The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 838
Darin received the news immediately.
He and Max sped toward the Ross family villa. As they pulled up to the front gates, Max turned to look at him. "Felicia is home today. Are you sure you are ready to go inside?"
Darin's nerves were pulled taut as wire. His fingers clenched into white-knuckled fists, and his handsome face was shadowed with gloom. The dark depths of his eyes were swimming with agonizing conflict.
"Why don’t you stay out here and wait?" Max decided. "I will go inside and assess the situation first."
In the end, Max walked into the Ross family villa alone.
The moment he stepped through the door, Darin's phone buzzed in his pocket. He pulled it out and answered. "Hello."
It was Jeremy. Mason had correctly guessed that Felicia was in serious trouble involving the Curtis family. The moment he finished his call with Felicia, he had immediately dialed Jeremy to warn him.
"I am standing outside the villa right now," Darin said, his voice tight. "I do not know the exact details yet. Max just went inside."
Max strode straight into the living room. Felicia was in the middle of intensely arguing with the law enforcement officers. The moment Max appeared, his overwhelming, authoritative aura commanded the room, instantly plunging the chaotic space into absolute silence.
Max walked straight toward Felicia, his eyes locked on her flushed cheeks and trembling frame, clearly agitated by extreme emotional distress. Felicia looked up at the man approaching her.
He stopped right in front of her, reached out, and smoothly took the legal document from her hands. He scanned the pages for a few seconds before casually handing it back to the lead officer. "We will be filing an official appeal with the court. As for how this fraudulent guarantee agreement was fabricated, we will need time to investigate the truth."
The officer accepted the file. Even though he maintained a professional tone, he could not help but feel intimidated by the crushing dominance radiating from the man standing before him. "You are within your rights to file an appeal. However, in accordance with standard procedures, all assets registered under Mr. Ross's name will be frozen within three days."
A wave of dizzying nausea hit Ava the moment she heard those words. Colton instinctively reached out to support her, but she aggressively shoved his hands away. Colton swallowed hard, overwhelmed by a bitter, unspeakable misery.
Once the court officials finally packed up and left, a heavy silence settled over the living room.
"Okay."
Anne looked up at her grandparents, her large eyes filled with innocent worry. "What is going on?"
Ava forced a strained smile onto her lips. "It’s fine, sweetie. I just need to lie down for a little bit."
Anne blinked her big eyes and nodded. "Okay, then rest well, Grandma."
Ava hummed softly in agreement, allowing the maid to help her upstairs. Colton trailed silently behind them.
Felicia and Max walked back into the dining room. Anne, entirely unbothered, went back to the living room to play with Sean under the maid's watchful eye, leaving her parents alone.
Felicia sat back down in her seat, staring blankly at her half-eaten food. Her appetite was completely gone. Max sat down right beside her and calmly served himself a some soup. Noticing that she had not picked up her fork, he spoke softly. "Do not worry. Your father is going to be fine. Just eat your food."

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....
