Chapter 571


    Chapter 571


    The students in Vermont''s ss all came from upper-ss families, and each was richer than the other.


    For example, Vermont''s parents ran a seafood business and supplied half of the hotels in Rivera.


    Some children at school whose families owned the hotels said he was a stinky fishmonger.


    They deliberately formed cliques to iste him.


    But a few of them never joined in; one was Keegan, and the other was Marshall.


    The two were so close that it seemed like they wore the same pair of pants.


    At first, Vermont did not want to associate with the two guys after being bullied by those so-called


    aristocrats.


    ‘What a bunch of assholes.You''re all just nepotism babies," Vermont thought.


    Once, a school bully from the next ss maliciously shoved Keegan to the ground while they were on


    the basketball court.


    He broke his leg, and Marshall started to fight the kid on the spot.


    The bully was tall and robust.


    Marshall had not hit puberty then, so he looked rtively thin and frail.


    He did not seem like a match for the bully, but he was ruthless; he grabbed a brick and smashed it into


    the kid''s head.


    The kid immediately bled, and chaos erupted.


    Keegan had no time to tend to his leg.


    Instead, he snatched the brick from Marshall''s hand and quickly pulled him away.


    However, when they were caught, both said that they were the ones who smashed the kid''s head.

    Several people at the scene had witnessed the incident, but no one dared toe forward and testify.


    In the end, the two of them got demerit.


    Vermont''s view toward kids from aristocratic families then changed after the incident.


    He realized that not all of them were assholes.


    Some, like Keegan and Marshall, were extremely loyal to each other.


    So he took the initiative to talk to them and started following them daily.


    Vermont was a wild child who grew up in a small town and could alwayse up with fun things to


    y with.


    Keegan was cold to him at first, but things quickly took a turn.


    The three of them became close after some time.


    However, Vermont always felt that Keegan and Marshall''s rtionship was better than Keegan''s and


    his.


    So, it was strange to him that they fought.


    "Aren''t we all adults here? Tell Marshall to go to the barter, and we''ll have a drink or two.Remember


    that he was the one who helped settle things when the group of people caused trouble at the


    hospital.He also helped out during your ex-mother-inw''s funeral.He ran back and forth and even


    wrote the obituary.You, the husband, should have been the one to do all that.You have to thank him."


    The more Vermont talked about it, the worse Keegan felt.


    "Let''s talk about thister," he said sullenly.


    On the other hand, Ste could not buy the house without Keegan there.


    Feeling guilty, she gave the realtor 500 dors to put the transaction on hold.


    Detective Karl, however, had made progress.


    He had found out and contacted the previous driver of the Jewell family.


    Half a year after the car ident, the driver resigned and was unemployed in his hometown.


    But he has the money to renovate his house.


    Their family was quite wealthy in the local area.


    So despite having no job, he had money to spend; this alone was intriguing.


    Detective Karl also investigated another taxi that had gotten into an ident that year.


    However, the findings were not satisfactory.


    After receiving thepensation, the driver and the passenger''s family left Rivera., He tried many


    ways to contact them but failed to trace their whereabouts.


    It was like they had just vanished…
