The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 301

The bodyguard watched the two of them walk away. He didn’t try to stop them, just turned around and left.

Inside the luxury car, Yvonne gazed through the window, watching Felicia disappear into the distance. Her expression was hard to read, a mix of emotions flickering across her face.

Heather climbed into Felicia’s car, curiosity all over her face. “Who was that lady who wanted to see you?”

Felicia kept her eyes on the road and replied, “If I had to guess, it’s probably Andrea’s mother.”

Heather’s brows pinched together. She let out a frustrated sigh. “What does she want from you this time?”

Felicia started the engine. “Your guess is as good as mine.”

Heather huffed. “She’s not looking to cause trouble again, is she?”

Felicia only shrugged. “Who knows.”

The car fell into silence.

Meanwhile, the bodyguard walked back to the other car and addressed the woman inside, his tone respectful. “Madam.”

Yvonne drew her gaze away from the window and spoke quietly. “Let’s go.”

At BlueMarble Investments, Max sat in his office, scrolling through the background check on his tablet. His usual calm faded, and a hint of tension crept into his features.

Just then, his phone buzzed. Max glanced at the screen, saw the caller ID, and answered. Hi, Yvonne.”

Twenty minutes later, Max arrived at a hotel restaurant. Yvonne was already waiting. She gestured to the seat across from her. “Have a seat, Max.”

He sat down. Yvonne slid a tablet across the table. “Take a look at the menu. Order whatever you’d like.”

Max met her gaze, his expression calm and unreadable. He kept silent.

Yvonne’s eyes softened. “I hope you won’t tell Darin about this. And especially not Andrea.”

She paused. “Luckily, I don’t think he even knows your wife’s name.”

That was true. Max had never mentioned Felicia’s name to Darin, and Darin never cared enough to ask about a wife Max barely acknowledged.

Yvonne went on. “Since he isn’t willing to look into it himself, I can tell he’s got his own reasons. His father has already built a new family, and Felicia has a new brother now. They’re happy, they’re doing well. After all these years apart, it’s probably better for everyone if things stay that way. No need to dig up old wounds. This way, nobody gets hurt. It’s for his own good.”

The conversation ended there.

After leaving Yvonne, Max walked out of the hotel and got into his car. He sat in silence for a moment, staring at his phone. Finally, he made a call.
