The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 600
So this time, blowing up the Lisbon family's secrets wasn’t just about him acting on a whim. It had all been carefully planned—just moved up a little earlier than expected, making sure the Lisbon family wouldn’t be having a happy holiday.
Brandon walked in right after Max spoke.
Of course he already knew what had happened, and he explained it to Miranda and Tatiana in plain terms. The government was cracking down. The economy needed some fresh faces. It wasn’t fair for the same people to hog all the opportunities without actually contributing to the market.
“If they’re smart, they’ll fully cooperate with the investigation and make up for what they’ve done,” Brandon said. “Then maybe they can keep their footing. Cutting their losses is really the best move here. So, Mom, we can’t get involved. Let them figure it out themselves. You could give them a little warning if you want, but that’s it.”
Miranda and Tatiana exchanged a look. Only now did they see this mess really had nothing to do with Max.
“So it was Darin stepping up for Felicia in the first place?” Tatiana frowned, her voice sharp. This whole thing still had something to do with Felicia.
Max’s tone was calm. “Just leave his business alone, Mom.”
Tatiana’s expression darkened. These days, she found Felicia more and more unbearable. No matter what she did, it made Tatiana’s skin crawl. The idea of Felicia and Max together was enough to keep Tatiana tossing and turning at night.
“She’s definitely got an agenda. I can just feel it.”
Max stayed at the Hawthorne old house for lunch. Afterward, when he was about to leave, Miranda called out to him.
She looked serious as she spoke. “Max, about you and Felicia—I just hope you’ll think things through. Don’t lose yourself in all this. Love is the hardest thing to control, you know.”
Max had always been almost cold in his logic, never getting close to anyone, never showing much feeling about anything. She’d spent years thinking he simply didn’t care.
But when people hold it in for so long, the feelings can finally burst out and take over.
Watching him now with Anne, she realized there was so much more inside him than anyone guessed.
He looked as collected as ever, but Miranda couldn’t help worrying about what she couldn’t see.
“Grandma, don’t worry. I know what I’m doing.”
That seemed to reassure her, so she dropped it.
She didn’t say anything, just listened as his steady, even voice came through the phone. “Something came up and I have to travel for work. Let Anne know, will you?”
Anne had been keeping Max’s calls secret, never letting Felicia in on what they said. However, Felicia could guess what Anne had been trying to pull.
Now that Max hadn’t done what she wanted, Anne was furious.
“I’ll tell her,” Felicia replied quietly.
“How long are you staying in Santa Monica?”
“We’ll be back in the Capital in a few days.”
Max just made a soft sound in response.
Then he hung up.

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....
