《Escort? President!》 Chapter 1: This Is My Boyfriend Chapter 1: This Is My Boyfriend When Felicity James came out of the room, she was still a bit dizzy. Having had quite a lot of wine, her stomach was extremely ufortable, and she felt nauseous and aggrieved. Tonight, it was her first university reunion since graduation. Several of her friends made a pact to not go home untilpletely drunk. Who knew they would start a drunken madness, humiliating Felicity in the process. "Felicity, we are seeing you after so many years; howe you are still pretending to be noble? Being the elder daughter of James Group makes you cool, you dont think like that anymore, right? "Oh! She must not. Here I was thinking you were living well all these years, but you are still single? Hahaha! What an irony. Back then, you were so full of yourself that you didnt even look at that guy who I liked; you rejected him straight away. Now you are reaping what you sowed. "Felicity, look at us. We have all found love; we are all happy with someone who matches well with us. Especially, Anne, her fianc started his ownpany; he also bought a house and car. Recently, he proposed to her with a diamond ring. And you! You acted like the queen of our department; now you are nothing!" Their sharp mocking words reverberated in Felicitys ears; her heart was stabbed by these words again and again! It turned out that the so-called student reunion was just apetition of who won in life. They all came just to humiliate her. She was the idiot who regarded them as good friends! Having felt insulted and mocked enough, Felicity had left the reunion room with the purpose to go to thedies room. Unexpectedly, she before she walked straight into someone after a couple steps. She promptly apologized before even looking up, "I''m sorry." She raised her head to look at the person in front of her In front of her, there stood an exceptionally handsome man. His face was exquisite as if God carefully carved his every feature. His clean and dark eyebrows sat perfectly above his eyes, which were deeper than the ocean. His nose was high and straight, and his lips, red and thin. He was dripping with sexiness. Around 1.8 meters tall, his lean body was wrapped in a suit that was tailored to perfection. Looking indifferent, he exuded a very strong and expensive aura. Felicity was stunned by his breathtaking handsomeness; her mind that was shrouded in a drunk haze, suddenly felt alive with energy. Pulling her lips into a charming smile she looked at the man and said, "Hey handsome! If you don''t mind, let me borrow you for a bit." He raised one of his dark eyebrows, about to speak. Without waiting for his answer, Felicity suddenly hooked her arm into his and dragged him towards the room where the reunion was in progress. The door of the room was opened suddenly with a noise. Inside, Anne, Mia, Susan, and their boyfriends looked around at the noise. Seeing that it was Felicity, Anne immediately said in a sarcastic tone, "Oh, we thought you ran away. Howe you are back?" Felicity looked at her coldly and said with a smile, "Who said I ran away? I just went out to bring my boyfriend in. This is my boyfriend! Heste because he was busy at work. " Anne looked at Felicity, stumped for words. Susan, Mia and the others were also left frozen in their ces. N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. They all turned their attention towards the man standing beside Felicity. His noble posture, exquisite face and above all his aura that left everyone blinded How can a man as handsome as him be Felicity''s boyfriend? "Impossible!" Anne couldnt help herself from saying. "What''s impossible? Only you guys are allowed to have boyfriends? I cant have one? Felicity raised her chin confidently as she finished speaking. She didnt forget to hook her arm even more with him, getting even closer. His expressions did not change as he lowered his eyes slightly and nced sideways at her. With long hair and delicate facial features, she was indeed a beauty. When she spoke, she gave off an indomitable aura. Her cheeks are blushing pink; there is a faint smell of wineing from her. She looks quite drunk. From the conversation, he vaguely understood what was going on. His eyes shed with interest. He did not deny what Felicity had just said; instead, he put his arm At the sudden contact from him, Felicity froze. She struggled subconsciously to remove his hand from her waist, but she was no match for his strength. She couldn''t help but stare at him, angry and embarrassed. Jason, however, was smiling calmly, as if he couldnt see her expressions. Anne and other''s eyes were full of jealousy after hearing his deration. Such a handsome and sexy man Why is he Felicity''s boyfriend? In the middle of all the jealousy and anger, a figure suddenly rushed into the room. It was Garrett Smith, Jason''s assistant! He was shocked to see his boss suddenly being pulled into a room by a stranger. After a moment he realized he should check to see what happened. He came in and asked, "Boss, what happened? Are you alright?" Hearing him, Jason Reed shook his head and motioned him to leave. Garrett looked confused. He subconsciously looked around at the people in the room, and then looked at the woman with his bosss hand around her waist. He has no idea what was going on. However, he did not dare to disobey the order and withdrew quietly from the room. As soon as Garrett left, Annes fianc Quinnughed out loud, "Boss? Wow! That didnt add up. Did you just find this man outside and begged him to act as your boyfriend? Or is he an escort? Anne eyes widened in realization, "Hah! Is that what this is, Felicity? Did you call an escort just to prove? Are you that thirsty?" Next to her, Mia and Susan also agreed with a sneer, "If you are so short of men, we can introduce one to you. You dont have to act this low! Although Felicity is drunk, her consciousness is still clear; their words hit her hard. She really didn''t know who this man was at all; when she saw that he was handsome, she just pulled him in without thinking. She didn''t expect that this person could be an escort! Are escorts this well- mannered and expensive-looking? She just thought he was a rich guy! Felicity was a little annoyed, but she maintained her calm face and said, "Are you writing a novel? Making up stuff!" Anne felt insulted and embarrassed; to hide her feelings she turned to Jason and said mockingly, "Well! Felicitys boyfriend! Now that you are here, join us and have a drink." Jason saw through her and a yful smile appeared on his face as he said, "Sure!" He walked over with Felicity in his arms and sat down with her. Anne gave her fianc a meaningful look and winked. Knowing what she meant. Quinn immediately poured a drink for Jason, "Boss! Is this one okay? Can you drink it straight? " Jason nced at the ss in front of him and said, "I dont drink cheap alcohol. I need something better..." Saying this, he turned to the waiter standing near the door and said, "Bring some bottles of your most expensive whisky and your best red wine." The waiter nodded attentively, "Sure, Sir!" The waiter then moved to go out. Quinn said in a mocking tone, "Are you really an escort here? Trying to get us to buy wine? Chapter 2: You Can Pay Me Back In Other Ways… Like A Kiss… Chapter 2: You Can Pay Me Back In Other Ways Like A Kiss Anne also sneered, "Acting all rich wont work here. Youll have to pay for those." "And if you can''t afford itter, don''t expect us to help you pay." Susan and Miaughed loudly. However, Jason didn''t seem to hear that. He took out a ck card from his pocket and extended it towards the waiter, "What are you waiting for? Go! Now!" Looking at the ck card, the