Felicia walked into the reception room and immediately spotted Holden seated at the table. He still carried that same devilish, cynical posture, a faint, condescending smirk playing on his lips. As he lifted his gaze to look at her, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
He did not seem the least bit surprised by her appearance.
Felicia stared at him blankly. He had not come alone. She walked forward and took the seat at the head of the table, turning her attention directly to him. "Holden, what brings you here?"
Terry stood steadfastly right by her side.
Holden smiled lazily. "Evelynn, are you trying to call the shots for Max now?"
Felicia met his gaze without flinching. "I have a stake in this too. Shouldn't I be the one calling the shots for him?"
The smirk on Holden's lips deepened. "Weren't you two just in the middle of a messy divorce lawsuit?"
"That is none of your concern. Speak. What exactly are you here to do?" Felicia demanded.
Holden's expression tightened slightly. He raised a hand to the man beside him. The associate pulled a document from his briefcase and handed it over. Holden slid it across the table toward Felicia. "Take a look at this, Evelynn."
Felicia eyed the man warily before taking the file and flipping it open to read carefully. By the time she finished the first page, her face had turned entirely cold. She looked up and let out a harsh laugh. "Holden, you really cannot wait, can you? Are you really that certain he is not coming back?"
She suppressed the turbulence in her heart with all her might. She was absolutely certain now that Max's disappearance had something to do with Holden.
Holden maintained that shallow, unnerving smile. "Evelynn, I advise you to face reality. You think a man can fall into the ocean in the dead of night and survive? No matter how powerful Max is, he is still just a man, not a god."

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....
