The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 69

Vivian sent another text. [If you really can’t find a way, you can contact Mr. Foxhall directly. I’ll give you his number.]

Felicia wrote back, [Thanks, Vivian.]

A moment later, Vivian sent over Darin’s contact info.

That night, when Colton and Greg came home, Felicia didn’t explain much. She just brushed it off with a vague excuse. She was worried her dad would find out the company trying to buy Brightfield Digital was owned by her husband’s mistress’ family. If he knew, his pride would never let him go through with the deal. No matter how invisible Max was as a son-in-law, he was still her husband, and her father always felt guilty about the marriage. If the Hawthorne family hadn’t helped the Ross family out with a hundred million in cash and a big project, there’s no way he’d have let his daughter go through so much.

Greg could tell she was hiding something, but he let it go for now. Later, he messaged her privately, [Want to tell me what’s really going on?]

Felicia decided to come clean to him. She honestly didn’t get why Andrea seemed so intent on making her life harder. There was no real benefit in it. Max was completely devoted to Andrea, and Andrea knew Felicia had already brought up divorce. Even with the official title of Max’s wife, Felicia posed no threat. Maybe Andrea just didn’t want her to be happy. After what happened the last time with Savannah, it was clear Andrea only cared about herself and held a grudge for everything.

Max had already been willing to end his deal with Brookside Bank for her. This time, Andrea was the one blocking the Brightfield Digital acquisition. Max probably wouldn’t even say anything if he found out. Still, if things went badly and Andrea got upset, Max could easily turn against her too. If she wanted to save the deal, her only shot was to talk to Darin. He seemed reasonable, and there might still be a chance. She really wanted her dad to be free from all this stress.

Felicia shared her plan with Greg and asked him not to tell their father for now. Greg felt awful that he couldn’t do more. They’d spent so long talking with Riverline Properties. If the contract fell through, all that time and energy would go to waste, and Brightfield Digital would take a big hit.

[Alright, just keep me in the loop,] Greg said.

With no other options, Felicia decided to reach out to Jeremy. They were part of the same social circle, so he should be able to get in touch with Darin easily. After she called, Jeremy texted her back. [I’m in a meeting. I’ll call you when I’m done.]

[Okay, sorry to bother you, Mr. Milman,] Felicia replied.

[It’s fine,] Jeremy answered.

Felicia had been stuck at home for two days straight. That afternoon, the sun finally came out, and Ava convinced her to get some fresh air. It was good timing. She could wait for Jeremy to finish his meeting. Ava helped her out the door and asked, “Has Max gotten in touch with you?”
