The Billionaire Ex-Wife and the Beggar He Became novel Chapter 224

"But what about you?"

"Tell me, Felicity—these past few weeks, what exactly have you done to Winona, over and over again?"

"You always act so confident, so radiant and kind, so full of energy and positivity—like you're above it all. But tell me, just how many times have you tried to make Winona's life miserable just because she's Julian's ex-wife?"

Felicity's voice trembled as she stammered, "I… Julian, I… I'm just scared of losing you. I spent sixteen years being invisible, ignored by everyone—those years nearly broke me…"

Julian cut her off without hesitation. "No matter how hard those sixteen years were for you, not a single bit of that is Winona's fault!"

But then his tone softened. "We both need to calm down. I'm swamped the next few days—three days from now, I have that divorce hearing with Winona. I'm asking you, please, don't do anything else to hurt her. Even if we have to end things in court, I want it to be civil. No more drama."

Felicity faltered. "I…"

"Just go. I need some time alone." Julian didn't look at her anymore, just pressed his fingers to his brow, exhaustion etched across his face.

"Alright, Julian, I'll leave you be." Swallowing her humiliation and rage, Felicity slipped quietly out of his office, shutting the door softly behind her.

But the moment the latch clicked, her expression darkened, cold and hard as stone.

If Julian had kept his feelings to himself, maybe she could have pretended not to know. But now he'd said it so plainly. There was no longer any doubt—Julian had feelings for Winona. He really did.

He'd actually fallen for her!

Numb with disbelief, Felicity drove aimlessly through the city. She ended up at The Laurel Hill Lounge—the bar she, Julian, Claud, and Mayo had frequented together so many times before.

Now she sat alone, downing drink after drink.
