The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 168
“I think we can take his offer,” Jeremy said, his tone thoughtful. “Someday, we might need Darin’s help. But it’s your call.”
Felicia scooped up some rice, chewing in silence. She knew exactly what was going on. Andrea wasn’t just shielded by Darin, she had Max on her side too. If Felicia tried to force Andrea to pay for what she’d done, she’d probably just end up with nothing. The so-called apology would end up pinning the blame on someone else, anyway.
She ate most of her food before finally setting her fork down. “Alright, then. Ask for twenty million in compensation. Have Darin wire it straight to Max, and make sure he includes a note. Tell him it’s for his coffin.”
Jeremy didn’t need more explanation. “I’ll let him know.”
After dinner, Felicia drove home. She pulled into West Hill Residence and found Luke waiting.
“You’re back,” Luke greeted.
Felicia nodded and glanced at Greg. “Where are Mom and Dad?”
“They took Sean out for a walk,” Greg replied.
Felicia dropped onto the sofa. “They don’t know about all this, right?”
Greg shook his head. “No, we didn’t say anything.”
“Did you meet with Andrea today?” Luke asked.
Felicia gave them a quick rundown of what had happened.
Luke’s face darkened. “Max should really know what Andrea’s like.”
Felicia let out a cold sneer. “Max probably knows better than anyone. When you love someone, you just do, no matter how awful they are. Their morals don’t matter. Sometimes you even help them get away with things.”
Greg looked troubled. “So that’s it? We’re just letting it drop?”
Darin went on, “The woman who threw coffee on you... that was Evelynn too, right? She really seems to have it out for you. What did you do to her? And why does she owe you twenty million?”
Max shot back, “Shouldn’t you be asking what she did to me?”
Darin laughed quietly. “I’ve never seen you bother this much about a girl before.”
They chatted for a while, then hung up.
Afterwards, Max video-called Anne. She was having breakfast, chattering away. He’d actually planned to bring her with him on this trip—the work wasn’t too intense, and he’d wanted to take her to the beach. But Anne had decided to stay behind this time.
Anne told him about her chat with Evelynn the day before. She was all smiles. “Anne doesn’t like apples or celery. Evelynn doesn’t like them either.”
Tatiana, sitting nearby, heard everything. Her dislike for Evelynn grew even stronger. She was sure Evelynn was just pretending, saying whatever she needed to in order to win Anne over. Clearly, her warning from before had been ignored.

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....
