Divorced and Pregnant My New Life with a Billionaire Drives My Ex Crazy novel Chapter 734

“The baby must’ve been born by now, right?”

“Well, it’s definitely not the Salisbury family’s child. They said the divorce happened ages ago. Honestly, it seems like that marriage barely lasted a year.”

The whispers around the room grew louder and more tangled, drifting away from the original topic and diving headfirst into gossip about the Salisbury family and Wiona.

The guests practically buzzed with excitement, trading whatever juicy details they’d picked up from Stonehill. No one seemed to notice that Wiona herself was standing right there, as if she’d turned invisible.

Just then, someone let out a low gasp. “Mr. Sullivan’s here!”

Conrad finally made his entrance.

He’d been handling some business, which was why he showed up so late at the banquet hall’s doors. Peter followed behind him, but when all eyes landed on them, Conrad just glanced back. Peter caught the signal and quietly slipped back outside, leaving Conrad to enter alone.

The second Conrad stepped in, every eye in the room snapped to him.

He wore a black suit with subtle patterns, looking tall and impossibly put-together. The knot buttons at his collar were intricate, and there was a delicate embroidery at his cuffs—understated, but so luxurious.

His handsome face, set off by the stunning formalwear, made his natural elegance and quiet authority impossible to ignore. The entire hall seemed to hush the moment he arrived.

The shifting light and shadow played across his face, highlighting sharp cheekbones and a cool, unreadable expression. He carried an air of calm that seemed to make the whole room go cold.

Every whisper faded. Some guests froze mid-sip, eyes glued to him, a mix of awe and intrigue written all over their faces.

Conrad didn’t seem to care about any of it.

Even when people greeted him, he just gave the briefest nod in response.

His gaze moved straight through the crowd, landing on Wiona with perfect accuracy.

“She’s the pride of our family, someone we’ll always cherish.”

“And so, I want to make it clear in front of everyone: now that Wiona’s back, she’s the jewel of our family. No one is to disrespect her, and no one will speak badly about her behind her back. The past, when she wasn’t with us, is over. No one is to bring it up again.”

“From now on, the Blue family’s doors will always be open to her.”

“She’ll always have a place with us.”

“She’ll have her share of the family estate.”

“And the Blue family will always be her strongest support.”

“Finally, thank you all for your blessings and for being here tonight. The banquet is officially open. Please, eat, drink, and enjoy yourselves—it’s our family’s wish that you have a wonderful time.”
