The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 837

"Then who have you met with recently, Dad?" Felicia pressed, her eyes searching his face.

"I have been home taking care of Sean this whole time," Colton stammered. "I have not even gone fishing. The only time I went out was that night I had a few drinks with Ollie."

Colton froze, a sudden realization crashing over him. "Wait! I remember now. After I drank Ollie's alcohol, my head started spinning like crazy. But I swear I only had a tiny sip!"

"Call Ollie right now," Felicia demanded.

"Okay, okay," Colton scrambled for his phone.

Felicia turned to the law enforcement officers, her voice steady and commanding. "I apologize, but could you give us a moment? My father has been retired for years and has absolutely no reason to take on any financial risks. We need time to figure out exactly what is going on here."

The officers were well aware of the dirty tricks often played in corporate disputes, but the legal documents in their hands were perfectly valid. They were just following standard procedures. "Take your time," the lead officer replied neutrally.

Colton dialed the number, but the call failed immediately. The line had already been disconnected.

The truth was glaringly obvious. The drink Colton had consumed that night was undoubtedly laced with some kind of narcotic, leaving him disoriented enough to sign his name and press his thumbprint onto a document he could not comprehend. Ollie, his supposed friend who invited him to dinner, was clearly just a pawn executing someone else's dirty work.

Felicia pulled out her own phone and called Mason, urgently requesting him to investigate the companies listed in the document.

Ten minutes later, Mason called back with the results. The company demanding the debt repayment was a pharmaceutical firm acquired by IronGate Industries earlier that year.

Felicia gripped her phone so tightly her knuckles turned white. It was the Curtis family.
