The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 121

The summit was set to run for three days.

Felicia was busy backstage, handling last-minute details and coordinating with the key people in charge of the event.

By nine, the first attendees began checking in. Felicia stuck close to the head of the Financial Regulatory Authority, translating and smoothing over introductions as they greeted guests.

She looked sharp today in a pink blouse tucked into gray straight-leg trousers, her hair swept back in a low ponytail. Her makeup was simple and neat, highlighting her naturally striking features. The combination of her polished look and confident, professional vibe caught more than a few eyes.

Jeremy and Anthony showed up at half past nine.

Jeremy’s light gray suit fit him perfectly, showing off his tall frame. He walked with easy confidence, a warm smile lighting up his handsome face. There was something effortlessly elegant and kind about him. Anthony, on the other hand, wore a bold royal blue suit that matched his more playful, rebellious energy.

The director greeted them, chatting briefly. Felicia offered a polite smile.

“It’s gonna be a big day,” Jeremy said, his tone gentle.

Felicia smiled back. “Let me take you inside.”

Meanwhile, Max stepped out of the elevator and headed toward the hall. Even with the crowd, he spotted Felicia right away, her tall, graceful figure impossible to miss.

As he got closer, Felicia, Jeremy, and Anthony were already making their way into the hall.

The director noticed Max and hurried over to shake his hand. They exchanged a few words before a staff member led Max to his seat. He was placed in the middle of the front row, just a few seats away from Jeremy.

Felicia took her place right next to Jeremy, sitting upright and composed.

Jeremy leaned back on the sofa, one leg crossed over the other, chatting with Felicia. He listened closely, his eyes on her, his expression soft and full of genuine admiration. The three of them fell into easy conversation, the atmosphere relaxed and friendly.

“And now, please welcome Mr. Frank, President of the Financial Regulatory Authority, to give his opening remarks.”

Frank took the stage, stepping up to the podium to deliver his welcome speech.

The summit’s theme was Navigating Change and Forging Ahead. The main session would dive into big-picture trends in macroeconomics, trade, and the digital world, along with the biggest opportunities and risks in different markets, assets, and regions over the next few years.

Several industry leaders from both home and abroad were invited to the stage to share their insights. Among them were Jeremy and Max.

As the moderator, Felicia guided the discussion, keeping everything on track.

Whenever she addressed Max, she stayed calm and professional. At one point, Max and Jeremy disagreed on a topic, and the mood in the room shifted. Felicia didn’t miss a beat, quickly steering the conversation to another guest and easing the tension.
