The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 643
Seeing Darin walk into the event didn’t catch anyone off guard. As soon as he arrived, a crowd formed to welcome him. The Lisbon family incident had really put his skill and determination on full display for everyone to see.
After greeting a few people, Darin scanned the room and quickly spotted Jeremy and Felicia. He made his way over, pausing first to shake hands with a few BlueMarble Investments executives. Then he turned to Jeremy and Felicia.
“Mr. Milman. Evelynn.”
Jeremy shook his hand. “Mr. Foxhall.”
It was clear the two had something to talk about.
Sensing this, the BlueMarble team politely excused themselves and wandered off. As they walked away, one of them glanced back with a hint of confusion.
“Why do Darin and Jeremy look so close all of a sudden?”
Everyone knew Darin’s history with Mr. Hawthorne. Getting so friendly with someone from Roen Capital just didn’t add up.
“I don’t know, maybe it’s just small talk.”
The event ran until about five thirty and, by the time it wrapped up, everyone agreed it was a success. The highlight for most people was Darin’s sharp, captivating speech.
No matter what anyone thought of him personally, there was no denying his business talent. Felicia admired that about him. During their interview, they’d kept things professional, and the whole conversation went by smoothly.
When everything ended, Colt found Felicia for a quick chat.
“Evelynn, do you know Mr. Foxhall outside of work or something?”
Felicia looked at him, puzzled. “Why do you ask?”
Colt didn’t hesitate. “The way he talks to you is different. He’s so much more polite than he was last year. Back then, when you interviewed him, it was like a totally different person.”
Last year, Felicia had embarrassed both Darin and Max in public, picking a fight with two of the biggest names in the industry. Even with Jeremy backing her up, that usually wouldn’t be enough. Anyone else would’ve been frozen out of the business. Yet somehow, Darin’s attitude had only grown warmer.
Colt couldn’t help but wonder if Evelynn had another side to her, something powerful no one else knew.
Felicia just smiled. “Now that you mention it, I’m curious myself.”
She sounded genuine, not like she was hiding anything.
Once she finished fixing up her heel, Jeremy sat beside her, waiting for the delivery.
It wasn’t long before Darin approached. His eyes flicked down and landed on her bandaged foot.
“You hurt your foot, Evelynn.”
Felicia waved it off. “It’s just a little scrape.”
Darin nodded, letting it drop, and the three fell into a comfortable silence.
Not far away, Dannie watched quietly.
It was obvious to everyone today. With Darin and Jeremy both looking out for Felicia, wherever she was, they weren’t far behind. That kind of attention drew others too. People were quick to introduce themselves and chat. For a woman to stand out, to earn that kind of respect in a room dominated by men, it was no small feat.
Suddenly, something changed in the atmosphere. A quiet stir swept through the ballroom.
Max had arrived, and the second people noticed, they hurried over to greet him.

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....
