The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 219
A scream cut through the ballroom, sharp and sudden, making everyone freeze.
Max’s face turned ice cold, his presence almost suffocating. Felicia had Andrea by the hair, dragging her across the floor. Andrea flailed, but she was no match for Felicia, whose strength came from years of training. The guests stared, wide-eyed and silent, no one brave enough to interfere.
“Let go of me, you psycho! Max! Max!” Andrea shrieked, her voice echoing off the marble.
Jeremy stepped in, blocking Max before he could move. He met Max’s deadly stare and spoke quietly, “Mr. Hawthorne, this is between them. Let them handle it.”
Max glared, his eyes black and cold enough to chill the whole room. For a moment, it felt like the air itself was too thick to breathe.
“Jeremy,” Max said, his voice low and mocking, “do you really think you can take me on?”
Jeremy didn’t back down. “I guess we’ll find out.”
Andrea’s cries grew louder. Felicia hauled her over to the drink table, grabbed a bottle, and dumped wine all over her, soaking her dress and hair.
Max moved to intervene, but Jeremy wouldn’t let him pass. Max’s fists were clenched so tight his knuckles stood out white.
The tension was about to snap when the event coordinators rushed over, desperate to calm things down. Jim, who only just realized his niece was involved, hurried over, shocked by the chaos. He tried to stop Felicia, and security quickly stepped in to separate the women.
Felicia was shaking with anger, her eyes red, breathing hard as she glared at Andrea, who was drenched and miserable.
Jim helped Andrea up, looking at Felicia with a deep frown, but whatever he wanted to say stayed stuck in his throat.
Max crossed the room, still radiating danger. Andrea clung to him, sobbing, whispering “Max, Max” like a broken record.
Jim looked at Max, startled by how furious he seemed.
Max pulled Andrea into his arms and stared down Felicia, his gaze so cold it felt like winter. Felicia didn’t back away, her hands balled into fists at her sides.
“What a waste of a sixty-thousand-dollar dress,” she said, forcing a laugh.
Jeremy shrugged, “Call it a work hazard. The company will cover it.”
Felicia looked up, a real smile breaking through. “Best boss ever,” she teased.
Jeremy grinned back.
She hesitated, then asked, “Do you regret bringing me tonight?”
She knew Max had never looked so furious before.
Jeremy sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes warm behind his glasses. “Regret? That’s not in my vocabulary. Besides, if I don’t have your back, I’m not much of a good boss, am I?”

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....
