Chapter 2013
Vermont was not having it. He retorted: [They teamed up to provoke me, yet you don't allow me to get
angry? You're my girlfriend, be on my side.]
Felicity fired back: [What did they do to provoke you? Stella was just sharing the good news with you.
Look at how petty you are!]
Vermont stopped texting right away.
'Telling good news, my foot! Keegan was just being all fake and annoying. I've known him for ages, and
I'm sure Stella was up to the same tricks!' Vermont thought, feeling really angry.
On the flip side, Felicity had a different take. 'Is Keegan okay now? I was thinking of throwing a brick at
his head to help him remember faster.'
Stella thought about it and decided not to tell them about Keegan regaining his memory for nownovelbin
because Felicity could never keep a secret, and she was worried that she would mess things up for
them.
So, she replied: [No, he still can't remember anything now. He just doesn't want anyone gossiping
about my growing belly, so we decided to get a marriage certificate first.]
Felicity's happy face suddenly went away. [He's just worried that you'll run away with his babies, so
he's using the marriage certificate to tie you down! What a crafty scum!]
Stella sighed and typed: [There's nothing I can do since he lost his memory. Let's just hope that he'll
start remembering things in the future, especially now that we have children.]
Vermont read their chat and noticed how Stella fooled Felicity. Stella acted quite differently before and
after learning that Keegan got his memory back.
Vermont recalled her saying, before she knew about Keegan's memory," Even if he can't remember
me, I'll make him fall in love with me again. I'm not going to marry anyone else!" Now that she knew
Keegan had recovered his memory, she said, "There's nothing I can do since he lost his memory."
Vermont considered exposing her lie, but he thought Keegan might get off too easily. So, he held back
and silently schemed his "revenge." Soon, a plan formed in his mind.
Meanwhile, after Jaylene took a shower, she headed to Caline.
Arriving at the office, she went straight to Darice's office and pushed the door open without knocking.
Darcie was in a meeting with several managers from different departments, and the sudden sound
shocked all of them. Darcie raised her gaze and frowned. "Don't you know how to knock before
entering? Where are your manners?"
One of the managers quickly tried to smooth things over, "Mrs. Saun, young people now have their
ways of doing things. There's no need to be so harsh on her. Jaylene, you've gotten so much prettier.
You were still in high school when I first saw you. You grew so much!"
Jaylene was in a bad mood and felt extremely repulsed by such flattery.
So, she said coldly, "Don't try to flatter me. Do I even know you?"
The manager's expression stiffened, looking somewhat displeased.
With a cold face, Darcie said, "What has gotten into you so early in the morning? Say sorry to Mr.
Morgan now!"
Jaylene showed no sign of wanting to apologize. Seeing that Darcie was going to explode in anger,
Aubrey quickly stood up and said, "Jaylene, let me take you to the lounge first. Mrs. Saun still has
some work to handle."
Jaylene had purposely come here to confront Darcie, but when she was met with her icy gaze, she
became somewhat timid. She nodded with her fists clenched and followed Aubrey to the lounge.
Half an hour later, when Darice was done with her work, she went to the lounge.
Jaylene was sitting on the sofa, obsessively scrolling through photos of Keegan. Upon hearing the door
opening, she immediately kept her phone away and greeted, "Mom."
Darcie replied calmly, ‘ Not only that you didn't knock just now, but you also didn't greet anyone in the
room. When did you become so disrespectful?"
Jaylene frowned. "They’re all working under you. What's the big deal?"
Darcie's expression turned displeased. "Jaylene Saun, those are the people I spent tremendous effort
roping in for you. When Stella comes to Caline, they'll be the ones supporting you. Yet, you just
offended one of them for no reason!"
Jaylene snorted. "Mom, it's just Stella. Do you have to make such a big fuss over it? She has no
experience in perfumery. If she wants to take over Caline, she's got to earn the respect of everyone
working in the company first."