waiter was stunned for a moment. He didn''t dare to dy any longer; he All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. took the card and left quickly. About five minutester, he brought back the wine and whiskey. The waiter was very respectful as he said, "Your drinks, sir." Jason nodded and motioned him to leave. When Anne and others saw this scene, they looked suspicious and uncertain. Susan couldn''t help muttering, "Is this really that expensive?" Mia shook her head. "Even if they really want it, they have to be able to afford it. I think Felicity just ordered them just to show-off." While the three women were whispering among themselves, Quinn and the others faces were getting darker with every minute. Tonight, all the wine they drank put together was a few thousand yuan at most, but the bottles that Jason ordered were worth hundreds of thousands of yuan. It''s not something they can even dream of doing! Either this man is actually really rich or he is pretending to an extreme! Felicity also thought the same. She just thought he was faking it. So, she leaned in towards him and whispered quietly, Pretty boy! Although I am very grateful for your help, but pretend is pretend; its not real. I can''t afford to pay for what you just ordered. Hearing her, Jason couldn''t help but smile. In a voice deep and maic, he said into her ear, "You don''t need to pay me back with money. You can pay me back in other ways like a kiss He spoke in her ear, his low voice and warm breath made Felicity shiver as a crisp numb feeling rose up her spine. Felicity retorted on the spot, feeling both shy and angry. "Are you trying to take advantage of me?", said Felicity. Jason said camly, "You didn''t get my permission before dragging me here! Besides, aren''t you acting as my girlfriend? If there is no intimate skin ship between lovers, it can be seen easily as a lie. Do you want to be ridiculed by them even more? " Felicitys face showed her reluctance. Her three so-called good friends are sarcastic and merciless. She just wanted to end this ridiculous party and go home. Suddenly, she leaned in and kissed Jason on the cheek. She gritted her teeth and said, "Id die before I let them ridicule me." Jason didn''t expect that she would actually kiss him, and his eyes suddenly darkened. In his dark deep eyes, something seemed to be brewing. Almost predatory! As for Anne and others, they werepletely dumbfounded. Later, Jason opened the wine and yed a drinking with them. Loser had to drink the whole ss! As they yed, Jason luckily won every game easily until the very end. After a while, Susan and Quinn fell drunk. Quinn persistently persevered until the very end and finally defeated Jason in a game. Jason picked up the wine ss to drink. Unexpectedly, Felicity suddenly held his wrist and stopped him, saying, "I''ll drink this for you. After all, you helped me. " When she said thest sentence, her voice was very low. Then without waiting for Jasons answer, she took the ss from him and drank the wine in one shot. The wine was very strong; it burned her throat. Felicity choked on the wine and coughed. Then, her eyes went dark and she fell, drunk into unconsciousness. Jason caught her delicate body before she could fall off her chair andughed lightly. She drank it so boldly but got t out drunk in just one ss! He shook his head, smiling, then looked at Quinn and said lightly, "Wed be leaving now." After saying that, he picked up Felicity in his arms and strode towards the door. Aftering out of the hotel, Felicitys mind was swimming in a haze. She only knew that she was feeling very hot and subconsciously pulled at her clothes. Someone stopped her. She tried to push him away, but she couldn''t move. Then, she began to feel a wave rising in her stomach. And then, she suddenly vomited. When she woke up again, it was the next morning. She opened her eyes and saw a gorgeous crystal chandelier hanging from a ceiling. Her head was still nk as she struggled to get up to see where she was. As she sat up, a strong wave of pain, and soreness spread through her limbs. Felicity took a deep breath and lowered her head; her eyes fell on to her naked body. She was dumbfounded! What What happened? As she sat there stunned, the bathroom door suddenly opened. Jason came out of it wrapped in his bathrobe. He looked like he just showered, his hair wet and dripping on to his face. He looked wildly sexy. Felicity gasped asst nights memories finally came to her. She remembered that she dragged a random man into her reunion party and drank with her friends. And then all her memories are broken fragments! Waking up like this, even a fool can see what happened! Felicity was angry beyond limits; she pointed an using finger at Jason and yelled at him, "You You actually took advantage of a drunk passed out woman? You Ba$tard! Jason raised his eyebrows slightly, his expressions innocent. He said, "Miss James, thats not true. You were drunkst night and you started to..." Felicity choked at his words and then burst angrily, "No way, you liar! You must have taken advantage of me while I was drunk! I was so drunk Why would I to you" Her face flushed red, and she could not continue her sentence. Because it was too humiliating! Standing there, Jason dried his hair with a towel in silence, but his mind could not help thinking ofst night. Last night, when this woman was drunk, she began to toss, drunk as fu@k and vomited all over him. He kindly threw her into the bathtub to take a bath, but after washing, she suddenly rushed forward. Now that the matter is over, she doesnt even remember and is denying initiating anything! "Don''t worry, if you don''t want to take responsibility, I can act like nothing happened." Jason said as he threw the towel on the sofa beside him. His tone was light and breezy. Felicity was a flustered mess. Listening to this, why did it feel like she was the bad bitch? When in reality it was her who just got taken advantage of, Okay? But if what he is saying was true, then was she that starved to jump on an escort when drunk? Felicity just wanted to cry and scream at this thought, but she could only grit her teeth and swallow her feelings. It was her own initiative to provoke him. Now that this happened, she could only ept it. Thats all! Fortunately, this man is handsome, so it does not seem to be such a loss! Chapter 3: Felicity James, I Will Remember You Chapter 3: Felicity James, I Will Remember You Thinking so, she regained some of herposure. Then she picked up her purse and took out a thousand yuan from it. She extended that money towards Jason and said, "Here you go! This is forst night." Jason stood in his ce, stunned; his face darkened, his deep eyes narrowed, and his aura dangerously powerful. "What do you mean?" His tone was icy cold and his expressions unkind. Felicity didnt notice his expressions and responded, "Do you still need to ask? Don''t you know the rules of your profession? " Jason gritted his teeth and asked, "And what profession would that be?" Felicity, still being stupid, said in a matter-of-factly tone, "An escort, of course! Aren''t you an escort at that bar? Or do you think a thousand yuan is too little for the service you provided? You see, I''m a poor woman. I''ll need to save some money to go to the hospital to get tested after this. Who knows if you are clean or not and what you might have given me... Her voice lowered considerably as she said thest sentence. But Jason, whose hearing was sharp, didnt miss a word. His eyes widened. He was dumbfounded, not knowing whether he should be angry orughing. This woman, really dared to say She has some guts! However, Jason miraculously didn''t give her a hard time. Instead, he reached