The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 421

“That’s good.” Jeremy’s gaze lingered on the bracelet around her wrist. “That’s a really pretty bracelet, you know.”

Felicia finally seemed to notice it. She slipped it off and twirled it in her fingers. “Maybe I should sell it. Bet it’d go for a decent price.”

Jeremy gave her a look. “With that kind of quality? Easily ten million.”

Felicia’s eyes widened for a second. She had to admit, Max was generous. Still, compared to that black card he handed over to Andrea, this was just a small gesture. She couldn’t help but chuckle at the thought. The bracelet was gorgeous, sure, but it also made her uncomfortable. She made a mental note to send it back to him when she got the chance.

About an hour later, Felicia was back at the office.

Tommy took her car to drop Jeremy off at his place. On the drive, Jeremy called Heather.

“Felicia said you’ve got an upset stomach?”

Heather was sprawled out on the couch, munching on fruit, sounding way too relaxed. “Upset stomach? I just made that up. Wanted to surprise you, Jere.”

Jeremy had already guessed as much.

“So, you and Felicia are not together for now?”

“Yeah, she went back to work. I’m almost home,” he replied.

Heather just made a little sound in response.

Back at her office, Felicia’s phone rang. It was Anne.

“Evelynn, didn’t you go to the airport to pick up Dad today?”

Felicia paused, a frown creasing her brow. So he was the one who would go running to tell on her. She had no idea how to explain this to Anne.

“Anne, I had promised a friend already. I should have told you. I’m sorry.”

“Those two are practically joined at the hip right now. What a shame you didn’t end up marrying into that family. If you’d married Darin, you could have put in a good word here and there… oh well,” Anthony teased.

Savannah shot him a glare and stomped on his foot. “Like I ever wanted that.”

Heather pouted. “So if he refuses to get a divorce, doesn’t that mean Felicia’s basically stuck?”

Max was so cold and calculating that i t was honestly terrifying. Even Holden couldn’t outsmart him. Trey was nothing in comparison. Felicia didn’t stand a chance against someone like that.

Felicia felt her heart sink at that. She’d thought this trip to the States would help her sort out the equity stuff and put some distance between herself and Max, maybe give him time to cool off. She never expected to get tangled up with him even more.

Savannah shook her head. “Andrea is such an idiot. All this time and she still hasn’t managed to get pregnant and secure her spot.”

Heather rolled her eyes. “She’s just a pretty face. There’s nothing else to her. All she’s good for is being some guy’s plaything.”

Felicia cut in, “Alright, enough. It’s a good day. Let’s not drag down the mood by talking about those people.”
