The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 1076

She had never expected that Max was the one who deliberately orchestrated Dannie's approach toward Adrian and Shannon.

"It's not a major issue. I haven't let it bother me," Jeremy assured her.

Felicia nodded and decided not to press the matter further. "Alright, stay safe on the road."

"I'll be going now," Jeremy said, turning and walking out of the living room.

As soon as he stepped outside, he saw Max standing there. It was impossible to tell how long he had been waiting. Felicia, watching Jeremy's retreating figure, noticed him suddenly stop. She walked forward and immediately spotted Max standing outside. Her expression darkened instantly.

Max looked at her, clearly catching the shift in her mood.

"You still haven't left?" Felicia demanded.

Max shifted his gaze back to Jeremy. "Shouldn't I stick around to hear if someone is busy gossiping about me?"

Jeremy's lips curled into a faint, mocking smirk, and he let out a cold laugh.

Felicia frowned at Max. "And who exactly did you hear gossiping about you?"

Max strode forward, walking right past Jeremy. He grabbed Felicia's hand, placed his other hand firmly on her shoulder, and half-pushed, half-pulled her back inside the house.

"Max, what are you doing?" she snapped.

"Let's go inside first," he ordered.

He pushed Felicia into the foyer and reached out to shut the half-open door. Before it could click shut, a strong force pushed back from the outside, stopping it in its tracks. Max turned his head and saw Jeremy standing there, his hand firmly braced against the doorframe.
