The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 1080

Colton's eyes darkened with disapproval.

"Dad, Ava, I will see him out," Darin said, shoving Max's shoulder to propel him forward.

Max gave Darin a warning look, brushed off his shoulder, and gave a polite nod to Colton and Ava before striding away. Once they reached the front gate, Max looked back at Darin, his lips curving in amusement. "What, are you planning to escort me all the way home?"

Darin rolled his eyes. "Just get lost." With that, he turned on his heel, went back inside the villa, and firmly shut the door. Max chuckled, pulled his car door open, and got in.

The next morning at ten o'clock, the five-day Global Investment Summit was scheduled to commence at the Capital Convention Center. Max woke up early and sent Felicia a message detailing his itinerary for the day, ending with: I will come find you tonight after I finish up.

Knowing she would likely just glance at it, he didn't expect a reply. Just as he settled into his car, his phone buzzed with a message from her: [Max, you had better not pull any more of your stunts regarding Jeremy.] She had been meaning to bring this up the day before.

Max typed out a defense: I am not pulling any stunts.

Felicia could hardly believe he was denying it so righteously. Before she could reply, another message popped up: I merely gave Dannie an opportunity. Whether she succeeds or not depends on her.

Reading his words, Felicia let out a laugh of sheer disbelief and typed back: So you think you did the right thing? You think you performed some great deed?

Max: I wouldn't call it a great deed.

Felicia scowled at the screen, her expression turning icy. Who exactly are you trying to disgust with that kind of talk?

Max stared grimly at his phone. After what felt like an eternity, he finally replied: It just annoys me how he is always hovering around you for no reason. It is not like he lacks quality women in his orbit.

When Max had initially taken too long to reply, Felicia had closed the app and tossed her phone into her purse. Even when she heard the notification chime, she couldn't be bothered to check it. She knew he wouldn't have anything good to say, and reading it would only anger her further. Turning her gaze out the car window, she focused on calming herself.
