If Heather ever found out, she and Trey would just start fighting all over again. Back when they were getting divorced, it was Yara who took it the hardest. There was even one time when she walked in on them arguing and ended up crying so much she fainted. Felicia still got chills just thinking about it. Honestly, Heather had considered giving in so many times, just for their daughter’s sake. Kids are always a mother’s soft spot.
“I know.”
“Did Max tell you about the CoreTech deal?”
Felicia gave a small smile. “You called it, Jeremy. I wanted to say no, but honestly, turning it down feels like losing out.”
“Roen Capital doesn’t need Max’s handouts,” Jeremy said, his tone firm.
Felicia kept quiet about the TC Project for now. She needed to figure that out on her own before looping Jeremy in.
“But we can’t just let Andrea et away with it this time.”
“Darin will always have her back.”
Max’s offer sounded like it had nothing to do with Andrea, but she could see he was just hoping she would drop the issue.
What Felicia didn’t know was that Jeremy had already been in touch with the Curtis family, making it clear they’d need to give him a real answer if they wanted to keep working together.
Felicia stepped out of Jeremy’s office.
A moment later, his phone rang. It was his mom, Shannon. He picked up. “Hey Mom, what’s going on?”
“What’s happening between you and that Evelynn?” Shannon asked, her voice sharp.
Jeremy’s brows drew together. “Why are you asking about that all of a sudden?”
“Her husband called the house. Your father is furious, Jeremy. And from the sound of it, that man isn’t planning to divorce her any time soon.”
“Mr. Milman.” Max sounded like he’d been waiting for this call.
“Do you really think you’re doing the right thing?” Jeremy’s voice was icy.
“I’m just giving you a friendly warning,” Max replied. “You should have higher standards, not chase after another man’s wife. It’s really beneath you.”
Jeremy’s voice was sharp. “That’s rich, coming from you. A man who can’t even be loyal to his own wife, who treats her like she doesn’t matter. Your warnings don’t mean a thing.”
Max gave a low, almost amused laugh. “I’ve said what I need to. Take care of yourself, Mr. Milman.”
He hung up.
Jeremy’s grip on his phone tightened, his eyes cold and unreadable.

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....
