The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 1132

Dannie stepped forward and stopped in front of the desk. Looking at Max, she called out, "Mr. Hawthorne."

Max raised his eyes to look at her. "What brings you here?"

Dannie replied, "First, I came today to thank you, Mr. Hawthorne. Second, I have something to tell you. Something you do not know yet."

After the previous internet scandal, Jeremy was going to sue her, which would have dragged the Lowe family projects down with it. Max had someone step in and handle the matter for her. She had decided to leave the country for good today. She paused for a moment before continuing, "Felicia is pregnant."

Max widened his eyes in shock. His handsome face tensed, and his voice seemed coated in a layer of frost. "How do you know?"

Seeing Max react this way, Dannie realized Felicia still had not confessed this to him. This meant the child in her belly might not even be his. A wave of disdain washed over Dannie. She secretly exhaled and answered truthfully, "Back in Cloudville, I accidentally ran into her at the hospital. I overheard a conversation between her and a nurse, so I know she is pregnant. She should not be very far along, so I do not know exactly when she got pregnant."

Max stared with dark eyes that made it impossible to read his thoughts. "Leave."

Hearing Max speak so coldly, Dannie wanted to say more but did not dare. She nodded and said, "Thank you for your help, Mr. Hawthorne. I hope everything goes smoothly for you in the future."

After speaking, Dannie turned and left the office. Max leaned back in his chair. His breathing became exceptionally heavy, and his dark eyes were as still as a bottomless freezing pool.

Meanwhile, at a mountain retreat in a neighboring city, the only road up the mountain was heavily guarded. No outside vehicles were allowed to enter. A black sedan slowly drove up and was stopped. The car window rolled down, revealing Ivy sitting in the back seat. The security guard did not recognize her. Before he could speak, Ivy said directly, "Call your person in charge. I will speak to him."

The security guard was taken aback by her confidence. "Miss, no outsiders are allowed here."

Ivy replied, "Am I, the daughter of the Manning family, considered an outsider now?"
