The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 772

"Jeremy is with me," Darin replied.

"You can come over. As for Mr. Milman, tell him to make himself scarce."

"He understands Felicia's current condition better than anyone," Darin argued.

Max's tone left absolutely no room for negotiation. "He's not a doctor. And I'm not generous enough to let him into my home."

Darin fell silent. Lowering the phone, he turned to look at Jeremy standing beside him. Since the call had been loud enough to hear, Jeremy had caught Max's harsh words. The outcome was exactly as he had expected.

"It’s okay. You can check on Felicia first," Jeremy told him.

Darin nodded. "I'll contact you later."

"Alright."

Back in the study, right after Max hung up with Darin, another call came in. It was Isaac. Max's sudden departure had stalled three full days' worth of executive work. While Isaac had no idea what was going on, he suspected that his boss dropping everything to fly to Australia had something to do with Felicia.

After running through a mountain of business reports, Isaac pivoted to a more pressing matter. "Mrs. Steele has been buried. Barnaby is still undergoing medical treatment, but his prognosis isn't optimistic. Their youngest daughter is currently living with Mrs. Steele's mother, and someone has been secretly providing financial assistance to them."

Isaac paused before dropping the real bombshell. "Right before Mrs. Steele jumped from the hospital roof, someone called her. We tracked down the registered owner of that phone number. It belongs to one of Miss Curtis's personal bodyguards."

This was a twist Isaac had never seen coming. Why would Andrea have any connection with Mrs. Steele? Also, when Barnaby's son launched a surprise attack on Max, it’s Andrea who had coincidentally been there to take the knife for him. Now that Max and Felicia had gone public with their relationship, Andrea must have been driven over the edge. Perhaps orchestrating this tragedy was just her twisted way of trying to win back Max's pity. But no one could have anticipated that Felicia's drastic transformation would ultimately force Max to change his mind entirely.

Listening to Isaac's report, Max's dark eyes grew dangerously cold.

The moment that call ended, Max dialed another number. It was picked up immediately on the other end. "Mr. Hawthorne," a respectful voice greeted.
