The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 1121

Darin's brow furrowed in deep frustration.

"Just go home for now," Max added, dismissing him.

Darin stood rooted to the spot, refusing to leave.

Max looked up at him with a tired expression. "Is there something else?"

"You had better be able to guarantee Felicia's safety," Darin warned fiercely.

He turned on his heel and strode toward the door. Just as he reached for the handle, Max spoke up again.

"You should probably give Jeremy a heads-up. Tell him to think very carefully before deciding whether or not to cooperate with Jeffrey."

Darin paused mid-step, looking back over his shoulder. "Jeremy is not the kind of man who can be easily manipulated."

Max withdrew his gaze and said nothing more.

Darin took the elevator down to the parking garage and drove straight back to the Ross family estate. The moment he walked through the front door, Colton and Ava rushed over to meet him.

"Where is Felicia?" Ava asked frantically.

Darin quickly tried to soothe her nerves. "Ava, please do not worry. Felicia is perfectly safe right now. Nothing is going to happen to her."

"Then where is she?" Colton demanded anxiously.

Darin saw no reason to hide the truth. "She is with Jeffrey. He is Willa's older brother."

Ava frowned deeply. "Why on earth would he take Felicia? Does this have something to do with Willa?"

"It is likely about more than just Willa," Darin admitted. "But Jeffrey would not actually harm her, so please try to relax."

Ava was far from reassured. "How can I relax? Felicia is pregnant. She even has a prenatal checkup scheduled for tomorrow. What did Max say? When can he bring her back?"
