The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 1085

After a brief pause, he answered, "I am quite busy."

Felicia took a deep breath, forcing her voice to steady. "I heard Dannie was appointed as the summit host at the last minute yesterday."

There was a long silence on the other end before Max finally gave a low hum of confirmation.

Gripping the phone tighter, Felicia asked, "So you were the one behind it, right?"

"I arranged it before yesterday," Max replied smoothly, implying that since he had orchestrated it before making his promise to her, he hadn't actually broken his word. "What happened with Jeremy last night has nothing to do with me. Don't try to pin that on me."

Listening to his self-righteous defense, Felicia let out a humorless laugh. "You were the one who gave Dannie the opportunity, and yet you claim you had nothing to do with it?"

"How was I supposed to know she would resort to such underhanded methods?" Max shot back.

The conversation plunged into a heavy silence. Felicia refused to speak.

A sudden wave of frustration hit Max. "Do you really care that much about Jeremy's relationships with other women?"

"Do you have any right to interrogate me, Max?" Felicia demanded.

"Why wouldn't I? Who else are you going to end up with if you don't remarry me?"

"Stop being so full of yourself," Felicia spat. "Why on earth would I get back with you? Didn't I suffer enough before? Do you think I want to go back just to torture myself?"

"Who is asking you to torture yourself?" Max retorted. "I am trying to win you back, cannot you see that? Tell me what you want. I can give you everything."
