    Felicity scoffed. “Fine, I’ll listen to you this time.”


    After looking at her obedient demeanor, Vermont could not help but lean in to give her a peck on the


    cheek.


    Felicity was startled. She was about to cover her face, but Vermont grabbed her hand. “My childhood


    friends are looking at us from over there. Don’t overreact, or we’re going to raise suspicion.”


    She reluctantly withdrew her hand from her face and red at him, “Can you at least give me a heads-


    up next time if you’re going to do that? You scared me!”


    Naturally, Vermont interpreted that as Felicity was okay with him kissing her.


    So, he responded swiftly, “Sure.”


    Felicity stopped dwelling on it after seeing how sincere he was. However, she felt a burning sensation


    on her cheek where Vermont kissed her, which was odd.


    As for the birthday girl, Jaylene was still very popr among the guests.


    As soon as Keegan and Trevor arrived, the other gentlemen pulled them over for a chat. Ste stood in


    ce, wondering if she would disturb Felicity’s dating time with Vermont if she were to follow her. Then,


    Jaylene approached her.


    She grabbed Ste’s hand and said in a gentle tone, “Ste, let me introduce some friends to you.”


    Ste wanted to reject her as she had no interest in knowing Aurora’s friends.


    However, it was her birthday. She thought that it would be inappropriate to turn her down. So, she


    followed Jaylene anyway.


    Jaylene’s friends frowned as soon as they saw hering over with Ste.


    “Jaylene, why did you bring her here?”


    Jaylene paused. “Do you guys know her?”


    One of them sneered. “Of course, she’s Mrs. Kane-Ah, I mean Ms. Jewell. Ms. Jewell is very popr in


    the industry.


    Aurora’s ex-sister-inw, right? We’ve met a few times.”


    “She’s a superstar now. You should be more polite when speaking about her.”


    “Superstar? She’s just an overrated actress. She needs to remember her roots.”


    “That’s right. What’s there to be proud of?”


    Jaylene looked a little awkward as she said in a deep voice, ’ Ladies, please don’t say something like


    that. Ste is my guest.”


    Obviously, none of them took her words seriously.


    “Guest? Are you sure she’s not here to perform? Sigh. Ste Jewell, you graduated from the theater


    department, right? Are you going to dance or y the piano for uster?”

    “That’s a good idea. Theizens always im that she’s very good at acting. She should perform a


    short skit and entertain us.”


    Everyoneughed.


    Jaylene looked even more awkward, but Ste was somewhat nonchnt.


    She thought to herself. ‘Now I know why Felicity always said that I’m bad at detecting the bitch in


    someone. I’ve never thought that Jaylene could be someone like this at all.’


    Ste had always thought that although she did not know Jaylene very well, they had no conflict of


    interest with each other. So, there was no reason for Jaylene to give her problems.


    However, it seemed like the conflict between them was enormous. Not only that they have a conflict


    involving family and status, but also the person they both love.


    That was why Ste figured that Jaylene would definitely hold grudges against her.


    She smiled and said as she thought about that. “If any of you are interested, I’ll be performing at Rivera


    Theater for the y, ‘Thunderstorm,’ on the 27th of every month. You’re all wee toe.”


    Jaylene’s friend snorted. “Are you here to promote your y? Are you that desperate for money? Can’t


    you just attend someone else’s birthday party without trying to sell tickets to your own y?”


    Ste swept her gaze across that person as if she was an ignorant piece of trash. “Of course. Why


    would I want to perform for you for free?”
