Divorced and Pregnant My New Life with a Billionaire Drives My Ex Crazy novel Chapter 401

Still, this involved the Sullivan family, and Giana decided to look into it herself. She quickly heard the rumors. The Sullivan family really had lost a long-serving maid, someone almost as important as Mr. Sullivan’s own nanny. The way she died was suspicious, and whispers pointed straight at the so-called fake heiress. From what Ms. Clements hinted, there was no way that woman’s hands were clean. But with Mr. Sullivan’s power, she could still stand here like nothing had happened.

Giana had always hated injustice and couldn’t stand people who put on an act of innocence. She especially despised those who tried to manipulate her with a sweet, honest face. So, when she faced Wiona, she didn’t bother to hide her hostility. In Giana’s eyes, even the way Wiona called her “mother-in-law” was just an attempt to throw the Sullivan name around and pressure her. Did Wiona really think Giana was afraid of the Sullivans, or that she’d let some scheming woman get away with it?

“Ms. Morgan, of course I wouldn’t blame you for showing up uninvited,” Giana said, her tone icy. “But we have our own rules. Today isn’t the day for extra guests. If you’re here to find someone, then please, just do that. As for how I handle my own disciples, I think I still have that right. If you insist on using the Sullivan family’s name to shield her, then I’m afraid we can’t keep Madison in the Simpson family any longer.”

Wiona could hear the hostility in every word. Her polite smile faded. She didn’t even know what she’d done to offend this woman, but she didn’t want Madison to suffer for it. Even though she was angry, Wiona swallowed it down. She wouldn’t fight back.

“Madison, I’m sorry I dragged you into this,” Wiona said quietly. “I’ll find my mother and get out of here.”

Tears stung Madison’s eyes. She knew exactly what Wiona was doing—taking the insults silently, just to protect her. This was Wiona, the woman who’d finally learned to stand up for herself. She’d only just started enjoying a little peace, and now, because of Madison, she had to put up with this.

Wiona gave Madison a reassuring nod, then turned to Giana and said, “I’m sorry. I’ll leave as soon as possible. Please, don’t take it out on Madison. If I bothered you, I truly apologize.”

Wiona didn’t wait for a reply. She just walked away. Madison wanted to follow, but Giana snapped, “Stop right there! What do you think you’re doing? Kaden keeps saying you’ve got talent, that you’re something special, but you’re just as impulsive as he is. You let a manipulative woman spin you in circles, and you actually think she’s being sincere? If you stand up for her again, I won’t be so nice to you.”
