The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 1122

Jeffrey meets Jeremy's dark gaze through his glasses. "Mr. Milman, there is no need for such hostility. We are not enemies. I have arranged for dedicated staff to care for Felicia, so she won't be in any danger. Max took my person, and I took Felicia. It is only fair, wouldn't you agree?"

Jeremy frowns slightly. "I do not care about the feud between you two, but you had better ensure Felicia remains completely unharmed."

Jeffrey smiles faintly. "Such profound devotion truly shouldn't go unrewarded. If you don't trust me, you are welcome to care for her yourself. After all, she is pregnant, and I certainly don't want to see anything happen to her. That wouldn't benefit me at all. However, it seems Max is entirely unaware of the baby. The fact that she kept it a secret from him proves she doesn't actually want to be with him."

Jeremy remains silent, his expression heavy and grim.

After receiving a call from Manning Manor, Jeffrey leaves the Fallen Maple. Jeremy sits alone in the private room. He picks up his glass and takes a slow sip. As he lowers his head, a shadow falls over his eyes, masking his true thoughts.

At Manning Manor, the sprawling estate is cloaked in a deathly, quiet stillness under the night sky. Only the main house remains brightly lit. Clarence, the eighty-year-old retired patriarch, resides here. He originally had two sons and one daughter.

His eldest son, which was Jeffrey and Ivy's father, passed away in a tragic accident with his wife years ago.

His second son contracted a severe illness in his youth that left him infertile. His wife stayed by his side, and they adopted a boy from a branch family. However, as the boy grew older, he began coveting the family's inheritance. Driven by ruthless ambition, he conspired with his biological parents to seize power from Jeffrey. In the end, Jeffrey crushed the rebellion and sent the boy straight to prison. The ordeal devastated the couple, who subsequently withdrew from all internal family affairs.

Clarence's youngest daughter married and moved abroad with her husband's family.