out and took the thousand yuan with a yful smile. Hah, I, Jason Reed, was bought for one night with just 1000 yuan? Oh! Felicity James, I will remember you! Felicity didn''t know that she was going to be in trouble. Seeing that he took the money, she began to drive him out. "Now that this is settled. You can leave. I need to shower and change clothes." Jason hooked his lips into a smile and said obediently, "Sure." Then, without even changing his clothes, he turned around and left the room in his bathrobe. As for Felicity, after taking a quick shower, she also left the hotel and set out for thepany where she was an intern. On the way, her cellphone vibrated constantly. There were new messages. Felicity hurriedly took it out to look at it and found that it was a WeChat group of her old ssmates. In the group Anne was talking to everyone about Felicity. Anne wrote, "Yesterday night, I met a ssmate, who was with an escort to spend the night. Isn''t this unbelievable?" Susan wrote, "Yeah! And shes not an ordinary person. We dare not send pictures as proof, because seeing that your eyes will rot." Some people wrote back, "Hey! Come on now, we need to see who that is. Such guts!" "When she was in university, she was very noble and indifferent." Mia gave them a hint. Although no name was mentioned, many people guessed who it was. Everyone was surprised. "It can''t be who I think it is. She didnt even nce at others, even if he was our campus hunk, right?" "Ha ha ha! It must be her! She was so aloof back then, but now is alone and horny, so she did this." "Isnt that disgusting? Getting a prostitute? Is there a shortage of normal men? "Oh! This is all just moral corruption. With such ethics, I wonder what is going to happen to our universitys reputation." "That''s right. She shouldnt go around telling everyone shes from our university." "If you don''t have a boyfriend, then just use me, look at me, I am strong..." Such hideous sentences shed in front of Felicitys eyes; her body began to tremble. She really did not expect them to be so shameless and send this kind of gossip to the whole group. Exasperated, she wanted to leave the group. But she stopped herself at thest moment. She cant leave now! If she left the group, they would just think that Anne was right. But it was impossible for her to ignore all this. She angrily dialed Anne''s number. The call was quickly connected, and Anne''s teasing voice answered, "What can I do for you?" Felicity suppressed her anger and said coldly, "Anne, why are you doing this?" Anne seemed to be very satisfied and said withughter, "No reason! I''m just telling the truth. Why? You can do it but I cant talk about it?" Felicity gritted her teeth; she was so angry that her heart was full of icy cold numbness. She couldn''t understand why Anne was acting like this. When she was in university, she helped Anne a lot. And that''s how she paid her back? Felicity angrily clutched the cellphone and said, "I hope you can stop it before you go too far!" Anne sneered, "Whats wrong with me going too far? Did you think wed believe the guy you brought in was a prince? You clearly don''t have a boyfriend yet you wanted to prove it. Who did you want to humiliate? Us? No, of course it would be you!" Felicity heard this and she became more and more angry. She made a mistake because she was drunk! But it was not something that they should ridicule her for. Gnashing her teeth in anger, she said, "Anne Carter, I am warning you, stop this! Dont annoy me, or it would not be good for you! If I see any inappropriate remarks about me, I will not let you go. " "Oh, I''m so scared." After hearing this, Anne immediately said in a mocking tone, "The game is over Felicity, do you still want to pretend? You want me to stay quiet but I''m going to say it more loudly. Why not? Ill even report this matter to the university staff. You wont be able to get the degree if this goes out." Having finished saying what she wanted to, Anne hung up the phone without waiting for Felicitys response. N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. Felicity James was very angry. She just graduated and today was her first day as an intern. All she needed was her degree. If this matter reached the university, she would be absolutely finished. Felicitys heart dropped like a stone. She still didn''t understand when she offended Anne. Why were they so calcting in everything! She was in a daze as her cellphone suddenly rang. Felicity looked at the caller ID, her expressions changing dramatically. It was their student counselor! She hesitated for a moment before picking it up. The student counselor went immediately to the point, "Miss Felicity James, I have just received a report that you solicited the services of a male escort off- campus, is this true? Felicitys mind crashed for a moment; she could not say a word. The counselor, seeing that she did not utter a word, repeated seriously, "Felicity James, please tell me the truth! Whatever it is. I understand this is your private business but it can ruin the universitys reputation. I hope you can give me a reasonable exnation! " Felicity face was looked drained of all blood; pale and lifeless. What should she say? Should she say that it was a calcted move or just a stimted move? Should she just say she made a mistake in her hot-headedness? No exnation seemed to work. Seeing that she still didnt answer, he sighed, "Miss Felicity James, I always saw you as a clever student. If you have any problems, you can tell me. I am willing to listen to your exnation. Lets meet and talk about this tonight. Okay? Felicity gathered her courage and with difficulty she said just one word into the phone, Okay! After the call, she began to earnestly think how to solve this matter. Finally, an idea hit her head when she thought of Jason. If she could ask him to show his employment certificate It would be the best if it he was not a professional escort or prostitute. Even if it was like that, they could make up a fake certificate and put in anypanys name. Then all they have to do is to act like a couple in front of the student counselor. Thinking this, Felicity immediately ordered the driver in front of her, "Please take me back to the hotel you just picked me up from. I left something there." Then she called herpany to ask for leave. Chapter 4: She’s Really An Idiot Chapter 4: Shes Really An Idiot After returning to the hotel, Felicity hurried back to the room she woke up in the morning. At that time, he went out without even taking his clothes. Felicity thought that he mighte back to get the clothes. Maybe they could run into each other again. But after she got there, she found that the cleaning staff was already cleaning the room. The room had already been checked-out of, and Jason Reed had long been gone. Felicity had no choice but to go downstairs and ask the front desk of the hotel for help, "Hello, could you please check and give me the contact number of the male guest in room A001 fromst night?" After hearing this, the girl at the front desk asked, "Is the person you are asking about, President Jason Reed? Yes! Give me his phone number! " Felicity nodded fiercely, not caring about the prefix President. "I''m sorry, it''s private information. We can''t disclose it without permission." The girl at the front desk apologized. How can she give the number of President Reed to anyone? Felicity frowned, her brain working faster than ever and then she said, "I am pregnant with his child, but I forgot his number! It''s very important to find him right now! " At this critical moment, she didn''t care about her image. The girl was stunned. Then she remembered that Mr. Reed himself carried her into the hotelst