The Billionaire Ex-Wife and the Beggar He Became novel Chapter 477

Felicity was so frightened she nearly lost control of her bladder again. She stumbled back several steps, stammering, "Did… did anyone… die?"

"So far, a dozen are seriously injured, but no one has died. Felicity, you may have gotten away with defrauding Mr. Frank, but for this construction disaster, you can expect to rot in prison for the rest of your life!" Julian pulled open his car door and got in, with no intention of letting her follow.

Felicity clung to the door. "Julian, you… you have to save me! I'm carrying your children. You can't just abandon me, can you? Tell me the truth, what's really going on?"

"I'll tell you! I'll tell you the truth!"

Only then did Julian allow her into the car, driving her back to the villa where they lived. Felicity showed him the retirement community project design and purchase contract she had planned to have Frank sign.

"When Mr. Frank first got off the plane, he kept praising me as a genius in architectural design, complimenting my retirement project. I was a bit confused at the time and wanted to ask him about it, but I didn't dare. I went home and started searching for project plans from Mr. Frank's home country, Italy. It took a long time, but I found what seemed to be the best option and signed a contract with them. But early this year, I noticed problems at the construction site and went to Italy. It turns out…"

"It turns out the Italian design firm that sold you the plans had vanished, and you couldn't find a solution in Italy, right?" Julian asked.

Felicity nodded. "I never thought they would…"

"When you went to Italy and found no one, you realized their design wasn't original and wasn't legal, didn't you?"

Felicity was silent.

"If anything happens to those children, even if you're in prison, I can still make your life a living hell. Besides, you've always used your pregnancy to blackmail me and my entire family. A smart woman like you should know better. You'd better protect that belly of yours! Don't let anything happen."
