“I heard it from Dannie today,” Felicia said.
“Don’t worry about it,” Jeremy replied. “I’ll handle things on my end.”
Felicia murmured her agreement and didn’t press for more details.
They exchanged a few more words before hanging up.
Savannah scoffed. “Max is being awfully generous these days. What’s next? Are you going to ask for a stake in BlueMarble Investments? I bet he’d give you that, too.”
Felicia stared out the window. Max was the kind of man who would do anything to get what he wanted, and he showed no mercy for the things he despised. He never hid his intentions or regretted his actions. He was a villain, pure and simple, and he made no apologies for it.
By the next day, the news that BlueMarble Investments had voluntarily relinquished its investment share in Heathview was trending on financial news sites.
The development sent ripples through the industry, sparking intense speculation.
BlueMarble Investments and Roen Capital had been fierce rivals for years. Just last year, Max had cost Jeremy’s company billions, only to turn around and hand over the TC Project partnership at the end of the year.
Now he was giving up shares in Heathview. It was completely out of character. Why would he willingly hand money to a competitor?
Could it be that Jeremy had some kind of leverage over Max?
Theories flew wildly within their social circle.
That evening, Felicia was hosting her show when a guest brought up the story. She navigated the topic with a polished, officially scripted response.
But after the show, a photograph was posted on a popular financial forum.
...
The post quickly went viral.
The comments were overwhelmingly focused on Felicia’s supposed social climbing, with the narrative quickly turning against her. People claimed she wasn’t the editor-in-chief of a financial magazine and an investment director at Roen Capital because of her talent, but because she had used her looks to get powerful men to prop her up. Any lone voice of reason was instantly drowned in a tidal wave of online vitriol.
Soon, gossip sites and tabloids began to pick up the story, eager to capitalize on the public’s endless fascination with the scandals of the rich and famous.
They embellished the details, publishing articles with sensational, unverified headlines.
What had started as insider gossip quickly broke into the mainstream, capturing widespread public attention.

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....
