Chapter 1399
Vermont was an incredibly smart individual. After being rejected by Felicity, he was genuinely sad and hurt. He frequented bars to drown his sorrows and avoided going home so he would not have to face her. Every time he saw her, his heart would flutter, and he would be reminded of the rejection.
Vermont could employ hundreds of strategies to win her over, but they would all be meaningless. He wanted Felicity to be in a relationship with him willingly. However, she did not want that. Vermont understood that no amount of effort could change her lack of attraction toward him.
During that time, he reasoned with himself to let go of his feelings since it was not mutual. He stayed away from Felicity and tried to stop thinking about her.
However, after waking up at the police station following a night of heavy drinking one day, he heard from the police that he had brought another woman home. Felicity had been so furious that she called the police. This led him to form a conjecture.
Maybe she does have feelings for me after all.’
The idea was exhilarating. Vermont quickly recovered from his heartbreak and initiated a plan to make Felicity admit her own emotions.
Vermont did this by maintaining a respectful distance and only engaging in polite conversations. He also introduced her to his gaming partner. He even had plans to put on a show with an actor.
Once Felicity responded to any of these tactics, he would be certain of her feelings for him. He would never let go, even if she did not admit it verbally.
However, Felicity was more impatient than he thought. ‘I can’t believe she exposed herself after someone called me” hubby” a few times.’
After they officially became a couple, Felicity shared many things with him. She admitted that after rejecting him, she regretted it. That day at the police station, she had intended to give the relationship a chance, but he went to escort Emily. Felicity was mad and refused to speak to him.
Upon learning this, Vermont deeply regretted his actions. He would not have gone through such a lengthy approach if he had known. He knew his actions were unethical, but it was the quickest and most effective way to help Felicity realize her own feelings. If she did not care about what was happening, he would have stopped and never bothered her again.
Fortunately, she did care.
Thinking of this, Vermont smiled and said, “I would miss the boat if I had been any more reserved in my pursuit.” He paused for a moment and added, “Let’s break up. I don’t want my girlfriend to misunderstand.”
Vermont’s gaming partner displayed a disgusted expression and said, “I wouldn’t have agreed to couple up with you if it weren’t for completing the in-game mission. Get lost, you scumbag!”
With that, he hung up the phone.
Meanwhile, Albert had never imagined that he would be brought in for questioning at the police station regarding Rainee’s car accident seven years ago.
He sat in the interrogation room and nervously rubbed his knees. He was anxious, scared, and overwhelmed by a whirlwind of emotions.
At times, he wondered how much Hylda had disclosed to the police. At other times, he considered that the accident from seven years ago had been meticulously concealed.’ There isn’t any concrete evidence to incriminate me. Could the police truly accuse me based on Hylda’s testimony?’
Following that, he mulled over Hylda’s deceitful character. She was implicated in a murder case, which was a capital offense. ‘Given her personality, she might just throw someone under the bus. Did she know I had informed the police about her connection with Walter? No one else knows what happened back then except for her,’ thought Albert.
