The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 1021
"Savannah." Finley hurried over to his daughter. "What happened? Are you hurt?"
Savannah smoothed her hair. "I'm fine, Dad." She glanced at Darin standing in the doorway, then shifted her gaze to Fiona.
Mr. Lane's face was pale and tense. He looked at the staff and demanded coldly, "What is the meaning of this?"
"You shouldn't be asking them, Mr. Lane," Savannah replied smoothly. "You should ask your good daughter what she just did."
Fiona trembled, glaring viciously at Savannah.
"If I don't get a proper explanation today, I will not let this go," Finley declared.
Mr. Lane looked at the unconscious man on the floor, his brow furrowing deeply.
"You couldn't control yourself and decided to fool around with some random man, and now you're blaming me?" Fiona retorted defensively.
"Fiona!" Mr. Lane barked, cutting her off.
Savannah let out a cold laugh. "Let me spell it out for you. I didn't even take a sip of that drink. I just wanted to see what kind of pathetic game you were playing. Turns out, you're still relying on these dirty, underhanded tricks. It's fine if you don't want to admit it. We'll just call the police and let them investigate exactly how you conspired with this scumbag to ruin my reputation."
Her words clearly laid out the entire sequence of events.
Finley's expression darkened. "Then we call the police."
"Now hold on, Finley," Mr. Lane interjected frantically. "Let's do this instead. I'll have my people look into this immediately, and I promise to give Savannah a proper explanation. We can still negotiate the financial returns we discussed earlier."
His last sentence was a blatant reminder to Finley. The regulatory fines would severely impact Brookside Bank's cash flow. Finley's expression wavered slightly.
Darin paused in his tracks.
Savannah raised an eyebrow. "Fiona only tried to ruin my reputation because she's jealous of my connection with you. She wanted to make you disgusted by me."
Darin turned his head, watching her in silence.
Meeting his dark eyes, Savannah felt a sudden, inexplicable tightness in her chest. She coughed awkwardly and looked away. "Never mind..."
"How do you want me to compensate you?" Darin asked, his voice low and steady.
Savannah froze for a moment. Turning back to him, she crossed her arms, tilted her chin up, and said, "Just buy me a late-night supper."

The readers' comments on the novel: The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max)
Take her back? Want to see her?? Donno about Felicia but I think I’m falling for this Max somehow🫠🙈pls update daily...
I knew it! Hopefully Felicia's health will improve and will want to have the baby. Oh how I despise Max's family....
Please post *I forgot I ever loved you*...
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....