night. The rtionship between the two must be close enough. She didn''t dare to mess up and quickly gave his number to Felicity. Thank you! Felicity wrote down the phone number, then turned around and quickly left. The girl at the front desk looked at her leaving and thought to herself, "Wow! Her life is too good! Fated to be with Jason Reed, she must have saved a country in her previous life" As soon as Felicity came out, she dialed Jason Reed''s phone number. "Who is this?" On the other side of the phone, there came his maic deep voice, pleasant and sexy. Felicity kept it short and clean, "Felicity James! I was the one with youst night. I need to meet you and talk to you about something! " While talking, she kept herposure, but in reality, she was a little embarrassed. Jason was a bit surprised. He didn''t expect her toe to him so soon. Whats the matter? He pondered for a moment and then agreed. The two decided to meet in a caf. Blue North Caf was a nice ce to be with slow music and rxing atmosphere. The lights in the hall were dim. Jason was alone, sitting at a corner table by the window, waiting for Felicity. Five minutester, Felicity also came. Seeing his face again, Felicity was amazed just like the first time. The dim yellow light hit his exquisite face in all the right ces. Under his perfect eyebrows, a pair of deep eyes were like endless oceans. His nose was high and his lips were thin; his face was perfect and wless. This was the first time Felicity had looked at him seriously. This man was really not an ordinary hunk. Any woman would feel inferior in front of him. Feeling Felicitys eyes on him, Jason took the lead in acknowledging her, "Come on, what happened?" Felicity was pulled out of her thoughts. She went over, sat down and immediately asked, "What''s your name? Do you usually work in that bar" Jason frowned, his heart asking, "She came to ask this? What is she going to do? However, he quickly responded, "Jason Reed. I don''t work there. I''m the president of Reed Group." Felicity was stunned for a moment, and then she waved a hand dismissively at him and said, "Can you at least think once before lying?" Hah! President of the Reed Group? That is a hugepany. It''s one of the top business groups in China! Can he even enter the building? And he casually called himself the president of the group! "Huh?" Jason was stunned, confused at her response. "There''s no one else here. You don''t have to pretend. If you are an escort then you can just say it. Why drag in the president of such a hugepany?" Felicitys words directly exined to him that there was a limit to pretend, it should not be overdone. Jason was really at a loss, not knowing whether tough or cry. But that is the truth; he is Jason Reed, President of the Reed Group. Its fine if she didnt want to believe him, but why does she keeps calling him a prostitute? He didn''t exin too much. He just asked, "Why are you asking all this?" N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. Felicity became a little ufortable, "Umm Well, I have a little problem, so I need you to cooperate with me and act as I say. I''ll give you an identity... " "What identity?" Felicity said, "Tonight, you will have to go to my university to meet my student counselor. When asked about your upation, you should say that you belong to ourpany. Ourpany is called FR Group..." "And then?" Jason asked with interest. "Then, you will say that you are the product director. Your job is to supervise the quality of products. Ourpany mainly makes clothes... " Felicity briefly introduced thepany and its work. Jason did not answer. FR Group, he had not only heard about it, but also had done business with it. It was just that he was feeling a little ufortable. She was really an idiot! Shepletely ignored his very real position of the president of Reed Group and made him a product director. Felicity didn''t notice Jason''s expressions and went on, "This is it. Anyway, you dont need to know much; at that time, we''ll answer whatever student counselor asks you together. If you can''t answer, I''ll do it for you. You don''t have to talk much. Obviously, she was worried about Jasons real identitying out in the open, so she asked him to say as little as possible. If you say too much, you will lose. "Okay!" Although Jason was very disdainful of his new identity, he was interested in the matter, so he agreed. He wanted to see what kind of game this little idiot wanted to y. "Then I''ll call you its time. You muste! I will not let you do it for nothing. Felicity felt relieved. Fortunately, he agreed to help. "What do you mean?" "Ill pay you, of course. This time it is easy, as long as you don''t say anything wrong, it''s very simple!" Felicity tried hard to do all the nning for Jason, so that he would not have too much pressure and didnt have to worry about money. When it came to payment, Jason remembered the thousand yuan she gave him; his jaw tightened immediately. "Oh!" Jason was forced to suppress the anger and annoyance in his heart. "I''ll call you then!" After the negotiation, Felicity left. Chapter 5: Exposed Chapter 5: Exposed That night, at the door of a caf outside the school, Felicity looked around, waiting. She felt ufortable, worrying that Jason would note. After a while, a man in an expensive suit with a strong aura came. It was Jason. He was an escort, but he looked more like an expensive man from a very wealthy family. "When we go insideter on" Felicity reached out to hook her arm into his and continued, "I want you to pretend to be closer to me. Don''t be too aloof. Okay?" Taken aback by her sudden boldness, Jason couldnt help but dodge her subconsciously. "What are you doing? Come here! Do you remember all the things I told you during the day?" Felicity warned him impatiently. "I know! I know! He quickly answered. What is this attitude? Is this how you ask for help? "Let''s go in and do as I say. Don''t be nervous!" In the caf, the student counselor was already waiting. Felicity and Jason entered the caf, arm in arm, smiling from ear to ear like a new couple in love. "Hello, Sir!" Felicity greeted the student counselor and released Jasons arm. After all, in front of a teacher, they should be more appropriate and polite. "Hello." Jason also nodded respectfully, and the counselor greeted him too. He looked Jason up and down with a serious face. He had been teaching for many years and had seen countless students. He could see through a person''s identity at a nce. But when he saw Jason, he was stunned. Jason seemed to be of a noble character. He seemed to be an upright and responsible person. However, he did not think too much about that. After all, the man in front of him was so handsome, especially his eyes, deep and enchanting like whirlpools. Maybe he really is an escort. In that line, appearance is a most important. The character and manners can be taught but some things are inherently needed to be present since the beginning in that line of work. "Sir, this is my boyfriend, Jason Reed." Felicity introduced him with a smile. "Well, sit down." The counselor nodded and asked them to sit down. Jason was quite a gentleman. He offered Felicity a seat before he sat down himself. The student counselor was surprised at such detailed actions. However, one question should still be asked. After all, it was rted to the reputation of the school. "I want to ask you a few questions. They may seem offensive, but they are important. I hope you don''t mind..." He went straight to the point. Felicity might be an outstanding student but this matter could not be ignored. "It''s OK. Go ahead!" Jason looked at him attentively and said politely. "What''s your name? And where do you work? He