The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 454

Andrea kept her cool, but deep down she was loving all the attention. The whole vibe shifted when a man walked in, book in hand, and headed straight for the front of the classroom.

As soon as the dean and the new lecturer showed up, everyone scrambled back to their seats. Andrea glanced at the man standing by the podium and couldn’t help but stare. There was no hiding how attractive he was, and something about him felt strangely familiar.

All around the room, people were just as taken aback. Everyone was a little stunned by his looks and that effortless confidence. He was tall, dressed in a perfectly tailored black suit that made him look even more refined. His features were so sharp and flawless he seemed like he’d stepped out of a comic, and the black-rimmed glasses, along with the book in his hand, gave him this approachable, intellectual vibe.

The dean cleared his throat and addressed the class. “Since Mr. Milman’s been caught up with work lately, he won’t be able to teach this session. From now on, Mr. Trey McCoy will take over. Mr. McCoy is the founder of the International Fund of…”

You could practically feel the shock ripple through the room. No one had expected Trey to be so young and already have such an impressive background. He could easily hold his own against Jeremy, who was already considered a genius.

Andrea kept watching Trey on the stage. The second she heard his name, her mind flashed to Holden. The resemblance grew stronger the longer she looked at him. Then she noticed the ring on his left hand. He was already married, apparently.

Right then, Trey glanced her way. Their eyes met. He nodded at her, offering a small, warm smile.

Andrea’s heart skipped a beat.

The hour-long class flew by. Any doubts the group of accomplished professionals might have had at first completely disappeared. Trey was the real deal.

There was still another class after that, taught by someone else. Once everything wrapped up, Andrea packed her things and headed out. When she reached the parking garage, she spotted Trey leaning against the hood of his car, deep in conversation on his phone. The cold wind played with his coat and ruffled his short, black hair. He’d taken off his glasses, and without them, the gentle, scholarly look was gone. Instead, there was something more dangerous and magnetic about him.

He caught sight of her, finished his call with a few quick words, and slipped his phone away. He straightened up and walked over in her direction.

“Keep your eyes open. Find out who’s asking questions.” Ever since he learned about Darin’s connection to the Ross family, he’d been on high alert for anyone sniffing around.

“Yes, sir.”

After hanging up, Max sat for a moment, lost in thought.

Then his phone buzzed again, and as soon as he checked the caller, his whole expression softened. “Anne?”

“Daddy, I’m sleeping at Mommy’s tonight. Did you get the present you promised for her? I want to come by and pick it up so I can give it to her for you.”
