The Billionaire Ex-Wife and the Beggar He Became novel Chapter 137

Julian's punch sent Yves Prescott staggering backward—he nearly lost his footing and crashed to the floor.

The entire room fell silent in shock.

Everyone in Greenwood City knew about the fierce rivalry between Julian and Yves Prescott. But they also knew that, compared to Yves, Julian was the picture of refinement and integrity. He was the one who played by the rules, kept his word, and treated friend and foe with the same brand of gentlemanly respect.

When Yves Prescott crossed the line, no one batted an eye—it was just Yves being Yves. But Julian? He never lost control, especially not in public.

So what had gotten into him today?

Was a patch of land really worth losing his composure over?

This wasn't Julian's style at all. Even at the height of their toughest battles—when millions of dollars and entire reputations were on the line—Julian would simply shrug off a loss with a faint, wry smile. He'd never let business get personal.

So what was so special about this particular piece of property?

No one watching could figure it out. Except Felicity.

She could guess well enough—Yves must have used Winona to provoke Julian. The realization weighed heavily on Felicity's heart. She felt anxious, unsettled, and—more than anything—consumed by jealousy.

Their divorce was scheduled for that afternoon. What was Winona up to now?

At the same moment, both Felicity and Winona rushed toward Julian and Yves.

"Julian, calm down! What's going on?" Felicity tried to reason with him, her tone steady and rational.

But Julian didn't seem to hear a word.

He'd landed one brutal punch already—Yves hadn't even tried to fight back. Instead, Yves just laughed, a wild, taunting sound. "What's the matter, Mr. Nicholson? Losing your cool?"
