“I’m not accepting your apology, Mr. Foxhall. Whoever did this should be the one to face the consequences.”
“I’ll take my leave now.”
Without another word, Felicia grabbed her things, turned, and walked out of the room without looking back.
Darin watched her leave, his eyes fixed on her until she disappeared from the living room. The irritation buzzing inside him only grew stronger.
Davis glanced at Darin’s tense face, feeling completely lost.
“M...Mr. Foxhall?”
“Get lost.”
Davis nodded quickly and hurried away.
After a while, Darin finally calmed down and called Jeremy. Once the call ended, the housekeeper came in with a cup of calming tea.
“She looks a bit like Miss Curtis,” the housekeeper commented.
Darin took a sip of tea.
“She does.”
Felicia drove away from the villa. The way things turned out was exactly what she expected.
As she merged onto the main road, her car’s hands-free system rang. When she saw who was calling, her mood instantly lifted. She answered, and Anne’s cheerful voice came through.
“Evelynn, are you done with work?”
Felicia had already told Anne her work schedule.
“Yeah, I just finished. What about you, Anne? What are you up to?”
“I learned a new song today. Can I play it for you?”
Felicia paused for a second. So Anne hadn’t gone out of town on the business trip after all. Relief washed over her. She didn’t care about Andrea and Max’s time together, but the thought of Anne tagging along with Andrea made her uneasy.
“Of course, I’d love to hear it!”
“Sure.”
Felicia headed to the office and found Jeremy in his office.
“Mr. Milman.” At work, she always kept things formal.
“You haven’t had dinner yet, have you?” Jeremy asked. “I had some food sent up for you. Eat up.”
Felicia nodded, sat down, and took a sip of the hot soup. Jeremy sat across from her, watching her quietly for a few moments.
“So what did Darin say?” he asked.
“He said he’ll have a public apology posted online, pay compensation, and he owes me a favor. If I ever need something from him, he won’t turn me down.”
A favor from someone like Darin was no small thing.
Felicia’s lips curled into a cool smile.
“I have to admit, Andrea is pretty lucky.”

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....
