The Billionaire Ex-Wife and the Beggar He Became novel Chapter 473

"What did you say?" Henrietta asked in a dazed voice.

Teague Shepherd and Jason also questioned Julian anxiously. "What are you talking about, son-in-law? How could Felly be in jail? She hasn't broken any laws."

"My sister is an outstanding woman! She's your wife! Who framed her?"

Old Mrs. Shepherd, who had been beating her chest in despair, stared at Julian, speechless. Only Old Mr. Shepherd sighed and smiled wryly to himself. "Payback."

"Son-in-law, please tell me why!" Teague ignored Henrietta's injuries and pressed Julian for an answer.

"Why?" Julian sneered. "How much has your Shepherd family leached off Frank over the last six months?"

"What do you mean, leached? Mr. Frank gave us many of those things as gifts," Henrietta stammered.

"And why did he give them to you?" Julian demanded.

"He… he's my daughter's uncle."

"Does Frank know you? Does he know the Shepherd family? Where did this 'uncle' come from? Did he just appear out of thin air?" Julian unleashed a rapid-fire barrage of questions, silencing the entire Shepherd family.

At the word 'dog,' Julian grew even more furious. He now understood where the two eight-year-olds had learned their behavior. For the third time, Julian grabbed the cowering Henrietta by the hair, yanked her up, and slapped her three times across the face with all his might. Her cheek swelled up like a lopsided gourd.

"Tell me! How could you do it? If you don't talk, I'll break every bone in your body, ship you off somewhere, let you heal, and then torture you all over again!" Julian, who had never raised his voice or hand to anyone, felt the exact same way Winona did when facing Henrietta. Both of them wanted to make her suffer.
