The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 461

Rose entered the dining room with a small crowd of glamorous ladiestrailing behind her. Right away, she spotted Luke and Felicia sitting together at a table off to the side. The two of them looked up, their attention drawn by the group filing in.

Felicia’s eyes narrowed when she noticed Andrea following close to Mrs. Curtis. Andrea hadn’t been there when Felicia first arrived, so it was obvious she had come with Max. Felicia couldn’t help but wonder if Andrea had been invited because of Mrs. Curtis or Max.

Andrea glanced at Felicia for just a moment, then walked straight toward Max without a word.

Rose headed over to Luke’s table. Both Luke and Felicia stood up as she approached.

“Mrs. Hawthorne,” Felicia greeted her politely.

“Mom,” Luke said.

Rose looked at them, her expression gentle. “Are you both alright?”

She clearly knew about what happened online, but there was no blame or disappointment in her voice.

“We’re fine,” Luke replied.

Rose nodded. “Let’s eat first. We can talk later.”

Luke just gave her a small nod in return.

Guests started to settle into their seats. The main table had ten seats, mostly for the Hawthorne and Gilbert families, plus three of Rose’s closest friends. Yvonne sat at the main table, right next to Tatiana and another stylish lady.

Seats on Rose’s right were arranged by seniority, starting with her eldest son Daniel, then Wyatt, and so on.

Andrea stayed close to Max, looking every inch the perfect, elegant heiress. The lady next to Yvonne glanced at them, then leaned in to whisper, “Your daughter really takes after you. She and Max look like a perfect match.”

Hearing that, Andrea felt a flash of pride. She couldn’t help but sneak a sideways glance at Felicia. At least Felicia understood her place. She didn’t deserve to be anywhere near Max.

Max shot Amber a look.

The rest of the table went quiet, all eyes turning their way.

Yvonne tried to break the tension. “Andrea, why don’t you take a seat?”

Amber glanced at Max, her tone cool. “I’ll go sit with Evelynn. Max, you can have my chair.”

As soon as Amber spoke, Andrea finally understood the reason for her public humiliation. It was all because of Felicia. That bitch just had to stir things up.

Wyatt stood up with his wife, gave a quick word to the elders, and let out a quiet sigh as he passed Max.

In the end, Andrea got to sit next to Max, just as she’d wanted. Only now, the excitement and pride she’d felt before had been replaced by a knot of anxiety she couldn’t shake.
