Divorced and Pregnant My New Life with a Billionaire Drives My Ex Crazy novel Chapter 479

Her family... could it really be that complicated? Maybe. But honestly, what difference would it make? Wiona had always just let fate take the wheel when it came to her past. Even when she got those phone numbers from the orphanage, she never found the courage to call. She didn't even know why she was so reluctant, why this was the one thing she couldn't face. Now, staring at the pendant in the photo, something inside her shifted. She finally got it. She never wanted to search for her roots, because she already knew her real mom was gone. So what would be the point? Who else did she have in this world?

Madison picked up on Wiona’s mood right away and looped her arm through hers. “Come on, let’s get some food. My mentor heard I was meeting you today and gave me a fat allowance, told me to treat you. She wanted to thank you for not making a fuss with the Simpson family last time. Let’s go to a fancy place—I’m buying!”

Madison hustled Wiona into the car, totally forgetting about Kyle, who was left standing all alone in the parking lot.

Once they were on the road, Madison hesitated. “Wiona, do you think we need to tell the police about this?”

Wiona nodded. “Yeah, we do. The Cruz couple has been searching for their daughter for twenty years, and Jewel’s suffered just as long. What she did to us was awful, but... this is her karma. Twenty years lost, her mind in pieces, cut off from her parents... That’s worse than jail.”

Madison frowned, obviously torn. “But if we go to the police, won’t they trace it back to Dad? Mom will find out what really happened. Dad always acts like the perfect family man, doting on Mom and keeping the Salisbury name spotless. But if this comes out, the Morgan family will bee done for.”

Wiona shot Madison a look, surprised she could still feel sorry for Cole. “But Madison, he committed a crime. If he hadn’t gotten involved with Jewel in the first place, driving her to obsession, she never would’ve switched us at birth. He started all of this. And think about how he covered everything up, wiping out Jewel’s existence like she was nothing. Isn’t that terrifying to you? And what about all these years—did he know Jewel swapped his daughter? If he did, why didn’t he bring you home sooner? And if he didn’t know, even after the truth came out, he still tried to bury it. That’s even worse, don’t you think?”

Madison opened her mouth, then closed it again. In the end, she just sighed. “You’re right. I’m being too sentimental. I keep thinking they’re my real parents, but I forgot—they were ready to marry me off to the Holmes family like I was just some asset. You’re right, Wiona. Being rational is the only way.”

Wiona didn’t say anything else. She just pulled out her phone and called Owen, telling him everything.
