The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 583

Even though Sydney liked Felicia well enough, they were still basically strangers. She was really only friendly because of old loyalties with Amber.

Seeing Felicia show up with Max today had genuinely caught her off guard. She never would have guessed Max would bring her, and the way Anne acted around Felicia made it hard not to wonder if Max was just doing it for his daughter's sake.

Back when Max was with Andrea, Anne hadn’t accepted her at all. But now, in what seemed like no time at all, Anne was attached to Evelynn.

Max always kept Anne close and protected, so for Evelynn to actually bond with her meant something.

Now, watching Evelynn act so cold toward Max, while Max himself seemed to be paying her more attention than anyone, was something Sydney couldn’t have imagined. She’d never thought any girl could actually have the upper hand with Max.

It felt unreal.

Clearly, Evelynn wasn’t just anyone.

Sydney knew what Carol had pulled earlier, but since nothing serious had happened, she figured it was best to let things go. After all, if it ever came down to choosing sides, Sydney would naturally stick with Carol, not a newcomer like Felicia.

Felicia could feel that, and she understood.

“I just want to talk to her. That’s all,” Felicia said.

Sydney hesitated, then nodded. “Alright. I’ll go get her.”

A few minutes later, Sydney returned with Carol, leading her downstairs into a quiet side room. Carol glanced at Felicia, saw she was fine except for the bandage on her hand, and let out a cold little smirk. “So, what do you want?”

Felicia turned to Sydney. “Sydney, I’d like to talk to her alone.”

Sydney frowned, clearly not thrilled. “Evelynn, just… whatever it is, try to keep things civil, okay? It’s supposed to be a fun day. Let’s not ruin it for everybody else.”

Felicia just gave her a slight smile.

Sydney left, and the room felt colder.

Carol crossed her arms and walked straight up to Felicia, her voice sharp and nasty. “You really are a pro at getting men to fall for you. Tell me, how many did you have to sleep with to get where you are?”

To Carol, a girl with no family name or background only had one way up in the world—by selling herself. Thinking back to Felicia and Darin together on the tennis court only made her more certain. As far as Carol was concerned, Felicia was nothing but trouble.
