Chapter 1827
Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted
Keegan took the glass and sampled the wine before downing the rest. He casually picked up a tissue and wiped his lips. Felicity observed as the tissue slowly soaked wet before Keegan disposed of it.
âNot bad,â Keegan commented.
Jaylene finished her drink with a bright smile on her face,â The groom really loves wine. He personally chose the drinks for this banquet. Each table has a different selection of wine, but they all taste exceptional.â
She gestured for a waiter and ordered another drink,â Keegan, do you want to try this one? Itâs a fruit wine but packs more punch in terms of alcohol content. It also has a richer aroma.â
Keegan accepted it. He sniffed and said softly, âItâs very fragrant. I can smell the fruit.â
Jaylene smiled, âItâs my favorite.â
After a brief pause, Keegan raised the glass and finished it in one go. He sipped some water and remarked, âThe taste is a bit bitter. Itâs not as impressive as the previous two.â
Jaylene chuckled. âThatâs because you downed it too quickly. Fruit wine should be slowly savored,â she said and demonstrated to Keegan.
Uninterested in Jayleneâs theatrics, Felicity stood on her tiptoes and glanced at Keeganâs glass.
As expected, it was half full just a moment ago, but the wine somehow increased despite him taking a sip earlier.
âDid he spit the wine back into the glass?â thought Felicity. She was sure Stella must have taught Keegan how to avoid alcohol.
âHeâs using the same techniques she used back when we were in school. But doesnât he have amnesia?
How did he remember these tricks? Moreover, why is he avoiding the drinks Jaylene is offering him?â
Felicity had a complex gaze at the thought of that.
âMs. Saun, donât just cater to Keegan. I like drinking too. Why donât you give me some suggestions?â
Vermont playfully said.
Jaylene smiled faintly, âGiven your active presence in the business realm and your wide circle of acquaintances, Iâm sure youâve tried a variety of wines. I wouldnât want to suggest something youâre already familiar with, Mr. Snyder.â
âWell, I never get to savor the taste when drinking during business. Despite looking like I drink a lot, I donât know much about wine.â
He then pulled Felicity over and continued, âMy girlfriend also doesnât know much about it either. You might as well recommend us a few drinks that couples normally choose.â
Felicityâs eyebrows twitched. She glared at him, her gaze saying, âWho said Iâm your girlfriend?â
Vermont held her waist tightly, signaling her to play along.
Jaylene glanced at Felicity and chuckled, âYour taste is indeed⦠unique, Mr.
Snyder.â
She had only seen Felicity a few times, mostly when Stella was present.
She knew about her relationship with Stella but did not understand why they were still friends after the Sauns announced Stellaâs return.
From Jayleneâs perspective, Felicity lacked the standard feminine traits. She was impolite and spoke crudely. âHow does someone as ordinary as her have the confidence to mingle in our circle?â Naturally, Jaylene disliked Felicity, i
