The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 330

Max cut a striking figure in his custom black suit, standing tall and composed. His face held that familiar cool seriousness, the kind that made it hard to guess what he was thinking. Next to him was Darin, dressed in a sharp silver-gray suit, looking every bit the gentleman. Compared to Max, Darin had a softer, more approachable vibe.

Between them walked Andrea, stunning in a luxurious pink gown. Her features were flawless and her smile carried just a hint of arrogance, the kind of look only someone truly spoiled by their family could pull off. She held onto Max’s arm, close and comfortable, making it obvious to anyone watching that they were more than just friends.

As the three of them stepped into the room, heads turned instantly. Their good looks and presence drew eyes from every corner and people wasted no time coming over to chat.

Andrea spotted her parents across the room. She squeezed Max’s arm and leaned in. “Max, come say hi to my parents with me.”

He nodded quietly, and together they made their way over to Yvonne and Hank.

“Dad, Mom,” Andrea greeted, her voice warm.

Yvonne’s eyes softened with affection. “You’re all grown up. You need to be more mature.”

Andrea slipped her arm through her mother’s, pouting playfully. “I am maturee.”

Yvonne turned to Max with a knowing smile. “Max, since Andrea’s working for you now, you’ll have to keep her in check. Don’t let her get away with acting like a kid the way she used to.”

Even though she was pretending to scold, her voice was filled with love.

“Mom, when have I ever been childish?” Andrea protested, sticking out her bottom lip.

Hank just laughed, his tone indulgent. “It doesn’t matter. To us, you’ll always be our little girl.”

Andrea lit up, completely basking in the warmth of her parents’ love and the man she loved standing right beside her. From a distance, they looked like the perfect happy family.

“Mr. Hawthorne’s never shown up at a Curtis family event before. Him coming tonight must mean something big is happening.”

Jim kept his smile in place as he excused himself to go greet someone else, telling Anthony he’d be back.

“Of course, Mr. Curtis,” Anthony replied smoothly.

The executives followed Jim, leaving Felicia and Anthony behind. Neither of them had any intention of joining the others, so they found a quiet spot to sit.

Meanwhile, Max and his group were still the center of attention, impossible to overlook in a room full of people.

Anthony glanced at the scene and murmured, “What do you think Max is up to? Is he here to back up the Curtis family, to embarrass us, or is he just playing the role of Andrea’s loyal boyfriend?”
