The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 165
Felicia looked Darin right in the eyes. “Since that’s the case, I’ll just say it outright.”
Darin nodded, his voice calm and genuine. “Go ahead.”
“There was a post about me on the financial forums today. Slander, basically. You’re busy, Mr. Foxhall, so I doubt you’ve seen it. But I saved it for you.” She handed him her tablet.
Darin took the tablet and scrolled through the post. His face went dark as he read. He honestly hadn’t heard about any of this.
Felicia continued, “The post was anonymous, but I already traced it. It was Davis, the PR manager at Riverline Properties.”
Darin frowned and looked up, his expression tightening.
“I don’t even know Davis. We don’t run in the same circles; we’ve never even interacted. I can’t think of a single reason he’d go out of his way to attack me like this.”
She paused, then added, “And as for the matter with Mr. Hawthorne’s daughter, hardly anyone knows about that. Miss Curtis is one of the few who does.”
“This has done a lot of damage to my reputation.”
She didn’t spell it out, but the meaning hung between them.
Darin set the tablet aside, his jaw tense as he fell silent for a few seconds.
“I need to make a call,” he finally said.
He stepped over to the window, phone in hand, and dialed. The call connected quickly. Felicia listened as he asked someone to get in touch with Davis and bring him over right away. He wasn’t about to take her word for it, not when it involved the sister he cared about.
When Darin hung up, he came back to Felicia. “Evelynn, you probably haven’t had dinner yet. Do you want to have dinner here? We’ll get this sorted out when he arrives.”
Darin passed the tablet to Davis. His voice was low and carried the weight of someone used to being in charge. “Take a look.”
Davis’s heart was pounding. He took the tablet with both hands, and even though he’d kind of expected this, seeing it right in front of Darin made him break out in a cold sweat.
He tried to play it cool, forcing himself to sound confused. “Mr. Foxhall, what’s this about?”
Darin fixed him with a cold, piercing stare. Davis felt like he couldn’t breathe.
“Evelynn says you’re the one who posted it.”
Davis turned to Felicia, denying it flatly. “Miss, I don’t even know you. Why would you accuse me of something like 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....
