The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 1088
The public narrative had completely shifted, zeroing in on exactly how Dannie had managed to step in as a last-minute host.
Internet sleuths quickly uncovered that she was the executive secretary to Max Hawthorne, CEO of BlueMarble Investments. Since BlueMarble and Roen Capital were known rivals, the rumors rapidly mutated into a conspiracy theory. People speculated that BlueMarble had intentionally set Jeremy up. This tactic had recently destroyed another tech billionaire, whose reputation was left in ruins after similar allegations led to police investigations and plummeted stock prices. It was a tried and true method to crush a competitor.
The speculation did not stop there. Professional forums suddenly turned their attention to Felicia. A few months prior, Max had publicly announced his romantic relationship with Evelynn, who was widely known as Roen Capital's investment director. The two had been photographed together at numerous public events, displaying an intimacy that clearly crossed professional boundaries. Connecting the dots, people began to suspect that Jeremy had interfered in Max's relationship, and that this entire scandal was simply Max's way of exacting revenge.
Of course, the forum users only dared to whisper these theories carefully, terrified of speaking too plainly. The last time people had openly gossiped about Evelynn, the entire forum was shut down for mandatory restructuring. Private group chats, however, were exploding with debate.
The prevailing theory painted Jeremy as the 'other man,' a revelation that completely shattered the public's perception of the respected professor. The sheer volume of rumors was already inflicting severe damage on Jeremy's reputation. Yet, Roen Capital and Jeremy seemed entirely unfazed. Aside from refusing all press interviews, they continued their daily operations as usual, though internal company policies strictly forbade employees from discussing the scandal.
Darin dialed Jeremy's number. Jeremy picked up almost immediately.
"Darin, what is it?"
"Are you still busy?" Darin asked.
"Just working some overtime," Jeremy replied smoothly. Judging by his calm tone, he seemed utterly unbothered by the character assassination unfolding against him online. It was as if he had brushed the entire situation off entirely.
"You really are calm about all this," Darin noted.

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....
