She called him back.
The phone was answered instantly.
Luke’s voice came through. “Hi, Felicia.”
Greg had already spoken with him, so he knew her current situation.
Felicia’s voice was steady as she asked, “How’s work going over there?”
“It’s going very smoothly,” Luke replied. “I’ll be back in a few days. I’ll treat you to dinner then.”
Felicia chuckled lightly. “You know I won’t say no to that.”
“I hope you won’t.”
…
They chatted for a bit longer.
Luke didn’t ask about the online scandal. Even though her tone was normal, he knew Felicia must be hurting inside.
He also knew there were people taking care of this for her, and there was nothing he could do.
“Luke, I’ll let you go for now. Let’s get together when you’re back.”
“Okay, sounds good.”
After hanging up, Felicia called Jeremy. He was already at the office.
“Felicia, can you come to the office?”
“Okay.”
Half an hour later, Felicia parked her car in the underground garage.
Reporters were swarming the main entrance of the building but were being held back by security.
Felicia took the elevator upstairs.
Along the way, employees greeted her as they normally would, but she could clearly feel the unusual, speculative glances from all around her.
It was unlikely anyone from within the company would target Felicia. The firm was undergoing an internal audit, and no one would dare to make a move at a time like this. That meant it had to be an external party.
Felicia’s brow furrowed in thought. “I think I have an idea who it might be.”
“Who?” Anthony asked.
Felicia didn’t answer him. It was just a guess, and she had no proof yet. Instead, she looked at Jeremy and said, “Regarding the Heathview investment, no matter what, I support your decision.”
Jeremy nodded slightly. “For now, we can only suppress this. Felicia, you should rest at home for the next few days. Handle any work remotely.”
Given the current situation, it was true that she wasn't suited to be in the office.
Felicia returned to her office and dialed a number. A moment later, she received a text with a new number. She immediately called it.
The call connected quickly. Dannie’s voice came through. “Hello, who is this?”
“It’s me.”
Dannie didn’t seem surprised. Her voice was calm as she replied, “Felicia. What can I do for you?”

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....
