The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 511

His tone was so gentle, like he was talking to someone he truly cared about.

Felicia didn’t say a word.

It was just a small moment. Soon, everyone from all three sides took their seats.

The meeting dragged on for more than two hours.

Even though BlueMarble Investments and Roen Capital were normally rivals, both teams were enthusiastic about this partnership. So far, everything was moving along smoothly.

That night, everyone met up for dinner.

They stepped into a private dining room at the restaurant, with a table big enough for sixteen. People started finding their seats.

Jeremy pulled out the chair next to him for Felicia, and she sat down quietly.

As Jeremy was about to sit, Max walked up and stopped in front of him. “Mr. Milman, can we switch seats?”

Felicia frowned at Max. Did he not realize this was a public setting? He really did know how to push boundaries.

Jeremy didn’t hesitate. “Sorry, I can’t do that.”

The people nearby exchanged glances. It was obvious now. Max and Evelynn had some kind of connection. No one was surprised he was interested in her. Evelynn was smart and beautiful, so it was only natural for men to be drawn to her.

No wonder Max had been so polite toward Roen Capital during the meeting. Still, Evelynn was Jeremy’s right-hand woman. It made everyone curious about how the rivalry between Max and Jeremy would play out in the future.

Max didn’t seem bothered by Jeremy’s answer.

Jeremy sat in his own seat. Max went around to the other side of Felicia, aiming for a spot that was technically reserved for Jeremy’s assistant.

The assistant looked a little flustered but didn’t protest. He probably didn’t feel he could refuse Max as bluntly as Jeremy had.

Everyone’s attention was on Max now. Felicia turned to him and shot him a warning look, silently telling him to behave himself.
