Vermont chuckled softly. "It's called working smart. Keegan is happy to investigate Hylda and so is your best friend. Everyone is happy, so technically, I wasn't lying."

Felicity snorted. "You're just a cunning man with twisted logic!"

Vermont handed her the disposable utensils and said, "Here, you've been busy all night. Eat something to fill your stomach. I specifically bought this for you, and I can't eat it anyway. It won't taste good when it gets cold, and I'll even have to throw it away."

Felicity initially wanted to reject him with dignity, but the crispy pork belly was simply too tempting.

So, she "reluctantly" said, "Give me a heads up when you buy things like this next time. It'd be a waste if I don't eat them."

Vermont replied with a smile, "Sure."

Felicity took the utensils, and her fingers unintentionally brushed against Vermont's. He instinctively pulled his hand back, causing the utensils to fall on the floor.

Felicity paused.

Vermont made quite a big movement as

    Vermont invited three players. One of them immediately came online, while the others were still launching the game.So, the three of them waited for the other two players.Felicity did not know who the other player was. So, she appeared rather quiet as compared to her usual chatty behavior.Vermont was probably very familiar with that player. As soon as the player with the gamer ID "IAmFragile" joined the party, he said, "My handsome man, it's been so long since you played with me."The player was speaking to Vermont because Vermont's gamer ID was "TheHandsomeMan"."I've been busy," Vermont said.IAmFragile chuckled. "I've seen you coming online a few times recently but every time I tried to invite you, you had 'Do not disturb' mode on. Busy with your new girl, huh?"Is she this pig-stealing girl?" he asked.Felicity's gamer ID was "ThePigThief".Vermont laughed and said, "This is my good friend in real life."That person understood immediately. "That's fine, then. Otherwise,

    Felicity pursed her lips without saying anything.Vermont said to her softly, "Stay under the tower and farm. Don't go too far out.""Okay," Felicity responded.However, in this type of game, one would become very vulnerable to the enemy team once the opportunity to farm in the early stage was lost.The enemy team found out that the middle lane was their weak spot, so they kept targeting Felicity.Her teammates were busy pushing the top and bottom lanes. They were not available to back her up, and they would only come to the middle lane after she died in the game.In just a few minutes, she died thrice. The enemy would go past the tower to kill her, and she died almost instantly after respawning.After that, her teammates began to suspect that she was intentionally feeding the enemy team.ComingForYou said, "Stay near the tower if you can't beat the lane. How hard is that to understand?"FleeingPrincess added, "You died seven times in just fifteen minutes. Look at how much gol

    "Why are you saying that?"Vermont reached out and wanted to wipe away the tears at the corner of her eye, but Felicity quickly brushed his hand off."Why did you confess to me, then? You messed up my mind. Yet, you acted as if nothing happened and played games with another woman while flirting with her online. Am I just a toy for you to play with when you're bored?"Her voice turned nasal, and due to how emotional she was, she began stuttering. "You come hugging and kissing me when you like it. And, when you don't, you just throw me aside like I'm nothing. Did you see how you reacted just because my hand touched you? Am I like a thorn or poison to you? Why did you confess to me if you don't like me?"I'm the dumbest person alive. I knew what kind of person you were, and I knew how many exes you have. Yet, I still became so bothered by a casual confession from you. I couldn't even sleep well after rejecting you. I kept thinking about giving you a chance, but turns out, you don't ev

    Felicity's eyes were filled with tears again, as she said in a nasal voice, "I would, but I have one condition."Vermont's heart raced, and he was ready to agree to just anything, even if she had a million conditions!He suppressed his excitement and softly asked, "What is it?"Felicity gathered her thoughts and said, "I'm the only child in my family. My mom hopes that I can marry and have children with someone who will carry my family name. I don't really care about that, but I'm sure that my mom will definitely insist on having more than just one child."Vermont nodded.Having a few more children was not a problem for Vermont. He liked kids too, and if Felicity's body could take it, it would be perfectly fine for him. Otherwise, he would just go with the flow.However, Felicity was not done yet, as she continued, "If we got together, my mom's dream of having grandchildren would be impossible to come true."I don't care if you're capable of having children or not. I like you fo

    Sophia could not sell the shares she had bought and could not turn them into cash to repay Ethan. So, the Shaw family was now hounding her for the money.Even worse, Ethan had also posted plenty of Sophia's private photos in their circle, threatening to release all the uncensored ones online if she failed to pay up. He wanted to show everyone how slutty she looked around men.Sophia did not dare to speak harshly to Ethan anymore and had no choice but to beg him for more time.She spent two days tracking down Albert and finally saw him around his office.Compared to the miserable state she and her mother were in, Albert looked relatively radiant.As soon as he heard that Sophia came to him for money, he immediately said, "Your mother took all the money, and she's nowhere to be found. I'm worried too. Do you think I would keep all the money to myself if I had them? You're my own daughter, after all."Sophia could not contact Hylda at all, but it did not mean that Albert could fool

