The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 650

She opened the envelope.

Inside was an invitation to a birthday banquet.

The Curtis family had sent it.

Felicia’s eyes widened as she looked up at Jeremy. “This is from the Curtis family.”

Jeremy nodded. “Collin Curtis turns eighty tomorrow.”

Roen Capital was working with the Curtis family lately, so getting an invitation wasn’t surprising. But sending one just for her? That was different.

“You don’t have to go if you don’t want to,” Jeremy said.

They chatted a bit about nothing in particular.

The weather was perfect that day—crisp and sunny.

After lunch, Felicia decided to explore the city on her own.

She put on a black coat over a bold blue turtleneck, slipped into some jeans and black leather flats. After curling her long hair and touching up her makeup, she grabbed her bag and headed out.

The second she opened her door, she nearly bumped right into someone—a man standing outside, fist raised, clearly about to knock.

Felicia froze. “You…”
