The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 192
Felicia jolted awake, heart pounding, still tangled in the remnants of her dream. Her head felt foggy, and her eyes were so puffy they almost hurt. She dabbed on some cream to help with the swelling, then put on makeup, trying to look fresh. The last thing she wanted was her family worrying about her.
She grabbed her phone and called Luke, hoping for an update on Anne. That’s when she finally learned what had happened. Anne had fallen ill at Autumnridge and gone home to recover. Just a couple of days ago, now feeling better, she’d gone with Miranda to a summer villa out of town. Felicia guessed she must have caught something at the hospital.
Max sending Anne away to the villa made everything clear. He was keeping them apart. That was just like him, always knowing exactly how to break someone down. He never had to touch you to hurt you. He could make you suffer in ways that left no marks but cut deep.
“Okay,” Felicia murmured, the words barely leaving her lips.
She sat in her room for a bit, pulling herself together before heading downstairs. By ten, she was at the office, trying to focus on work.
The moment she arrived, Savannah hurried over, eyes lighting up as she spotted Felicia’s new bangs. “Wow, those bangs make you look ten years younger. Seriously, you could pass for a college student.”
Felicia smiled, shaking her head. “You’re way too flattering.”
Savannah grinned and, without missing a beat, started talking about Jett. Now everyone at the company knew he was from BlueMarble Investments. Since Felicia had landed the Westfield Clinical Research deal, all the gossip about her had disappeared. The negative rumors had mostly been Jett’s doing anyway, spread quietly behind the scenes.
Savannah was still furious about it, muttering curses under her breath. Felicia waited for her to finish venting before gently interrupting. “Let it go. He’s finished now. Jeremy already blacklisted him everywhere.”
Savannah switched gears, complaining about a sudden problem with a project in Northwick. Jeremy was there now, trying to handle it. “Max is definitely behind this. That guy is the worst.”
Felicia’s brows knit together. She remembered slapping Andrea a few days ago. Max always meant what he said. And since the issue was in Northwick, there was a good chance Darin was tangled up in it too.
Once Savannah left, Felicia called Jeremy. He picked up almost immediately.
No sooner had she set her phone down than Anthony’s secretary called, asking her to stop by his office. At a recent summit, the financial bureau had set up a state-backed overseas investment project, with BlueMarble Investments and Roen Capital working together. Today, she was supposed to meet with BlueMarble’s team. Anthony wanted her to lead the meeting, but he asked if she was up for it.
Felicia agreed without hesitation. There was no reason to avoid working with BlueMarble Investments.
“Sounds good,” she said.
By two in the afternoon, Felicia found herself in the president’s office at BlueMarble Investments. Isaac came in, holding a report.
“Sir, the results are ready.”
Max reached out, took the envelope, and slid out the paternity test results.

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....