asked the same question as he asked Felicity. "My name is Jason Reed. I work in FR Group at present." Jason was able to deal with it easily and exined naturally. "FR Group? What is your position there? " The instructor saw that Jasons answer was so natural that he didn''t seem to be lying. Moreover, the "Product Director." "Is that really true?" He squinted at Jason; half convinced. "Of course!" Jason smiled and gave general description of the work of the product director. The description was very clear, just like a professional, which made Felicity feel very surprised. His understanding of the profession seemed to be moreprehensive than that of Felicity. After listening to his description, the student counselor nodded again and again, finally believing. However, at the next table, Anne and several other people sat, listening to everything. They found out that Felicity was going to meet the student counselor, so they followed her to see how it goes. Unfortunately, Felicity had decided on the product director of FR Group as his job. Ugh! This lowly prostitute, he was lying without even blinking an eye. "Anne, if I remember correctly, your cousin is the product director of FR Group, right?" Susan immediately asked. "Ha ha, yeah! It must be Felicity who asked him to lie like this. I didn''t expect that she would tell such a big lie in order to convince the student counselor!" Mia sneered, mocking Felicity''s incapacity to even lie correctly. Wasn''t this like bringing down an axe on ones own foot? "Looks like even god is on our side..." After listening to Jason''s identity, Anne began to snicker in her heart. Then, Anne sent a message to her cousin, asking him toe to the coffee shop near the school. "Today, I just wanted to ask about your work. It seems that I heard a false..." Before the counselor could finish speaking, Anne came up to them arrogantly, "They lied. He is not the product director of FR Group!" Felicitys face darkened a bit. She didn''t expect Anne to show up there; she froze in her ce. But Jason sat there looking indifferent and calm. "What? Are you sure? Seeing Anne suddenly appear, the student counselor was surprised. "Yes, Felicity is lying to you!" Anne guaranteed that what she said is not false. Then, Anne looked at Felicity with a mocking smile, "You are so brazen that you dare to cheat the counselor? He is clearly the same escort you brought tost nights reunion party!" "How can you say that without any evidence?" Felicity turned blue with fear, but tried to suppress her emotions. "Because I know the actual Product Director of FR Group! "You''re so fake, Felicity. We can all see right through you!" Susan and Mia stood beside Anne, looking extremely happy. Felicitys heart sank. There was continuous panicked screaming in her head. Is it that all is going to be revealed? She nced at Jason subconsciously, but he looked calm. Felicityforted herself. If Jason hasnt panicked yet, then she too must grit her teeth and hold her ground. "You know when you said you know him, no one actually believed you. Felicity pretended to be calm and confronted them. Then, Felicity said to the counselor, "Sir, please believe me, they are framing me. My boyfriend has his employment certificate in his hand, that can''t be faked... " The instructor frowned and said nothing. The scene was bing very chaotic, and he did not know who to believe. "Felicity, I got some evidence! How will continue your lie?" Susan sneered. She didn''t expect Felicity to be so stubborn. But the more stubborn she was, the more fun it would be! "Sir, give me a little time, and I will prove to you that Felicity and her boyfriend are lying! I will expose All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. her! " Anne vowed, and then gave felicity a provocative look. Chapter 6: Who Is Lying? Chapter 6: Who Is Lying? By this time, Felicitys heart became more flustered and her mind messy and chaotic. "Felicity, if you admit it now, then maybe you can save yourself from humiliation or this is going to end badly!" Susan looked at Felicitycently and reminded her to stop while she would make herself look that bad in front of others. "It is still not known which one of us is lying!" Felicity stared down at Susan and refused to admit defeat. She has to hold out until the end, maybe they are here to deliberately to disrupt the situation? Felicity decided to gamble. About ten minutester, a man in a suit came in. He was pretty handsome and looked very decent like an office worker. Felicity looked at him and her heart throbbed a little. Oh no! This was Ryan Davis, the actual product director of herpany. After Ryan Davis came in, he hurried over to Anne, "Anne! Why did you call me over in such a hurry? Is everything okay?" "Yeah! Its nothing. I just wanted you to personally confirm something!" Anne smiled to let her cousin to rx him. Then, Anne took her cousin towards Jason and Felicity, pointed at them and asked, "Ryan, do you know them?" Jason did not say a word and sat on one side, looking indifferent; Felicity on the other hand nervously bit her lips and did not dare to look up at Ryan. "I don''t know this man... " Ryan did not find Jason familiar. Then, Ryan looked at Felicity again and said, "Isn''t this Felicity James?" Ryan recognized Felicity because she was an intern this year, and worked under him. "Sir, let me introduce you to Mr. Ryan Davis, the actual product director of FR Group." Anne, with a smile on her face, introduced Ryan to the counselor solemnly. Show him your employment certificate. Anne raised her eyebrows and said to Ryan. "OK, here!" Ryan took out his certificate of employment and showed it to the counselor. The counselor looked at Ryan''s work permit, and thenpared it to Jason''s, and suddenly became more confused. Howe they are both the product directors of apany? "What is this?" The counselor looked gloomy as he questioned Felicity. Felicity was stunned out of words. She really didn''t expect that Anne was actually rted to the product director of theirpany! And to meet him here like this, what will her internship end? Felicity was so embarrassed that her ears turned burning red; she didnt know how to exin the situation. "Anne, what happened?" Ryan''s expressions were full of questions. He didnt understand the situation at all, so he looked towards his cousin for exnation. "Ryan, this man is saying that he is the product director of FR Group. He is pretending to be you. And the person who brought him here and nned the whole thing is your intern, Felicity... " Anne told the whole story vividly, especially emphasizing the word "pretending". When Ryan heard that someone pretended to be him, he immediately felt that his identity had been challenged and got angry, "FR Group has only one product director - Me. Who are you to pretend to be me? Dont you know impersonating someone is a crime?" Felicity closed her eyes and cried secretly in her heart. This was going to end up way worse than she originally was afraid of. Susan and Mia smirked in pleasure, looking at Felicity who looked like being at a loss. "Felicity, why did you do this? This is not something you should do to your own boss." Ryan angrily asked Felicity. Felicity did not look up at Ryan''s eyes and sat there quietly with her head hung low. She was exposed on the spot and didn''t know what to say. "Because she spent a night with a prostitute and when exposed, she imed that he was her boyfriend and that he worked ta FR Group to save herself..." Anne almost shouted it out, fearing that others might not hear it clear enough, making many people look at them and watch. Ryans expressions changed from disbelief and confusion to anger and shock. Did Felicity really take a prostitute