Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 384

Chapter 384

Vermont shrugged her away once more. Felicity’s muscles, on the other hand, did not fail her as she hugged Vermont’s waist once more, not letting go no matter how hard he tried to shrug her off. If Felicity were to do this to Keegan, he would definitely push her away in a rough manner. Vermont, on the other hand, was different. He was worried that he would offend some unknown rich heiress if he were to use brute force.

He patted Felicity’s shoulders and smiled at her. “At least let me have a look at you to see how you’ve changed.”

‘Wouldn’t I be giving the game away if you see my face?’ Felicity thought. She snuggled into his chest and replied, “Don’t make fun of me, Vermont. I’d be embarrassed.”

Vermont thought to himself, ‘This isn’t a prank, right? Short stature, stubby legs, and such a strong grip?’

Corbin, who was surprised at them being intimate, asked, “Are you two childhood friends?”

“We have only mingled for a short period.”

Felicity was worried that Vermont would expose her and quickly tried to find an excuse to leave the conversation. “Happy Birthday, Vermont. You two should continue your discussion. I’m heading to the ladies’ room.”

Not giving Vermont a chance to react, she released him and dove straight into the crowd. Vermont still could not figure out who Felicity was, except for the exceptionally bright eyes of hers while she was talking to Corbin.

Corbin asked, “Vermont, who is she?”

‘How would I know who she is?’ Vermont thought.

In the end, Vermont gave an excuse. “A distant relative.”

Corbin smiled. “She’s quite charming.”

Entering the venue would not be easy with the gift registration setup. It was not a loss to him, since it would be difficult for everyone to bring out a gift of appropriate value. It would be even better for him if more were to come.

“Sigh. Since you’re all arriving together, I would have come to get you guys right away if you had given me a call,” said Vermont.

Keegan, who could not be bothered to retort, stayed silent.

Corbin eyed the Kane couple. His gaze stayed on Stella for a while before he moved toward them with his glass in hand. “Mr. Kane, it’s been a while.”

Stella was astonished. ‘Doctor Steven knows Keegan?! Come to think of it, it wouldn’t be natural for someone not to know Keegan when they can attend Vermont’s birthday party.’

Keegan gave a lukewarm nod as a reply.
