Chapter 1550
Vermont had assumed that Corbin was the biggest hurdle in his relationship with Felicity. However, little did he know
that her resentful best friend was the real impediment.
He knew his lies would be exposed if he consulted Luke. He tried looking for a way to dissuade his eager girlfriend
from actively seeking medical attention for him. "Baby, we just consulted a doctor a few days ago. Let's finish one
course of treatment to see the results before deciding if we should consult Dr. Quinn. Each doctor has their own
approach, and I can’t follow both. What if their methods conflict with each other? It might worsen my condition."
Felicity hesitated upon hearing this.
"Dr. Quinn will be around for a while. Seeing him a few days later won't hurt," Stella casually added.
Vermont wanted to shut Stella's mouth right then and there. He found her to be just as annoying as Keegan.

treatment first."
Vermont forced a smile. "Whatever you say, baby."
After saying that, he glanced at Stella. She appeared calm. She lifted her hand to make a zipping motion at her
mouth, which signified that she would keep quiet. However, Vermont did not fully trust her. He had a feeling that
she had something planned.
Vermont knew he needed to come clean soon. Otherwise, his budding relationship with Felicity would face a major
test when Luke was involved.
The new product launch went smoothly. The designs from the creative team were well-received, and after the
event, many customers stayed to inquire further.
When Stella was bidding farewell to the guests, she unexpectedly spotted Kayla. It was unclear when she arrived,
but she was not dressed extravagantly like before. Instead, she wore a set of sportswear from a reputable brand.
Her hair was pulled back into a ponytail, presenting a simple, elegant look that almost made Stella fail to recognize
her.
Stella approached her and greeted, "Ms. Wilson, I didn't know you were here."
Kayla paused and raised her chin slightly. "I was just passing by, so I thought I'd come and take a look," she said
indifferently.
Stella smiled when she noticed that Kayla was wearing a pair of running shoes. 'I guess I had misunderstood the
situation.'
Just as she was thinking that, Jaylene walked over. "Kayla? I called you this morning, and you said you couldn't make
it."
"I was just passing by," Kayla replied.

Jaylene glanced at her attire and did not press the matter further. "Would you like to take a peek at the new designs
that were just released? Stella put a lot of effort into them, and they look pretty good. But, they're different from
the styles you bought before."
"I..." Kayla glanced at Stella.
She thought that Stella would be as enthusiastic as before, guiding her to take a look and giving her an introduction.
However, Stella did not do that.
Instead, Stella was looking at her phone and said, "Ms. Wilson, there's a resting area with tea service by the seats.
You can rest there if you feel tired. I have something to attend to, so I'll take my leave." After nodding slightly to the
two of them, she turned and left.
Kayla was momentarily stunned. 'She's just going to leave? Isn't she eager to make some sales? Isn't she going to
try and persuade me?'
"Kayla, let's go and take a look," Jaylene said, grabbing her hand.
Kayla agreed with a nod and let Jaylene lead the way.
Meanwhile, Stella did have something to attend to. The police were here.
