Felicity immediately pushed Vermont off when Hylda entered the doctor's office. "Why are you so hot like a stove?"Vermont shot her a look, "Well, isn't that nonsense? The weather's so hot. Are you not hot?" He thought to himself, 'She is really not that hot. She felt so squishy and soft like jelly when I held her.'Felicity took the brochure from the chair and waved it. "This mistress must be forty-something. Albert is over fifty. Could she really be pregnant?""There was news a few days ago about a sixty-year-old woman giving birth. Forty-something doesn't seem like a big deal," Vermont said and took the brochure from Felicity and fanned himself. He sat on the right side of Felicity. With the strength of a male's wrist, the wind he created even blew onto Felicity's face, providing some relief from the heat."Hold up. Something's not right. With Albert's attitude of giving priority to his offspring at such an old age, he would have been elated with the news. So why would she hide
Felicity asked, "So? Is she pregnant?"Vermont was still in shock after he saw the pregnancy checklist and has not snapped out of it. 'It was just that one time. Did she already get pregnant?'Felicity's words slowly brought him back to his senses. He said softly, "Yes, she's pregnant.""Sheesh, I knew it! I saw her taking a brochure about painless abortion just now. Who would look at those things when they are pregnant? The baby in Hylda's belly is definitely not Albert's child!"Vermont paid no attention to whose baby Hylda was carrying. He was more concerned about the baby in Felicity's belly, wondering if it was his. He thought about it for a while. When they got in the car, he hesitantly said, "What do you plan to do with the baby?"Let me be clear. I have no plans of getting married and am not eager to have a child. But if you want to have the baby, I won't force you to have an abortion. You will have to take care of the baby on your own. I will provide child support if the
After driving for a while, Vermont asked, "Rainee just passed away. Your bestie is not even Albert's daughter now. What's the use of finding out these things?"'Stella did not seem like the type of person interested in the Jewell family's assets. After all, she rejected Keegan's money.' Vermont wondered, 'Why would she even be interested in the puny inheritance left by the Jewell family? She wasn't even Albert's daughter by blood. She could take the chance to cut ties with them. Why bother getting entangled with them?'Felicity said, "Is there no need for revenge after a person dies? Those two adulterers teamed up and caused Rainee's car accident. She turned into a vegetable and lay in bed for seven years. Now that Rainee is gone, how could they be allowed to live happily ever after? Is this fair?"Vermont was startled. "Are you saying that Albert caused Rainee's accident?""Duh? Albert was about to leave the marriage with nothing at all, but then an accident happened to Rainee. Sh
[If there's a will, there's a way.]Due to this sentence, he studied everything about the Vinci Rivera Group for a year. This included the founding process, the company's history, and the specialties and sales of the current products.The following year when he applied again, he passed all interviews smoothly. The last one-on-one interview with Keegan made Aldor more nervous than ever. Keegan simply asked him a few questions and approved him.After they were more familiar with each other, Aldor mentioned this to Keegan. He gratefully told Keegan that if he had not seen the line on the back of his resume back then, he would have never come for a second time. It was Keegan who gave him another chance. Keegan was momentarily startled and said, "You did it alone."It was only after some time that Aldor knew Keegan would write something on the back of everyone's resume who managed to go into the last round of interviews every year.Most of them were encouragements, but the Vinci Rivera
Kaiden admired Stella's attitude very much. He believed that acting skills were second to a correct mindset and a clear goal.Kaiden had to go to Bostown to recruit an actor, so he could not go to the audition with Stella. He then told one of his colleagues to bring her there.Shea was supposed to be her assistant and was arranged to help other artists when she was on leave. Even though Trevor looked after Stella, he had company policies to follow.Stella was not supposed to have a personal assistant with her level of fame. So, it was only reasonable for Shea to be transferred to other artists when she was on leave.Shea called her colleague, Yasmine Fallon. Yasmine was also a celebrity manager and worked for Royal Deluxe Entertainment before she came to Elegant Media. She used to be in the same company as Felicity.Felicity told Stella that Yasmine was a very capable manager and used to manage several A and B-listers. However, she fell out with her boss over something. Her old bo
Stella hurriedly reached for her phone to call Yasmine, but there was no signal.She had forgotten that many celebrities and highly profiled people would come to Sapphire Clubhouse, so they installed a signal jammer on the fifth floor to protect the guests' information. There was just no way she could make a call from there.It was then Stella realized that she had been tricked. She looked around her and saw that there was not even a window in the changing room. However, there was a ventilating fan in the top left corner.It was impossible for her to shout for help.'Damn it!'What did I do to upset Yasmine Fallon?'Yasmine went back to the room for the audition after locking Stella in. Bella saw her and handed her a bottle of water."Yasmine, how did it go?""Don't worry." Yasmine took the water and smiled. "She won't be at the audition today."Felicity was wrong. Yasmine once tried to recruit Bella. Even though she did not manage to do so, they formed a very good relationshi
Keegan's face darkened. "What do you mean by that?"Aldor replied softly, "Her signal's gone. She's probably here in Sapphire Clubhouse and entered the signal jamming zone. However, I couldn't see her anywhere in the audition venue."I talked to the clubhouse manager. He's looking at the surveillance cameras now, but it will take some time." Aldor paused before continuing, "Somebody probably set Mrs. Kane up."Keegan was unfamiliar with the "rules" of showbiz, but Aldor was.Aldor knew that Stella would be a threat to her competitors after Jurisdiction was aired. Jurisdiction was a legal series that gained over a million viewers in just a week and topped the trending searches several times without paying for any promotional campaign.The showbiz pie could not get any bigger. Stella was good at acting, and she had a pretty face too. She would get a piece of pie off somebody else's plate if she ever got famous.Aldor figured that Stella took the audition seriously, and she would ha
It was true that Keegan wanted Stella to stay by him forever, but he had never put a lock on the cage. She was the one who lost her fighting spirit after staying too long in her comfort zone.Stella was like a baby elephant chained up its whole life. It could definitely be strong enough to break free when it grew up, but it just would not have the courage to.Stella had chosen to step out of the cage. So, Keegan would never do anything to trap her back in and destroy her dream if she was unwilling to return to him.Aldor was shocked and said softly, "I got it, boss."Keegan walked past the audition room and stopped after taking a few more steps. He bowed his head down and felt something wet under his feet. The carpet was supposed to be bright red, but the part under his feet was darker.That damp trail flowed from a very small door a few feet away to where he was standing. Aldor said curiously, "It's leaking. This isn't right. Why does it smell like alcohol?"Keegan looked over.
