The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 93
It was 11:30 when Max got back to his office. His secretary met him at the door. “Mr. Hawthorne, there’s a man here who says he’s Felicia’s brother. He wants to see you.”
Max paused, then nodded. “Let him in.”
A few minutes later, Greg stepped into the office. This was the first time they’d met face to face. Max crossed to his desk with a glass of water in hand and glanced at Greg as he came in. “Have a seat.”
Greg shook his head, keeping his distance. “I’m good. I just have a few things to say.”
Max studied him for a second, then sat down and set his glass on the desk. “Go ahead.”
Greg took a step forward. “I’m sure you saw last night’s news. Have you thought about what you’re going to do about the people who went after my sister online?”
Max drummed his fingers quietly against the desk. He looked up at Greg, his voice calm. “What do you think should be done?”
Greg’s mouth twisted. “So you haven’t thought about it at all.” There was a hint of bitterness in his voice.
Max didn’t reply.
Greg pulled out a photo and slid it across the desk. “I tracked down three of the ringleaders. Do you recognize any of them?”
Max picked up the picture. It was a group shot. Andrea sat on a stool in the middle, three other girls crowded around her, all of them smiling for the camera like nothing could touch them. He set the photo down and met Greg’s eyes. “I don’t care what you do. But remember, you should only take on what you can handle.”
Greg’s jaw tightened. “My sister was attacked for no reason. Maybe you can stand on the sidelines and act like it doesn’t concern you, but I can’t. And let me give you a piece of advice. You don’t know what you can handle until you try.”
Max’s gaze darkened, but he didn’t say anything.
Greg turned to leave, then paused with his hand on the door. “It’s true. We owe the Hawthorne family. But one day, we’ll pay you back. With interest.”
Luke was silent for a few seconds, trying to keep his frustration in check. “So what are you going to do?”
“I’m going to take them to court.”
“All right,” Luke said. “If you need anything, just call.”
“Thanks. How’s Felicia?”
“The doctor just checked. She’s at eight centimeters.”
“Okay.”

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....
