The Billionaire Ex-Wife and the Beggar He Became novel Chapter 378

"You are very fortunate, Miss Shepherd," Winona said politely.

"Of course I am. My fiancé and my mother-in-law both adore me," Felicity replied, her smile radiating happiness.

"Felly, you've earned it all yourself," Janetta boomed, her voice loud enough for the entire room to hear. "Not only are you carrying twins for the Nicholson family, but the doctor told me a few days ago that the babies are a perfect pair—a boy and a girl! We already have one lovely girl in the family, so with a son and daughter on the way, you just need to have one more son next time, and the Nicholson family will have two perfect pairs! A sign of double fortune!"

Janetta's voice grew even louder, ensuring Winona's party wouldn't miss a word. "A wise master from the temple once told us that the Nicholson family must marry a daughter of the Shepherd family. He gave us four prophecies: a life of many children and grandchildren, a life of happiness and fulfillment, a life of great wealth and prosperity, and a life of family harmony!"

Hearing this, Winona felt a strange mix of envy and bitterness. She forced a strained smile.

A voice from Janetta's table, one Winona didn't recognize, chimed in. "Janetta, your daughter-in-law is truly one in a million. Not only is she a brilliant engineer and designer, on par with any man, but she's even having twins. Once she has another boy, all four prophecies will come true!"

"Yes, our Felly is a blessing to the Nicholson family!" Janetta declared, her voice ringing with pride. "In Greenwood City, no one messes with my daughter-in-law. The Nicholson family treasures her! Some people might wish for her family to be homeless, but they'd have to get through us first! So what if they owe three billion? It's temporary! Once the new year starts and the retirement communities go on sale globally, the Shepherd family's assets will multiply. What's a few billion then?"

"Some people are just delusional!"

"My dear in-laws, you must show those low-class people just how well you are living now!"

Janetta's voice grew louder and louder, each word a deliberate jab. Winona, Mia, and Helga heard everything clearly.
