“Alright.”
Lina set up a time with her.
After hanging up, Luke said, “I’ll go with you tonight.”
Felicia knew exactly what he was worried about. Things had been smooth lately, but it never hurt to stay cautious.
“Okay.”
That afternoon, they headed to a shopping mall. Since they were in town, it only made sense to pick up some gifts before heading home.
Felicia spotted a necklace she thought would be perfect for Ava.
She asked the clerk to wrap it up.
But then, a voice that instantly grated on her nerves rang out. “I want that necklace. The one she picked.”
The clerk froze.
Felicia turned and saw Andrea walk in. Her eyebrows knitted together.
Andrea walked straight over and asked the clerk, “How much for the necklace?”
“Five million,” the clerk said.
Andrea pulled out a black card, and Felicia recognized it instantly. It was the American Express Centurion, the kind of card most people only ever hear rumors about.
Andrea was obviously trying to show off, and Felicia didn’t need to guess whose card it really was. If Andrea had to play these childish games, it only proved how desperate she’d become. Sure, Max had given her the card, and that said something about how much he cared. He couldn’t be there in person, so he just used money to fill the gap.
The clerk’s eyes widened at the sight of the card. Clearly, this was a VIP customer. She turned to Felicia, apologetic. “I’m sorry, miss, but with this card, she gets VIP priority in every shop here.”
Andrea looked Felicia up and down, then glanced at Luke. Her voice dripped with scorn. “Honestly, you have no shame. Last night you were with Gavin, and today you’re with Luke. I guess being ugly all those years made you desperate. Now that your surgery’s finally paid off, you’re really working hard at fooling around with men, aren’t you… Ah!”
Felicia’s hand landed across Andrea’s cheek with a crisp, echoing slap.
Shocked gasps filled the store.
“Looks like you still don’t know your manners.”
Andrea went pale.
Sensing things were getting out of hand, one of the bodyguards pulled out his phone and called Max.
“What’s all this noise about?”
A new voice, even colder, swept through the store.
Felicia looked up and saw Holden coming out of the VIP suite on the upper floor, a stunning girl clinging to his arm.
His voice wasn’t loud, but it carried enough authority to make the whole place go silent.
Felicia frowned.
Just when things had finally been peaceful for a few days, they all had to show up and ruin it right before she was about to leave.
Andrea’s heart skipped a beat. She turned to look at Holden and went completely still, stunned by just how unbelievably attractive he was. He looked like trouble in human form. The kind of dangerously beautiful that made it impossible to look away.

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....
