The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 482
He set his phone down. For a couple of seconds, he stood there in silence, his face serious. Then he turned to the CoreTech team, and the intensity in his eyes made everyone freeze.
“Mr. Hawthorne, is something wrong?” someone asked, their voice hesitant.
Max didn’t answer. He was focused on the assistant standing behind Mr. Torres. The second Max looked his way, the assistant’s eyes dropped, guilt written all over his face. Max noticed it immediately.
He strode over and stopped right in front of him, his voice quiet but threatening. “Did you send Roen Capital the location?”
The assistant’s job was to handle all the details about the meeting spot. Now he looked like he might collapse, his face drained of color. He couldn’t bring himself to look at Max, and his words came out shaky. “Y... yes.”
Max’s eyes narrowed. “Where are they now?”
Mr. Torres finally figured it out. No wonder their contacts had never shown up. His expression darkened as he glared at his assistant.
On his way to the hotel across the street, Max’s phone rang. It was Andrea. He didn’t pick up. She sent a message instead: Max, my head is killing me all of a sudden.
He still didn’t reply.
Andrea had just found out her brother moved the deal to BlueMarble Investments. No one had told her anything. She didn’t know what Max was planning and the thought of what it might mean sent her running to BlueMarble to find him, but he wasn’t there. His secretary just shrugged and said, “No idea, I heard he went to meet someone from CoreTech.”
A cold panic settled in Andrea’s chest. Max wasn’t answering her calls or texts. That only made her more scared. She grabbed her phone and called Trey.

Crash!
Felicia was left in nothing but a thin knit dress clinging to every curve. Her hair was spread out on the pillow, her fists clenched tight, tears streaming down her face. The veins in her neck stood out as she tried to hold herself together.
Max knelt beside her, leaning close. He wiped a tear from her cheek, his voice low and soothing. “You’ll feel better soon.”
Someone quietly closed the door.
Max took off his jacket, loosened his tie, and slipped off his watch. He reached for her dress, but Felicia jerked away from his touch. “No. Don’t.”
He held her gently but firmly. “We’re married. This is what couples do.” His words were soft, almost comforting, but they left no room for argument.
Felicia stared up at him, fear in her eyes, her last bit of strength slipping away. Her voice cracked as she pleaded, “Max, please. I’m begging you. Don’t touch me. Take me to a hospital.”

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....
