Divorced and Pregnant My New Life with a Billionaire Drives My Ex Crazy novel Chapter 398

Now that Conrad stood under the snowy night sky, his striking features finally visible, realization dawned on everyone. Was that really Conrad Sullivan? The mysterious, powerful businessman everyone in Stonehill whispered about? The Simpson family had never met him face-to-face until now. No wonder no one recognized him at first. Still, why would he suddenly show up here?

Despite feeling embarrassed by Conrad’s earlier jab, Giana forced a smile and stepped forward. “Mr. Sullivan, what an unexpected surprise. Are you here to pick up your mother? It’s getting late—we were about to have a car take her home. You really didn’t have to trouble yourself. Please, don’t stand on ceremony.”

Conrad didn’t bother pretending. “Just a coincidence I’m here. Give my regards to Kaden. And by the way, since Ms. Morgan is apprenticing here, she’s now the Sullivan family’s business. If you have any issues with her, you can tell us. There’s no reason to make things hard for her. Isn’t that right?”

Madison Morgan is the Sullivan family’s concern now? Giana’s smile stiffened. Conrad was standing up for the Morgan heiress, and Giana didn’t dare argue. She glanced at the beautiful pregnant woman standing beside Conrad. So many questions swirled in her mind, but she knew she couldn’t say no to the Sullivans.

Trying to keep her dignity, Giana turned to her apprentices and snapped, “This is what happens when you don’t listen. Madison did tell me she was taking the day off, and I told you both about it. You just forgot, and that led to all this mess. Go apologize to Madison right now.”

The Simpsons might not care much about the Morgan family, but the Sullivans were on a whole different level. It wasn’t just about status or power. The Simpsons wanted to break into business, and they needed the Redstone Peak project. Giana wouldn’t risk offending Conrad for anything. With his support, Madison’s life here would be a lot easier.

After they left the Simpson house, Annette got into a car with Wiona and Conrad. But as soon as the car door shut, tension filled the air.

“You’re using the Redstone Peak project to negotiate with the Simpsons? What do you want from them?” Conrad’s tone was sharp. “Mom, have you forgotten that you left the Sullivan Group more than ten years ago? You don’t get to decide my business moves anymore.”

Annette’s cheeks flushed with anger. “Don’t worry, I won’t ruin your precious plans. Back then, you were afraid the Clements family would use my position to meddle in the Sullivan Group, so I stepped down, just like you wanted. The Clements family isn’t looking to benefit from you now. I only came to the Simpsons today because your uncle and aunt are sick, and I had no choice. The Simpsons see some benefit in helping me, so they’re being polite. If you really think it’s wrong for me to even use the Sullivan name, then from now on, I’ll just tell everyone we’re not related anymore. Would that make you happy? Stop the car!”

Annette banged on the door, furious. Lewis had no choice but to pull over. Wiona reached for Conrad’s arm, quietly urging him not to make things worse.

Conrad’s voice dropped. “Mom, that’s not what I meant.” He let out a long sigh, sounding tired and defeated. “I can’t control what you do for the Clements family. I just worry you’re exhausting yourself, and I want you to take care of your health. That’s all.”
