The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 543
“So Max is after a piece of IronGate Industries too, huh?”
The Curtis family had always dreamed that Andrea would marry Max, thinking an alliance with him would guarantee their future. They had no idea Max was already working behind their backs with Darin, plotting to split up IronGate Industries for themselves. If Mrs. Curtis and Mr. Curtis ever found out, they’d probably lose their minds.
“So the Curtis family still doesn’t have a clue?” Felicia asked.
Jeremy nodded. “Hank’s always suspected Max, but he never found any solid proof. Not that it would matter. Right now, the Curtis family can’t even deal with Darin, much less Max.”
“So if Max hadn’t helped, Darin wouldn’t have bounced back this fast?” Felicia pressed.
Jeremy leaned back, thinking. “Darin grew up completely under the Curtis family’s thumb. No power, no influence, nothing. He met Max when he was studying in the States. They probably struck up a secret partnership back then. If they’re having issues now, it’s definitely not over some minor business squabble. Honestly, there’s almost no way they’d fall out over money or interests.”
Even if they did have a disagreement, neither of them would let it blow up to the point where it hurt their own positions, when the Curtis family was watching Darin’s every move, just waiting for him to slip up so they could pounce.
Could this really be about Andrea?
But that didn’t seem like enough to land Darin in the hospital.
Felicia just got more and more curious.
After work that day, the senior team from Roen Capital all went out for dinner together.
When they were leaving the restaurant, they unexpectedly ran into Trey. Felicia didn’t recognize the guy with him, but Jeremy explained he was from the Brown family.
The Holden family and the Brown family were cousins, more or less. The Brown family wasn’t at the very top of the social ladder in the Capital, but they definitely had a solid spot among the city’s elite.
Jeremy had stopped a deal with the Brown family before. They weren’t happy about it, but they also didn’t want to go up against Jeremy.
Now, Jeremy had eyes on everyone connected to Trey and had people quietly keeping tabs on Trey’s every move. Trying to make business deals in the Capital was nearly impossible for Trey now.
Felicia headed back to Oakridge Estate.
As soon as she stepped into the living room, she noticed there was someone else there. Darin.
Anne was talking to him, laughing so hard she was practically doubled over in his arms, her bright smile lighting up the whole room. The sound of her laughter filled every corner.
Darin steadied her, his affection for Anne written all over his face.
Max was sitting nearby, watching the two of them. When he heard Felicia come in, he turned and gave her a gentle smile. “Hey, you’re home.”
Darin glanced at Felicia too.
Anne jumped up from Darin’s lap and ran straight to Felicia. Felicia’s focus was all on her daughter, so she didn’t notice the complicated look Darin gave her as she walked in.

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....
