Chapter 1828


    Felicity was not naive. Usually, hearing such words would have triggered her anger. However, she


    managed to keep her cool due to Vermont’s advice.


    If this had happened elsewhere, Felicity would have unleashed a verbal storm on Jaylene without a


    second thought. Yet, surrounded by Ste’s acquaintances, Felicity exercised restraint to avoid


    embarrassing her friend.


    “Ms. Saun, you, too, have a unique taste. Most of my friends prefer single and unmarried individuals.


    This is the first time I’ve encountered someone who appreciates divorced men with girlfriends.” ’


    Jaylene’s expression stiffened.


    Felicity batted her eyshes and continued, “Is this a particr preference of yours? I happen to know


    quite a few divorced men. Do you want me to introduce them to you? Though, my friends have higher


    standards. It might not work out between you two if they have girlfriends. Of course, some with


    questionable morals might be more to your liking.


    Jaylene’s face darkened.


    Felicity expected Jaylene to make a scene and reveal her true colors to everyone. However, Jaylene


    only clenched her fists and tried to control her emotions. Red-eyed, she said, “I don’t understand why


    you harbor such strong ill will toward me, Ms. Thompson. Is it because of Ste? If she has any


    grievances against me, she can express them directly. There’s no need to have her friend say these


    things to me. I’ve always believed that Keegan’s safety is more important than anything. I never


    expected Ste to make such a big deal out of this.”


    The buzzing crowd surrounding them began to murmur in response to Jaylene’s words. The discussion


    centered on Ste being overly petty.


    To them, Jaylene had saved Keegan’s life, yet Ste seemed unable to ept that. Not only was she


    jealous of Jaylene and Keegan, but she even had her friend criticize her.


    Felicity’s lips twitched.


    Never in her life had she encountered a hypocrite like Jaylene, whose agenda went beyond bringing


    Ste down and extended to creating conflict in their rtionship.


    “You pretentious bi-“


    Before Felicity couldplete her sentence, Vermont pinched her cheeks and said, “Everything always


    comes out wrong when you say it. Ms. Saun doesn’t need your help to find a partner. Keegan is right


    here, isn’t he?”


    Felicity was about to protest, but Vermont continued, “Did you forget what Keegan posted on his social


    media? He treats Ms. Saun like a sister. He’d help her find a partner if she’s looking. You don’t need to


    do anything.”


    Felicity’s gaze shifted, and she stopped resisting.


    However, Jaylene’s expression was a vivid disy of mixed emotions.


    A few days ago, screenshots of Keegan’s post had circted in their group. His message was clear-he


    and Jaylene stood no chance.


    When Jaylene saw the screenshot, she felt like she had been pped in the face. She felt worse now


    that Vermont was bringing it up in front of so many people.


    Jaylene’s lips quivered, and herplexion turned unpleasant.


    She looked at Keegan, hoping for some reassurance, but he rubbed his temples, appearing rather


    ufortable. Seeing Jaylene looking over, he stood up and said, “Jaylene, excuse me for a moment. I


    need to go to the restroom.”


    Jaylene had no choice but to swallow her grievances. “Be careful, Keegan,” she said.


    Keegan responded and left.


    “Mr. Snyder, have you had too much to drink? Shall I support you?” Felicity mimicked Jaylene’s tone and


    asked Vermont.


    Vermont draped his arm over her shoulder, smiling, “You’re so strong. Why don’t you just carry me?”This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.
