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."

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.
