Chapter 1573
There was no doubt that Ste’s actions were deliberate. She had taken the time to investigate the
prices of these gemstone scraps and knew that their raw
materials were of high quality. The price for one bag of scraps was at least 200 -300 thousand dors
higher than what Chris was selling them for.
Naturally, Ste suspected Chris of taking a cut of the profit. She even sent someone specifically to the
factory to gather information. However, the factory
manager was tight-lipped. He insisted that every batch of material was different,
so the prices varied. He would not even give a final quote until he saw the goods. The manager spoke in
vague terms the whole time.

As the jewelry store manager, Chris lived in a luxury vi worth over twenty million dors in Rivera. His
children attended prestigious schools; he even had
spare money to support a mistress. All this couldn’t possibly be sustained by his sry alone. His wife
was a full-time homemaker, and their familial background
wasn’t exceptionally affluent. Therefore, Ste was sure that Chris was skimming off their gains.
Unable to find concrete evidence and struggling to break his co-conspirators’ silence, Ste decided to
forge her own path. She would personally handle the
recycling, processing, and selling of the scraps herself.
She wondered how long Chris could keep up with his lifestyle with a sixty thousand dor mortgage and
school fees exceeding thirty thousand monthly.
Ste and Vermont’s emerce venture was named FeCity. Upon learning of the name registered
by Vermont, Ste immediately considered revoking it.
However, Vermont seemed rather pleased by it, “It’s abination of your name and Felicity’s. It really
highlights your friendship!”
“Do you really think it’s a fitting name for a jewelry brand?” Ste could not help but scoff.
“People buy stuff based on quality, not the brand’s name. Besides, it has a ring to it, right, miss bandit?”
Vermont turned to Felicity and asked.
Felicity was also visibly dissatisfied, “Oh, wow. You’re so proficient ating up with names,” she replied
sarcastically.
“Okay. So you don’t like it.” Vermont pondered for a moment. “How about Hallicity?”
“Seriously?” Felicity ground her teeth, “Why in the world does it have to be abination of our names?”
Vermont did not know what to say, “I asked for suggestions in the group, and you all said I could choose
whatever. Yet none of you are satisfied now that I’ve
chosen a name. You people are so hard to please,” He grumbled.
Felicity recalled the name Vermont had given his kitten and sighed, “It’s okay. I get that you’re not a
schr. It’s fine if you don’t have a wide range of
vocabry.”
Her words left Vermont dumbfounded.
Keegan stared at the logo briefly before saying, “Honestly, it doesn’t sound too bad. At least it’s easy to
remember.”
Ste pursed her lips and said, “Thanks for the input, honey.”
Keegan was being serious. The unconventional store name quickly attracted a surge of attention.
Everyone was curious about what kind of products they were
selling. Furthermore, the host Vermont recruited was skilled at retaining online viewers. They were highly
professional and could handle the influx of traffic
during the live stream.
With a diverse range of products offered at exceptionallypetitive prices, the business conversion
rate was high. After three days, the operation exploded,
and sales revenue grew exponentially.
Vermont gazed at the refreshing transaction notifications in the background, his eyes gleaming with
eagerness, “No wonder no one wants to be an actor
anymore. They’d rather be live hosts and sell things online. This is where all the money is at!”
“You’re so money-minded!” said Felicity.
Vermont wrapped his arm around her waist and said, “Baby, once I’ve made enough money for the
dowry, we’ll have a grand wedding ceremony. I’ll even
bring you home in a splendid bridal carriage.”
Felicity fell silent and then said, “Stop fooling around!”
FeCity soared up the jewelry bestsellers list in less than two weeks. After factoring in costs, the profit
margin was still around thirty percent. Ste could
hear the sound of money pouring into her bank ount.
That evening, Ste attended an acquaintance’s baby shower with Keegan and had quite a bit to drink.
She was feeling a bit light-headed as she walked. She
kept tugging Keegan along and chatted away, “Honey, do you know how much money I’ve made
recently?”
Looking at her rosy cheeks, Keegan’s heart softened. He murmured, “A hundred million dors?”
“Mmm- No. That’s not it. Take another guess.”
After a moment of thought, Keegan said, “Three hundred thousand dors?”
“No. Go higher.”
