Today was the last day at Roen Capital. Once the annual party wrapped up, everyone would finally be on vacation.
Felicia kept her eyes on her phone. “We’ll talk about it later,” she said.
Max just nodded. “Whatever works for you.”
Lately, he seemed happy to go along with whatever she wanted.
That night, Roen Capital’s annual gala took place at one of the city’s five-star hotels. All the company’s key partners had been invited.
Greg’s company was one of them, so he arrived with Brock.
It was Felicia’s first time meeting Brock. He was a bit shorter than Greg, maybe around five foot nine, with a lean frame. He didn’t have Greg’s striking looks, but among regular guys, he was definitely above average.
His wealth added a certain charm, too, though it was obvious money had pulled him into a lifestyle of parties and late nights.
Standing next to Greg, the difference between them was almost comical.
Felicia smiled at her brother. “Hey, Greg.”
Greg nodded in greeting.
The second Brock laid eyes on Felicia, his whole expression changed. He couldn’t hide the surprise in his eyes. “Greg, Evelynn is your sister? You never mentioned her. You kept this secret pretty well.”
He’d already noticed her earlier when some people were stopping to say hello. Of course, he’d heard about Evelynn before.
He’d seen her on TV, but in person, she was even more breathtaking.
What really shocked him was that she was Greg’s sister.
Greg had once invited Brock over for dinner, but Felicia had still been in college then, so they never crossed paths.
Brock already knew a bit about Greg’s family.
Greg greeted him, and Brock shook Jeremy’s hand, putting on his best business smile. “Mr. Milman, thanks so much for everything this year. I hope we can keep working together and do even better.”
Greg hadn’t mentioned Felicia’s project to Brock yet. In fact, Brock was the reason Greg was still on the fence about it.
Jeremy and Brock chatted for a bit.
“Greg, Brock, your seats are over here,” Jeremy said.
A staff member led Greg and Brock to their table.
Jeremy and Felicia stayed to welcome more guests.
Brock glanced back, his gaze lingering on Jeremy and Felicia. Then he leaned toward Greg. “So, who’s your sister’s husband?”
Greg just looked at him. “Why do you want to know?”

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....
