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)
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. How many more chapters are there . You could have make the novel short and sweet. I wish if it was in theatre we could have finish it soon....
