On his way back to the office, Max received a phone call.
"Mr. Hawthorne, someone is attempting to leak information regarding your wife," the caller reported.
Max's voice dropped. "Who is it?"
"The IP address is located overseas," the caller explained. "They did not specify what the information entails. By the time we traced it, the user had already deleted the account."
Just two days prior, Max had issued strict orders to monitor all online discussions concerning Felicia. He had preemptively warned the relevant media outlets. Following the previous scandal and the official announcement from BlueMarble Investments, many opportunistic reporters had faced severe repercussions. A few individuals who had posted malicious comments were even made public examples of.
Naturally, no one dared to cross Max now.
Over at the villa, Andrea was furious upon hearing the news. She threw a massive tantrum, screaming at the maid who brought her tea.
No domestic media outlet dared to publish reckless stories anymore.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Who did Felicia think she was? She was determined to destroy that bitch.
"Miss Curtis, this is not the Curtis family estate. Why are you throwing such a massive fit here?" Trey asked as he descended the stairs, a look of contempt playing in his eyes.
Andrea was entirely blind to Trey's subtle disdain, but the sheer coldness in his tone made her inexplicably anxious. She forced herself to calm down, took a deep breath, and asked if Holden was awake yet.
"He probably does not want to see you today. You should head back."
Andrea's expression shifted drastically.
Trey ignored her completely, walking straight out the door and getting into his car to leave.
That afternoon, Ava happened to have some errands to run, giving her the perfect opportunity to pick up Anne.
Felicia texted Max to keep him informed. "My mom is going to pick Anne up. Please let her teachers know."
About ten minutes later, Max sent a simple acknowledgment.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max)
Nothing today...
The story starting to feel dragged out. Nothing much is happening anymore and Felicia and Max are getting kinda boring.. it’s just the same cycle over and over again...
I used to like this story but now it draaaaags :( Now it seems like all characters are problematic and toxic (yes, ALL characters). Wish the author will give some warmth/emotion in this story. 700+ chapters and still no highlight, no exciting part, just pure coldness and expressionlessness lol...
Max and felicia really need to figure things out. Either humble max down and get him to respect his wife. Or let felicia be a free woman. Max is so ignorant and egomaniac...
I've reached chapter 104 with a broken heart huhuuhu. This is so heavy, so sad. I know the chapters onwards will be more lighter. Can't wait for the pay back time....
When will this novel get an end It's dragging so much. Just kill max asap. How much should felicia bare. Give her freedom from that max and anne. Anne is so annoying child. I know she wants to patch up her mother and father. But sometimes it's really boring.please finish the novel soon. Everyday we have to check for the chapter updates. For God sake finish it off.
