The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 726
Felicia said, "I will go over today's interview questions with the deputy editor one more time."
Colt replied, "Alright. Just a heads up, Holden is known to be difficult to talk to. Keep your guard up later, Evelynn."
"I know," she replied.
Twenty minutes later, the interview officially began.
Right before the cameras rolled, Colt gave Felicia a few last words of advice. He stayed off to the side to supervise.
Felicia offered Holden a polite handshake. "Hello."
Holden stared at Felicia. His intense gaze filled her with absolute disgust, but she forced her emotions down.
Holden reached out and grasped her hand. It was meant to be a brief exchange, but just as Felicia tried to pull away, Holden tightened his grip. Felicia stiffened. He released her moments later, a smile curving his lips. "Your hands are freezing. You do not look well. Are you feeling alright?"
Felicia ignored his comment. "Please take a seat, Holden."
Their microphones had not yet been turned on, so their brief exchange remained strictly between them.
Holden sat down on the sofa with the demeanor of a perfectly even tempered man.
Sitting at a professional distance, Felicia turned on her microphone and dove straight into the interview.
Today's topics focused heavily on value investing and macro hedging.
To Felicia's surprise, Holden was extremely cooperative. The first twenty minutes went incredibly smoothly, and her energy levels held up just fine. As time dragged on, however, her mental stamina began to rapidly deplete. Waves of agonizing headaches washed over her, and her reaction time slowed drastically.
"It seems you really are not feeling well, Evelynn. Should we take a short break before continuing?" Holden asked kindly.
Felicia looked at him and replied in a flat tone. "Thank you for the offer, Holden, but we can continue."
Holden held her gaze and said nothing more.
Watching from the sidelines, Colt had also noticed that Felicia's condition was deteriorating. She had looked a bit low on energy earlier, but now it was obvious she was genuinely ill.
Just then, Colt's phone buzzed.
He pulled it out and felt his heart leap into his throat when he saw the caller ID. He hurried outside to answer it, his voice instantly respectful. "Mr. Hawthorne."
The line was silent for several seconds.
Right at that moment, a staff member burst through the doors. "Colt, Evelynn just fell ill."
Colt's face drained of color. His hand froze around the phone. "Mr. Hawthorne, I need to go check on Evelynn. I will call you back shortly."
Max gave a low murmur of acknowledgment.
Felicia had been able to tolerate the initial bouts of her headache, but the pain had eventually become utterly unbearable.
Holden reached out to steady her, but Felicia recoiled violently. "Do not touch me."
The surrounding crew members jumped in shock.
Holden's expression remained perfectly unreadable.
One of the staff members snapped out of their daze and rushed forward to support Felicia.
Colt hurried inside and took in the scene. He immediately ordered his team to rush Evelynn to the nearest hospital, then marched over to Holden to offer his deepest apologies.

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....
