The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 683

So, overnight, it was as if nothing had ever happened.

But the fact remained that Felicia and Max were married.

The Investment Director of Roen Capital was now Mrs. Hawthorne.

That evening, Max returned to the Hawthorne estate.

The atmosphere in the living room was exceptionally tense.

He announced his decision to host a party to formally introduce Felicia.

Tatiana was the first to object. "Max, you're being too impulsive. You've walked right into her trap. When have you ever let a woman lead you around by the nose?"

"Mom, I know exactly what I'm doing," Max said calmly. "And no one is leading me anywhere. Grandma was right. I need a marriage to continue the family line."

Tatiana's face darkened with anger, and she stormed upstairs to her room.

Brandon looked at his son, his voice heavy. "Max, you should have discussed something this major with us first."

"It all happened suddenly," Max replied. "There wasn't time to tell you beforehand."

What was done was done. There was no point in saying anything more.

Miranda spoke up. "If she behaves, then fine. But Max, Felicia isn't the same woman she was five years ago. You'd best be on your guard. The person sleeping next to you is often the most deadly."

"I know," Max acknowledged.

Miranda sighed. "Since you've made the relationship public, she can no longer continue working at Roen Capital."

...

Meanwhile, in the CEO's office at Roen Capital.

Trey, sitting across from him, took a drag from his cigarette. "He hung up that fast?"

A stunning, voluptuous woman knelt before Holden, offering him a glass of wine with both hands. Holden took it, his eyes flashing with a dark light. He swirled the red wine, a wicked curve touching his thin lips. "The fact that he even answered the phone proves he's wavering. There's no such thing as a perfect gentleman in this world. They're just men suppressing their inner wickedness. The more you suppress it, the greater the desire grows. And Evelyn... she is his constantly swelling desire."

Trey said, "You have to admit, Evelyn certainly has a way with men."

Holden took a sip of wine. "If I had known, I should have had a taste of her myself back then. But it doesn't matter now. She has a much greater purpose to serve."

She could be the one to finally make Jeremy and Max tear each other apart.

He couldn't wait for that day to come.

Thinking about it, the smirk on his lips deepened.

"Do you think Evelyn is actually into Jeremy?"
