Chapter 136
“Hello, who’s calling?”
Stella heard Vermont’s serious voice through the phone. He did not sound as flirtatious as he usually
would.
Stella wondered, “I thought he had my number, no?
‘Did he not save it?’
She quickly responded without dwelling on that thought, “I’m Stella.”
Vermont was surprised as he said, “Oh, it’s you. How may I assist you?”
Stella became a little awkward after hearing how straightforward Vermont was. However, she knew she
had no time to waste as she got straight to the point, “There’s something I hope you could help me with.”
Vermont laughed. “Are you sure? Keegan is so much more capable than me.’
He implied that Stella should have asked for her husband’s help instead.
Stella responded without trying to hide anything, “We’re fighting, and I don’t really feel like talking to him.
Besides, you’re the only person who can help me with this.”
Vermont got curious. “Fighting? Because of what? Tell me more about it.”
Stella was at a loss for words.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe just could not figure out why Vermont would be interested in the reason why she was fighting with
Keegan.
“It’s nothing serious. He’s throwing a fit because I accidentally gave the socks that I bought for him to
Marshall.”
Vermont repeated what she said, “You gifted Marshall socks?”
“Yeah. He did me a huge favor at the banquet, so I bought him a tie as a token of appreciation. However,
I accidentally placed that pair of socks in there.”
“Oh,” Vermont said expressively, “Keegan is just being unreasonable at this point. It’s just a pair of socks
anyway.”
Stella was not trying to continue this topic with him. She knew that Vermont was Keegan’s childhood
friend. He would let Keegan know what she said if she were to tell him more.
“Mr. Snyder, let’s get back to business. I need your help.”
Vermont became friendlier after Stella told him what he wanted to know. “There’s no need to be so polite
with me. Just let me know what it is.”
Stella paused.

guess not only Keegan can change his mood in a second, but everyone in his circle can too.’ Then, she
briefly told Vermont about what happened in his jewelry store yesterday and the favor Albert asked.
Vermont already knew what happened yesterday. He even watched the surveillance cameras’ footage on
purpose.

They got that bangle from an auction in Uscus for about twenty million before he gave it to his mother as
a gift. However, his mother did not want it because she thought that it looked tacky. It was something that
he would not wear, so he put it on sale in his shop for thirty million.
The bangle had been in the shop for half a year before the manager told him it was finally sold. He only
stopped wondering who would be so foolish to buy such an expensive bangle when the manager told
him that Keegan’s wife helped him sell it.
He was very shocked after watching the cameras’ footage. He thought he was already very shameless
for making a profit out of the bangle, yet what Stella did was worse.
Stella just would not stop giving him surprises. He had no idea why he would think that Stella was just a
trophy wife.
“Are you telling me to accept Ms. Anne’s request to return the bangle?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmStella chuckled. “I would be talking to Keegan now if that’s what I wanted.”
She was not very close to Vermont, and she knew he would never do her this favor when such a huge
amount of money was involved. However, things would be different if Keegan talked to Vermont about it
instead.
Stella was very smart.
Vermont loved to deal with smart people. So, he smiled faintly and said, “What do you want me to do
then?’
Stella smirked. “Mr. Snyder, I guess you made a huge profit from that sale, right?”
Vermont had no idea what Stella was thinking, but he responded humbly like a businessman would, “Just
enough to cover my cost.”
‘What an evil businessman.’ Stella inwardly cursed before she said, “I guess Ms. Anne is considered one
of your top VIPs since she bought such an expensive piece of jewelry from your shop, right? Don’t you
think you should publicize such a huge sale like this and give back to your customers to maintain a
profitable relationship with them? It would only cost you a little to promote your business effectively. I
think it’s a pretty good marketing idea.”
Vermont immediately understood what she meant.
