The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 1001

Felicia followed Jeremy toward the ticket checkpoint.

As they were about to enter, Jeremy cast a cold, sideways glance at a figure walking into the cinema lobby. The man stood in place, exuding a calm and composed aura that clearly indicated professional training. He watched their retreating backs but didn't follow them inside. Instead, he found a seat in the public rest area and casually picked up a promotional flyer to browse.

The movie hadn't ended yet when Jeremy went to the restroom and stepped into the lobby. The man sitting on the bench instantly noticed him. He looked up sharply, only to see Jeremy walking straight toward him. He stood up.

Jeremy stopped right in front of him. His handsome face was dark, his eyes sharp and piercing. The man tensed up, meeting his gaze.

"Tell Max that Felicia is not his surveillance target. And you'd better stop following her," Jeremy warned before turning around and walking back into the theater.

The man watched him leave, his heart racing with guilt and anxiety. After hesitating for a moment, he walked out of the cinema, took out his phone, and dialed Max's number. The ringing tone felt like repeated strikes against his chest.

The call connected. "Hello," the man said.

"Mr. Hawthorne," the man reported truthfully. "I apologize. Mr. Milman spotted me."

Upon hearing this, Max's voice dropped an octave. "Are they together right now?"

"Yes, they're at the cinema." After he said this, the line fell silent. The man could feel a suffocating pressure radiating through the phone.

Max hung up.

Inside the theater, Jeremy had just returned to his seat. He asked Felicia about the part of the plot he had missed. As she was speaking to him in a low voice, her phone suddenly vibrated. She pulled it out of her bag. Seeing the caller ID, she rejected the call immediately and sent a text message: What is it?

Max replied instantly: Why aren't you answering my call? What are you doing?
