The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 836
Max stood by the car, watching closely as Felicia and Anne walked through the front doors of the villa. Once they were safely inside, he got back behind the wheel and drove away.
Greg was not at home today. Ava mentioned that he had finally managed to carve out some free time to go on a date with Heather.
"It is a miracle he actually found the time," Ava sighed happily. "I just hope he hurries up and settles down."
Felicia smiled warmly. "No matter how busy he is, as long as he cares, it will work out. Thankfully, Heather has plenty of free time to spend with him. Let them take things at their own pace, Mom. Do not put too much pressure on him."
"Of course I know that," Ava chuckled. "I am just feeling a bit sentimental. We will let nature take its course and see where their destiny leads."
"Exactly," Felicia agreed.
Inside the spacious living room, Colton and Ava sat chatting with Felicia. Anne was gleefully chasing Sean, around the furniture. Sean was nearly two years old and still waddled slightly as he ran. The entire house echoed with the bright, joyous laughter of the children.
Right as the family sat down to enjoy lunch, the maid rushed into the dining room in a panic.
"Sir! Madam! People from the court are here!"
The entire family froze in shock.
"What do they want?" Ava asked, her voice trembling slightly.
"I do not know, but they said they are looking for Colton."
Ava and Felicia instantly turned their eyes to Colton, who looked more bewildered than anyone else.
"Felicia, you stay here with the kids. Your father and I will go see what is going on," Ava instructed quickly.
But there was no way Felicia could just sit there. She asked the maid to watch Anne and Sean, then immediately followed her parents out of the dining room.
A group of court officials stood waiting in the living room, backed by several stern-looking law enforcement officers. Their aggressive, intimidating posture made it clear they were not there for a friendly chat. Colton and Ava stopped in their tracks, a terrible sense of foreboding washing over them. Colton felt a cold sweat break out on his neck, utterly clueless as to what catastrophic mistake he could have possibly made.
"Then explain why your signature is right here!" Ava shouted.
But Colton was entirely clueless. He had absolutely no memory of ever seeing this document, let alone signing his name on it.
Felicia stepped forward, remaining far calmer than her furious mother. "Mom, calm down for a second. Let me have a look."
Felicia took the document from Ava's shaking hands and scrutinized the pages. It was a corporate debt guarantee for a publicly traded company. Reading through the clauses, the entire scheme was brutally obvious. It was a classic shell game, shifting massive internal debts straight onto the shoulders of a scapegoat guarantor. The signature definitely belonged to her father, but it was painfully clear that he had been ruthlessly set up to take the fall.
"Felicia, what on earth is going on?" Ava asked, her voice tight with panic.
"Someone laid a trap for Dad," Felicia explained grimly. She looked up. "Dad, think carefully. When exactly did you sign this?"
Colton frantically shook his head, his mind spinning in chaotic circles. "I swear I have never seen any kind of guarantee agreement in my life! Even if someone had actually asked me to sign one, I would have rejected them immediately."

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....
