Mason and the others hurried after her.
Max turned to watch Felicia walk away, then quietly got into his car.
Inside the lounge, Felicia negotiated with the client for nearly an hour.
She treated them to dinner that evening, fully resolving the matter. From then on, the head of the Second Department would take full responsibility for tracking the project.
After seeing the client off, Felicia returned to the office to wrap up her remaining work. A thought crossed her mind, and she searched her computer for any related news reports.
There were already fresh updates, though the articles were far too vague. The specific details of the downfall remained unclear.
Just then, Jeremy came looking for her to ask about the project handover. Felicia took the opportunity to ask about Vanguard Capital. As it turned out, Vanguard had signed a massive gambling agreement with a subsidiary of BlueMarble Investments. A major Vanguard project had hit a snag earlier in the year. If they had succeeded, they could have torn a massive chunk of profit right out of BlueMarble. But evidently, they failed, and the ultimate result was liquidating everything they owned to pay off the debt.
The battles between capital giants were always this bloody, devoid of any mercy.
Felicia wondered how Mrs. Steele had even known Max's schedule today to ambush him with her youngest daughter. She clearly hoped the sight would soften his heart.
Thinking of the little girl, Felicia could not help but sigh inwardly.
Sometimes, being born into an ordinary family and living a simple, peaceful life was a true blessing.
"Why the sudden interest in Vanguard?" Jeremy asked.
Felicia briefly explained the encounter at the golf club.
"There is really nothing anyone can do," Jeremy noted.
Felicia nodded lightly with a soft agreement, offering no further comment.
Afterward, the two went downstairs to grab a bite across the street. Savannah and Anthony had asked them to join. They had been out running errands all day and had not eaten dinner yet. They were already waiting inside the restaurant. Though Felicia was not particularly hungry, she decided to keep them company and eat a little.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max)
Nothing today...
The story starting to feel dragged out. Nothing much is happening anymore and Felicia and Max are getting kinda boring.. it’s just the same cycle over and over again...
I used to like this story but now it draaaaags :( Now it seems like all characters are problematic and toxic (yes, ALL characters). Wish the author will give some warmth/emotion in this story. 700+ chapters and still no highlight, no exciting part, just pure coldness and expressionlessness lol...
Max and felicia really need to figure things out. Either humble max down and get him to respect his wife. Or let felicia be a free woman. Max is so ignorant and egomaniac...
I've reached chapter 104 with a broken heart huhuuhu. This is so heavy, so sad. I know the chapters onwards will be more lighter. Can't wait for the pay back time....
When will this novel get an end It's dragging so much. Just kill max asap. How much should felicia bare. Give her freedom from that max and anne. Anne is so annoying child.
