The Billionaire Ex-Wife and the Beggar He Became novel Chapter 160

She told herself, no matter what, she had to keep her pride when dealing with Julian.

After sending that message, she grabbed her keys and headed out to meet up with Xander, Hattie, and Mackenzie.

Meanwhile, Julian glanced at the text from Felicity. He hadn't really thought about how cold he'd been to her lately. What flashed through his mind instead was his attitude toward Winona. For six years, he'd barely acknowledged her existence—did that count as emotional neglect?

Julian, you never cared about Winona. So why does it drive you mad to see her with another man?

He didn't bother replying to Felicity. Instead, he pulled out his phone and called his close friends, Claud and Mayo, suggesting they meet for a drink.

Inside a bar on Laurel Hill Road, Julian downed one drink after another, brooding in silence. He kept drinking until he could barely sit upright, and only then did Claud and Mayo finally hear him slur, "Yves Prescott—I'm going to kill you."

With that, it all made sense to Claud and Mayo.

"Can you believe Winona?" Claud grumbled, irritated. "Julian hardly even likes her, but instead of just staying at home and keeping to herself, she goes off and throws herself at Yves Prescott. It's like she's asking for trouble!"

"And the worst part is, Yves Prescott doesn't even care about her," Mayo chimed in. "I bet Winona told him she's Julian's wife, and that's the only reason he's stringing her along—to get at Julian. He's only messing with her as a way to humiliate Julian!"

"Damn it! Who could put up with that?"

"Someone ought to make Yves Prescott pay for this!"
