Divorced and Pregnant My New Life with a Billionaire Drives My Ex Crazy novel Chapter 39

“It’s hard to say,” Jean admitted. “She took everything that happened yesterday without a single word of protest. That’s really not like her.”

Grandma Grace waved her hand. “Go tell Salisbury Bank to be careful. She can’t find anything out.”

Wiona’s electric car had already been brought back to the house. Molly had just gotten her driver’s license and eagerly volunteered to drive. On the way to the cafe, Molly leaned over and lowered her voice.

“Ma’am, last night Alona and Jace spent two hours whispering together in the study. That’s not normal. Usually, Alona isn’t allowed to be in there for that long. They locked all the doors and windows, too. Nobody could get inside, so I couldn’t hear what was said.”

Wiona stopped and thought for a second. “Wait. You mean Alona’s not allowed in the study?”

Molly nodded. “That’s right. In the Salisbury family, only Daniel and Jace can use the study. Even Grandma Grace almost never goes in.”

After getting married, Wiona barely spent any nights at the old house, so she’d never known about this rule.

“So Daniel must have allowed it last night,” she said quietly. Whatever they were discussing had to be important if he made an exception for Alona. But why would Daniel just approve it, then not join them himself?

Thinking about the way Alona and Jace had both been acting so out of character lately, Wiona felt sure they were hiding something, maybe even plotting together. What could be so serious to make them both change overnight? Suddenly, the answer flashed in her mind.

Grandma. It had to be about Grandma Grace.
