d flipped the whole table over. Kyle and Cole would never let that slide. Even Jasmine couldn’t wrap her head around how much Wiona had changed since coming back. So, even as Wiona took that slap, Jasmine just covered her mouth in shock, too afraid to say anything about how wrong all of this was.

Only Madison spoke up, her voice shaking. “What exactly did she say that wasn’t true? Back then, both Wiona and I were victims! Why do we have to pay the price for everything? Why do you keep saying you love us, but keep pushing us into one mess after another? Is it because we’re useful to the Morgan family, or are we just disposable to you? And… what about that nurse? Who was she, what happened to her, and why do you all act like she never existed?”

As soon as Madison finished, even Jasmine started to panic.
