The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 761
Jeremy stood and walked to her side, gazing down at the street below. The rain showed no signs of stopping, and the dark clouds rumbled with occasional thunder.
After a brief silence, Jeremy spoke. "Take a couple of days to pack and head to Cloudville first. You can hand over any pending work to Savannah."
Felicia murmured in agreement.
About fifteen minutes later, Savannah arrived at Jeremy's office. "We sent her to the hospital," she reported. "Given Mrs. Steele's state, I do not know if she can hold on."
"Let us all get back to work for now," Jeremy said.
Savannah and Felicia nodded and left the room.
Meanwhile, inside the CEO's office at BlueMarble Investments, Isaac knocked and entered to give his report.
Barnaby had confidently signed the gambling agreement, only for them to discover he was backed by foreign capital. If Max had not sniffed out the trap early, Barnaby might have actually succeeded.
"Ms. Ross paid all of Barnaby's medical bills and gave his wife a sum of money," Isaac continued. "This morning, Mrs. Steele went to Roen Capital and knelt outside begging for mercy. She has since been taken to the hospital."
He did not know whether to call Felicia kind hearted or hopelessly naive.
Being a good person required basic situational awareness.
She was an elite professional who had shadowed Max five years ago. Did she still not grasp the cruel reality of their industry? When their rivals tried to take a bite out of BlueMarble, they never showed an ounce of mercy. It was a winner-takes-all world. If you failed, you paid the price.
As Max's wife, she should be standing by his side, yet she was sympathizing with the enemy. Isaac truly did not know what to make of her.
If she actually came crawling to Max to beg for mercy, then regardless of her being their daughter's mother, she was entirely unfit to stand beside him. Keeping her around would only be a liability.
Max listened to Isaac's report in silence, his handsome face betraying no emotion. "Keep an eye on the situation," he ordered simply.
"Understood."
"Oh, alright," Anne said. "But you have to wear it normally, okay?"
"Alright."
"..."
That night, after Anne fell asleep, Felicia stepped out of the nursery. She immediately spotted the man standing by the door. Lowering her eyes, she tried to step around him.
"Do you not have anything to ask me?" he said.
Felicia paused. She looked up at him and asked plainly, "What is it you want to say?"
Max stared down at her, his handsome features dark and unreadable. As their eyes met, a heavy silence settled in the air.

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....
