The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 127
Max looked away. “Kennedy’s lack of judgment is his problem. But honestly, a girl who hangs on your every word isn’t exactly someone worth chasing after.” The words hung in the air. Felicia’s face went cold in an instant. He wasn’t just taking shots at her. He was dragging Anthony into it too.
When Anthony squared up to Max, he didn’t flinch, but it was obvious Max’s presence just overwhelmed everything. “Of course. Miss Curtis is the only good girl in your eyes.”
“Anthony, you don’t have the right to judge me,” Max replied.
Anthony’s eyes went dark, his fists clenching tighter in his pockets. The tension was thick. Jeremy looked like he was about to step in, but Felicia stood up and moved closer to Max.
“I’d really like to know what I did to offend you, Mr. Hawthorne,” she said. “If you’re upset because I hurt your friend the other day, you can take it out on me if you want. But I’m not going to stand here and take your pointless insults. If you don’t know the meaning of respect, maybe I should just call you a rude, arrogant man who’s only good for his looks.”
Max stared her down, a cold smile pulling at his lips. “If you want my respect, you need to earn it.”
Felicia felt her chest tighten. She could barely breathe.
“Don’t you think you’re being a bit much, Mr. Hawthorne?” Jeremy finally said, his tone serious.
Max glanced at him, didn’t bother to answer, and turned away. Without another word, he walked off. Kennedy shot Felicia an apologetic look before following after Max.
Felicia just stared after them and let out a bitter laugh. Why did she fall for a man like that? For so many years, too. The thought just made her angrier.
Later that night, Felicia returned to the hotel. Any hint of a good mood had vanished thanks to Max. She couldn’t even concentrate on her work. After a shower, she sat at the bar, sipping red wine and staring out at the city lights. She finally checked her phone and saw a message from her lawyer Cameron.
She’d been so swamped lately she hadn’t even looked at her messages. Cameron had already prepared the lawsuit papers and sent them over for her to check. Felicia read through them, then replied, Go ahead and file it.
All she wanted was to finally cut all ties with him.
The next couple of days flew by with work. Felicia checked articles, sent in her own piece for the weekly journal, and got ready for Saturday night’s live financial news broadcast at eight.
Felicia was used to this kind of workload. Honestly, it didn’t even faze her.

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....
