The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 859
Max stared at the document in his hands for a long time before tucking it away in his drawer.
Felicia returned to Oakridge Estate to pack her and Anne's luggage, while the nanny prepared Max's bags as well.
She received a call from Max. "I'm taking Anne back to the main estate tonight. We'll be back later this evening."
"All right," Felicia replied.
Max hummed in acknowledgment.
Silence fell over the line.
"Was there anything else?" Felicia asked.
"Nothing else," Max said.
"I'll hang up then," Felicia said, ending the call.
Felicia received a text message from Darin. [How have you been lately, Felicia?]
She simply stared at the screen, making no move to reply.
Shortly after, another message popped up. [Jeremy mentioned you're heading to Cloudville. The weather there fluctuates a lot, so it's easy to catch a cold. You might not be used to it at first, so please be careful. I mailed you a few things. They should arrive tomorrow morning. Take good care of yourself. I want to come see you after I finish my work, if you're willing to see me. Whatever you want to do, just do it. I will always support you.]
Darin set his phone down, instantly schooling his features into a cold, imposing mask.
"Mr. Foxhall, Mr. Tate has requested a meeting with you tonight at seven," the assistant said respectfully. "Also, Mr. Collin Curtis is returning from abroad tomorrow."
The conflict between the two factions was escalating severely, and Darin showed no signs of backing down. He had successfully breached the core operations of IronGate Industries. This was a move Hank had completely failed to anticipate, proving that Darin's reach extended far deeper than anyone realized. Hank had also clearly misjudged Darin's hidden cards, having fallen for deliberate misinformation Darin had fed him earlier.
Furthermore, Holden had now been dragged back to New York by his father. Mr. McCoy had made it abundantly clear to Hank that the McCoy family wanted no part in the internal warfare between the Curtis family and Darin. As for any potential marriage alliance, that discussion would be tabled indefinitely.
The sudden withdrawal of the McCoy family was an undeniable and devastating blow to the Curtis family. Hank had only just discovered in the last two days that the McCoys pulled out because their overseas capital was being restricted, preventing them from making any reckless moves. It didn't take a genius to figure out who wielded that kind of power. Max was the only one capable of orchestrating it.
Although Roen Capital was still officially collaborating with the Curtis family, Hank had inadvertently offended Roen Capital in the process. Anyone with a discerning eye within the industry could see which side held the upper hand. While many internal allies claimed to remain neutral, their very refusal to take a stand was a choice in itself, especially considering most of them had previously maintained tight, collaborative ties with the Curtis family.

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....
