Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted by Eleven Jewell

Chapter 1306
Hylda glanced inside the house and saw Xenia pouring a glass of water. She retracted her gaze and lowered her voice, "We
probably shouldn’t discuss Rainee's car accident here, right?”
Albert froze when he heard that. "What kind of nonsense are you spewing?” He asked angrily.
Hylda's face grew cold as she said, "I'll be waiting for you in the car downstairs. Whether you decide to join me is entirely up to
you." With that, she turned and left.
Albert remained in a state of uncertainty. 'Is this woman losing her sanity? Did she truly believe she could use this matter to
blackmail me? Does she not realize that she was an accomplice?' He thought.
His expression changed several times before he picked up his coat and turned to Xenia. "I need to step out for a moment."
Xenia quickly approached him and said, "But didn't you say we would have dinner together? Why are you leaving now that she
showed up?"
'TH just have a brief conversation with her and return shortly. " Albert patted her hand and said.
"What do you two have to talk about? Why can't you just talk in here?"
"It's about the company. Don't worry. I'll be back soon."
Though Xenia was not pleased, she did not press the matter. Instead, she helped him slip into his coat and saw him off.
In Apartment 902 at Clouditude International, Felicity emerged from the bedroom wearing a pink flared dress. She twirled around
in front of Vermont and asked, "What do you think of this?"
Vermont rubbed his chin thoughtfully and shook his head once again, "It looks a little too... cutesy."
Felicity's face darkened. ‘This is the eighth outfit I've put on, and you've rejected every single one. Do I really look that bad in
everything?"
Vermont laughed and said, "Everything looks lovely on you in my eyes. It's just that the choices might not be the best fit for the
occasion."

"But these are the only clothes I have," Felicity grumbled. "I can't simply buy a new outfit just for a birthday party, can I? If it were
Stella's birthday, I'd do it without a doubt. But I'm not going to do the same for that wolf in sheep's clothing."
Vermont was caught off guard. "Did you just refer to Jaylene as a wolf in sheep's clothing?"
Felicity nodded. "Don't you think she appears innocent on the outside but is actually deceitful and manipulative underneath? She
tried to steal Stella's limelight during our last event. Like, Stella literally saved her. Who would do that
to the person who saved them?"
Vermont was both amused and exasperated. "Do you have to come up with a name for everyone you encounter?"
"I'm just capturing their essence. It makes it easier for me to come up with personalities for my fictional characters," Felicity
replied earnestly.
Vermont squinted slightly and said, "Okay, so what's the essence of the nickname—Stinky Cucumber?"
"It carries the meaning of..." Felicity paused, then cast a glance toward his lower half. "...Restlessness," she continued, referring
to the time when Vermont was still a playboy.
Vermont was a little lost for words. Having said that, he did not mind playing along with Felicity. "Welp, it's well-behaved now.
Forever."
Vermont's words rendered Felicity speechless. 'God, I shouldn't have made that comment,' she thought.
Then, she chuckled, "I had someone read your fortune yesterday. They said you'd have many children and grandchildren. The
current situation of your stinky cucumber is only temporary."
Vermont glanced at her and said, "I guess I'd have to thank you in advance."
Felicity did not understand the meaning behind his appreciation. "For what? For taking care of you these past few months? I
think you should thank your future wife."
Vermont laughed and said nothing. After a while, he suddenly asked, "By the way, what did you get me for my birthday again?"
Felicity's gaze wandered as she said, "I think it was a mug.”

"No. Keegan gave me the mug," Vermont said with no emotion.
"Then, I must have remembered wrong." Felicity pretended to think about it and said, "It was a watch."
Vermont remained expressionless. "No. The watch was from Marshall."
"Then..."
Vermont clenched his teeth and cut her off, "Did you not get me a birthday gift?"
