The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 287

Felicia gave her assistant a few quick instructions, then she and Luke took the elevator down and walked out of the building together.

“Is something wrong with the divorce?” Luke asked quietly. He had overheard Jeremy’s call earlier and couldn’t hide his concern.

Felicia shook her head. “We’ll only know once we get there.”

A heavy sense of dread settled in her chest. She tried to push it down, but it lingered, cold and persistent.

Half an hour later, Luke parked outside the office. They got out and headed straight inside, making their way to Sam’s office.

“Jeremy, Sam,” Felicia greeted as they entered.

Jeremy glanced at Luke, giving him a small nod. Luke nodded back, both men sharing a silent understanding.

“Come, have a seat,” Sam said.

Felicia sat on the sofa, leaning forward. “What’s happened?”

Jeremy handed her a thick file, all in English. “Look at this first.”

Felicia took the file and flipped through it, her eyes moving quickly over the pages. It was a detailed breakdown of Horizon Peak Energy’s ownership structure.

Jeremy started to explain. “The company that just acquired Horizon Peak Energy is Goldin Asset Management. Max is the legal representative.”

The words hit her like a punch. Felicia’s eyes widened in shock. “What?”

It felt like her world stopped spinning. Max. How could it be him? That meant he was now the largest shareholder of Northstar Dynamics too.

Jeremy’s voice was calm but firm. “So, your divorce just got a lot more complicated.”

Felicia’s hands tightened around the file. Her face grew paler, her jaw set in frustration.

Sam spoke up. “Now this involves all your shared assets. If he files any claims, things could drag on for a long time. So far, there’s been nothing from his lawyers, but we’ll probably hear something by tomorrow.”

Luke looked tense. “He didn’t just decide to buy Horizon Peak Energy out of nowhere.”

Jeremy nodded. “This has been planned for almost a year. Horizon Peak tried to resist, but the Felix family helped Max pull it off. That’s probably why he was overseas recently.”
