The Billionaire Ex-Wife and the Beggar He Became novel Chapter 90

People all around them were whispering and speculating, but Yves Prescott didn't hear a word. His eyes, cold as twin blades, seemed as if they could cut right through Julian, leaving nothing but ice in their wake.

From the furious glare Julian shot his way, Yves finally understood—Winona hadn't lied to him.

Just moments ago, Winona had leaned in close and whispered in his ear, "I'm Julian's wife. His legal wife." Of course, he hadn't believed her. But then, almost instinctively, he'd wrapped his arm around her, just to test Julian's reaction.

Now, in this moment, everything was clear. Winona really was Julian's wife—his lawful wife.

Yves looked down at Winona, still nestled calmly against his side. Her expression was remarkably steady, almost serene.

A strange ache twisted in Yves's chest.

He thought back to every time he'd seen her. Except for that car accident, every single meeting had happened wherever Julian was present.

He hadn't understood before. Now he did.

He used to think Winona was just chasing after Julian, desperate to compete with Felicity for his attention. Looking back, he realized how wrong he'd been.

Reality was the exact opposite.

Winona and Julian were married. Legally.

And Felicity…?

Felicity, with her confidence, her charm, her dazzling beauty—she had seemed nearly perfect. But was it all just an act?

A wave of sudden disgust washed over Yves, making his stomach churn.

And then there was Winona.

She'd faced ridicule and humiliation at every turn, yet she still held her ground, still managed to keep her composure.

Especially today, in the middle of this mess, she'd kept pressing that former architect-turned-investor for answers, showing a stubborn, unbreakable will to survive. Yves couldn't help but admire her resilience.
