The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 730
Felicia fell silent for a brief moment before speaking in a serious tone. "Caroline, I am going to be completely honest with you. I reviewed GeoSmart's proposals and the company's internal situation. In the long run, winning the project from BlueMarble Investments will not solve GeoSmart's current crisis. It might even trigger cash flow issues down the line. If you are willing to trust me, I can draft a comprehensive business plan for GeoSmart free of charge. I promise you it will be far more effective than trying to secure that BlueMarble project."
In the past, whenever she had drafted business plans for corporate clients, her consulting fees had always started in the seven figures.
Hearing the absolute sincerity in Felicia's voice, Caroline understood the gravity of the offer. Even though she knew very little about corporate management, she was well aware that there were countless firms with better qualifications than GeoSmart.
Ultimately, her relationship with Felicia was not exactly deep or profound. The fact that Felicia had not outright rejected her initial request had been enough of a comfort.
"Of course I trust you, Felicia. Please let me know when you have some free time, and we can discuss the details at GeoSmart’s office."
"I will check my work schedule and let you know in advance."
"Sounds perfect."
Caroline knew better than to keep taking up a sick person's time.
"Get lots of rest, Felicia."
"Yeah."
Across town, Max had just wrapped up his business dinner. He slid into the backseat of his car, leaned against the plush leather, and closed his eyes to rest.
Anne's call broke the silence. "Daddy, when are you coming home?"
The dinner was originally supposed to run for another half hour, but because Anne had practically ordered him to come home and take care of her mother, Max had cut the evening short.
"I’m all done with work. On my way back right now."
"Okay."
He ended the call. Just as he was about to set his phone aside, a message notification chimed. He lifted the screen and saw two photos sent from an unknown number.
The moment he saw the images, his expression darkened drastically.
The driver instantly sensed the terrifying drop in temperature within the cabin. He kept his hands steady on the steering wheel and carefully peeked at the man through the rearview mirror.
One look was all it took. The driver immediately lowered his gaze and focused intently on the road ahead.
By the time she processed the sheer hostility in his gaze, Max had already taken Anne down the hall, and the bedroom door clicked shut.
Felicia stared blankly at the closed door. What on earth was the meaning behind that look?
She casually withdrew her gaze. He had always been like this anyway, throwing a silent tantrum the moment something did not go his way. She could not be bothered to analyze it.
After coaxing Anne to sleep, Max retreated to his study.
The entire study was engulfed in a suffocating, deathly silence.
The tall, imposing man stood hidden in the dim lighting. His expression was completely obscured by the shadows, but his body radiated an icy, unapproachable aura.
A few minutes passed before a soft knock sounded at the study door.
Olisha pushed the door open and stepped inside. The young woman had just stepped out of the shower. She was wearing a dangerously thin nightgown that exposed her slender, pale calves.
"Mr... Mr. Hawthorne," she called out, her voice timid and overly delicate.

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....
