The Billionaire Ex-Wife and the Beggar He Became novel Chapter 131

When the legal counsel heard Mr. Nicholson instruct him to contact Winona, his mind went completely blank.

Before drafting this divorce agreement, he hadn't even known there was a woman named Winona in Greenwood City—let alone that she was Mr. Nicholson's wife. How was he supposed to get in touch with her?

Still, he didn't dare argue with Mr. Nicholson.

Privately, he tracked down Mr. Nicholson's executive assistant, Gideon. "Gideon, do you have any way of contacting that woman?"

"Which woman?" Gideon paused, caught off guard by the question.

"The one… the woman Mr. Nicholson is legally married to. Do you know how to reach her?"

The woman with Mr. Nicholson's name on her marriage certificate.

Gideon's heart sank a little.

He'd always disliked Winona himself, though he couldn't quite say why. If he had to pinpoint a reason, it was simply because Mr. Nicholson disliked her—so as his assistant, Gideon followed suit.

But a little over a month ago, when Winona came to the company for the first time to see Mr. Nicholson, her calm, poised confidence had left Gideon speechless.

Since then, his opinion of her had shifted dramatically.

As long as Winona and Mr. Nicholson weren't divorced, she was still Mrs. Nicholson. In that sense, she had more legitimate standing than Felicity ever could, yet everyone around Mr. Nicholson seemed to have completely lost sight of that.

To them, Mr. Nicholson and Felicity were a perfect match, while Winona was nothing more than a wretched interloper, the villain ruining the fairy-tale romance between Mr. Nicholson and Miss Shepherd.

No one stopped to think about how unfair this all was to Winona.

No one ever stood up for her.

Even Mr. Nicholson's mother, Janetta, refused to acknowledge Winona as her daughter-in-law. Instead, she'd had the audacity to make Winona work as the family's housekeeper.

Her excuse? The Nicholson family couldn't do without her cooking—the whole family loved Winona's meals.

If they didn't like her, why couldn't they let her go?
