The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 1051

Max walked out of the school with Anne's backpack in one hand and her small hand in the other. Dean, who was waiting at the school gates, spotted them.

"Uncle Dean!" Anne called out when she saw him.

Max's eyes darkened slightly at the sight of Dean.

Anne walked up to him. "Uncle Dean, where is my mom?"

Dean looked down at her and replied, "She is at Capital College today. I'm here to take you to her."

"What is Mom doing at Capital College?"

"She's attending an academic symposium. It should be ending soon."

Anne looked up at her father. "Dad, let's go find Mom!" She then climbed into Max's car.

Once inside his own vehicle, Dean called Felicia to explain the situation. "Mr. Hawthorne came to pick up Anne, and she said she's going with him to Capital College to find you."

"Alright, I understand," Felicia replied. She ended the call just as Jeremy walked over.

"Did you get Anne?" Jeremy asked.

"Max went to the school to pick her up. I don't know if they'll come over," Felicia said. The symposium had concluded, and she was waiting for Anne so they could head back to the Ross estate for dinner.

"Then let's wait and see."

"Okay."

As they made their way toward the parking lot, they ran into someone familiar. It was Ivy.

"Ms. Ross, Mr. Milman," Ivy greeted them proactively.

Felicia carefully put her tickets away.

"How do you know Ivy?" Jeremy asked.

As they continued toward the parking lot, Felicia explained their connection.

"It seems the higher someone's status, the more hidden layers they have. I wonder how Willa is doing now," Felicia mused. She also wondered about Luke and whether he and Ivy had reconnected. Aside from seeing Luke at the funeral, she hadn't run into him at the villa lately. From what Greg had mentioned, he hadn't seen Luke for a while either, likely because he was busy.

"I've heard a few things about the Manning family's situation," Jeremy said. "As long as everyone is safe, there's no need to worry too much. But it sounds like Max definitely intervened." This detail left Jeremy slightly puzzled. Max had previously warned Felicia not to meddle in other people's business. Given Max's relationship with Jeffrey, it stood to reason he wouldn't interfere in Jeffrey's private affairs. What was his motive? Was it because of Luke?

"Well, it's his business anyway," Felicia said, too weary to pry further.

They reached the parking lot. Anne still hadn't called, so Felicia wasn't sure if Max was bringing her over. She got into Jeremy's car, and they drove to the university entrance to wait.

Ten minutes later, Felicia noticed a Rolls-Royce slowly pulling up in the rearview mirror. She immediately opened her door and stepped out. The door of the Rolls-Royce opened, and Anne hopped out, followed closely by Max.
