Felicia received a call from Jeremy just as she arrived at the club.
"Are you there, Felicia?" he asked.
Felicia hummed in confirmation. "I just arrived."
"Heather is coming down right now," Jeremy instructed. "Wait for her in the lobby."
Felicia breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay," she said. This was the Capital, after all. Trey wouldn't dare try anything reckless with Heather here.
She ended the call and waited in the lobby.
A few minutes later, she suddenly heard a respectful greeting. "Mr. Hawthorne."
Felicia instinctively turned her head and saw Max appearing at the entrance. Dannie was following closely behind him. Dannie noticed her as well.
The manager stepped forward to welcome him respectfully. "Right this way, Mr. Hawthorne."
Max's gaze landed on Felicia, who was standing a short distance away. Felicia darkened her expression, looked away, and was just about to step aside when she heard Heather's voice.
"Felicia," Heather called out.
Felicia paused in her tracks. Heather was walking briskly toward her from the elevators. Felicia strode forward, grabbed her hand, and looked her up and down.
"Are you alright?" she asked.
Heather shook her head. "I'm fine. Don't worry."
Felicia glanced up and saw Trey. His dark, cold eyes fixed on Felicia before he strode straight past them. As he walked by Max, he stopped. A meaningful smirk tugged at the corners of his thin lips.
"Your woman certainly likes to stick her nose where it doesn't belong," Trey sneered. "You had better keep a close eye on a fickle woman like her. Otherwise, things might get messy when she inevitably drags you into some shady scandal behind your back."
His current attack on Greenway Electrical Services was merely a warning.
Felicia gripped the steering wheel tightly. Trey was an absolute lunatic. There was no limit to what that man might do.
"I think I’m gonna take Yara back to Northwick for now," Heather suddenly added.
Felicia pulled the car over to the side of the road and looked at her. "You can't give up on ever getting married again just because of Trey."
She knew Heather was overwhelmed with guilt right now. Even after her failed marriage to Trey, Heather had always been a radiant and confident woman. She used to firmly believe she could find a better man. But now, Felicia could clearly feel Heather's insecurity. Dealing with a relentlessly obsessive former husband would make anyone want to retreat.
That was likely Trey's exact goal.
Felicia reached out and took Heather's hand, speaking with earnest sincerity. "If you think like that, you are falling right into his trap. Besides, Greg isn't some coward who runs from trouble. By acting this way, you are underestimating him. He's been guarding against Brock for a long time, so the company losses this time are well within a controllable range. Even with Trey helping him, Brock won't be able to make any real waves."

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....
