Felicia’s face was set, her expression unreadable. She took a long breath before saying, “I’ll try calling Anne first.”
Anthony just nodded.
Felicia pulled herself together and dialed Anne’s smartwatch. The call rang and rang, but no one picked up.
Anne must have left it upstairs in her bedroom and didn’t hear it. Felicia didn’t have the nanny’s number, either.
Anthony said, “Max will make sure Anne’s taken care of. If you’re worried, I can go to the Curtis family’s dinner on my own.”
Felicia thought about it for a moment. “I’ll go after the dinner’s over.”
She sent Anne a quick text.
They went to the restaurant for something to eat, but Felicia barely touched her food. She just didn’t have an appetite.
Before the dinner started, Anthony took her to pick out a dress. She chose a white gown with a simple, tailored fit. No fancy details, but it had this quiet, elegant vibe.
The dinner was at a five-star hotel owned by IronGate Industries.
The Curtis family had invited senior execs from their partner companies, but everyone knew Felicia and Anthony were the real stars of the night.
When they arrived at the banquet hall, Jim spotted them right away and hurried over to greet them.
Not long after, Hank showed up with Yvonne on his arm. She wore a dark green evening dress that showed off her figure, and her face was so refined and graceful that everyone in the room turned to look as she walked in.
Yvonne was basically royalty in Northwick’s social circles.
She was chatting with some guests when she caught sight of Felicia standing nearby. Her brow creased for a second, but she quickly smoothed out her expression and looked away.
Hank brought Yvonne over to greet Anthony and Felicia.
Hank sensed the tension and tried to lighten the mood. “Evelynn’s always so humble.”
Felicia just gave a small smile and let it drop.
Hank chatted with Anthony for a bit, then took his wife to mingle with other guests.
Jim came over with a group to introduce them to Anthony and Felicia.
Off to the side, Hank quietly asked his wife, “Did something happen between you and Evelynn?”
Yvonne just let out a soft sigh. “It’s nothing.”
Right then, a stir at the entrance caught everyone’s attention.
Felicia looked over instinctively and saw three people walking in.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max)
Nothing today...
The story starting to feel dragged out. Nothing much is happening anymore and Felicia and Max are getting kinda boring.. it’s just the same cycle over and over again...
I used to like this story but now it draaaaags :( Now it seems like all characters are problematic and toxic (yes, ALL characters). Wish the author will give some warmth/emotion in this story. 700+ chapters and still no highlight, no exciting part, just pure coldness and expressionlessness lol...
Max and felicia really need to figure things out. Either humble max down and get him to respect his wife. Or let felicia be a free woman. Max is so ignorant and egomaniac...
I've reached chapter 104 with a broken heart huhuuhu. This is so heavy, so sad. I know the chapters onwards will be more lighter. Can't wait for the pay back time....
When will this novel get an end It's dragging so much. Just kill max asap. How much should felicia bare. Give her freedom from that max and anne. Anne is so annoying child. I know she wants to patch up her mother and father. But sometimes it's really boring.please finish the novel soon. Everyday we have to check for the chapter updates. For God sake finish it off.
