The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 686

For the next two days, Felicia stayed home from work.

Anne took time off from school to stay with her mom. Heather and Yara were also staying at the Ross family home for the time being.

Ava couldn't have been happier. A full house meant it was lively, and it kept Felicia from overthinking things.

Max, on the other hand, spent both days holed up in his office at BlueMarble Investments. He didn't return to Oakridge Estate, partly because he was swamped with work, but mostly because he was dealing with the fallout from making his relationship with Felicia public.

Although the online chatter had died down, the offline storm had not yet subsided.

At the board meeting, Miranda and Daniel were both in attendance.

The most critical issue raised was Felicia's position as Investment Director at Roen Capital. The board believed that Max's decision to grant BlueMarble Investments' business to Roen Capital was primarily because of Felicia, and they felt he was being led astray.

Therefore, since Felicia was now Max's wife, she could not continue to hold any position at Roen Capital.

In her heart, Miranda strongly disagreed with Max's methods.

Of course, she knew her grandson's capabilities and his way of doing things better than anyone. So, she could only choose to acquiesce. The entire company was his now. She had long since lost the ability to control him.

The other board members had thought that with Miranda present, they could get Max to give them a proper explanation. But throughout the meeting, she didn't reprimand him.

Daniel also remained silent.

Max's expression grew darker, and the pressure in the room intensified.

"If that's all, then this meeting is adjourned."

The directors didn't dare say more. They bid their farewells and left the conference room one by one.

Soon, only Miranda, Max, and Daniel remained.

Miranda looked at Max, her tone cautionary. "Max, the board's concerns are not entirely unfounded. I imagine you don't want Felicia to stay at Roen Capital either. It's best to resolve this sooner rather than later, to avoid further complications and endless gossip."

The aftershocks of Felicia and Max's marriage had not yet dissipated. It was now the main topic of conversation and gossip among the city's elite.

For years, no one knew who the mother of Max's daughter was. Now, everything was clear. The only remaining mystery was how, and when, the two had gotten married.
