Felicia entered the house and changed her shoes. She stepped into the main hall.
Toys and dolls belonging to her little girl were scattered everywhere, looking completely out of place against the solemn, stately decor of the room.
The nanny had no intention of inviting her to sit. "Mrs. Hawthorne is resting right now, so you will have to wait here for now."
Felicia walked straight toward the sofa and sat down. "That is fine. I can wait."
The nanny's expression instantly changed when she saw the action. "Do you have any manners at all? Who permitted you to sit down?"
Felicia raised her eyes to look at the nanny. "Then go and tell Mrs. Hawthorne right now that I sat on her sofa."
"You..."
The nanny shot a pointed look at another maid. The second maid understood, and both women stepped forward to pull Felicia up, refusing to allow her to sit.
Felicia picked up a teacup resting on the coffee table and smashed it onto the floor. Crash! A sharp, shattering sound echoed through the room.
The nannies jumped in fright, knowing full well that the teacup was incredibly expensive.
"Don’t touch me!"
The nannies froze in place. Just as they were at a loss for what to do, they saw Tatiana walking toward them with a dark, thunderous expression.
The nannies quickly lowered their heads and called out respectfully. "Madam."
Tatiana glanced at the shattered teacup on the floor, then glared at Felicia sitting on the sofa. The disgust in her eyes was completely undisguised. "Do you really think you can just do whatever you please, Felicia?"
"You are just too used to being on your high horse, using your power and influence to suppress others on a whim," Felicia continued. "The person you have bullied has not even done anything yet, and you are already this furious. If I actually did something, you would probably drop dead from anger on the spot."
Tatiana clutched her chest, looking so enraged she could not even speak. She was the wife of a powerful official, after all. Whenever she went out, everyone flattered and catered to her. Who had ever dared to make her turn pale with anger?
"Since you lack the ability to control your own son, you take your anger out on irrelevant people," Felicia said. "To put it nicely, you are a bully who preys on the weak. To put it bluntly, you are completely useless."
The nanny snapped angrily. "Shut your mouth! Do you know who you are talking to? Do you want to be banished from the Capital forever?"
Felicia showed no sign of stopping, completely ignoring the nanny's threat. She let out a cold laugh. "If you are so powerful, Tatiana, then just kill me. That way, your son can logically marry another woman. But if you do not have the guts, I will not just let you take me down with impunity. Your Hawthorne family cares most about your reputation. At worst, we can just destroy each other and drag everything down together."
Hearing those words, the nanny finally realized the truth in hindsight. This was the woman Max had married, the mother of little Anne.

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....
