The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 34
Savannah didn’t flinch. “Alright. So how exactly do you want me to pay, Mr. Hawthorne? I’m just a nobody here, so whatever you say goes. Darin’s with you, isn’t he? Why not let him know I hit his sister and settle everything at once?”
Felicia watched Savannah, suddenly painfully aware of her own weakness. Her husband was openly protecting another woman, and she couldn’t even take a single step forward to stand up for herself. Gritting her teeth, she finally moved to stand in front of Max. “Miss Curtis tried to hit first. Savannah was just defending herself.”
Max’s cold stare shifted to Felicia, his voice even colder. “You don’t get to speak here.”
The words hit Felicia like a punch to the chest. Her eyes trembled, and she couldn’t bring herself to look at him anymore.
“Mr. Hawthorne, such a romantic man, aren’t you?” Anthony’s voice cut through the tension.
Jeremy and Anthony walked over, Darin following behind. Earlier, when Savannah had gone back to the private room, she’d quickly filled them in about running into Andrea and Felicia having something for her. Jeremy had waited a while but got worried and went to find them, running into Darin on the phone outside.
Darin saw Andrea wrapped up in Max’s arms and then looked over at Savannah.
“Darin!” Andrea called out, her voice full of grievance.
Darin’s eyes landed on the red mark blooming across Andrea’s face. His brows pulled together.
“So Miss Curtis got slapped? Look at that cheek. Maybe we should rush her to the hospital. What if her face never recovers?” Anthony’s tone sounded urgent, but the mockery was clear as day.
Savannah jumped in. “Yeah, better get a helicopter. If we wait, she might actually heal before we get there.”
Andrea’s face turned even uglier as she listened to their banter.
Savannah glanced at Felicia, then at Andrea, who was still clinging to Max’s side. In that instant, everything clicked. She glared at Andrea with even more open scorn and contempt.
Andrea met Savannah’s eyes and felt a jolt of anger. She never cared about Felicia, never even saw her as competition. But Savannah was different. Savannah was a real threat, and Andrea knew it.
“Mr. Foxhall, Mr. Hawthorne, I’m sorry,” Jeremy said, voice steady and sincere. “Whatever happened, Savannah shouldn’t have hit her. How do you want to handle this? As long as it’s reasonable, we’ll cooperate.”
Darin just stared at Savannah, his face unreadable. “Whoever threw the punch should apologize.”
Jeremy looked at Savannah. “Apologize to Miss Curtis.”
Savannah stared right back at Darin, let out a short, bitter laugh, and shook her head. Apologize? She’d rather take a slap herself. “Might as well just hit me yourself, Mr. Foxhall.”

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....
