The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 985

Hearing his question, Mrs. Higgins glanced at Felicia, taking in her obvious desperation to flee. A look of disdain crossed the older woman's face. "The handsome man she commutes with every day, of course."

"And did she explicitly tell you he was her boyfriend?" Max pressed, his handsome face betraying zero emotion. Felicia glared at him, having no idea what game he was playing.

"They practically live together! If they are not dating, what else could they be? They seem very intimate."

Felicia was honestly amazed. It took a special kind of audacity to invent lies right to someone's face.

Max's expression remained dangerously cool. "So, she never actually admitted it to you?"

Mrs. Higgins raised her voice defensively. "Does she need to? Why else would a man and a woman spend all their time together?"

Max stopped questioning her and shifted his cold gaze to Felicia, who stood completely silent, her face pale with anger. Mrs. Higgins looked at Felicia too, clearly waiting for a dramatic showdown. By now, several passing residents had stopped to watch. It was hard not to stare at a man with Max's imposing height and striking looks, though his icy aura kept everyone at a safe distance.

"Cat got your tongue?" Max asked, his voice dripping with venom. "You act so tough with me. But I guess anyone can walk all over you."

Felicia's face hardened at his mocking tone.

Mrs. Higgins was confused. She had fully expected this new man to explode in a jealous rage and interrogate Felicia. She had been nursing a grudge ever since Felicia rejected her son. Just because she was pretty did not mean she was better than everyone else. Her son was a corporate elite, more than good enough for her. Having lived for decades, she felt she knew exactly what was happening. She believed Felicia was cheating on this handsome man, and now the real boyfriend had caught her in the act. She felt vindicated, thinking Felicia was a tramp who had no right to look down on her son.
