Felicity paused for a moment and said, "You clearly have company. Why don't I come back here some other day?" She started to get up, but Vermont pressed down on her shoulders and gently pushed her back into her seat."It's fine. Just tell me. She won't come out. And if she does, I'm sure she wouldn't blabber."Felicity sat back on the couch and thought for a while before she said, "I'm going to apply for a job in the next few days and realized that my resume is not good enough. Are there any un-broadcasted films or co-written dramas from your company that you can slap my name on?" She added, "It's fine if you don't have any.""That's all?" Vermont chuckled. "I thought it was something serious."Felicity's eyes lit up when she heard his tone relax. "Can you do it?"Vermont looked at how expectant she looked and began to tease, "Sure, but not for one egg tart.""How about I add on a whole box of mangoes?" Felicity said generously."I don't need something I can buy with my own mone
Felicity sat on the couch and saw the bra once more. She sneakily grabbed a pillow and used it to block the lingerie from her sight. Meanwhile, Vermont was done with the phone call and saw Felicity sipping her glass of water. Her face was cute and round. She looked like a hamster with puffy cheeks as she drank the water, which made Vermont feel pleased."How come you wanted water today? You'd usually go for a beer or coke." Vermont walked over and said."I'm on my period," Felicity replied."You get periods?" Vermont teased.Felicity stopped what she was doing, and her whole face darkened. "No. I don't," she gritted her teeth and said. She took out an unopened sanitary pad from her pocket, grabbed Vermont's arm, and slapped the pad in his hand. "Here! I don't need this thing. You use it!" Felicity got up angrily to leave after saying that.Vermont hurried to catch up with her, but it was too late. Felicity had already slammed the door and left. When Vermont opened the door, she wa
If Olivia had not stepped in that night, the incident would have taken an unimaginable turn. Keegan clutched the document in his hand. "Does Marshall know about this?" He asked after a long time."Mr. Moore went to the hotel and called the police that night. He might have been unaware of the situation. Mr. Saun withdrew from the lawsuit to protect his reputation, as it was Ms. Saun in the hotel room at the time.," Aldor replied.'Unaware, huh?' Keegan thought. After a long time, he put the file on the table and said in a deep voice, "Assist the police in finding the two underground casinos in Eastville. The holidays are coming. We should help them with their search."Aldor understood what Keegan meant. Yoven owned the two underground casinos in Eastville. The gamblers range from high-ranking officials and dignitaries down to peddlers and traffickers. There were all kinds of people in the gambling ring. A few of them commit suicide every year because of their loss. It was a social ca
Keegan began looking into the people who introduced gambling to his college classmate. Each of them got arrested two months after the funeral. However, it did not bring his college classmate back from death. The maximum sentence for gambling was only two to three years at most. The main culprit was the one who owned the casino.At the start of the year, Keegan had found the locations and entry requirements for Yoven's two underground casinos. Despite this, he hesitated to act due to the many personnel involved, aware that any action would make enemies. If not for the incident with Stella, Keegan would have waited for a better chance to apprehend Yoven, but circumstances pushed him to act sooner.Shortly after Aldor had left the office, Keegan received a text from Xenia. [I've retrieved all the photos that are in Albert's hands. He doesn't have a backup, and I've deleted everything on his phone.][Thank you,] Keegan replied.[Your lover asked me to fake a pregnancy to scare Hylda. S
Albert scowled. "Then, what's with the pregnancy test I found in the bathroom?"Xenia clenched her mouth shut and did not say a word."Hey, I asked you a question. What's going on?" Albert frowned.Xenia's eyes turned red as she said hoarsely, "I don't know. I've been a little nauseous these days, and my colleague asked me if I was pregnant. So, I got scared and bought a pregnancy test..."I didn't expect that it would turn out like this..." Xenia choked up as she spoke. Her face was covered in tears. "Mr. Jewell, I'm scared..."Albert looked into her blurry eyes, and his heart was beating vigorously. 'She looks so similar to Rainee when she's crying. It's like I'm in school again.' Albert's heart melted in an instant. 'We wouldn't have to come to this point if only Rainee had relied on me more and obeyed my every word like this girl in front of me.'Out of all my lovers, I've always loved her the most. Why did she have to betray me?'Albert hugged Xenia in his arms tightly, pat
It only took three hours for the world to cancel Yolanda Fenley. It was so fast that Stella thought it was magic. Soon, news of Yolanda's tax fraud popped up on every social media platform for the whole day.Yolanda finally got to experience being famous but for the wrong reasons. After the collapse of Yolanda Fenley, more and more of her dirt got exposed. For example, it was revealed that Yolanda deliberately bullied the newcomers in her film crew. Another instance was when she interfered with someone's marriage and became a homewrecker.There were even leaked photos of Yolanda getting in bed with other male celebrities. She also got exposed for her long-term use of illegal drugs. However, there was no official notice regarding the banned narcotics, so it was unclear whether it was true. On the other hand, the leaked photos were going around the internet like crazy. They were so erotic that they almost looked like pornography.The people behind Motives for Murder followed suit and
"I'll pay you a visit on the set then."Stella's eyelid twitched. "It's fine. You're going to affect my work."Keegan smiled and said. "Don't worry. I won't stand by the bed this time.""Just wait for me outside. I'll tell the director to shoot my scene first."Keegan agreed.Stella got changed and came outside after she was done with her part. Then, she saw a Maserati stopping right in front of Keegan's Mercedes, and both cars' windows were rolled down. Trevor had a pair of sunglasses and was resting his elbow on the door when he looked at Keegan with a smirk. "Mr. Kane, don't you need to work? Why are you coming to the set so often? Are you a guest actor now?"Keegan glared at him. "Well, I should at least check on the progress of the movie I invested in as the boss, right?"Trevor frowned. "When did you invest in a movie? I didn't know at all."Keegan said without holding back. "Did you pocket the two hundred million I invested in your company? Did you forget that I own El
Stella's head hurt when she saw how Keegan and Trevor insulted each other.For some reason, she felt like Trevor was more bothered about her not getting any money after the divorce than her. She figured that he had crossed his boundary as just her boss.In fact, she felt like Trevor had been paying extra attention to her ever since she started working for him. He also visited her very often to send her food and clothes in the company's name, so she could not reject them.However, Stella noticed that even though the other artists he recruited would also receive benefits from the company, the benefits would never be as generous as what she got, let alone having the boss himself doing everything personally.The way that Trevor treated her exceeded the line of how a boss should treat his employees. Normally, it would mean the boss intended to take advantage of his employee.However, Trevor never wanted anything from her.He would always take her to different restaurants to enjoy deli
