The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 739
Just then, the suite door opened.
The people outside walked in.
Holden had his hands in his pockets, walking ahead with a nonchalant expression. He was followed by two bodyguards. They weren't protecting him. They were bringing him here.
Holden walked over and sat opposite Max. He picked up the wine bottle, poured himself a glass of red wine, and said, "You really didn't need such a grand procession to invite me over."
Max's dark eyes were cold, completely devoid of warmth as he stared at him. He parted his lips and spoke in a deep voice, "How long were you planning to keep those photos?"
Holden met the man's chilling gaze, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly. "Max, do you actually care or not?"
Max did not answer his question, merely giving a look to the bodyguards behind him.
The bodyguards understood. Just as they took a step forward.
Holden raised his hand, looked at Max, and said, "If you want it, I'll give it to you."
With that said, he put down his wine glass, pulled his phone from his jacket, unlocked it, and pushed it across the table to Max. Max connected the phone to a laptop, tracing all linked accounts. The photos on the phone had already been deleted, and no connected accounts contained any backups.
Max handed the laptop to a thin man standing nearby. He was a tech specialist for BlueMarble Investments and a former top-tier international hacker.
The tech specialist sat on a stool, his fingers flying across the keyboard.
Twenty minutes later.
"Mr. Hawthorne, there are no photos of Mrs. Hawthrone."
Max narrowed his eyes at Holden.
Holden remained composed and smiled faintly. "I certainly couldn't wait until you came looking for me to delete them. Now you can rest easy."
Max's voice was low and cold. "So how exactly did you manage to save the photos from Jeremy?"
Holden said, "I employed a bit of technical skill, of course." He then let out a light sigh. "Alas, I really just wanted to make a deal with you, Max. But since you are so resolute, there's nothing I can do."
"Holden, you had better not try any tricks with me." The tone was a clear, threatening warning.
"Here? How would I dare play tricks with you here."
They went to the dining room.
Olisha and the nanny brought the dinner to the table. There was still a little bit of the cured beef and sausages Felicia had brought back today.
"Daddy, try this," Anne urged.
Max picked up a slice of sausage, tasted it, and said, "It's quite good." He asked Felicia, "Where did you buy it?"
Felicia simply replied, "Someone sent it to me."
Anne kept her father company for a little while, then said to her mother, "Mommy, you keep Daddy company while he eats. I'm going back to my room."
Before Felicia could say anything, Anne turned and took Olisha's hand. "Olisha, come help me with my bath."
Anne left.
Leaving only Felicia and Max in the dining room.

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....
