Chapter 1102
Felicity wanted to ask Vermont when he became her boyfriend, but when she heard about the assets, she
immediately became curious and asked, "How many do you own, exactly?"
Vermont shrugged and calmly replied, "Around ten figures."
"Oh," Felicity said with disinterest. "That's average?
Vermont was puzzled. "Average?"
'An unemployed person is saying that my ten-figure assets are average? Is she so used to being poor that she has
no concept of money?'
Just as he was about to explain how much ten figures of assets were, Felicity said, “There's quite a difference
between Keegan's assets and yours. Before the divorce, Keegan told Stella that he would give her a billion dollars,
which is ten figures, yet you only own ten figures?"
This left Vermont speechless. "I'm only talking about real estate and liquid assets. I haven't included any stocks or
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtinvestments yet!" he argued.
"Is your total as much as Keegan's, then?"
Vermont went quiet. He then gritted his teeth and defended himself. "I started my business from scratch while
Keegan had the wealth of his family."
Hearing that, Felicity nodded. "Your family's financials aren't comparable to Keegan's, yet he's still friends with you.
Hmm. This makes him seem rather easygoing, huh? And, I thought the rich discriminated against those who
weren't from the same class as them."
Vermont was taken aback by Felicity's words. 'How is he getting the praise when I literally started from the ground
up? ' he thought. 'I guess having a great friend isn't always a good thing, especially when your crush keeps
comparing the two of you.’
Felicity quickly pointed out the cuts and edits that were made in the audio, attached a description, and sent the
newly processed clip to a few of her friends who had a following on Facebook. She also asked them to help spread
the word. However, all of them brushed off the idea of posting something like that, as they feared that they would
be boycotted. They advised her to wait until everything subsided before making such a post.
'We have to take advantage of the situation and try to clear Stella's name before the trend dies down. Who would
care about the audio when they've already pinned her as the perpetrator if we wait?' Felicity was getting anxious as
she tried to convince her friends to help her.
Vermont saw how desperate she was. He reached out to grab her phone and deleted those people from her friend
list one by one. Felicity's face changed when she realized what he had done. She got up, snatched her phone back,
and angrily said, "Why did you remove my friends?!"
"You call those friends?" Vermont's voice was cold. "They're
marketing accounts, yet they don't know what's the best time to make some noise? There's only one reason for
their excuses. I bet they received some sort of payment from the other party. That's why they're not willing to help
you release the audio."
Felicity was stunned after hearing Vermont's prediction. "I only know these people. I don't know who to ask for help
anymore. Plus, I've helped them before. Maybe they'll open up their hearts if I beg."

said while he showed her a number. "Add this person on WhatsApp and send the video to him. You can send him
any follow-ups if you want. He'll help you deal with it."
Felicity clicked on the person's profile and saw that he was called "S’. He had a picture of a golden retriever with a
flower in its mouth as his profile picture. "Who's this?" she asked.
"Yosef Yarden."
Felicity was shocked when she heard that name. 'The top PR manager in the industry?! He has handled so many
cases regarding public relations!'
A few years ago, a celebrity came out to clear things up about an illegitimate child. Yosef was the one who
suggested coming out to the public while there was an ongoing case about another celebrity who allegedly abused
and abandoned their child. The netizens praised the star who had the illegitimate child for taking responsibility
rather
than just abandoning the kid. Soon, it became a multimillion dollar PR case, and Yosef Yarden rose to fame.
Since he did not lack wealth, one would need to have the right connections to get in touch with a PR manager like
him. Stella's situation was a piece of cake compared to the cases that Yosef had dealt with before. This meant that
Felicity would not have to beg her so-called friends to help her out.
Felicity was excited. "D-Do you think he would accept my request?"
