The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 584

Carol’s lips curled into a mocking smile. “Honestly, you two are just perfect for each other. Low-class nobodies who will never fit in here.”

She turned, ready to leave.

A cold voice cut through the room. “Walk out now and I promise you, Henry will be on his knees, begging for forgiveness.”

His words were sharp, absolute. His gaze was icy, laced with a threat that sent a chill down the spine.

Felicia frowned, glancing toward Darin. She’d never seen him like this. Usually, he was calm, always collected. Now, the way he rushed to defend her felt strange, even a little annoying.

Carol froze in place. For a moment, she stood there, stiff, trying to process what she’d just heard.

She whipped around, glaring at Darin with open defiance. Even though she was scared, she refused to give in. Her voice rose, shrill and shaking. “You’re just a pet for the Curtis family. You think you can do whatever you want because Max lets you tag along? Darin, who do you think you are? Do you really believe you can run wild in the Capital?”

Felicia finally got it. Carol was just like Andrea—no sense, no self-awareness.

This was why some families faded into nothing. They spoiled their kids, let them grow up convinced they were invincible, convinced the family name would protect them forever. In the end, it only bred arrogance and stupidity.

If Darin said he could ruin someone, he meant it. He had the power and the nerve. If Carol had even half of Dannie’s sense, maybe Max would have noticed her.

Darin’s expression didn’t change. “If you want to know what I can do, just watch what happens to your brother.” His voice was calm, almost bored, but there was a weight to it that made the air feel colder.

Sydney quickly stepped forward, trying to smooth things over. “Henry, it’s Mr. Foxhall’s first time at one of our gatherings. Let’s not make a scene. We can talk this out.”

She turned to Darin, her voice gentle but firm. “Mr. Foxhall, whatever this is, let’s sit down and sort it out. There’s no need to make it worse for everyone.”

That’s when Sydney noticed the cut on Felicia’s forehead, blood still not completely dry. Her eyes narrowed as she looked at Carol. “Carol, you’ve crossed the line this time. Apologize to Evelynn. Right now.”

Carol just pressed her lips together and glared at the floor, refusing to say a word.

Darin didn’t bother replying to Henry. He stepped aside, pulled out his phone, and started scrolling, ready to make a call.
