Chapter 1437
"Well, we can’t just stand by and watch as Jaylene tries to put herself between our best friends, can we? Sure,
Keegan loves Stella and wouldn't fall for her, but why should we give that annoying little thing a chance to try? I
have to keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn't cause any trouble. It would be best to teach her a little
lesson and let her know she can't just come into other people's territory!”
Vermont's heart turned cold when he heard that. Though he and Felicity were in a relationship, it seemed she did
not care much for her boyfriend compared to her best friend.
'My ex-girlfriends were always very protective of me. Although I'm not one to cheat, plenty of women are
interested in me because I'm so attractive.' Vermont's exes loved to pick a fight with him whenever he was friendly

'It seems like I've chosen poorly this time. Felicity is completely indifferent to women who approach me. She would
even be kind enough to step aside...’
Vermont gradually realized that he had pressured Felicity into confessing her feelings. She might not like him as
much as he thought.
'If she actually likes me, she would be jealous.'
The more Vermont pondered about it, the more he felt it was true. His expression grew tense.
Unaware of Vermont's thoughts, Felicity noticed Jaylene being praised and admired by a group of socialites. "She's
probably just showing off again!" She snorted.
Felicity put her cup down and declared, "I need to go over there and see what they're talking about."
But just as she stood up, Vermont grabbed her wrist. Felicity was stunned. "What's wrong?" She asked.
Vermont hesitated and said, "Miss bandit, do you... Do you like me?"
Taken aback, Felicity reached out to touch Vermont's forehead. "Do you have a fever or something? What's gotten
into you?"
Vermont took her hand and looked at her with a serious gaze. "Answer me, please..."
Felicity felt puzzled. "Would I date you if I don’t like you? Why would I still stay with you after knowing you have
erectile dysfunction if I don't like you?"
Vermont fell silent for a moment. "Then, why do you seem fine with the idea of other girls fawning all over me?"
His words rendered Felicity speechless. She poked his forehead and said, "How can you still be clueless after being
in so many relationships? I was just joking."
"I'll kill anyone who dares come in between us!" She added.

Vermont wrapped his arms around Felicity's waist and asked, "Do you actually like me?"
Annoyed by Vermont’s queries, Felicity said, "Get lost! Don't distract me from my mission."
She then went over to eavesdrop on Jaylene's group with a wine glass in her hand.
As she approached them, she heard someone say, "Mrs. Kane Sr. seems to like you a lot, Jaylene. I saw her smiling
the whole time you two were talking."
"Grandma is just a very nice person. She acts that way with everyone," Jaylene laughed.
"Grandma? Oh, you two sound close!"
"Well, I've been calling her that since I was a child. It's just a habit.”
"That's good. It means you won't have to get used to calling her that when you marry into the family."
The group burst into laughter as they teased and joked around. It was clear that Jaylene's affection for Keegan was
no secret among her friends.
As they chatted, someone nearby said, "Ms. Saun, your earring is loose."