    However, Xenia was not worried at all. [There's nothing more satisfying than sending Albert Jewell to jail. You still have to look for Hylda if I don't open the door. But now that Sophia is here, I have a better plan.]Stella quickly understood what Xenia's plan was, but it was simply too risky.Stella called her and said, "There's no need to rush things. Your safety is our priority right now, so you shouldn't expose yourself."Xenia smiled. "Stella, without you and Mr. Kane's help in these past few months, I can't imagine what would have happened to my sister and my family. I already have no regrets in this life now that she can go to school like a normal person of her age. Helping you put the person who hurt your mother in jail is the only thing I can do for you. I'll do my best to protect myself."Then, she hung up the phone before Stella could say anything.Stella tried calling her back again, but Xenia just would not pick up her call.Stella immediately grew anxious and cont

    "Do you know how Rainee got into a car crash back then?" Xenia asked in a hushed tone.Sophia froze and frowned. "Bad luck? Karma? Who cares? All I know is that have nothing to do with it.""Maybe not, but your family does," Xenia said in disdain. She paused for effect and continued in a mysterious manner, "I overheard Mr. Jewell and your mother arguing on the phone a few days ago. It turns out that they had a role in Rainee's accident."Sophia's heart sank. She pressed the knife harder against Xenia and said, "Do you really expect me to believe that?"The wound from earlier deepened, and blood trickled down Xenia's neck. Her lips were pale, but she pushed through the pain and said, "I stumbled upon this detail by accident. Your mother paid a visit a few days ago, looking for Mr. Jewell. I thought she was trying to convince him not to divorce her, so I secretly followed them. That was when I overheard the truth. It wasn't a mere accident that caused Rainee's death. Your mother had

    Sophia realized that money was more important to Albert than his children. 'He had callously watched me descend to this state without any concern. I have no reason to cling onto a nonexistent father-daughter bond.'Even though Sophia had made up her mind, she still did not trust Xenia entirely. "What's your motive behind all this? Why should I trust you?" she asked in a cold tone.Upon hearing this, Xenia sensed she had gained about eighty percent of Sophia's trust. She lowered her voice and said, "Well, wouldn't you like to know?"I'll hand over the evidence in exchange for a house and five million dollars. You can give them to me when you inherit Albert's assets. How does that sound?" she continued."Are you even worth that much?" Sophia sneered.Xenia smiled and said, "I overheard Albert say that the Jewell family company is valued at ten billion dollars. I'm sure it will still be worth at least one billion dollars with inflation. Plus, Albert has several other properties. I'm

    Keegan moved from initial resistance to reluctantly listening, and eventually to questioning."Why do these novels portray men as so stupid and brainless, yelling at the female lead as if they have intermittent explosive disorder?""Is the male lead sick? Forcing the female lead to donate a kidney, is he out of his mind?""How many years would they get for calling the police in their world?""Why is he so dumb? The supporting actress claims the female lead pushed her into the water and he believes it? Is checking surveillance footage illegal?""Stella, are you making fun of me?""I can't learn this. It all feels so neurotic. What does the female lead see in him?"Stella retorted, "Who cares if it's neurotic? Just mimic that stupidity, that's how these innocent women like men who protect them like that."Keegan was very reluctant, but his brain was more compliant than his body. Without needing to study deliberately, everything he heard stuck in his mind.So when Keegan mentione

    Keegan's expression darkened with anger. "You're being completely unreasonable!"Stella crossed her arms, wearing an expression that seemed challenging. "You let her take it. Let's see if I dare."Jaylene hadn't actually wanted those junk items in the first place; she was deliberately trying to stir up discord between them. Now that her goal was achieved, she put on a sympathetic look."Keegan, I don't want it anymore. Don't be angry. Your health is more important. Didn't the doctor say to keep your emotions stable?"Turning her head, she reproached Stella. "Stella, are you here to help Keegan recover his memory or just to provoke him?""Shut up, you brat! Do you even have a say here?"Acting under the guise of a drama, playing the role of someone lacking in manners, was incredibly satisfying.She’d wanted to curse this brat for a long time!Jaylene's lips twitched, but she held back, tearfully saying, "Stella, if you don't like me, I'll leave. There's no need to humiliate me l

    Jaylene understood the situation perfectly. Even though she didn't particularly like these cold, mechanical devices, she put on a pretense of surprise, saying, "Really, Keegan?"Keegan nodded. "Choose one you like.""Keegan!" Before Stella could finish her sentence, she couldn't hold back her sharp voice, "With your pile of junk that I can't even touch normally, she takes a look and now you want to give it to her? What's the meaning of this?!"Keegan frowned, apparently not comprehending her current anger at all. "Jaylene gave me a gift, and I'm giving her one in return. What's the problem?""What problem?" Stella's eyes started to redden. "I can't touch them, so why should she be able to? Have you forgotten, or do you have inappropriate feelings for her?"Keegan's expression darkened. "This makes no sense!"Jaylene secretly delighted in this, hypocritically trying to calm things down, "Forget it, Keegan. Since Stella minds so much, I don't want it anymore. You've strained your r