and then pretended that he was him? It was impossible to ignore. This was a huge insult to him. "It''s a shame to have such students in your university. It''s better to kick them out as soon as possible." Ryan said angrily. Felicity''s heart fell off a cliff into the deep dark sea. Her mind went nk and her vision turned dark. Its really over today. She would not only be expelled from her university and denied her degree but she also might lose the internship and any possibility of a job. Her life was ruinedpletely. While Felicity was drowning in the darkness, Anne and the others were looking at her, overjoyed at her humiliation. But, suddenly Jason said, "I am not sure who is pretending to be who here!" His deep maic voice, powerful and clear, startled all the people around him; everyone looked at him, awed by his presence. "You are really something. You really think I would ever want to impersonate you? Ryanughed out of anger and exasperation. He had never seen such a scene. "Exactly! Jason replied powerfully. "Wow! You dont even think twice before lying. You and Felicity are really a match made in heaven!" Anneughed, enjoying the whole situation immensely. The man pretended to be so powerful. It was a pity he was not an actor with that face and those acting skills. Felicity couldnt help but worry. Jason''s boast was a little too big; it would be even worse when it blew up. She stealthily pulled Jason''s sleeve, thinking maybe they should apologize when they can. All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. "What the hell is even happening?" The counselor waspletely confused and irritated. These students are really hard to manage; what kind of appalling mind games are they even ying? "Sir, do you really need to ask? Of course, they are cheaters. My cousin has been in thepany for many years!" Anne exined with a satisfied smile. "What proof do you have?" Jason sneered. "I have an employment certificate. Didn''t you see it just now?" Ryanughed at Jason''s extravagant acting. "I have that, too. Maybe yours is fake." Jason said. "Fine! I''ll just call someone to prove it. Which wont be good for you because you are fake. You would be exposed at once!" Ryan was stunned for a moment by the power Jason showed. He felt a little flustered in his heart. But then he thought about it. Why should he feel flustered when he was not wrong? Clearly, Jason was the one faking. "Sure, go ahead! Call someone. Just call the president of FR Group himself! Lets see who gets exposed then... " Jason sneered, as if he was bound to win. Felicity''s heartbeat was getting faster by the minute. How long was he going to pretend for? She suddenly regretted calling him over for help "Fine! Ill call him! " Ryan was irritated beyond measure; he insisted on confronting Jason until the end. If you are right then you are right; theres no need to be afraid of anyone. He went out to call the president of FR Group. Jason smiled lightly, picked up his cellphone and sent a message. Anne was surprised. She didn''t expect that an escort would be this brave and make this noise. Chapter 7: Humiliation Chapter 7: Humiliation "Felicity, you and your boyfriend really dont know when to stop. No shame!" Anne was not flustered, she just watched the whole scene unfolding with excitement, believing that Felicity would be losing. Jason just grimaced disdainfully, not wanting to engage in a senseless conversation with such a group of people. Felicity also stayed quiet. Now that she hade this far, she must hold on until the very end. Seeing that they didn''t even flinch, Anne sat down next to her two cronies Mia and Susan, her expressions showing her excitement for the final showdown. Good! Lets see how they would walk out of this one. The counselor sat there with bated breath too, frowning and waiting for the truth to be revealed. Both sides were insisting so strongly on being right that he couldnt figure out who was lying. Although Felicity pretended to be calm on the surface, her heart was like a time bomb buried in her chest, threatening to explode any minute. If she were to look at Jason at the moment, her eyes would have sprayed him with burning mes. Did this mane from hell specially to harm her? He was really addicted to ying the part until the very end. He wouldnt give up until proven a fake, right? Jason seemed to feel the anger in Felicity''s eyes. He leaned towards her and asked her in a low voice, "What? Are you afraid? " "You are going to be the reason for my death today" Felicity stared at him; her voice extremely low. "If you want to lie, you have to make it believable." Jason said very firmly. "No one is going to believe us!" Felicity was about to cry. "As long as you believe me, I can do it." Jason did not have a trace of timidity; his eyes shone powerfully. Felicity looked at him suspiciously, skeptical, obviously not knowing why he was so confident. There no way to go back now, the only way was to grit her teeth and believe him. Even if she gambles, she can get lucky, right? She didnt know why but there was an inexplicable power in Jason''s eyes. As long as Felicity looked at him, she felt at ease. "Dont you think it is a bit toote to n an escape now?" said Anne sarcastically. Seeing them whispering but not being able to hear them, Anne was very much upset. "It''s none of your business." Felicity fired back at her in her exuberant anger. "You really need to learn the lesson toe to your senses, dont you? We can just wait and see your end. Anne smiled disdainfully. She wasnt afraid of Felicity. A fake thing cannot be gold no matter how hard it tries. Twenty minutester, George Green, the president of FR Group came. He walked in steadily in a ck suit. With his height about 1.8 meters and slender body, he looked serious and mature. He was handsome and his demeanor was that of a respectable president of a Anne was so excited about the wonderful scene that was finally about to be staged that she was losing her patience. "Herees the president of FR Group. Ha ha! This is going to be fun to watch!" "I just want to see Felicity and her lowly prostitute, her so called boyfriend, being humiliated in front of everyone..." Susan and Mia were also excited, as if they were waiting for thest episode of their favorite drama. Felicity took a deep breath trying to calm her nerves, as her whole body tensed up upon seeing him walk in. Seeing the president, Ryan quickly stepped forward and said respectfully, "Hello, Mr. Green." "What is it? Why did you call me here? George Green asked him. Ryan politely and roughly exined the situation to him. After hearing this, George frowned, How is this possible? I want to see who it is! Who dares to pretend to be an employee of hispany! Looking at the him frown, Anne and others couldnt help but gloat. The counselor saw that the president and Ryan were as familiar as they were, and thought it must be Felicity who was lying. Then, he nced at Felicity, his eyes full of disappointment and anger. Felicity got more flustered than ever. Her hands felt cold. She couldnt help but make her hands into fists tightly, looking nervous and flustered. When Jason saw Felicity''s tension, he suddenly stretched out his hand and held Felicitys hand tightly in his own. Felicity subconsciously avoided his hand at first, but as the warmth of his hand spread through her palm, she rxed, her heart gaining some strength to calm herself down. Looking at his calm face, Felicity became even more confused They were in the worst mess ever, how was he still so calm? How did he develop such a mentality in the face of a crisis? Just when Felicity was thinking about this, George looked at her. He first nced at Felicity lightly, and then his eyes fell