The Billionaire Ex-Wife and the Beggar He Became novel Chapter 77

Winona turned her head and saw Julian and Felicity approaching.

Julian wore a black double-breasted trench coat over a crisp white shirt, paired with light gray slacks.

His tall stature, striking looks, and flawless posture made him the epitome of male perfection—a man you'd be lucky to meet once in your life.

What's more, today his outfit was perfectly coordinated with Felicity's.

Felicity wore a pale gray cashmere turtleneck, cinched at the waist with a delicate black leather belt, and tailored black trousers. Their understated ensembles radiated effortless elegance—an air of quiet luxury that made them seem almost untouchable.

Together, they looked every bit the power couple: poised, refined, and perfectly in sync.

Felicity's arm rested lightly in the crook of Julian's, not in a clingy way, but with the easy confidence of true partners—two people so attuned to each other's thoughts that words weren't always necessary.

Both of them turned their gaze on Winona, eyes sharp and cold. The look they gave her was the kind reserved for someone caught sneaking into another woman's bedroom in the dead of night—a homewrecker, shameless and exposed.

Winona's eyes shifted to Teague and Henrietta.

They, too, were impeccably dressed, carrying themselves with a grace and dignity that made it hard to believe they were both in their fifties. Neither showed a trace of the sagging posture or thickening waistlines that often came with age.

The four of them together looked every inch the picture-perfect family—harmonious, beautiful, and intimidatingly flawless.

And as for herself? In their eyes, Winona was probably more than just the unwelcome intruder—the pariah everyone wanted to chase out of town. She was the fraud who had stolen their real daughter's life for sixteen years. No wonder they looked at her as if she were a rat scurrying across the street.

Winona gave a bitter little laugh.

She shot back at Julian, her voice sharp, "You want to know why I'm here? Tiana's had a fever for days now—what have you been doing, Julian? She's just a little girl and she's come down with acute gastroenteritis! What exactly have you been feeding her?"

Julian seemed almost taken aback by her accusation.

Since Winona had left the Nicholson family more than a month ago, she'd tried time and again to get back in contact with him. But now, her words and her attitude were so much stronger than before.

Back when she'd lived with the Nicholsons, Winona had never dared to challenge him—not like this.

But now, not only was she questioning him, she was outright accusing him of neglect.

Julian found himself unable to read this new version of Winona.
