Felicia spent the whole day putting the finishing touches on her prep for tomorrow’s financial summit.
Luke made sure not to bother her. He just hung out with Greg at the villa, gaming and chatting about work.
Out of nowhere, Greg asked, “Do you know Darin?”
Luke’s fingers froze on the controller. “He’s close with Max. Andrea’s brother, right? You met him five years ago. Why?”
Greg leaned back, thoughtful. “Sunlight Tech got bought by IronGate Industries this year. We were about to sign a deal with Greenway Electrical Services for the GN project, but now Sunlight Tech is trying to get in on it. So, things are up in the air.”
Sunlight Tech used to be an industry leader, way before Greenway made its name. But then their R&D hit a dead end, and some drama at the top sent the company downhill.
This year’s acquisition really shocked everyone in the field.
Greg didn’t see it as a great thing for Sunlight Tech, since IronGate had never touched tech before. But just a month after the buyout, Sunlight Tech got a cash injection, made a big breakthrough, and even stole a project Greenway had been chasing for ages. Now the two companies were eyeing the same new deal.
And Sunlight Tech wasn’t messing around.
Greg heard Darin himself was running their team. Rumor was, IronGate had been a mess lately, with all kinds of power plays and backstabbing at the top. The Sunlight Tech deal was Darin’s first step in grabbing control.
Anyone who was tight with Max wasn’t going to be easy to deal with.
Luke set his controller down, looking at Greg. “Sounds like you’re up against a real challenge this time.”
Greg just grinned. “I’ve weathered a lot worse.”
Still, judging by Felicia’s mood these days, love was probably the last thing on her mind.
Well, some things just needed time.
When Felicia finally finished her work, she joined them for a quick game.
Later, Rose called Luke and insisted he come home to the family house for the night. He couldn’t get out of it, so he didn’t stay for dinner at the Ross place.
Felicia walked him out to the car. She knew he was headed to the estate, so she handed him a pink gift bag.
Luke took it, smiling. “Anne’s going to love this.”

The readers' comments on the novel: The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max)
Is this coming to an end...
Oh nooo!! Don’t tell me Max will get washed ashore on a remote island then loses all his memory, then falls inlove with the local girl who saves him. Then when he meets Felicia again he won’t recognize her and breaks her heart again. Additional plot twist is that Felicia is pregnant with their 2nd child. Please pleaseee don’t give us this scenario.. LOL!!!...
If Max can be forgiven Darrin can be forgiven. And I do not like this marriage business but if it has to happen I hope after he gets stranded on some remote island alone while Felicia and his family fight over custody she wins and also gets half his estate. Then by time he comes back she's found having and remarried. Lol...
The writer is good. They're making me interested in Max. I won't say like yet....
It seems the only one who hasn't suffered is Max. Even his family fakes anger and disappointment all their own doing so they suffer a little. Everyone else has suffered. Luke and Jeremy unrequited. Felicia has suffered the most from family to unrequited to romance to long suffering Mother. Even baby Anne never had a mother til Felicia suffered then came back only to suffer some more. lol...
Oh no what did Colton do?... I have a bone to pick. When Olisha had to go the hospital why beg for Felicia? When she so loved Max? Seemed like she was in on the setup for Felicia to see a suicide for the 2nd time orchestrated by holden and his brother again. I might drop this series it's becoming endless with no real satisfaction for me. I don't need it to end because it's like a soap opera but if things don't end up making sense, tying up loose storylines it's gonna get old fast for me. Good luck author....
Anne, I think your baby brother is on the way. Thank goodness it doesn't say that Felicia is crying just like the last time but still, there's no willingness on her part. Max! You need to try harder. Make her fall in love with you again....
The writer did a big one with Jeremy's speech to Max. He said almost everything that needed to be said. I have wanted Felicia or someone who knows the past to just tell that whole stinking family what they did and how disgusting they are and what they're doing now how unfair it all is to Felicia. A pity it was only Max but he really needed to hear this (plus more)....
I love the chase of this novel, how you’ve build each of the characters. They almost seem like real. I feel like I know them irl. But however I would like to know what’s max’s pov and what’s going on in his head. I truly believe max’s just a grey character. And also please please please update more!!!...
I was really hoping that Max and Felicia would end up together, but why did Max do that to Felicia? 😭 Is that his way of making Felicia overcome the trauma Holden caused her? I don't think that's helping at all. I just hope Max's character has some redeeming qualities in the coming chapters....