on Jason. At that moment, Felicity clearly saw that Georges eyes changed dramatically. It was as if he had seen something that he shouldn''t have seen. He looked obviously scared! "You..." He was so stunned that he could not speak. Jason looked at him in the eyes with a smile. "Reed Mr. Reed..." He was so shocked to see Jason that he stammered. However, before he could continue, Jason interrupted him, "Mr. Green, nice meeting you here! I''m here today to ask you to prove my identity." "Huh? What proof? " George Green just kept staring at Jason, not being able to get over his shock. Jason said tly, "Look at me and him! Who is the product director of FR Group? George looked a bit muddled, feeling like it was a dream. The president of a well-knownpany was saying he was the product director of hispany? How could he agree to this? He looked from Jason to Ryan, trying to judge what kind of situation was being unfolded there. At that time, Ryan looked at Jason with a sneer on his face, mocking him, "You really don''t know your ce! Our president has been called here by me and you are still posing? Hah! Such bravery!" All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. Felicity stood there clenching her fists, her forehead getting sweatier. Even president of thepany himself was here, how was Jason still confident? "Erm" Quickly grasping the core of the situation, George choked. "Mr. George, who is the product director of yourpany?" The counselor was done with all the drama and confusion. Since the president of FR Group himself had arrived, he just asked him directly. George looked at Ryan, and then looked at several girls present. Anne and the others were waiting in excitement. He looked again at the girl, who looked extremely nervous beside Jason. The president of Reed Group was holding her hand tightly. George looked again at Jason. Jason blinked his eyes, signaling him. George was a smart man; seeing Jasons signal he connected the dots and understood what had happened. He looked around and then pointed, "This is the product director of ourpany." Anne and others who were waiting for the grand finale, were all shocked to see that he was not pointing towards Ryan; he was pointing towards Jason. Not Ryan Davis, but Jason Reed! As soon as this statement was made, all the people present were startled. Chapter 8: Overseas Product Director Chapter 8: Overseas Product Director Felicity was stunned too. The president of FR Group himself admitted it? But this identity It was clearly a made-up nonsense by her! Anne and others jumped up as if their seats were lit on fire. It''s unbelievable that George Green, the president of FR Group, acknowledged that fake lowly escort to be the official product director. "What? It''s impossible! " Anne''s jaw was about to fall off her face. Then what about her cousin? What was her cousin? Mia and Susan looked at each other, and their smiles stuck unnaturally on their faces. "Mr. Green, you This Isn''t there only one product director in ourpany? " Ryan was stunned. Obviously, he didn''t expect the result to be this. He didnt even know what to say. "Who told you there was only one product director? Mr. Jason Reed here is the Overseas Product Director. George exined calmly, and solemnly introduced Jason. "Why did you hire him?" Ryan was still a bit confused. He didnt know when the president hired another director. How could it be possible? "Because the overseas department was short of people, so I hired him recently. George spoke naturally, as if he was stating the obvious. "Oh! So that is what happened." Although Ryan nodded, he was still shocked and suspicious. "No! Wait I met himst night. He is the escort from the barst night Anne, shocked out of her wits, blurted out such a sentence. This man with such wild looks and aura was not an escort? Hearing this, George was startled. Sweat starting to pour off his face, he looked at her. This girl really dared to say No one in the world could say this sentence for Jason Reed. Ever. Presumptuous! Have you lost your mind? How dare you insult Mr. Reed like that? " George didn''t dare to offend Jason, so he quickly denounced Anne. If Jason Reed got angry, the whole FR Group would not be able to survive. "But..." Anne refused to ept this and wanted to continue to argue. Ryan gave her a quick intense stare, indicating that she should shut up and not cause more trouble again. Being reprimanded by the president of FR Group, Anne couldn''t reply, and her expressions darkened in a very ugly way. She had never experienced such humiliation in her life. Looking at Felicity, she was forced to quietly sneer in her heart, "How is this possible? Felicity James find a director in a bigpany to be her boyfriend? Is this a movie?" Jason still sat silently, sitting beside Felicity, his face was calm and in. After the whole revtion, everyone was a little surprised at his calmness. Especially Felicity, whose mood was like a roller coaster; up and down and up again in thest hour. "It looks like there was a misunderstanding. Let me just clear that up. " The counselor was relieved. Maybe he was just thinking too much into it; it turned out to be a simple N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content. misunderstanding. Then, he patted Felicity on the shoulder and said, "Felicity, I apologize for wrongly using you. You did not let me down, I am proud." "It alright!" Now that the matter hade to this point, Felicity also tried her best to look polite and forgiving. Although she did not expect that the situation would progress to such a degree and then miraculously turn her defeat into victory? "Did all three of you came here after starting false rumors to have fun?" The counselor looked at Anne, Mia, and Susan and scolded them with unspeakable disappointment. Mia and Susan both being dumbfounded, were confused. Although Anne was still unconvinced, she could only bow down and ept the criticism. "Because you are suspected of spreading rumors about another students character, you will be given an official warning. Also, write a 5000-word long essay outlining your mistake and apologizing for it. Did you all hear that?" The counselor yelled at them angrily. "Yes." The three nodded dejectedly. Now that the truth had been found out, the crowd soon dispersed. Felicity and Jason were thest two to leave the table. Even after walking out of the caf, Felicitys head was still muddled. If it wasn''t for the evening wind, she would have thought she was living in a dream and had no idea how such a miraculous thing could have happened. Originally, she thought that she would be severely humiliated and punished tonight. Who could have thought that this fiasco would end like this? It''s incredible! She couldn''t help looking at the unusually handsome Jason beside her. He was so weird! They just met so casually; How did she end up meeting the director of overseas product director of FR Group? She must have been really fu@king lucky for this. Felicity suddenly asked him, "Are you really the product director of ourpany?" Jason immediately smiled, looking towards her, Huh? Yourpanys president said so himself. Could it still be false? Felicity was a little bit suspicious She felt like something was off, but she couldnt put her finger on it. Jason too did not exin too much, but asked in a delighted tone, "Miss James, I have helped you so much. How are you going to thank me for this?" Felicity paused for a moment, then opened her mouth to speak, but Jason interrupted her suddenly, "Don''t say you want to pay me again!" Every time he thought of the thousand yuan from the morning, he felt very angry. Felicity choked on the words she was about to say. He didnt want money? "What do you