Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted

She was livid, so in the dead of night, she fed all those delicious treats to the family dog, Cooper. Her grandma, angry, pointed at her and accused her of being malicious, saying she wasn't acting like a proper girl and would struggle to find a husband when she grew up.

During every meal, her cousin would dig through the dishes with his chopsticks before the adults arrived. Her grandparents never uttered a word. But one time, she reached for a chicken leg from the plate and got caught by her grandma, who promptly dragged her in front of her father, accusing her of being a "starving ghost reincarnate."

Her father glanced at her, frowned, and said, "Where are your manners? Who told you to touch the dishes before the elders? Why can't you wait? Always thinking about food, what kind of future will you have? I shouldn't have allowed your mother to raise you!"

That was the first time she found her father so distasteful.

She had intended to offer him that chicken leg. If she hadn't taken it, her grandma would have given both to her cousin. Her mother always said her father was studying so hard, he needed to eat well.

She didn't know what was nutritious, so she asked her cousin, who snapped off a chicken leg and handed it to her, saying, "Chicken legs are nutritious; eating them will make you tall and smart like me."

She wasn't greedy, but everyone said she was. Gluttony seemed like a cardinal sin.

But when Vermont saw her sharing a piece of foie gras with a child, all he could think was, what evil intentions could a glutton have? People were truly different from one another.

"Hey, what's bothering you?" Vermont called out to her, noticing her reddened eyes and sounding concerned.

Felicity snapped out of her reverie and grabbed his hand, asking, "So were you deliberately trying to get me drunk that night?"

Vermont chuckled again. "At first, I just wanted to tease you, get you to join in the fun with everyone. Who knew you'd be so honest about drinking? If someone toasted you, you'd drink."

As the birthday boy, he had his fair share of drinks too. They both ended up quite tipsy, linking arms to watch the little internet sensation dance.

She grabbed something from the prop box, stuck her tongue out, and said she was going to perform as a dead body for him.

She mentioned she worked on set, and whenever there was a shortage of extras, the director would ask her to fill in. She had the most experience playing a dead body.

He was half-asleep, wondering what was so special about playing a corpse. Then, inexplicably, they ended up booking a room. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

In the room, she undressed, saying she was going to act as someone caught in an affair, then murdered by the wealthy man's mistress. She reached for her neck and chest, creating numerous red marks, then grabbed a blood pack she'd taken from the prop box and tried to stick it on herself. After a few failed attempts, she called him over to help. When he squeezed it, the blood pack burst, "blood” flowing down her leg. He was speechless.

The day after they shared a room, Vermont suddenly remembered everything that happened on his birthday night.

Nothing had happened between them; it was all a big misunderstanding.

Recalling it, he couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity of it all, yet he also felt incredibly relieved. If not forthat misunderstanding, Felicity might have

thought they slept together, and she would have had to silence him. They wouldn't have had so many interactions afterward. Fate was truly mysterious.

Because Jaylene didn't press charges, Dahlia was released in less than twenty-four hours. However, after her release, she started getting hounded by creditors, demanding repayment. That was when she learned that Blake and Kanrara had already made arrangements, making her the sole debtor of the company.

Declaring bankruptcy and liquidating the company’s assets could settle most of the debts, but Dahlia refused. She couldn't accept the Crosby family going bankrupt; there would be no place for her in the Kane family anymore. If the Crosby family fell apart, what status would she have in their circle?

After scheming and scraping by all her life, how could she accept ending up with nothing?

She refused to accept it.
