Jeremy blinked in surprise. “Then I’ll come with you tomorrow.”
Felicia shook her head. “You don’t need to, Jeremy. Savannah and I will talk with them first.”
This was her job, and there was no reason for Jeremy to step in.
He knew Felicia was stubborn about handling things herself. She always insisted on solving her own problems. Sometimes, he thought she didn’t have to be so tough, but he never forced the issue.
“Alright. If anything happens, call me.”
“I will.”
After they hung up, Jeremy still had his team check on CoreTech’s situation. He’d already gone through the merger plan. If things went smoothly, everything should be wrapped up before the end of the year.
Felicia’s team had beaten Darin’s company, Keystone Solutions, for this project. Now, out of nowhere, CoreTech wanted to back out, even if it meant a loss, and switch to working with Andrea’s company. That only made sense if Darin was offering them a deal so good it actually made up for the loss and then some.
But Darin hadn’t made any such offer, and Jeremy doubted he’d change his mind. As far as he knew, Darin might spoil Andrea, but he never treated business like a joke.
Something about this just felt off.
Jeremy made a call, asking for a closer look at CoreTech.
Meanwhile, Felicia’s phone rang. It was Max.
“Are you still at work?”
“What’s up?” Felicia kept her tone cool.
“Anne’s at Yara’s place,” Max said. “We’re heading over to pick her up now.”
He listened to the empty line, then set his phone down. Just as he was about to put it away, it buzzed again. He looked at the screen, answered, and held the phone to his ear.
Andrea’s voice was bright and excited. “Max, I have great news.”
“What’s the good news?” Max asked.
Andrea couldn’t hide her excitement. “I landed a project today.”
“You’re picking things up fast. What kind of project?”
Her pride came through loud and clear, as if she wanted to prove she was just as good as Felicia.
“A merger,” she said. “Max, will you celebrate with me?”

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....
