Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted

The copyright fee for short drama scripts wasn't actually worth much; twenty to thirty thousand was the standard price. Unless it was the kind with a blockbuster record, which could fetch over a hundred thousand. If one encountered a somewhat conscientious company, they might even throw in a little extra if the drama made money, but the heartless ones would typically only cough up two or three thousand as a buyout price.

Vermont chuckled, "Would you believe that with this copyright fee of yours, I can make a hundred times back?"

"But it still has to follow the market rate," Felicity believed it, but she kept her public and private matters separate. "Stella and Keegan trust US so much, investing so much money at once. We can't just pocket it. I want a hundred thousand. If I take more, I won’t be able to face Stella. Hurry up and change the contract for me."

Vermont found her upright stance adorable and teased, "That's how I've been tricking Keegan."

Felicity glared at him. "So if he cuts ties with you one day, you aren't innocent! I would never argue with my sister over money! If you keep this up, I'll have Stella demand the money back and find someone else to shoot! If

Vermont quickly grabbed her. "Come on, I was just teasing you. Can't I make changes, madam?"

With the contract amended and signed, Felicity's phone first received a remittance of over eighty thousand, the copyright fee after tax, then immediately followed by a transfer of thirteen million four hundred thousand from Vermont.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

She hesitated for a moment, then nervously asked, "Are you going bankrupt, that's why you're transferring assets?"

Vermont's eye twitched. "Bankrupt my foot! This is my betrothal gift to you!"

Felicity was stunned, then stood on tiptoe, holding Vermont's face, scrutinizing it for a long time with a serious expression. "Are you really my fiance? Where's my stingy fiance?"

Vermont lightly tapped her forehead with his middle finger. "When have I ever been stingy with you! Heartless woman!"

Rubbing her forehead, Felicity glared at him. "You have never? You tricked me into cooking for you, not even giving me a penny."

Vermont paused for a moment, then chuckled. "I gave you money, but you didn't want it, yet I still craved your cooking. I had to resort to some unconventional means."

He then hugged her. "Little bandit, let's visit your hometown soon and discuss with your mom about setting a date."

Felicity's forehead tapping halted, her ears turning red as she whispered," You haven't even taken me to meet your parents yet. Both families should be part of the discussion, we can't only consider my side."

Thinking of his messy family, Vermont felt a bit annoyed, but still replied," Alright, let's go this weekend."

Felicity nodded. "What do your parents like? I'll prepare some gifts."

Vermont thought for a moment, then unexpectedly said, "I'm not sure. I'll ask my brother later."

Felicity was speechless.

"What kind of daughter-in-law do your parents like?" Felicity began to worry in advance. "Should I dress more dignified?"

Vermont suddenly laughed and said, "No, you can't pull off dignified."

Felicity was annoyed. "Why not?"

"Do you remember last year on my birthday? You dressed like a little fairy, then as soon as we met, you hugged me like an octopus, calling my name with tears streaming down, who would think you were a poised young lady? n

Felicity punched him. "I was acting! I told Corbin you were my relative, who knew you'd show up! What could I do but act crazy? Who knew you were so foolish to believe it!"

Vermont glanced at her. "Who said I believed it? I just didn't expose you."

Felicity didn't believe him. "You didn't? Then why did you drink with me? You're the type who gets led by your desires. If someone wanted to deal with you at home, they could just send a beauty and you'd be done for."

Vermont looked her up and down, his gaze settling on her chest. "Where's the beauty?"
