The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 1024

Dannie's expression remained perfectly composed, but her voice dropped to a heavy, accusatory pitch. "Evelynn, I don't believe for a second that you're oblivious to Jeremy's feelings for you. You can't let go of Max, yet refuse to give Jeremy a clear answer, so you just sit back and bask in his devotion. Don't you think you're leading two men on?" By the end of her speech, her tone was downright aggressive.

Felicia met her gaze with icy determination. "For someone who loves meddling in other people's business, you really lack self-awareness. Aside from relying on underhanded tricks, what else are you actually capable of? Oh, right, you're excellent at playing the innocent, kind-hearted angel in front of Jeremy's parents. You might fool them, but you can't fool everyone. Maybe I should have a long chat with Jeremy's sister about all the malicious things you've done in the past."

Dannie's face turned completely cold. A mocking smile tugged at her lips, though her eyes remained dead. "Do you honestly think they wouldn't see right through you? Do you think they'd actually believe your words? In your heart, are they really that stupid? That they would dismiss their own daughter's words in favor of an outsider like you?"

Dannie glared at her, her fists clenched in tight indignation.

"I suggest you abandon whatever twisted schemes you're plotting. You are only humiliating yourself," Felicia said dismissively. Without sparing Dannie another word, she turned and walked toward the door. As she reached for the handle, she paused, glancing back with a sharp warning. "My personal life is none of your concern. You'd do better to learn how to be a decent human being first."

She pulled the door open, only to freeze. Jeremy was standing in the doorway, though she had no idea how long he had been there.

The moment Dannie saw Jeremy, panic washed over her face. She hadn't had time to mask her hostility, and she stared at him with mounting dread.

Jeremy's handsome face was carved from ice. He didn't spare Dannie a single word or glance. Instead, his gaze softened as it landed on Felicia. "Are you done for the day?"

"I still have some work to finish," Felicia replied.

"Alright. Go take care of it."

Felicia nodded and walked past him toward her office.
