Felicia paused for a moment, then said, “That’s okay. I’ve already got somewhere to stay.”
Max didn’t give her any room to argue. “Anne’s going to another city. I can’t let her stay anywhere else. She needs bodyguards and a nanny with her.”
Felicia stared at him, her face growing serious. She didn’t argue back. Instead, she just turned and got in the car.
Anne waved goodbye to her dad.
Tommy drove them off, with the bodyguards’ car following right behind.
At the airport, Anthony, Heather, and Yara were already waiting for them.
Anthony glanced at the bodyguards and nannies trailing behind and grinned. “Is Max worried you’ll kidnap Anne or something?”
Felicia didn’t want to get into it. “Let’s just go.”
Two hours later, their plane landed in Northwick.
Felicia had planned to stay with Heather and the girls. But with the bodyguards and nanny tagging along, she didn’t really have a choice. She had to go to the place Max arranged.
Heather didn’t mind. “It’s fine. If you’re busy during the day, just drop Anne off with me.”
Felicia nodded.
Anthony went straight to the Northwick branch office. “Get Anne settled first, then come over.”
“Okay, will do.”
Felicia and Anne got into Max’s car.
Heather and Yara had some things to do, so they couldn’t take Anne with them just yet.
Crestwood Estates was one of Northwick’s top three luxury neighborhoods. It’s surrounded by hills and rivers, and the scenery was stunning. The Rolls-Royce pulled up to one of the villas, and the butler was already waiting at the door.
Anne had fallen asleep in the car, so Felicia scooped her up and carried her inside. The bedrooms were all ready.
Felicia took Anne upstairs, and when Anne woke up, they had lunch together.
“I have to work this afternoon. Will you stay here and be good?”
Anne nodded sweetly. “I will. I’ll wait for you to come home.”
Once Anne was settled, Felicia left the villa.
They didn’t talk much longer before hanging up.
Right after she ended the call, Anthony called to say she didn’t need to come to the office and should head straight to IronGate Industries instead.
“Okay.”
Half an hour later, Felicia got out of the car.
She looked up at the towering buildings right in the heart of the city. IronGate Industries was even more impressive in person, clearly the top dog in Northwick.
As she walked toward the lobby, a brand-new Rolls-Royce pulled up out front. The door opened and a tall man stepped out, all confidence and quiet power.
“Mr. Foxhall.”
A group of executives bowed respectfully.
He didn’t have to say a word. Just by standing there, he commanded the whole scene.
It was nothing like when she’d met him back in the Capital.
His presence here made it clear just how important he was at IronGate Industries.

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....
