The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 756

Daniel explained on Luke's behalf, "Mrs. Tate, you misunderstand. This is my younger brother's wife, Luke's sister-in-law."

Hearing this, Mrs. Tate realized her mistake and quickly apologized. "I am so sorry. So she is Max's wife. Why did Max not come?"

"He had some urgent work to handle," Felicia replied. "He might be a little late."

"I see."

Mrs. Tate could not help but study Felicia a bit more closely. When Max announced his marriage, it caused quite a stir in their elite circles. Everyone had been asking about his new wife's background. Rumors claimed she came from an ordinary family and was entirely unworthy of the Hawthorne family. However, they also heard her professional capabilities were outstanding. Seeing her in person now and getting a feel of her graceful figure and elegant aura, it was no wonder she had caught Max's eye.

Mrs. Tate remained very polite to Felicia.

After a brief chat, Kate and Felicia went to sit in a quieter area.

Daniel and Luke went off to greet the other guests. After speaking with two arrivals, Daniel turned to his brother. "Come here for a second."

They took a seat in a relatively secluded corner.

"Did Max ask you to bring her here?" Daniel asked.

Luke gave a vague nod and took a sip of red wine.

Noticing his low spirits, Daniel sighed. "You should know why he asked you to escort her. Luke, do not be so stubborn."

Max wanted everyone to know she was Luke sister-in-law.

"Even if they do not make it to the end, it will never happen between you two."

"I know," Luke said. "You do not need to keep reminding me."

Daniel frowned deeply at his brother's demeanor and let out another sigh. "I hope you truly understand that."

Luke did not reply. He simply raised his glass and downed the rest of his wine in one gulp.

Luke glared at his brother. "Aunt Tatiana is intentionally trying to humiliate Felicia, is she not?"

Kate had clearly been called away on purpose.

Even though Max had publicly announced his marriage, within their elite circle, Tatiana had never acknowledged Felicia. The couple had no wedding and no formal announcement banquet.

In the eyes of these society ladies, Felicia lacked the Hawthorne family's approval. Because of Tatiana's attitude, none of the older women would ever approach Felicia. They were obviously isolating her.

"Your sister-in-law will go back to keep her company in a minute," Daniel said.

Luke ignored the warning and strode directly toward Felicia.

Right at that moment, a young woman abruptly tossed the contents of her wine glass straight at Felicia. Felicia dodged quickly enough to keep it off her face, but the red liquid still splashed across her white dress, leaving a glaring crimson stain.

The woman sneered in a mock apologetic tone. "Oh, so sorry. My hand just slipped."
