The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 76

“Alright, Savannah, let’s not go there,” Jeremy said, trying to keep things calm. Savannah had been stewing the whole ride over. She really hadn’t meant to go off, but once she started talking, her anger just took over. She clamped her mouth shut.

Jeremy added, “The Brightfield Digital deal will get sorted out. There’s no need for you to talk to Max.” He could guess why Felicia ended up in the hospital so suddenly. She must have said something to Max.

Savannah jumped in right away. “Exactly, Felicia, don’t stress about it. Seriously, we aren’t afraid of that jerk. There’s no way we’re letting Max get the best of us…” Jeremy shot her a warning look. Savannah pouted, choosing not to push it any further.

Felicia couldn’t help but let out a soft chuckle.

At this point, things had gotten way past just the Brightfield Digital acquisition. Now it was all about Roen Capital going head-to-head with BlueMarble Investments.

Then came a knock at the door.

Everyone looked up to see Darin standing at the entrance. Savannah’s expression turned icy in an instant. “What do you want?”

Darin stepped in, holding some nutritional supplements. Savannah watched him, every muscle tense and ready for trouble.

Darin focused on Felicia. When he saw she was okay, his shoulders relaxed a little. “Sorry for showing up unannounced. I hope that’s alright.”

Savannah scoffed. “You really know how to make yourself comfortable, don’t you?”

Darin glanced at her, not bothering to answer, and turned to Jeremy instead. “Mr. Milman, since you’re here, can we talk outside for a minute?”

Jeremy nodded. Darin set down the supplements and walked out.

About fifteen minutes later, Darin left the hospital and headed for Max’s company.

Jeremy came back into the room.

“Is he gone?” Savannah asked.

After Riverline Properties said they failed the assessment, there had been total silence, like they were just going along with whatever Andrea wanted. So what changed? Why go after Brightfield Digital now?

Jeremy explained, “He said he reviewed the documents again and thinks Brightfield Digital meets the requirements. Darin might spoil his sister, but he’s not completely unreasonable.”

Savannah huffed. “So what, he just buys companies on a whim and backs out when he feels like it?”

Jeremy didn’t respond. “Let’s just wait and see what Riverline Properties says to Brightfield Digital.”

Meanwhile, Darin arrived at Max’s company and walked into his office. Isaac was still in there, running through a report. Watching Max work away, Darin noticed how little he seemed to care about his pregnant wife.

When Isaac finished and left, Max glanced up. “What do you want?”

Darin walked over. “You busy?”
