The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 173

Felicia glanced at Mason. “Call Jett. Tell him if he’s not here in twenty minutes, he can start writing his resignation letter.”

Mason nodded and stepped out to make the call.

Exactly twenty minutes later, Jett showed up, with Grady and Peter close behind. Jett was thirty-nine, lean and sharp, his glasses giving him a bookish vibe, but his narrow eyes made him look clever and calculating.

As soon as he saw Felicia, Jett started apologizing. “Evelynn, I’m really sorry. Grady and I had a meeting today with someone from Westfield Clinical Research. We didn’t have time to let you know in advance, but I’ll share all the details with you soon.”

Felicia smiled, but it didn’t really reach her eyes. “Is that so? Looks like I misjudged you, Jett. I’ll be waiting to hear your report later.”

“Of course. Absolutely,” Jett replied, quick to agree.

“Take a seat,” Felicia said.

Jett sat down, lowering his gaze, but there was a flash of something dark in his eyes.

The meeting began. For almost two hours, everyone discussed projects and plans. Everything seemed to go smoothly. Felicia complimented many of Jett’s ideas, agreeing with his suggestions and making it look like she trusted him completely.

When the meeting ended, people started to leave one by one.

Outside the conference room, Jett let out a mocking laugh. “She’s a woman. What can she do?”

Grady spoke up. “Don’t underestimate her, Jett. Evelynn’s actually really capable. Remember that business crisis in the US? She handled it all by herself.”

Jett scoffed. “Mr. Milman was in the States the whole time. Maybe he fixed it himself. Everyone knows Mr. Milman is not interested in girls, but it looks like even he’s not immune to her.”
