“Greg’s busy these days. Honestly, it’s better than her hanging around the house with nothing to do. I’ll be discharged in a couple of days, and if she’s here, I won’t get a moment’s peace.”
Shannon smiled. “You talk about your sister like she’s still a kid.”
She didn’t look the least bit surprised at the mention of Greg. Clearly, she’d heard something already.
Jeremy shrugged. “To me, she’s no different from Yara.”
Shannon laughed. “Then you’d better be ready to take care of her for the rest of your life.”
Jeremy smirked. “Even if I wanted to, I doubt she’d let me.”
Felicia listened quietly as they bantered. With Shannon as their mother, it was no wonder Jeremy and Heather seemed so happy.
“Oh, Felicia, by the way…”
Felicia blinked, coming back to the moment. “Yeah?”
Jeremy said, “I’ve got an overseas document that needs your input. I’ll send it to your email later.”
Felicia nodded. “Sure, just send it over.”
Shannon was still savoring her meal, smiling with every bite. “This is wonderful.”
“I’m glad you like it. You’re always welcome at our place for dinner, whenever you feel like it.”
Shannon’s eyes lit up. “I’d love that.”
After everyone finished eating, Felicia started gathering up the thermal containers. Shannon insisted on washing them first, and Felicia didn’t argue.
Shannon disappeared into the bathroom with the containers.
Felicia turned to Jeremy, lowering her voice. “Did Mr. Murray find anything?”
Jeremy nodded. “It’s Jett. He’s right at the center of this.”
Felicia’s eyes widened. “Jett?”
Felicia tried to steady herself. “Someone in the admin department must have been in on it.”
Whoever was behind this had wanted death. It was ruthless. Without help from the inside, there’s no way they’d know the gala schedule.
Jeremy’s expression turned serious. “Anthony already found the person. We’ll be cleaning house soon.”
Felicia pressed, “But who’s pulling the strings?”
Before Jeremy could answer, Shannon came out of the bathroom, and the conversation stopped.
Felicia stuck around the hospital a little while longer, then said her goodbyes and left.
In the car, her phone buzzed with a message from Jeremy.
She unlocked it and read, “Go have fun with Heather. Don’t worry about anything else.”
Felicia smiled, typed back, “Okay,” and put her phone away.

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....
