The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 835

The war between her son and her husband had escalated beyond any hope of reconciliation. What choice did she really have? Darin hated her now and offered her no mercy. She had no option but to stand by her husband to protect her other daughter and her younger son.

Just then, the maid hurried over with a phone. Yvonne took it and pressed it to her ear. "Hello."

"Mrs. Curtis, about the matter you promised me..."

"Do not worry. I have already made the arrangements. It will be taken care of by tomorrow," Yvonne replied smoothly.

"Excellent, excellent. Thank you so much, Mrs. Curtis."

Yvonne hung up the phone. A moment later, her own cell phone vibrated on the table. She answered it, and Hank's voice boomed through the speaker. "Yvonne, is it all done?"

Yvonne stared down at the signed agreement, her voice turning heavy and dark. "It is done."

Hank chuckled in satisfaction. "Good." He wanted to see exactly how Darin would react now. Would the boy ruthlessly abandon his own flesh and blood to die, or would he sacrifice his impending corporate victory?

Hank easily picked up on the complicated guilt lingering in Yvonne's voice. He softened his tone, offering a practiced layer of comfort. "Yvonne, you know I had no other choice. I worked so hard to raise Darin and mold him into a success. But now that his wings are fully grown, he turns around and stabs me in the back. It is completely unacceptable. I have to think about the family and the future of our son. He refuses to even acknowledge you as his mother anymore. If we do not take a hardline stance right now, we will never have a moment of peace again."

Yvonne gripped her phone tighter. "I know."

Meanwhile, Max returned to Oakridge Estate. He walked upstairs and quietly pushed open the door to Anne's room. Mother and daughter were lying together in the large bed, with Felicia gently coaxing the little girl to sleep. Max softened his footsteps and walked inside, sitting lightly on the edge of the mattress. He reached out and softly stroked Anne's head. "She is asleep."

Felicia continued to rhythmically pat Anne's back. Her eyes remained fixed solely on the child in her arms, completely ignoring the man sitting beside her. Max slowly pulled his hand back and shifted his gaze to Felicia. He sat there in silence for a long time before finally leaning over to pull the blankets securely over both of them. After whispering a few gentle instructions, he stood up and quietly left the room.