    The standoff lasted for over twenty minutes before Keegan grabbed a book and knocked the beetle off Jaylene's neck. The beetle fluttered twice and suddenly flew up, landing on Jaylene's face.Jaylene screamed, rolled her eyes, and fainted.As she collapsed, the bug flew off again."Jaylene?"Keegan called out to her.He looked up at Stella and said, "You go start the car, I'll carry her to the hospital."As he spoke, he signaled to Stella.She understood and coldly grunted, "So troublesome."Walking over to Jaylene, she squatted down beside her and slapped her face twice.Jaylene immediately opened her eyes and reached out to push her away. "What are you doing!"Stella was prepared and had already moved back before she could be pushed.She shook her tingling hand and innocently said, "Jaylene, you fainted because of the bug. I was just saving you. Don't believe me? Ask Keegan."Jaylene nearly ground her teeth. Did she think she hadn't heard? She was intentionally exposing h

    Her fingertips trembled with a mix of horror and excitement. Just as the teapot was about to slip from her grasp, Keegan suddenly said, "Jaylene, don't move."Jaylene froze, instinctively thinking Keegan had regained his memory. She had barely twitched when Keegan loudly stopped her again, "Don't move, absolutely don't move."Jaylene wanted to say something, but then felt an itching sensation on her neck, as if something was crawling slowly. Goosebumps erupted all over her body.By now, Stella had turned around and saw Jaylene standing stiffly with the teapot in hand. Her eyes quickly assessed the situation and then she noticed the beetle crawling on Jaylene's neck.It was an unknown species, not overly tentacled but as long as a little finger, its mouthparts slightly twitching, genuinely alarming in appearance.Stella murmured, "It's so big."Jaylene couldn't see what was on her neck, unsure if it would bite or if it was venomous. She stood frozen in place, her voice trembling,

    Seeing him, Stella even lowered her eyes and softly praised, "Mr. Kane, you acted very well."Keegan glared at her, his voice low and intense. "If you keep watching like this, Coco will cut ties with me tomorrow."Stella replied confidently, "No, she won't. After accepting the red envelope, she can tolerate you a little longer."Keegan asked sharply, "Did you teach her to ask for red envelopes like this?""Don't falsely accuse me; I didn't teach her.""You may not have taught her directly, but you set an example. Have you forgotten how you always make me buy things for you?"Stella was speechless. Whenever she wanted Keegan to buy her something, she would often say, "Gifts are only surprises when given voluntarily. If reminded, it shows they don’t like me that much."It had to be said, Coco had learned the essence of it.Stella also felt a bit awkward, thinking that in the future, she needed to avoid such flirtatious conversations between spouses in front of the children. They

    Could she figure all this out?Keegan frowned, casting a disappointed look at Coco. "Are you not listening to me now?"Coco raised her gaze defiantly and stated, "Aunt Stella taught me that if I don't want something someone gives me, I can say no. I don't want this hairpin.""Didn't she teach you that even if you don't like something, you should still say thank you?"Coco fell silent for a moment, then reluctantly said to Jaylene, "Thank you, Aunt Jaylene, but I don't want it."Jaylene hesitated with her hand extended, unsure whether to retract it or leave it there, managing a strained smile. "Then what do you like? Next time, I will get you something you do like."Coco asked, "Do you want me to do something for you?"Jaylene was taken aback. "What?"Coco replied seriously, "Aunt Stella says offering help without reason is either deceitful or thieving. Since you don't like me, why else would you give me something? You want me to do something for you, right?"Jaylene forced a s

    Leighton's incident did indeed revive their suspicions.Jaylene was gullible, but Darcie might see through this scheme. "Keegan, why didn't you go to work today?" Jaylene chose to ask directly at first.Keegan remained composed. "I've been busy with the press conference lately and haven't had much rest. Now that things have slowed down, I thought I'd take a break and relax."Jaylene spoke gently, "You should rest well. Since you came back, you've been busy, and you've been postponing Dr. Stone's follow-up appointments. Keegan, I'm really worried about your health. Since you're resting these days, I'll arrange for Dr. Stone to give you another check-up. Stella has been living here to assist your recovery for so long. We need the doctor to give a clear assessment of whether there's been any improvement. Otherwise, it's not good for Stella's reputation to stay here so long, unmarried and under one roof."Keegan nodded. "Okay, please arrange it. Thank you."His response was decisive,

    Stella had just descended the stairs when she heard that remark, causing her eyelids to twitch as she thought to herself, “Damn it! He really knows how to come up with excuses!”Upon hearing this, Jaylene's eyes briefly flashed with disdain, but she ultimately accepted the shoe covers Keegan handed her. As Keegan led Jaylene into the house, her eyes continued to scrutinize every corner.There were a couple of pillows on the sofa, couple mugs on the table, wedding photos of Keegan and Stella on the walls, and even headbands and hair ties scattered on the table. The house exuded an unmistakable feminine touch.Jaylene's expression darkened, but when Keegan turned to ask if she preferred tea or coffee, she adopted a gentle, harmless demeanor. "Tea would be perfect."Keegan invited her to take a seat and called for Maria to prepare tea. Jaylene spoke softly, "Keegan, I heard from Stella that you brew Dragon Well tea better than anyone else. Is there a special technique?"Stella paused
