The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 551

Brock grinned. “I’m just saying, your sister’s gorgeous and super talented. What kind of guy could actually be good enough for her?”

Greg didn’t bother to answer.

Once everyone had taken their seats, Jeremy stepped up to the stage for his speech. Roen Capital was such a big deal in the investment world, so of course there were reporters in the audience, cameras flashing.

Felicia also gave a short speech. It was right in the middle of her words that things started to go wrong. The chandelier overhead began to sway, but the clinking sound got lost in the applause.

As Felicia finished and stepped to the side, the chandelier finally gave out. It crashed down without warning.

For a second, the whole room just froze. People stared, eyes wide, not really understanding what was happening.

“Watch out!”

Felicia barely had time to register the shout before someone slammed into her, knocking her to the ground. Her mind went totally blank.

A loud crash echoed through the ballroom. Glass shattered everywhere. Screams broke out as the lights above the stage went dark.

People surged forward, rushing to help. Jeremy had thrown himself over Felicia, trying to protect her, but the chandelier had dropped so fast there was no way to get clear. It landed right on Jeremy’s back.

Felicia heard a heavy, painful grunt right by her ear. Before she could even react, Jeremy managed to ask, his voice rough, “Are you okay?”

Felicia stared at him, her eyes huge with shock. For a moment, she couldn’t say a word. Jeremy’s face was as pale as a sheet.

Anthony and Greg were the first to reach them. They hurried to pull the broken chandelier off Jeremy. “Jeremy! Felicia!”

Jeremy was still lying on top of Felicia, unable to move.

Savannah instantly called for an ambulance.

Twenty minutes later, Jeremy was rushed to the hospital. Felicia went with him to get checked out, too.

Anthony and a few other senior staff stayed behind to handle things. The gala was obviously over. The accident was so serious that the hotel manager looked terrified and did whatever Anthony said without question.

At the hospital, Jeremy was taken straight into emergency care. Felicia’s injuries were mostly just scrapes and a cut on her arm. The doctor cleaned and bandaged her up.
