The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 487
Felicia suddenly remembered something and started looking for her phone, but it was nowhere to be found. With no other choice, she grabbed Anne’s smartwatch and called Jeremy.
The call connected almost immediately.
“Hello, who’s this?”
“Jeremy, it’s me.”
“Felicia,” Jeremy said, sounding relieved. “You’re awake. How do you feel?”
“I’m okay, thanks. But my phone is missing,” she said, trying to keep her voice steady.
Her phone had a lot of sensitive Roen Capital files on it. The thought made her uneasy.
“Yours, Savannah’s, and Mason’s phones were all taken,” Jeremy told her. “I’ve already had someone wipe all the data remotely.”
He didn’t mention that some files had already been downloaded. He didn’t want her to stress over it.
Felicia finally breathed a little easier. So it wasn’t just about her. Whoever did this wanted Roen Capital’s secrets.
“Are you at the hospital now?”
“No, I’m at Anne’s place,” Felicia replied.
When Anne had arrived at the hospital, Jeremy hadn’t stayed long. He left to handle the phone situation. After Felicia’s IV was finished, she had been out cold for hours. Once the doctors were sure she was stable, Max took her and Anne back to the villa. They’d only just gotten home when Felicia woke up.
Jeremy seemed to get it. “Alright, get some rest. You don’t have to worry about any of this. I’ll look into everything.”
“Okay,” Felicia agreed.
“Oh, and about the CoreTech merger… Roen Capital doesn’t need it.”
The contract was still with Max. Jeremy guessed Max was planning to use it as leverage. He knew Felicia’s style. She was tough on her team but always looked out for their interests. Because of that, her team trusted her completely.
Her determination to negotiate with CoreTech wasn’t just for herself. She cared about the company and everyone who worked there. She’d probably be willing to compromise for them.
“Actually, Roen Capital is working on another partnership right now,” Jeremy added. “If it goes through, it could cover whatever we lose from CoreTech.”
“I’m not interested in the CoreTech deal either,” Max said.
Felicia tightened her grip on the contract, a faint, sarcastic smile appearing on her lips. “Andrea went through a lot of trouble to get this, you know.”
Max glanced up at her. “What’s yours is yours.”
Felicia listened, trying to read his tone, but he was impossible to figure out. She wasn’t naive enough to think he was just handing the contract back out of kindness. If he was giving it up, there had to be a reason.
“So what do you want?” she asked.
If she hadn’t called Jeremy, she might have actually considered giving in. Now, she was more curious than ever about what Max expected from her.
Max could see right through her suspicion and hesitation. “What if I said I don’t want anything?”
“You? Acting like a saint?” Felicia raised an eyebrow.
Max let out a low laugh. “If you really want me to ask for something, then just stay here for a few days. Anne won’t have to keep running back and forth.”

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....
