The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 68

Back when Felicia was working as Max’s assistant, she’d built up a pretty solid network with a lot of top execs. BlueMarble Investments worked closely with IronGate Industries, and the Vivian she was calling now was a senior leader at IronGate Industries. Because of a past business deal, Vivian had once come to the Capital for work, and Felicia played tour guide, showing her around the city, eating out, having fun. Vivian was more than ten years older, but the age gap never got in the way. They clicked, and after that trip, they kept in touch.

They hadn’t talked much recently, so when Vivian picked up the phone and heard Felicia’s voice, she sounded a little surprised.

“Wow, it’s been ages. How have you been?”

They spent a couple minutes catching up, then Felicia got to the point. “Actually, I was hoping you could help me ask about something.”

Vivian didn’t even hesitate. “Sure, what is it?”

Felicia explained the situation as simply as she could. Vivian said, “Alright, I’ll see what I can find out and let you know tomorrow.”

“Thank you, Vivian.”

Felicia was honestly surprised by how quickly Vivian agreed to help.

After the call, Felicia left her room and filled Colton and the rest in on what she’d done. Colton nodded. “If we can figure out the real reason, at least we’ll know what we’re dealing with.”

Felicia decided to stay at the Ross family home that night. She thought about calling Max to let him know, but after a minute of hesitation, she put her phone away. He probably wouldn’t care anyway.

And just like she expected, Max didn’t call her once that night.

The next morning, Colton and Greg headed off to work. Ava stayed at home with Felicia. Some relatives back in their hometown had sent over a box of healthy food, and Ava said she’d cook some for lunch.

Meanwhile, Mr. Green from Riverline Properties turned down Colton’s invitation. All they could do now was wait for Vivian’s reply.

It wasn’t until about five in the afternoon that Vivian finally called back.

“Hi, Vivian,” Felicia answered.
