She stepped out of the private room, heading toward the restroom, but even before she got there, the sound of raised voices stopped her in her tracks. The moment she walked in, she saw Andrea slap Ava hard across the face. Andrea sneered, her voice sharp. “Like mother, like daughter. Both of you are trash.”
Ava held her cheek, stunned. Felicia’s anger exploded. She stormed in, not even hesitating, and slapped Andrea so hard that Andrea staggered backward and almost fell against the sinks.
“Andrea!” Yvonne rushed in right after, eyes going wide as she took in the scene. Felicia quickly reached for Ava, steadying her. When she looked up, she saw a stylish lady hurrying over, with the hotel manager and two security guards right behind her.
The woman darted to Andrea’s side, her face twisted with worry. “Andrea!” She caught sight of the bright red mark on her daughter’s cheek and her expression turned icy with rage. This was the daughter she had spoiled since birth, never even raising her voice to her. Now someone had dared to lay a hand on her.
“Mom, it was her!” Andrea choked out, pointing at Felicia.
Yvonne’s gaze locked onto Felicia and Ava, her eyes cold and furious. “Hold her down.”
The security guards didn’t hesitate. They started to move in on Felicia.
“What do you think you’re doing? Don’t touch my daughter!” Ava stepped in front of Felicia, pushing at the guards’ arms to keep them away.
Felicia grabbed a potted plant from the counter and hurled it at the guards’ feet. The pot shattered with a loud crash, making Yvonne and Andrea jump back in shock. The guards froze.
Felicia snatched up a vase, ready to throw it next. She slammed it down right at Yvonne and Andrea’s feet, glass exploding everywhere.
Andrea screamed, stumbling back in terror. Yvonne pulled her daughter behind her, glaring at Felicia, her chest rising and falling with anger. “You’re insane!” She spun on the guards, shouting, “What are you waiting for? Grab her!”
The guards rushed in. Felicia tried to fight back, reaching for anything else she could throw, but the guards were bigger and stronger. They held her arms tight.
“Let go of me!” Felicia struggled, but couldn’t break free.
Ava ran to help her daughter, only to be shoved and sent sprawling to the floor.
“Mom!” Felicia cried out, panic in her voice.
The three men hurried to meet them.
“Mom,” Felicia whispered.
“Felicia!” Greg’s voice was tight with concern.
Both Felicia and Ava still had clear marks on their faces from being slapped. On Felicia’s cheek, a thin scratch from Yvonne’s ring still bled.
Seeing this, Greg, Jeremy, and Luke all looked grim.
“Let’s get to the car,” Greg said quietly.
Once they were outside, Greg called Colton to let him know they were safe.

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....
