The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 268

Max went quiet for a moment, then asked, “So, what are you up to now, Anne?”

“Evelynn just dropped me off for my piano lesson. It’s her mom’s birthday today,” Anne replied.

“Alright,” Max said. “You focus on your lesson for now.”

Anne hesitated. “But what about Evelynn? What if someone hurt her again?”

“We’ll talk about it when I get home, okay?”

Anne grumbled a little. “Okay, but when are you coming back, Daddy?”

“In a few days,” Max promised.

They chatted for a bit longer until Max managed to calm her down. Anne’s piano lesson was set to finish at two forty, and while she was in class, Felicia took advantage of the break to review some documents.

Horizon Peak Energy’s parent company had just been acquired for a billion dollars. All of Horizon Peak’s shares would be transferred over. The buyer was a major North American investment group, and the Felix family was their biggest shareholder. A change like this was always something to watch carefully, but for now, it didn’t look like it would make a huge difference. Felicia scanned through the latest quarterly financials before setting the files aside.

Meanwhile, at a villa where a group of elegant ladies were gathered, Yvonne called her son. She had just found out Evelynn and Ava were taken in by the police, and it was Darin who had called in a favor.

“Darin, what are you doing? Your sister keeps getting picked on by that bitch. When has she ever been treated like this?”

“Mom, Andrea started it,” Darin replied. “If this turns into a big deal, Andrea won’t have the upper hand.”
