The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 685
Max finished with the document in his hands, placed it aside, and leaned back in his chair. His dark eyes fixed on her, radiating an invisible but immense pressure.
Dannie lowered her gaze, waiting for Max to question her.
"Why did you choose to come to BlueMarble Investments in the first place?" Max asked, his tone devoid of emotion.
Dannie slowly looked up. "I wanted more room to grow professionally. Working for you, Mr. Hawthorne, is both an honor and a challenge, and I enjoy taking on challenges."
Since she had started, she had completed every task flawlessly, performing just as well as Felicia had when she worked for him.
So, in terms of her work, Max had no complaints.
"If you had to choose between Roen Capital and BlueMarble Investments, which would you pick?"
Dannie met his eyes, her heart seizing in her chest. She fought to remain calm and composed. "Mr. Hawthorne, I work for BlueMarble Investments now, and my loyalty is undivided."
Max's eyes narrowed, his voice dropping. "Answer my question."
Dannie's fingertips curled into her palm. "I would still choose BlueMarble Investments."
"Why?" Max pressed.
Dannie felt the air in the room solidify. She could almost hear her own heart pounding. Taking a quiet breath, she said, "As long as Evelyn is at Roen Capital, I would not choose Roen Capital."
The office fell silent.
Max tapped his index finger on the armrest. "So you're afraid of being overshadowed?"
Dannie said, "It's not about being overshadowed. We are simply not destined to work face to face in the same company."
Max let out a low, cold laugh that sent a shiver down one's spine. "Dannie, you're far too arrogant. You think so highly of yourself, yet you only resort to these underhanded tricks."
Dannie replied, "That's no longer a matter of what I want."
Her words hung in the air.
After a long moment, she heard the man's cold command. "Get out."
At his words, Dannie bowed her head. "Yes, sir."
She turned and left the office. The moment she stepped out, she let out a deep breath, feeling as though she had been brought back to life.
After calming her nerves, a faint, almost imperceptible smile touched her lips. Her gamble had paid off.
Then, she recalled what Felicia had said that day, and her expression hardened. She walked away quickly, pulling out her phone to call her father.

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....
