The Billionaire Ex-Wife and the Beggar He Became novel Chapter 204

204 /300

The officer was unimpressed by who she was. "Miss Shepherd," he said sternly, "making threatening phone calls is a serious offense. If this occurs again, you will be dealing with the legal system. I suggest there not be a next time."

With that warning delivered, the officer left.

Felicity's glare at Winona could have set the room on fire. That phone—Julian had it custom-made for her, a one-of-a-kind piece in the world, a symbol of their love. Just the gemstones embedded around the case alone were worth a small fortune.

And Winona had smashed it.

Winona! The nerve—to lay a hand on her phone!

Felicity felt like a volcano about to erupt, but her rational mind screamed at her to keep it together. She was so furious it made her feel physically ill, her whole body deflated with rage.

Winona, on the other hand, seemed completely unfazed. She didn't spare Felicity a single glance, just turned to Zachary and said, "Mr. Shaw, I think we've seen enough here. Let's head back—I still need to visit Yves Prescott at the hospital this afternoon."

She had no interest in dealing with Felicity's sycophants. The sooner she left, the better.

Zachary was more than happy to oblige—he didn't want Winona to put up with any more of this nonsense. "Alright, let's go."

Without so much as a goodbye to the others, Winona and Zachary left the construction site.

No sooner had they gone than Frank arrived.

Frank had just returned from overseas—he'd only landed yesterday. He'd planned to stop by the site early this morning, but Felicity, worried about his long flight, insisted he rest at the hotel first.

But Frank was never one to sit still for long. After only a few hours' rest, he came straight to the site.

The moment he saw Felicity, he presented her with a precious gift.

"Shepherd, this belonged to your aunt. I had this gemstone mined at the foot of the Alps, named after her. Before she passed, she asked me to give it to you. With the holidays coming up, I thought I'd bring it as a New Year's gift."

Every time Frank visited, he brought Felicity some new surprise.
