After a long day, Felicia had just gotten home when she received a frantic call from the PR manager at Roen Capital.
That was the first she’d heard of it. She quickly opened her phone, went online, and pulled up the most popular forums. One glance was all it took. Five of the top ten trending posts were about her, each one racking up an astonishing number of replies and views.
Several photos had already been leaked.
One, in particular, was from the event the other day. Max was kneeling on one knee before her, his large hand holding her ankle firmly as he looked at her with focused intensity.
Jeremy was sitting beside her, his gaze resting on her with gentle warmth.
Darin stood a short distance away, his eyes locked on her, his expression a complicated mix of emotions.
The sight of three men from the absolute pinnacle of society all revolving around one woman was bound to set people's imaginations running wild.
It could only prove that she relied on more than just her beauty; she must possess a level of cunning far beyond that of an ordinary person.
At the same time, someone leaked the news that the Lisbon family’s recent devastating losses, which came after a high-level investigation, were directly connected to her.
When that piece of information dropped, the internet exploded all over again.
Everyone was wondering what kind of incredible power Evelynn wielded to make three men with genius-level intellects and control over vast fortunes willingly orbit her, ready to go to war for her beauty, even at the expense of their own massive interests.
The comments were a tidal wave of judgment. They brought up every old scandal from the financial world: the two men who publicly brawled over a woman, crashing their company's stock; the twenty-something who successfully married a fifty-year-old director; the mistress who publicly taunted the wife for being unable to bear a son...
But now, it seemed those women weren't even worthy of carrying Evelynn's shoes.
People were calling this the new definition of a top-tier player.
Someone even called her a public commodity with a diamond price tag.
One vile comment followed another. Felicia stared at the screen, her face slowly darkening. The hand holding her phone trembled uncontrollably, her knuckles turning white.
In the end, Felicia simply turned her phone off.
Anne, who had been sound asleep, seemed to sense something. She suddenly sat up and looked at Felicia on the sofa, calling out softly, “Mommy.”
Felicia jolted back to the present. She quickly pushed her emotions down, stood up, and hurried to the bed, sitting on the edge. “What woke you up? Did I disturb you?”
Anne burrowed into Felicia’s arms, climbing into her lap and resting against her. “You worked so hard today.”
In that instant, Felicia felt as if all her pain had been healed.
She hugged Anne tightly, leaned down, and kissed the top of her head. “It’s alright,” she whispered softly.
“I’m going to get washed up first. Anne, wait for me.”

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....
