The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 678

After her meeting with them, Felicia rose and left the office.

Anthony turned to Jeremy. “Do you think Max will actually go public with his and Felicia’s relationship?”

If Max did, it would undoubtedly cause a massive stir, which would, of course, also be the perfect way to clear up the current media storm.

But if he went public...

Felicia’s position at Roen Capital would inevitably be scrutinized.

Jeremy’s expression was grim.

Anthony knew that was his biggest worry.

Max was clearly adamant about not getting a divorce and had even made a significant concession for Felicia’s sake. While it was certainly frustrating, he had offered up enough to make his intentions regarding their marriage perfectly clear.

For a moment, Anthony could only sigh, unsure of what to say.

If Max wanted to make it public, no one could stop him.

Meeting Max was Felicia’s downfall.

But wasn’t Felicia a downfall for others, too?

That’s just how it was. It didn't matter if you were a man or a woman. You could love many people, you could even give them your body, but you could never, ever give away your heart.

At two in the afternoon, Felicia met Dannie at an exclusive, private club.

Felicia arrived first.

Dannie was ten minutes late. “Sorry, I’m late.”

Felicia set down her coffee. “Have a seat.”

Dannie sat across from Felicia, her posture perfectly composed. She ordered a coffee from the waiter before turning back to Felicia. “I’m surprised you asked to meet. Is something wrong?”

Felicia looked directly into her eyes. “I assume you’ve seen the news.”

At that, Dannie’s calm eyes slowly darkened.

Their gazes locked, and silence filled the air.

The waiter brought Dannie's coffee, its rich aroma wafting between them.

Felicia spoke slowly. “Your father’s partnership with Eastgate Securities is still going smoothly, I trust.”

Dannie’s brow furrowed almost imperceptibly, though her poised demeanor didn't falter. “What do you mean by that?”

Felicia offered a smile that didn’t reach her eyes. “The fact that you’re asking tells me you don’t know. He's been using the partnership with Eastgate as a front for illegal asset transfers.”

No matter how strong Dannie’s composure was, it was nearly impossible for her to remain calm after hearing those words.

The Lowe family hadn't exactly kept its hands clean over the decades. They had hidden assets that needed to be moved, and they had always made sure to grease the right wheels to ensure nothing ever leaked. Even if there were an investigation, nothing could be proven without concrete evidence.

Felicia might know a few things, and it could just be a bluff. Still, when she mentioned the partnership with Eastgate directly, she would know more about the financial dealings than anyone.
