The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 1179

Gavin chuckled lightly. "Alright, I will leave it at that. Just remember to review the documents I sent over and get back to me."

With that, he ended the call.

Max set his phone down, rested his hand on his mouse, and opened his email to find the files Gavin had mentioned.

At six o'clock that evening, Max attended a private reception. He arrived early, finding the banquet hall relatively empty. The host, a senior figure in the investment and finance circle, immediately stepped forward to greet him, genuinely surprised that Max had actually accepted the invitation to this intimate gathering.

As they conversed, the host could clearly sense Max's excellent mood. Everyone in their circle knew that BlueMarble Investments had suffered considerable losses due to the recent fallout with the Manning family. Yet, Max appeared entirely unbothered, leaving people wondering what could possibly make him so indifferent to the financial hit.

While Max was chatting with a few acquaintances, he spotted a familiar figure walking through the entrance. It was Luke. He was scanning the room as if searching for someone, but his gaze paused the moment he noticed Max. Excusing himself from the conversation, Max walked over to him.

"Max," Luke greeted quietly.

Max stopped in front of him. "What are you doing here? Who are you looking for?"

"I heard Jeffrey might be attending tonight," Luke replied.

"What do you want to talk to him about?" Max asked.

Luke fell silent for a long moment before finally speaking. "Willa went back to the Manning family."

Max furrowed his brows slightly. "She went back on her own?"
