The Billionaire Ex-Wife and the Beggar He Became novel Chapter 275

Despite the guilt he felt, he was still Julian Nicholson. When it came to his company and his business, there was no room for compromise.

"I'm saying that I was wrong during our marriage. I neglected you. That's our private life, and I can make it up to you, whatever it takes. But it cannot involve the company's affairs."
