The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 287
Felicia gave her assistant a few quick instructions, then she and Luke took the elevator down and walked out of the building together.
“Is something wrong with the divorce?” Luke asked quietly. He had overheard Jeremy’s call earlier and couldn’t hide his concern.
Felicia shook her head. “We’ll only know once we get there.”
A heavy sense of dread settled in her chest. She tried to push it down, but it lingered, cold and persistent.
Half an hour later, Luke parked outside the office. They got out and headed straight inside, making their way to Sam’s office.
“Jeremy, Sam,” Felicia greeted as they entered.
Jeremy glanced at Luke, giving him a small nod. Luke nodded back, both men sharing a silent understanding.
“Come, have a seat,” Sam said.
Felicia sat on the sofa, leaning forward. “What’s happened?”
Jeremy handed her a thick file, all in English. “Look at this first.”
Felicia took the file and flipped through it, her eyes moving quickly over the pages. It was a detailed breakdown of Horizon Peak Energy’s ownership structure.
Jeremy started to explain. “The company that just acquired Horizon Peak Energy is Goldin Asset Management. Max is the legal representative.”
The words hit her like a punch. Felicia’s eyes widened in shock. “What?”
It felt like her world stopped spinning. Max. How could it be him? That meant he was now the largest shareholder of Northstar Dynamics too.
Jeremy’s voice was calm but firm. “So, your divorce just got a lot more complicated.”
Felicia’s hands tightened around the file. Her face grew paler, her jaw set in frustration.
Sam spoke up. “Now this involves all your shared assets. If he files any claims, things could drag on for a long time. So far, there’s been nothing from his lawyers, but we’ll probably hear something by tomorrow.”
Luke looked tense. “He didn’t just decide to buy Horizon Peak Energy out of nowhere.”
Jeremy nodded. “This has been planned for almost a year. Horizon Peak tried to resist, but the Felix family helped Max pull it off. That’s probably why he was overseas recently.”
“Take me to Oakridge Estate.”
Luke glanced at her. “You’re going to talk to him?”
Felicia nodded. She didn’t know what she’d say, or if it would change anything, but she needed to let it out. She couldn’t keep it bottled up any longer.
Luke saw she’d made up her mind, so he drove her to the villa without another word.
The drive was quiet, the breeze from the window helping her think. By the time they pulled up, Felicia felt a little steadier.
“Luke, I’ll be alright. You can head home,” she said softly.
He hesitated, worry clear on his face. “Call me if you need anything. Seriously.”
She managed a tired smile. “I will. Don’t worry about me.”
Felicia punched in the code and slipped inside the villa, the heavy door closing behind her.

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....
