The Billionaire Ex-Wife and the Beggar He Became novel Chapter 290

He looked at Winona with genuine admiration. In that moment, he was more certain than ever that the retirement community project The Nicholson Group was developing had to be her design.

Winona glanced at her daughter, then turned to Zachary. "Mr. Shaw, you should get going. I need to have a word with my daughter."
