Chapter 1101

Bella portrayed herself as kind and generous during the interview by not saying anything bad about Stella. This created a problem when an audio clip of Stella saying Bella deserved what happened to her went viral online.

The netizens were enraged and began to side with Bella. They all started to curse Stella and told her that her morals were messed up while demanding that she be removed and boycotted from the film industry.

“Mistress Young is such a virus! Look at her fans. It’s like they’re in a cult!” Felicity glared at Vermont and said, “This is all your fault! If you hadn’t taken Bella into your company and pushed her to the public, she wouldn’t be so in her head! Why did you have to pick her out of so many talented and beautiful actors?! Are you freaking blind?”

Vermont’s eyelids twitched, and he immediately dumped the blame on his best friend, “I swear it wasn’t me. Keegan was the one who helped her obtain the resources she needed to climb up the industry. He just used the company as a cover-up. I wasn’t about to get involved in this mess. I didn’t even take any action when Bella got into some online drama.”

Felicity gritted her teeth and said, “I knew Keegan was having an affair with Bella Young! Otherwise, why would he do so much to boost her career? Thank God Stella divorced him. That piece of shit doesn’t deserve to be in a happy marriage.”

“He doesn’t know how to cherish what he has because there’s nothing bad going on in his life,”

Vermont chimed in.

Felicity turned to glare at him and said, “You’re no saint either. You knew about Keegan’s affair, yet you helped him hide the truth! People like you are worse than cheaters like him.”

Vermont was speechless. In order to clear his name, he had no choice but to come up with an excuse.

“Keegan was only doing it for the money. He never had an affair with Bella. I assure you; I would be the first to stand up against him if he ever disrespects Stella.”

Felicity snorted and said, “Lend me your laptop for a while.”

“What for?”

“I want to dissect the audio. I can’t just let them frame Stella like this.”

Vermont turned on his laptop and pushed it in front of Felicity. After thinking about it, he could not help but say sourly, “Don’t you think you’re being too kind? I can’t believe you’re trying to fix her image this early in the morning.”

“That’s because Stella is kind to me… When I faced financial problems during my college years and needed the money to eat, Stella was the one who helped me. When I lost my test slip during one of my finals, she was the one who printed it out and rushed to the exam hall to give it to me.”

Vermont paused. “Didn’t she have to take the test?”

After a long time, Felicity pursed her lips and said, “She passed the test during the first semester of sophomore year. I, on the other hand, only passed the test after taking it four times.”

Vermont suppressed his laughter. “I bet she was there to laugh at your face.”

Felicity glared at him and said, “Not everyone is as evil as you.”

Hearing that, Vermont could not help but ruffle her hair.” Why did you have financial issues during college? Did your family control your expenses?”

‘I got into an argument with my mom and had my card suspended, which made me give in after one month,’ Felicity said in her heart. She decided that it would be embarrassing to tell Vermont about it, so she came up with something else. “My parents aren’t rich, you know. The fact that I was able to go to college was a blessing. That’s why they didn’t give me much for my allowance.”

“Wait. Your parents aren’t rich?” Vermont had never heard Felicity mention her family before.

“Would I be buying things on Temu if they were?” Felicity bluffed. “The good thing is I’m working now.

Although I don’t have a fancy job, I can still care for myself. Plus, I’m getting a new job soon. Maybe I can be a famous author or become a popular screenwriter. That way, my mom can be impressed with me when I visit.”

Seeing Felicity’s optimism, Vermont unconsciously bit his lower lips and joked, “You can go home now.

Even though you can’t brag about your career yet, you can brag about how awesome your boyfriend is.

I mean, do you know how many assets I own?”
