The Billionaire Ex-Wife and the Beggar He Became novel Chapter 254

254 /316

Frank was in his sixties, a foreign national, and a key partner for The Nicholson Group. If he were to be imprisoned, it would have a major impact on their project. Caught between Winona and Frank, Julian honestly didn't know what to do. He had wanted to ask Frank for his perspective first, but then he ran into Winona right outside the room.

He never expected that she would come to the hospital to check on Frank before going to the police. And she had guessed, with chilling accuracy, that he didn't want her to press charges.

She was truly intelligent. Far more so than Felicity.

"I won't interfere with your decision," Julian said, his voice strained. "Whether you press charges against Frank is entirely up to you. Is that acceptable?"

"Of course it's my decision," Winona said coldly. "Now, would you mind letting go of my arm?"

Julian realized he had been gripping her arm the entire time. He released her instantly and gestured for her to proceed.

The entire exchange had been witnessed by Frank, who was watching from the window of his room.

Felicity had been right. Winona was a master of playing hard to get. She never made the first move with Julian, yet Julian was completely fixated on her. The woman certainly knew what she was doing. No wonder Felicity had been so devastated.

Frank sat on his bed, his heart heavy.
