The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 170
“Fine. You better show me how capable you really are,” Tatiana said, and hung up without waiting for a reply.
Felicia set her phone down and let out a long breath, her face just as tense. She knew exactly what Tatiana was up to. There would be an investigation, trouble at work, anything to make things difficult for her. Roen Capital didn’t worry her much. The TV station, though, that was a different story. If Tatiana made just one call, her job there could disappear in an instant.
And that was exactly what happened. That evening, her phone rang. It was the station director. He sounded uneasy as he told her her upcoming shows were put on hold. He even asked if she had offended anyone important. There was frustration in his voice. Felicia’s Saturday finance show had been breaking records every week, and he really valued her. But there was nothing he could do against a call like the one he’d just received.
Felicia didn’t seem fazed. “It’s alright. Let’s just pause things for now. I’ll get back to it once I’ve sorted out my other work.”
The director sighed. “Alright. I’ll see if there’s anything I can do to help smooth things over.”
“Thank you.”
The next morning was Friday. By seven, Felicia still hadn’t gotten a call from Anne. She felt a wave of disappointment, but didn’t regret what she had said the day before. If Tatiana ever found out her real identity, she’d do everything she could to keep Anne away from her. Of course she felt bitter about it. But there was nothing she could do now. She forced herself to shake it off, got dressed, and headed out.
She was on her way to Autumnridge today. Ava had already packed her suitcase for her. During breakfast, Colton asked how long the trip would take.
“It depends,” Felicia replied. “If everything goes smoothly, about four or five days.”
Colton nodded, reminding her to take care of herself.
After breakfast, Luke drove her to the office.
Elsewhere, Anne was having her own rough morning. She woke up to call Felicia, only to find her smartwatch wasn’t working. Tatiana tried to persuade her to get breakfast, promising they’d go fix the watch after breakfast. Anne asked to use her phone instead. The watch was broken, but she’d already memorized Felicia’s number.
Tatiana was surprised that Anne had memorized it. She could only make up a lame excuse that her own phone was broken too. Anne then tried the maid, asking for her phone, but of course the maid just shook her head and said her phone was broken as well.
“Anne, Daddy’s on the phone.”
Anne sat up, took the phone, and sniffled, her little voice trembling. “Daddy.”
“Anne, it’s okay. Tell Daddy what happened.” Max’s voice was gentle and warm, so different from usual.
“Grandma won’t let me call Evelynn,” Anne said, her voice small and hurt.
“So you’re mad at Grandma and you don’t want to eat breakfast now?” Max asked softly.
Anne pouted and mumbled, “Grandma lied to me.”

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....
