Divorced and Pregnant My New Life with a Billionaire Drives My Ex Crazy novel Chapter 636

Ten whole minutes went by before Kyle finally broke the silence. “Looks like we really don’t know Wiona at all,” he said quietly.

Jasmine couldn’t hold back her tears. “She’s always loved painting. I knew she was talented ever since she was little.” Her voice trembled with emotion. “But we tried to control her. We didn’t want her wasting time on something so ‘useless,’ so we made her quit art. And even then, she still found her own way.” Jasmine’s face glowed with a rare mix of pride and relief. For a moment, it was like she realized Wiona had managed to become herself, even in the Morgan family’s strict, suffocating world.

Cole, meanwhile, was furious. He just couldn’t accept that his stepdaughter had fooled him for so many years. His anger boiled over, and he started arguing with Jasmine. “You’re the one who spoiled her! It’s all your fault!”

Jasmine’s tears flowed harder. “What did she ever do wrong? She just wanted to paint. If you and Kyle hadn’t stopped her back then, would she really have needed to sneak around? Do you know how much she’s suffered, all these years, keeping everything to herself? And now people are attacking her online, and no one is standing up for her! Cole, I’ve had enough! If you hadn’t been so controlling, if you hadn’t tried to turn Wiona into some perfect little doll who only did what you wanted, she wouldn’t have rebelled and done something this big behind our backs. You always blame me, but have you ever stopped to think that it’s your fault she doesn’t even want to come home?”

Was it just about being controlling? Madison and Kyle listened quietly on the side, but they both knew the real reason. Wiona had found out who Cole really was. She’d learned that the truth behind her switched identity came from his affair, and when everything came to light, Cole had thrown all the blame on her just to save himself. His shamelessness, his abandonment, and the Morgan family’s never-ending need to control her… those were the things that broke Wiona’s heart for good.

Madison let out a long sigh. “Wiona, just ignore Dad. Mom and I really want to help you. Mom said she could sue Bronwen and the others for kidnapping you back then. There’s no way they’d avoid an investigation.”

Wiona felt a little spark in her chest. Was that really Jasmine talking? Maybe she really had changed.

Still, Wiona didn’t need the Morgan family to get involved right now. “If I need help, I’ll let you know.” She kept things open, just in case.

They chatted a little longer, and then Madison brought something up. “In a couple of days, I’m bringing someone to your art show. I know it’s been a while, but this person is really important. You have to meet him.”

Wiona had heard Madison mention this a few times now, so she figured it must be serious. “Alright, I’ll wait for you.”

With that, she wrapped up her calls and let the outside world fade away. All she could do was wait and see how things would play out.

Later that night, Wiona climbed into bed and grabbed her phone. The first thing she saw was Louisa’s video sitting at the very top of the trending page.
