The Billionaire Ex-Wife and the Beggar He Became novel Chapter 479

Winona looked up at Julian, her eyes tired but unwavering. "Mr. Nicholson, what are you trying to say? If you're here to condemn me, you have no grounds. If you're just looking for an answer, I don't have time right now. This site is dangerous, and saving people and property is the top priority. But one thing I can tell you for sure is that bet you made with Yves Prescott? You lost."

Julian was speechless. Winona paid him no more mind and went back to clearing the debris with Yves Prescott, Wesley Quigley, Zachary Shaw, and the others.

The construction collapse became the biggest news story in the city. All eyes were on Julian and Felicity, forcing Felicity to appear before the media, pregnant belly and all, to confess the truth.

When the public learned what happened, they were furious, wishing they could beat the pregnant woman to a pulp with their microphones. The curses started flying right then and there.

"The other woman! A complete and total homewrecker! You destroyed a family and a career!"

"So all your elegance was just an act! You're an empty-headed fraud, and an absolutely foul one at that!"

"I heard she even impersonated Mr. Nicholson's ex-wife to get close to Mr. Frank and scammed him out of over a hundred million!"

"This woman is a truly evil person. After she got married, she started abusing the first wife's child, nearly driving a five-year-old girl insane."

"And she tricked and deceived her husband, not revealing her own two children until their wedding day, putting him in an impossible position. The craftiest woman on earth!"

He still couldn't process it. The woman in the interview, so deceitful and cruel… was she really the same hopeful, diligent girl he'd known since she was sixteen? How could someone hide such darkness for so long?

Xander quietly slipped away. The Shepherd family had done terrible things, especially Henrietta, who had even abused five-year-old Tiana. This filled Xander with rage, but the McCarthy and Shepherd families had known each other for many years.
