“Felicia!”
Felicia blinked, snapping out of her thoughts. She turned and saw Anthony climbing out of his car.
Darin was about to walk into the lobby when he heard her name. He paused and glanced back over his shoulder.
Anthony spotted him and leaned in quietly to Felicia. “Let’s go say hi.” It was the polite thing to do, after all.
They walked over together. Anthony reached out first, offering his hand. “Mr. Foxhall, good to see you.”
Darin shook his hand, his tone even. “Good to see you.”
He didn’t look surprised in the slightest. His handsome face was as calm as ever, not giving away a single thought.
They didn’t linger. Just a few polite words and then they each made their way into the lobby.
Felicia and Anthony waited there for someone to take them upstairs. Felicia’s eyes followed Darin as he walked away. “Looks like Darin already knows about Roen Capital working with Jim.”
Anthony nodded. “He’s definitely known for a while. The Curtis family and Darin, neither of them is willing to give an inch. They’re not fighting openly yet, but there’s barely anything left holding them back.”
“All it’ll take is one person to break the tension,” Felicia said, almost to herself.
“Yeah. That’s all it takes.”
A few minutes later, Jim’s assistant appeared. “Sorry to keep you waiting. Please follow me.”
Darin clearly saw this coming. That’s why he grabbed Sunlight Tech first, as the next step toward Greenway. His planning was almost scary. But that’s what you’d expect from someone who could be friends with Max.
Both Darin and Jim were tough opponents. Greenway was just another piece in their chess game. That’s why Greenway couldn’t be bought out, and absolutely couldn’t have any ties to the Curtis family.
Anthony steered the conversation away from artificial intelligence, focusing instead on the other industrial investments. Jim picked up on it and didn’t push.
They talked for more than two hours, finally wrapping things up around four in the afternoon.
Tomorrow, they had plans to visit the Lakeside District and see how the project was coming along.
That evening, Jim invited them to dinner.

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....
