Divorced and Pregnant My New Life with a Billionaire Drives My Ex Crazy novel Chapter 488

She had deep pockets, and if he kept pushing, he would still lose. There was no point in driving the price of that pendant any higher. Besides, even if by some miracle he won, he didn’t have the money to pay for it.

The other end of the call went quiet for a moment.

“Alright, I can’t really blame you for this. You’ve been cut off for three years since you left home. Your parents made sure you had nothing. The fact that you managed to get the bid up to nine million… that’s already impressive. Next time you’re strapped for cash, just let me knowd. I’ll help you out.”

The man hung up right away, obviously done with the conversation. The other guy knew how stubborn he was, so he switched to bombarding him with text messages.

[Everyone knows you lost. Now we just want to know—who grabbed the pendant?]

He thought it over and finally replied, [Vivian.]

His phone buzzed with a shocked emoji from his second brother.

[What? That genius designer Vivian? She bought Aunt’s keepsake for nine million? Who is she, really?]

The man muttered to himself, if he actually knew who Vivian was, would he even be talking to them about it? This was something he needed to get to the bottom of. Who was Vivian, and why did she fight so hard for their aunt’s pendant? Could she be… that child?

Wiona took Alice back to her own place. Alice had never lived anywhere so small, and she was absolutely loving it. She ran around the apartment like an excited puppy, nearly turning the place upside down. She finally calmed down once Remy and Molly finished cooking dinner.

“Wiona, I want to stay here forever,” Alice announced, eyes sparkling. “This house is adorable.”

“So you don’t want to go home?” Wiona asked, smiling.

Alice shook her head so hard her hair bounced everywhere. “No! I want to live here. You have to stay here too. Let’s both stay!”

Wiona laughed. “Pretty sure your brother wouldn’t be okay with that. Let’s eat first, and then I’ll make a phone call.”

She left Molly to keep Alice company while she stepped over to the window, glancing at the building across the way. She’d texted Madison earlier, and now Madison was calling her back.

“Wiona, I’m already home, don’t worry. My brother actually kept his word this time,” Madison said, sounding relieved and happy.

Wiona let out a breath she didn’t know she’d been holding. “That’s great. By the way, Madison, did you ever get in touch with that girl Mary from the orphanage?”
