Chapter 680
The corner of Felicity’s mouth twitched. "I don't have the time to play video games with you. I have to send Stella to dance
practice, remember?" With that said, she turned around and went to open the door. But somehow, she could not turn the
doorknob.
Felicity stared at Vermont and said, "Open the door." He was already sitting on the sofa as he replied, "I'm sure you're smart,
miss bandit. Your bestie has a driver. You don't have to tag along this time. Don't be a third wheel."
As Vermont said that, he patted the spot next to him and said, "Play video games with me, and I'll bring you shopping later."
Felicity understood what he meant by all that. "You told Keegan about Stella's training?"
Vermont's eyes curved as he said, "See, I knew you were smart." Felicity turned green. She grabbed a throw pillow and hit him
with it, "You jerk! I told you about the practice because I trusted you; how dare you betray me?! God, I even cook for you! I
should have just fed the food to the dogs!”
Vermont knew there was no running for her, so he grabbed her wrist and pressed her against the sofa under him. "Being loyal is
a good thing, miss bandit. But sometimes, you have to stop meddling, got it?" "If Stella doesn't like Keegan, she can reject him
herself. You don't have to reject him for her. You're in the entertainment business; you should know how challenging it would
have been for someone like her to make a name for herself without Keegan's help." "Fuck you!” Felicity gritted her teeth and
said. "Stella has the looks and the potential for this. She's going to be a star sooner or later!"
Vermont chuckled, "Many people in the industry have the looks and the potential to make it big, but not many could achieve
stardom. Do you really think it's possible to succeed in this place without resorting to different means? Name one person who
became famous without any deception whatsoever."
Felicity bit her lip and said nothing.
"The entertainment industry is no fairy tale, and no one becomes famous with a normal background. You and I know how they do
it. Why did Stella get signed to Elegant Media? Do you really think that Trevor sees potential in her? No. It's because Keegan
poured money into the company."
Felicity was dissatisfied. "So what you're saying is that Stella would not make it if it weren't for Keegan?" "That's not what I
meant," Vermont said in a low voice. "I'm just saying that there are easier ways to do things."
In reality, Felicity agreed with Vermont's statement. She had been in the circle for a long time and had witnessed a lot over the
years. There used to be an actress who was good-looking and capable, but she was always in the middle of the list because she
did not want to get dirty. Suddenly, she started getting more important roles and gradually became more popular. She began
receiving different awards, sponsors, brand deals, and other resources. Then, rumors spread in the circle that she had a sugar
daddy. It was not a big deal since it was fairly common in the industry.
Felicity had just entered the field then and found it difficult to accept why powerful people had to rely on this method to reach the
top. Later, a director told her that it was how things were done. "People don't just get famous through potential and hard work.
Those without a good background would never make a mark in this world if they stayed clean," he said. "That's why most of
them would do whatever it takes to be at the top."
Stella's beauty, as Vermont said, meant nothing in this industry if no one was sponsoring her. Felicity was about to say
something when she heard a "click." She turned around, and her face darkened. Vermont found a pair of handcuffs out of
nowhere and had handcuffed them together, i
He smiled and said, "You're not leaving this place today, no matter what. You're stuck with Officer Snyder!" "It's illegal to
impersonate a police officer, you know!" Felicity gritted her teeth.
Vermont pinched her cheeks and laughed, "Call 911 then. I'm sure the police wouldn't mind a little fun."
