The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 1000

"Alright, Mom, I'm busy right now. We'll talk later." Jeremy hung up the phone abruptly.

Felicia looked at him and asked, "What did your mother want?"

"It's nothing," Jeremy replied. "You go ahead and get back to work."

"Alright," Felicia said, standing up and leaving the room.

Jeremy leaned back in his chair, took off his glasses, and rubbed the bridge of his nose. He dropped his hand and let out a cold laugh, his expression turning icy. Max truly was shameless. After a long silence, he reached for his phone again and dialed a number.

Anthony answered the call with a teasing tone. "You finally decided to call me. Are you looking for my help?"

The two had spoken the night before. They had discussed company matters first. With Anthony handling things on that end, Jeremy could free up some time. The conversation had then shifted to Felicia's divorce from Max. Naturally, Anthony encouraged him to make his move quickly. Women needed emotional comfort the most after a divorce, making this the perfect opportunity. But Jeremy had zero interest in listening to his ridiculous advice.

Jeremy was in no mood for banter. His tone was dead serious. "I've reviewed the Vanguard Bio-Research Initiative. Secure it for me, no matter what it takes."

This was also BlueMarble Investments' key project for the year. When news of Max's accident broke earlier, countless people had set their sights on this massive piece of the pie. Logically, Roen Capital should have moved immediately to seize it, but Jeremy had shown no reaction. Naturally, other companies were too afraid to jump in recklessly, fearing a hidden trap. Once the news broke that Max was perfectly fine, those people felt a wave of delayed terror. If they had acted hastily, they would have only faced Max's retaliation. Sure enough, Roen Capital must have known the truth all along.

Sensing that Jeremy's tone was off, Anthony instantly dropped his playful demeanor. "What's going on? What did Max do?"

During the time Max was incapacitated, if Jeremy had wanted to strike, he could have easily gouged a massive chunk of flesh out of BlueMarble Investments. It would have been more than enough to make Max suffer upon his return. Of course, that wasn't Jeremy's style.
