Chapter 1399


    Chapter 1399


    Vermont was an incredibly smart individual. After being rejected by Felicity, he was genuinely sad and


    hurt. He frequented bars to drown his sorrows and avoided going home so he would not have to face


    her. Every time he saw her, his heart would flutter, and he would be reminded of the rejection.


    Vermont could employ hundreds of strategies to win her over, but they would all be meaningless. He


    wanted Felicity to be in a rtionship with him willingly. However, she did not want that. Vermont


    understood that no amount of effort could change herck of attraction toward him.


    During that time, he reasoned with himself to let go of his feelings since it was not mutual. He stayed


    away from Felicity and tried to stop thinking about her.


    However, after waking up at the police station following a night of heavy drinking one day, he heard


    from the police that he had brought another woman home. Felicity had been so furious that she called


    the police. This led him to form a conjecture.


    Maybe she does have feelings for me after all.’


    The idea was exhrating. Vermont quickly recovered from his heartbreak and initiated a n to make


    Felicity admit her own emotions.


    Vermont did this by maintaining a respectful distance and only engaging in polite conversations. He


    also introduced her to his gaming partner. He even had ns to put on a show with an actor.


    Once Felicity responded to any of these tactics, he would be certain of her feelings for him. He would


    never let go, even if she did not admit it verbally.


    However, Felicity was more impatient than he thought. ‘I can’t believe she exposed herself after


    someone called me” hubby” a few times.’


    After they officially became a couple, Felicity shared many things with him. She admitted that after


    rejecting him, she regretted it. That day at the police station, she had intended to give the rtionship a


    chance, but he went to escort Emily. Felicity was mad and refused to speak to him.


    Upon learning this, Vermont deeply regretted his actions. He would not have gone through such a


    lengthy approach if he had known. He knew his actions were hical, but it was the quickest and


    most effective way to help Felicity realize her own feelings. If she did not care about what was


    happening, he would have stopped and never bothered her again.


    Fortunately, she did care.


    Thinking of this, Vermont smiled and said, “I would miss the boat if I had been any more reserved in my


    pursuit.” He paused for a moment and added, “Let’s break up. I don’t want my girlfriend to


    misunderstand.”


    Vermont’s gaming partner disyed a disgusted expression and said, “I wouldn’t have agreed to


    couple up with you if it weren’t forpleting the in-game mission. Get lost, you scumbag!”


    With that, he hung up the phone.


    Meanwhile, Albert had never imagined that he would be brought in for questioning at the police station


    regarding Rainee’s car ident seven years ago.


    He sat in the interrogation room and nervously rubbed his knees. He was anxious, scared, and


    overwhelmed by a whirlwind of emotions.

    At times, he wondered how much Hylda had disclosed to the police. At other times, he considered that


    the ident from seven years ago had been meticulously concealed.’ There isn’t any concrete


    evidence to incriminate me. Could the police truly use me based on Hylda’s testimony?’


    Following that, he mulled over Hylda’s deceitful character. She was implicated in a murder case, which


    was a capital offense. ‘Given her personality, she might just throw someone under the bus. Did she


    know I had informed the police about her connection with Walter? No one else knows what happened


    back then except for her,’ thought Albert.
