The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 672

“I heard it from Dannie today,” Felicia said.

“Don’t worry about it,” Jeremy replied. “I’ll handle things on my end.”

Felicia murmured her agreement and didn’t press for more details.

They exchanged a few more words before hanging up.

Savannah scoffed. “Max is being awfully generous these days. What’s next? Are you going to ask for a stake in BlueMarble Investments? I bet he’d give you that, too.”

Felicia stared out the window. Max was the kind of man who would do anything to get what he wanted, and he showed no mercy for the things he despised. He never hid his intentions or regretted his actions. He was a villain, pure and simple, and he made no apologies for it.

By the next day, the news that BlueMarble Investments had voluntarily relinquished its investment share in Heathview was trending on financial news sites.

The development sent ripples through the industry, sparking intense speculation.

BlueMarble Investments and Roen Capital had been fierce rivals for years. Just last year, Max had cost Jeremy’s company billions, only to turn around and hand over the TC Project partnership at the end of the year.

Now he was giving up shares in Heathview. It was completely out of character. Why would he willingly hand money to a competitor?

Could it be that Jeremy had some kind of leverage over Max?

Theories flew wildly within their social circle.

That evening, Felicia was hosting her show when a guest brought up the story. She navigated the topic with a polished, officially scripted response.

But after the show, a photograph was posted on a popular financial forum.

...

The post quickly went viral.

The comments were overwhelmingly focused on Felicia’s supposed social climbing, with the narrative quickly turning against her. People claimed she wasn’t the editor-in-chief of a financial magazine and an investment director at Roen Capital because of her talent, but because she had used her looks to get powerful men to prop her up. Any lone voice of reason was instantly drowned in a tidal wave of online vitriol.

Soon, gossip sites and tabloids began to pick up the story, eager to capitalize on the public’s endless fascination with the scandals of the rich and famous.

They embellished the details, publishing articles with sensational, unverified headlines.

What had started as insider gossip quickly broke into the mainstream, capturing widespread public attention.
