The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 302

The call connected almost instantly.

“Max!” Darin’s voice sounded on the line.

Max replied, “You wanted to know how your dad and your sister are doing.”

There was a short pause. Then Darin said, “Yeah. Tell me.”

Max took his time. “Your dad has started a new family. He has a child now. They’re all doing well.”

The silence stretched out. It was a while before Darin finally spoke. “Alright, I get it. As long as they’re happy, that’s what matters. I need to head back to Northwick for a bit.”

“Okay.”

“Oh, and I heard you’re looking to acquire Greenway Electrical Services,” Max added suddenly.

Darin confirmed, “I really believe in their research team. Sunlight Tech already has the market, but our R&D is lacking. Greenway has the tech, so if we merge, it’ll cover Sunlight’s weak spots. There’s some drama going on inside Greenway right now, so it’s a good chance for us.”

Greenway Electrical Services was the company Greg had started with a friend. Back when they first launched, everyone was laser-focused on getting the business off the ground. Now that they’d made it big, their visions for the future weren’t lining up anymore.

Max made a sound of agreement.

Neither of them felt like chatting more, so they ended the call. Max put down his phone and turned to the driver. “Let’s go.”

That afternoon, Felicia was in her office, deep in conversation with Jeremy about work, when his phone rang. She could tell from what he was saying that he’d be heading to Northwick next week to sign a joint investment deal with Jim Curtis, and it would be public.

Ten minutes later, Jeremy hung up.

Felicia glanced at him. “The Curtis family is making moves. They really can’t wait, huh?”

Darin was slowly chipping away at IronGate Industries’ core businesses.

Jeremy said, “Darin’s not holding back against the Curtises. This joint investment is Jim’s biggest card to play.”

Half an hour later, she arrived at the preschool. As she reached the staff’s office, she could already hear a child sobbing and a parent angrily questioning the teacher.

Felicia rushed inside and saw Anne, cheeks puffed out and fists balled up, glaring at a perfectly dressed woman.

“Anne!”

The moment Anne saw Felicia, she ran straight to her. All the tough front she’d put up collapsed and tears started streaming down her face.

Felicia swept her up and hugged her tight. Anne buried her face in Felicia’s shoulder, crying even harder.

Felicia gently rubbed her back, her heart aching. “It’s alright, Anne. I’m here.”

For a while, the office was filled with the sounds of children crying.

Felicia sat down and soothed Anne until she finally calmed down. Thankfully, Anne wasn’t hurt. The staff explained that Anne had hit another child.
