The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 92
The person behind the leak thought he could finally destroy Max’s reputation, but things spun out in a way nobody saw coming. By the time BlueMarble Investments got their PR team on the case, the moment to fight back had already slipped away. Now the guy was hiding out overseas. The detective who took the photos was already at the police station. He’d snapped a bunch of shots of Max with Andrea, and even got some of Felicia. Clearly, this detective knew what he was doing.
Max’s phone buzzed again. Darin was calling, asking about last night’s news that exploded online. The story hadn’t hurt Andrea or Max at all. Instead, Felicia, Max’s wife, ended up being the one everyone was attacking.
“We’ve found the guy,” Max said. “It’s Josh from Rivergate Engineering.”
“That’s good,” Darin replied. “But I don’t think you can keep your marriage a secret any longer.”
What started out as people piling on for fun had turned into a mess nobody could control. If BlueMarble Investments announced Max wasn’t married, it would just make things worse, spark more rumors, and set off another round of chaos. The smartest move now was to say nothing, let things cool off, and wait for people to lose interest. In the end, Felicia was left to deal with all the hate, even though she’d done nothing wrong.
“If you’re worried about Andrea, you really don’t have to be,” Max said.
Darin sighed, sounding frustrated. “Max, your wife is pregnant with your child. You don’t have to be so heartless.”
“Maybe I’m just not as sentimental as you,” Max replied.
Darin went quiet for a second. “Honestly, I wish your thing with Andrea was just a normal relationship. I don’t want her to be seen as the other woman.”
“She’s not the other woman,” Max said, his voice firm. Once he decided on something, it was almost impossible to change his mind.
Darin shifted the conversation. “Anyway, I’m heading back to Northwick tomorrow. How’s that situation I asked you to handle?”
After the call ended, Max leaned back in his chair, his expression impossible to read. He sat there for a while, lost in thought, then finally picked up his phone and made another call.
The house doctor answered. “Mr. Hawthorne.”
“What happened last night?” Max asked.
The doctor’s voice was calm. “Mrs. Hawthorne has been having trouble sleeping lately. She must have been upset by something, which affected the baby. Things are stable for now. We’re keeping a close eye on her and will do everything we can for both her and the baby.”
Max listened to the doctor’s report and didn’t ask anything else.

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....
