Divorced and Pregnant My New Life with a Billionaire Drives My Ex Crazy novel Chapter 97

The internet exploded. Every gossip site and news feed was on fire, caught up in a storm of rumors no one could look away from.

Was the chairman’s wife secretly meeting with a powerful executive? Did the CEO sneak off to his villa with his first love—wait, his mistress—and share a steamy, lingering kiss? And now, the CEO’s wife was dead?

It didn’t take long for insiders to spill that the Salisbury family really had been searching for someone. They had turned the entire Azure Estate upside down, scouring every inch of Stonehill. They weren’t just looking for someone alive. They even went to the morgue, trying to identify an unclaimed woman’s body.

People started to believe the worst. Was Mrs. Salisbury really gone?

It felt like a murder mystery unfolding in real life, and with all these scandals hitting at once, everyone started connecting the dots. The mother-in-law’s secret meetings, the husband’s cheating… What if the CEO’s wife found out something she wasn’t supposed to know? What if the Salisbury family silenced her for good?

Social media couldn’t keep up with the flood of new theories. Everyone fancied themselves a detective, combing through every detail of the Salisbury family’s past, digging into Wiona and Jace’s marriage. In just a few hours, the whole family was trending. The story of Wiona’s fake heiress past was everywhere, being analyzed from every angle.

People brought up the marriage that linked the Morgan and Salisbury families, the way the Morgans had turned their back on Wiona, and how the Salisbury family’s attitude had shifted once her true background came out. Then, Jace and Kellen’s affair shot to the top of the search lists.

First love. The one that got away. The old flame who could ruin everything. The so-called soulmate turned homewrecker. The CEO caught cheating on his wife.

It was endless. Old photos of Kellen smiling at dinner with Jace and his mother resurfaced. The story of Wiona smashing up a jewelry store was dragged out again. Clips from Kellen’s birthday party, where she swung a bat and nearly caused Wiona to lose her baby, and videos of Kellen fighting with Wiona at the hospital, all started circulating online.

People pieced it together. In their minds, Wiona’s disappearance was all the Salisbury family’s fault.

The family was hammered with hateful comments and accusations. Some called them murderers. Others tore into Jace for sleeping with another woman while his wife was missing.

By morning, Salisbury Corporation’s stock had crashed. The outrage was everywhere, loud and merciless.

Soon, the police got involved, making the investigation official. Still, the rumors and headlines wouldn’t stop. It felt like something—or someone—was pushing the story forward, dragging the family deeper into disaster.

***

At the Morgan family’s house, Jasmine sat in the living room, pale and shaken, her eyes glued to the news.

“How could this happen?” she whispered. “Wiona can’t really be missing, right?”
