The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 1126

Listening to Luke's steady voice, Willa's guilt only intensifies. Is she truly this helpless? She has no idea what to do, terrified that any action she takes will only cause them more trouble.

"I'm so sorry, Luke," she whispers, her voice trembling.

Luke speaks with earnest reassurance. "Willa, please don't blame yourself. No one is holding this against you, so you need to let it go."

His strong, comforting tone wraps around her like a warm blanket, causing a flutter in her chest. Her eyes prickle with tears. Afraid she might break down if she speaks, she simply hums in agreement.

"Stay where you are, spend time with Anne, and patiently wait for Felicia to return," Luke advises gently.

Willa grips her phone tightly, forcing her emotions under control. "Okay."

"Good. Get some rest tonight and try not to think about this."

"I will. You take care of yourself too."

After ending the call, Willa clears the unsaved number from her screen, feeling a fraction of peace return to her heart.

Over the next three days, an unprecedented upheaval sweeps through the Manning family. Jeffrey implements aggressive policies designed to dismantle the deep-rooted influence of the branch families. The loyalists he has cultivated over the years quickly step up to replace the old guard, ensuring the transition of power remains entirely under his control. Naturally, this purge threatens not only the branch families but also their allied corporate partners. Desperate to counter him, these external factions scramble to form an alliance and pressure Jeffrey into backing down.

Caleb Manning tries repeatedly to contact Max but fails. Left with no other option, he reaches out to Isaac.

Isaac enters Max's office to deliver a stack of documents. Max has shown zero reaction to Jeffrey's aggressive maneuvers, continuing business as usual as if entirely unaffected. After running through the scheduled reports, Isaac mentions the call. "Mr. Caleb Manning just contacted me. He hopes to invite you to dinner tonight."
