The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 325
It was one of those invitations you just couldn’t turn down, so Anthony agreed. Jim walked them out himself, all the way to the lobby.
Upstairs, in Darin’s office, his assistant knocked and walked in. “Mr. Foxhall, Mr. Murray from Roen Capital and his colleague just left.”
Darin handed over a signed document, his expression unreadable. “They were here a while. Any updates from Sunlight Tech?”
“Just got off the phone,” the assistant replied. “Mr. Ross isn’t acknowledging the contract Brock signed. They haven’t reached an agreement.”
“Greg must have caught onto something. We can’t afford to lose the Greenway partnership. Make sure Sunlight Tech knows exactly where we stand.”
His words were sharp and final. The assistant nodded. “Yes, sir.” He took the file and headed out.
A moment later, Darin’s phone buzzed. He glanced at the screen, then set his pen aside and leaned back in his chair before answering. “Max, what’s going on?”
“How did things go?” Max asked.
Darin knew exactly what he meant. Max’s sudden move against Silva Capital was mostly to keep Jeremy distracted.
“We’ve reached a strategic partnership, so the contract was inevitable,” Darin said. “But of course, we can’t let their side have it too easy.”
Max made a sound of agreement.
“Your wife was in that meeting today.”
“I know,” Max replied. “She’s in Northwick with Anne, right?”
Darin hesitated for a beat. “Aren’t you worried she’ll fight you for Anne while you’re in court?”
Max laughed quietly. “Do you really think she’d win?”
Darin was silent for a moment, then decided to drop the topic.
Felicia nodded, taking a deep breath, letting his words sink in.
Just then, her phone rang. It was Heather. She’d finished her work and wanted the address so she could bring Yara over to keep Anne company. Felicia told her where she was staying.
“We’ll head over now,” Heather promised.
By seven, Felicia and Anthony arrived at the restaurant for dinner. They made their way through the hotel, chatting as they walked. Felicia, a little distracted, stepped on something hard. She heard a sharp crack under her shoe. She stopped and moved her foot, spotting a broken pocket watch on the floor. She bent down to pick it up.
“Did someone drop their watch?” Anthony wondered, just as someone strode toward them.
Felicia was about to open the watch to check the damage when she saw who it was.
Darin stopped in front of her, his eyes going straight to the pocket watch in her hand. The hinge was shattered. He frowned, just slightly, as he took it in.

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....
