The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 717
Holden was dressed in a striking purple suit, exuding a casual, lazily wicked charm. A silver chain rested against his collarbone, perfectly matching the studs in his ears, while a brilliant diamond brooch was pinned to his lapel. He practically dripped with wealth and extravagance, managing to look even more dazzling than Andrea standing beside him.
Andrea was equally decked out in luxurious designer wear. Her exquisitely pretty face had shed its usual innocent, sweet vibe, replaced by a sultry, mature allure that made her look perfectly matched with Holden. She clung to his arm with an undeniable intimacy.
It was obvious.
Andrea was genuinely about to get engaged to Holden. It made perfect sense. If you ignored Holden's thoroughly rotten and repulsive personality, his outward appearance and undeniable charisma were utterly intoxicating. For someone like Andrea, who practically threw herself at any handsome, wealthy man she saw, Holden was the ultimate prize. She was likely more than willing to be treated as his plaything as long as she got the status she craved.
As Andrea walked deeper into the mall, she spotted Max, Felicia, and Anne in the distance. A flash of unconcealed hatred flared in her beautiful eyes, and her grip on Holden's arm tightened instinctively.
Holden glanced down at her briefly before guiding them straight toward Max.
His gaze fell onto Anne, and he raised an elegant brow. "So this is your daughter, Max. She is absolutely gorgeous."
Max's handsome face remained icy, his dark eyes staring back with dead, unwavering calm.
Anne looked up at Holden, then shifted her gaze to Andrea before speaking up completely unprompted. "Mister, are you Aunt Andrea's boyfriend?"
No one expected Anne to initiate a conversation with Holden.
Holden took a step forward and crouched down to her eye level, flashing a warm, disarmingly friendly smile. "I sure am. Your name is Anne, right?"
"I am Anne," she confirmed brightly. "You and Aunt Andrea should get married really soon. I will definitely give you my blessing."
Holden let out a low chuckle, genuinely amused. But standing behind him, Andrea only felt a wave of profound, inexplicable humiliation washing over her.
"Oh? And why is that?" Holden asked.
"Because you are a perfect match."
Hearing this eloquent dressing down from a kid, Holden could not hold back anymore. He burst out laughing, shaking his head with a dramatic sigh. "Wow. You really are exactly like your father. Completely unforgiving once you get the upper hand."
"Hmph. That is because I have a good reason to be."
"Right, right. You are absolutely right. It is my fault. I apologize to you, little lady."
"I accept your apology," Anne declared firmly. "But you still have to apologize to my mommy and daddy."
Holden let out a dry, sarcastic chuckle. He stood up slowly, leveling his gaze with Max. "She really is your daughter, Max. Through and through."
"You are just too tasteless to know how to behave," Max replied coolly.
Without another word, he tightened his grip on Anne's hand. "Anne, hold Mommy's hand. We are leaving."

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....
