The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 595

That afternoon, Felicia’s phone lit up with a call from Sydney.

She stared at the screen for a moment, then picked up.

Sydney’s voice was soft on the other end. “Evelynn, do you have time tonight?”

“I’m busy tonight,” Felicia answered, keeping her voice steady. “Is there something you need, Ms. Folker?”

She knew Sydney could hear the shift in her tone. There was no warmth left.

“I just wanted to have a talk. I promise it won’t take long.”

“I’m sorry. If this is about Ms. Lisbon, then there’s nothing left to say.”

Felicia kept her tone cold and, without another word, ended the call.

She set her phone down, exhaling quietly. It was obvious Sydney had called because of Carol. Something must have happened on their side.

It didn’t take long for Felicia to figure out what was going on. But it wasn’t Carol who was in trouble.

A manufacturing company of Lisbon family had just been exposed for faking product performance data. The news blew up overnight, affecting thousands of users and causing total chaos.

It shot straight to the top of the trending topics. The media swarmed in, covering every angle.

For something this big to break so suddenly, Felicia knew there had to be powerful people working behind the scenes.

She stared at the news, feeling nothing in particular. Maybe just a strange sense of inevitability.

Her phone rang again, this time from a number she didn’t recognize.

She answered, “Hello? Who is this?”

A hesitant voice came through. “It’s me.”

Max had to know what Darin was up to. With their family ties, Max and Henry probably had some kind of friendship, but now, Max was just watching from the sidelines.

She couldn’t help but feel like the two of them were quietly plotting something together.

Felicia shut off her phone and let the news fade into the background. She went on with her day, refusing to let any of it touch her routine.

That night, after dinner and a warm shower, Felicia curled up in bed, reading a storybook to Anne.

Outside, a Bentley rolled to a quiet stop in front of the villa. The door opened and Darin stepped out, spotting Colton coming down the steps.

“Dad.”

Colton handed Darin a gift box. “Your sister really liked the watch you picked out.”

Darin took the box with a nod. “That’s great. Is she home tonight?”
