The Billionaire Ex-Wife and the Beggar He Became novel Chapter 310

310 /316

"Your move yesterday was brilliant. Two birds with one stone. In the courtroom, you left me with nothing. Outside, in public, you utterly destroyed Felicity's reputation. A masterstroke, truly."

Winona was silent.

She wanted to slap him. She wanted to scream at him, *If I had the power to manipulate the courts and public opinion, do you think I would have spent six miserable years in your family's house? Do you think my own daughter would be a stranger to me? Do you think I would have let my grandmother cry until her eyes were raw without being able to get her justice?*

What happened yesterday, both inside and outside the courtroom, was a direct result of their own cruel and disgusting actions. Did they really not see that? Instead of blaming themselves, they blamed her for being ruthless, for hitting two birds with one stone.

But Winona held her tongue.

There was no point. They were no longer connected.

So she didn't even bother to explain.

All she said was, "Tell your girlfriend to pay me back as soon as possible. One point zero two billion. The interest is accumulating by the hundreds of thousands every day. If she's late, she's going to prison."

"You…" Julian started.

"Mr. Nicholson, you're here!" At that moment, an engineering technician spotted Julian. "We called Ms. Shepherd, but she's sick. So, how should we resolve this issue?"

Julian hadn't studied architecture. He knew nothing about construction sites.

He couldn't offer any advice.

He could only ask the technician, "How big is the problem?"

"If we continue building upwards, there will be a slight tilt. We don't know what will happen as it gets higher," the technician gave a noncommittal answer.

He had asked Felicity about this before, and she had said they weren't building a precision instrument, so it didn't have to be perfect.

"In that case, let's wait until Ms. Shepherd recovers from her fever to solve this. She designed the project; she knows the key points better than anyone. She's the expert," Julian said.

The technician said nothing.
