Ava hesitated for a second, then decided to call Greg.
If Wilfred could show up at their villa, he definitely knew where Greg’s company was. She had to warn him to be careful.
Greg was caught off guard when he saw his mom calling. He answered, surprised.
“Mom, don’t worry. I’ll handle it. Just to be safe, have Dean go with you whenever you leave the house, alright?”
“I will. And about your uncle… It’s obvious someone’s trying to get at me, whether it’s through Wilfred or Edmund’s side of things.”
Greg frowned. “Who do you think it is?”
Ava let out a long breath. “I can’t think of anyone but Mrs. Curtis.”
She was just a housewife. Her social circle was small. Who else could she have offended? It had to be Yvonne, getting back at her for that humiliation.
“Why would she come after you? Did you ever have any real connection with her?”
Ava finally told Greg the truth. “She’s Colton’s ex-wife. Felicia’s birth mother.”
Greg froze. For a second, he couldn’t even move.
Suddenly, he thought of Darin.
He knew a bit about the mess inside IronGate Industries and that Darin wasn’t really part of the Curtis family by blood. He was Mrs. Curtis’ son from before she married in.
He also remembered that when Colton and his ex-wife split, she took their son—Felicia’s brother—with her, while Felicia stayed with Colton. He’d always known that.
Now, everything made sense.
Darin was Felicia’s brother.
He thought back to five years ago, when Riverline Properties took over Colton’s company. The buyer turned out to be Colton’s own son, and that whole ordeal had almost ruined Colton’s business.
Now, his half-sister Andrea was getting involved in Felicia’s marriage. Darin was just standing by while Max embarrassed Felicia over and over.
It all felt so bitterly ironic.
And now, that same mother was the one causing her so much pain.
After hanging up, Greg sat in his chair for a while, trying to calm down.
Then he picked up his phone and dialed Felicia.
She picked up after a few rings.
“Hey, Greg, what’s up?” Her voice was quick, like she was in the middle of something.
“Are you busy at work?” he asked. He’d gone to the office early that morning and missed breakfast, so he had no idea what she was up to.
“Yeah, I’m in a meeting,” Felicia replied.
“Sorry to bother you. I’ll let you get back to it.”
“No worries. I’ll call you later, okay?”

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....
