The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 1075

These books were not easy to find on the market. They were regularly updated internal publications, ranging from specialized academic texts to rare editions of classic literature she enjoyed. Since she had nothing to do at home, she spent most of her time reading. She had already finished all the books she previously kept at the house.

The driver placed the heavy box on the coffee table. Jeremy walked over, pulled one out, and handed it to her. "This one includes sections I compiled myself. It hasn't been published yet, but you can read it first. If you spot any issues, feel free to point them out to me."

Felicia took it, flipped through a few pages, and smiled. "Alright, I'll take a look."

"These should be enough to keep you occupied for a while, but make sure to rest your eyes. We don't want your prescription getting any worse," he teased gently.

Felicia smiled warmly. "I know, I'll be careful. Thank..."

Before she could finish the word, Jeremy cut her off. "Didn't I tell you not to be so distant with me? Whenever you need something, I am more than happy to help."

Felicia looked at him, pressed her lips together, and nodded without arguing further. "Please, have a seat."

Jeremy sat down on the sofa. Felicia asked the maid to bring out some tea and cookies. She then began taking the books out of the box one by one. There were ten in total, easily enough to keep her busy for at least a month. If she genuinely had to sit around doing absolutely nothing, she would only end up feeling more exhausted.

"I still think you need to have a serious talk with my mother. I really feel perfectly fine right now," Felicia sighed. She truly did not dare disobey Ava's strict orders to rest.

Jeremy laughed. "Having someone manage things at home is quite important. I certainly wouldn't dare casually tell Aunt Ava that you should go back to work, or else she'd likely give me a scolding too."

Felicia chuckled. "It's not that serious."

Felicia nodded thoughtfully. In truth, these traditional, century-old families harbored immense resistance toward emerging new industries. Bound by convention and unwilling to adapt, they often struggled to keep pace with the modern era, forcing them into a state of reclusion. Yet, because they still controlled astronomical amounts of generational wealth and resources, they continued to exert a hidden influence on society.

This was exactly why Jeremy rarely interacted with the old-money elites, aside from his deep connections with Nate's circle.

"But why did Jeffrey suddenly reach out to you?" she wondered.

"Perhaps he is looking for a way to break their mold. As for whether we actually collaborate, we will just have to see how things play out," Jeremy replied.

Felicia murmured in understanding. Jeremy did not stay much longer. As he was preparing to leave, Felicia suddenly spoke up. "So, about Dannie..."
