The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 674

Anne nodded obediently.

Felicia washed up and got ready for bed. When she returned, Anne snuggled into her arms like a little kitten. “Mommy, you smell so good. I love your smell the most.”

Felicia held her daughter close. Thankfully, she had Anne with her, and the night wasn’t as terrible as it might have been.

By the next morning, the scandal that had blown up the night before had been scrubbed from public view. Within the financial world, however, the gossip about Evelynn’s relationships with Max, Darin, and Jeremy had become common knowledge.

All sorts of theories were flying around.

One popular rumor was that Jeremy had deliberately placed Evelynn by Max’s side to set a trap for him. Now that Evelynn had seemingly succeeded, the question was whether she would betray Jeremy and side with Max.

So even though the public frenzy had been contained, Evelynn had become the main topic of conversation after work for everyone in their circle. Reporters had already been camped out at the entrances of Roen Capital and BlueMarble Investments since the night before, waiting for interviews. Everyone was waiting to see how the two powerhouse investment firms would respond.

If this wasn't handled properly, it would undoubtedly damage the companies' reputations and financial interests.

The main character in the gossip, though, was combing Anne’s hair.

Knock, knock, knock. A sound came from the door.

“Come in,” Felicia said softly, without looking up.

Greg pushed the door open and stood in the doorway, his eyes on Felicia and Anne. He carefully studied Felicia’s expression.

Felicia looked up at him and called out quietly, “Greg.”

Hearing her calm, steady tone, Greg let out a sigh of relief. “Breakfast is ready,” he said. “Come downstairs and eat.”

During breakfast, Colton and Ava didn’t know what had happened, and Greg naturally didn’t ask any probing questions. The atmosphere in the dining room was as warm and peaceful as ever.

Suddenly, Anne said, “Mommy.”

Felicia placed a dumpling on her plate. “Yes, sweetie?”

Anne looked at Felicia. “Mommy’s mommy and daddy… They are my Grandma and Grandpa, right?”

At her words, Colton, Ava, and Greg all froze for a second.

“Felicia, let’s go for a walk outside,” Greg suggested.

“Okay.”

The two of them left the villa.

Only then did Greg ask about the news online.

“Max did offer to give up his investment share in Heathview,” Felicia confirmed.

Greg’s face was grim. After a moment of silence, he said slowly, “It seems to me he’s doing this more to humiliate Jeremy than anything else.”

A man’s pride was often his greatest vulnerability, especially when it came to a long-standing rival.

Max knew exactly where to stick the knife to cause the most pain. His actions made it seem like Jeremy hadn't won the project on his own merit, but through a woman.

Just then, a Rolls-Royce glided to a stop in front of the villa’s gates.
