The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 230

Felicia offered a small smile. “Yeah, a little bit.”

“It’s the weekend. Let me make you something good to help you recover,” Ava said.

Felicia nodded. “Thanks, Mom.”

After dinner, they all settled in the living room, chatting quietly. Colton eventually brought up the divorce. He already knew Felicia had filed the paperwork.

Felicia didn’t hide anything from her parents. “I’m meeting Cameron tomorrow to talk things through.”

Colton frowned. “What is Max even thinking? He’s the one who wanted a divorce in the first place. It’s been years, but he still won’t go through with it.”

They did owe money to the Hawthorne family, Greg’s company had finally gotten back on track last year, finishing two big projects. The money was ready. Greg had reached out to Max, but Max just said, “Have Felicia talk to me herself.”

Felicia had no interest in ever seeing Max again. Since he refused to sign the divorce papers, she decided to take it to court instead.

Now, the hearing had been pushed back again. As long as Max kept interfering, even if they made it to court, the judge might not grant the divorce.

Everyone knew Max wasn’t holding on because he still cared about her.

The mood in the living room turned heavy.

Then Luke spoke up. “Maybe Max won’t divorce you because of Anne.”

Felicia looked at him, caught off guard.

Maybe she’d have to talk to Max face to face, too.

The next day, Felicia got a call from Jeremy. He had a friend who was a top divorce lawyer, and the lawyer happened to be coming to the Capital soon. Jeremy asked if she wanted to meet him.

Three years ago, this attorney had been on the team for that massive ten-billion-dollar divorce case that made headlines everywhere. He’d helped the wife walk away with nearly four billion dollars. Over the past two years, he’d taken on a bunch of major divorce cases in the country and won more than ninety percent of them.

“Since things have gotten this far,” Jeremy said, “I really think you should put together a more professional legal team. That might be your best shot.”

Felicia had never thought she’d need a whole team of lawyers just to get divorced. She didn’t want any of Max’s money, and Max adored Anne, so she’d never planned to fight for custody.

But seeing how stubborn Max was being now, she realized that relying on Cameron alone probably wasn’t going to cut it.
