The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 667

In the end, Felicia took the two boxes of pastries and went to the airport alone in a taxi.

She landed in the Capital around noon.

The driver was there to pick her up and drove her back to the Ross family home.

The next day, she went to pick up Anne and bring her back to the house.

Colton was assembling something in the living room while Ava sat nearby with Sean, who was happily playing with a small, carved wooden toy.

“Grandpa Colton! Grandma Ava!” Anne called out as she saw them.

Colton looked up and put down the part he was holding. “Anne, you’re here! Come give me a hug.”

Anne scampered over.

Colton pulled his granddaughter into his arms for a hug. It had been a while, and he had missed her dearly.

Felicia’s gaze fell on a collection of carved wooden toys on the coffee table. The craftsmanship was exquisite, clearly master-level work made with traditional techniques.

Colton handed one to Anne, who looked at it with curiosity, having never seen anything like it before.

“Dad, who sent all these?”

Colton explained, “My friend had them sent over. He said he knows an old master craftsman and bought them for the children.”

Felicia was surprised. Her father had mentioned that Dean lived abroad most of the year. She never would have guessed he knew traditional artisans back home.

“Anne, do you want to build this with Grandpa?”

“Yes!” Anne said happily. “Mommy, you join too.”

And with that, the conversation ended. He really did seem busy.

For now, it seemed Dean had no ulterior motives. But the more aimless his generosity appeared, the more unsettling it was. She decided she would just have to wait until she could arrange a meal with him and meet him in person.

She temporarily set aside her doubts.

That evening, Felicia learned that Greg’s company was in trouble. A project delivered at the beginning of the year had experienced a major system failure. In the end, it was Brock and his technical team who had stepped in to fix the glitch, preventing a catastrophic loss.

Of course, Greg had known in advance that someone was planning to sabotage the project. Brock’s dramatic rescue was a calculated power play. It was designed to build his image within the company and prove to their clients that he was more capable than Greg.

The dispute between the two over company management had started last year, and now the conflict had only deepened. Brock’s ambition was growing, and he wanted to marginalize Greg and take sole control of the company.

For Brock to act so boldly now meant he must have someone powerful backing him.

Now that things had reached this point, Greg was planning to use this incident to push Brock out of the company’s core leadership and force him to go independent.
