Divorced and Pregnant My New Life with a Billionaire Drives My Ex Crazy novel Chapter 378

She spent most of her years living overseas, barely speaking to her husband anymore. All of her love was poured into her younger son, while her anger and resentment shifted to her elder.

She lashed out at Jonathan and at Seth. “You two are heartless. Look at how cold you are to your own family. One day, the people you love most will suffer just like you made us suffer.”

After those vicious words, Becca cut off all contact with her husband and Jonathan. Jonathan missed his mother terribly and sometimes dragged his father with him to Europe just to see her. Devin looked better, always polite and obedient, but Becca still wouldn’t say a word to either of them.

A few years passed. Conrad was seven, Alice was three, and the two of them were kidnapped by a gang. They survived, but Seth, who had always been superstitious about Becca’s curse and doted on Conrad, couldn’t take the shock. He had a stroke on the spot. Years of stress took their toll, and after that, he just couldn’t hold on. He passed away, drained and broken.

Becca returned only for the funeral. She didn’t stay long, just long enough to pay her respects, then she went straight back overseas to be with her favorite son. She didn’t say a single extra word to Jonathan.

Ten years later, Jonathan died in a car crash. When Becca heard, she passed away not long after. Her will made it clear: she wanted her ashes buried in Europe. No wish to come back, not even in death.

From then on, the Sullivan family completely fell apart. Conrad, at seventeen, had to fight tooth and nail to keep what was left together, dealing with greedy old rivals circling like sharks. Alice’s health just kept getting worse. Annette couldn’t handle the stress and moved out of the estate. She believed in the curse, convinced they were all doomed to lose everyone they loved. She slipped into depression and eventually got sick herself.

But just when the Sullivans were starting to heal, just when it seemed like they might finally find the peace they’d always wanted, the one person who had brought all this disaster on them came back.

Conrad told Wiona everything, laying bare every bloody, painful memory. He kept his face calm, as if he was talking about someone else’s tragedy, but Wiona knew it must have taken all the courage he had to say it out loud.

She reached over and hugged him tight.

“There’s no such thing as a curse,” she whispered. “It was all just bad luck and accident, nothing more. And Devin was the one who did those awful things, not you. If there’s any justice, it’s him who’ll pay, not you, not your family. Listen to me, Conrad.”