want?" Felicity frowned and asked. Since this man was the director of FR Group, he must have hated receiving that money. Jason seemed to be lost in thought. This problem was really worth considering carefully before deciding. Then, Jason looked at Felicity''s clothes carefully. Although she was dressed beautifully and neatly, her clothes were from a regr inexpensive brand. "You dont look rich enough to be able to handle my demands. Unless you are okay with giving me your heart?" Jason narrowed his eyes and squinted at her. Although Felicity doesn''t look very rich, she was beautiful and refined. Her personality was inexplicably intriguing. "No, I am not okay with that!" Felicity raised an eyebrow and waved her hand, refusing straight away. "Wh?" Jason was stumped. This woman actually dared to reject in his face? "You can name any price. I''ll give you the money right away!" Although he was exceptionally handsome, Felicity also had some principles. How can she do such a thing? Anyway, Jason suggested it so lightly that Felicitypletely missed the flirty tone; she just thought he was casually joking. Jasonughed and said, "This little idiot! Really doesnt know whats good for her! In this whole city countless women are falling over each other to get married to me, and this one just carelessly rejected me as if I am nothing?" However, when Jason said this, he just wanted to tease her and make herugh; he had no intention of actually trying to make her promise her heart to him. Moreover, it was light and flirty, indicating that he found her interesting. Chapter 9: Deciding Together Chapter 9: Deciding Together "I don''t want money, but you can agree to a condition." Jason had no shortage of money so he didnt want to ask for such a boring thing. "What condition?" Felicity quickly asked, she was grateful for his help but she hated to be in debt in anyway and wanted to repay him quickly. Jason pondered for a moment and then said, "I haven''t figured out what I want you to do. So, I''ll decide it and tell you in the future. At that time, you must ept!" "OK..." Felicity hesitated for a moment, then she nodded slowly and agreed. But then she quickly added, "But let me tell you in advance, you cant just ask me for anything. The condition has to be legitimate and I have to be okay with it!" She could never agree to extreme conditions, like giving her life or heart to him. She wanted to be clear that they have to decide the condition together. Whatever she does, she has a line she can never cross. "Okay." Jason smiled at her cautiousness. Then he nced at the time and asked, "Where are you going now?" "Back to campus." Felicity answered promptly. "Okay." Jason nodded. Anyway, JC University was nearby. "Then I''ll go now. Bye!" Since the matter has been solved, she should just return to her dorm room. As for Jason, whatever he did; Felicity didnt care where he went after that. After saying that, Felicity waved her hand and walked away. With the weight from her heart finally lifted, and those two-faced poisonous friends finally punished, Felicitys whole body felt lighter. After Felicity left, Garrett suddenly appeared out of nowhere and stood beside Jason. "Boss." Garrett respectfully greets Jason and follows his eyesight to see Felicitys figure in the distance, walking away. Looking at her from afar, he was full of doubts. She looked like a very ordinary female student? Jason was so much better in status and looks, how could she be involved with him? Was it true that Jason has a crush on her? Otherwise, how could he help her do a bunch of inexplicable things? Garrett was full of doubts, but he didnt dare to ask his boss why. Naturally, Jason also didn''t take the initiative to exin anything to him. He just ordered, "Investigate everything about her. I want to know everything." "Sure, Boss." Garrett took the order in a hurry, and then as if he remembered something, he said, "By the way, Mr. George Green of FR Group is still waiting for you in the parking lot." "Okay." Jason nodded and turned to the parking lot. As George saw Jason walking towards him, he immediately respectfully bowed his head and greeted him, "Mr. Reed." Although they were both presidents of their ownpanies, FR Group and Reed Group are not at the same level at all. Compared to Jason, he was nothing at all. Thank you very much for your help just now. N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. Jason''s attitude was quite polite as he thanked George. "Oh! It was nothing. You''re most wee." Georges face was all smiles; its a blessing to be able to help Jason. "And about that project you mentionedst time, have someone send the documents directly to Reed Group tomorrow." Jason''s thanks were not just expressed in words. Since George helped him, it was only natural to express his gratitude. His ways of expressing gratitude were just magnificent like him. "Sure! Sure! I''ll send someone to do it tomorrow! " George seemed to be very excited. Jason pondered for a moment, and then suddenly said, "I hope you can allow me to use the position of overseas product director of yourpany in the future." Hearing this, George was stunned. He obviously knew that Mr. Jason Reed, president of the Reed Group definitely didn''t really want to be a product director at FR Group. It was just that this identity was useful to him. Georges mind worked quickly and he agreed with a smile, "Of course, you can use this identity as long as you need it!" "Thank you, Mr. Green!" Jason politely thanked him. "Mr. Reed, you are wee! Whatever you need, please do not hesitate to ask. We are always on call. He was very honored to help Jason Reed. Jason nodded politely, then said goodbye to him and left with satisfaction. Felicity went back to school, feeling very good. After all, Anne''s and her cronies did not seed, and they ate shit for trying to humiliate her. She felt quite happy. But after returning to the dorm room, Felicity''s still felt a little weird. She was now the only one left in the dorm where the four lived and spent so many happy times With the dorm room, she didnt know why, but her heart also felt empty. Actually, the rtionship between the four girls was quite good. Except for Anne, who was sometimes sulky or moody, they were mostly happy. Since they were all roommates, Felicity didnt care too much about it. After graduation and starting internships, the three of them moved out. Only Felicity stayed behind at the dormitory. She had originally thought they would miss her from time to time Unexpectedly, the three others suddenly changed and began to exclude her from any ns they made. Among them, Anne was the most violent. Felicitymented that at the beginning, she was her best friend. Not wanting to think about it anymore, Felicity adjusted her mood and went to take a shower. When she came back, she took care of some of her work. The next day, Felicity went to work on time. Felicity University''s major was fashion design, and FR Group was one of the top garment enterprises in JC City. And it already had its own fashion brand, so Felicity was looking forward to getting a job there. Her biggest dream in life was to be a first-ss fashion designer. But at that moment, she was a little too far away from her dream, because she was just an intern running errands and had no authority. But as soon as she entered the office area that day, she was called into the Design Directors office. Felicity felt a little uneasy in her heart, "As an intern, its almost impossible to meet the design director himself; theres no way he is calling me into his office unless I did something wrong." Thinking of what happened the day before, Felicity felt even more worried. Walking into the office she felt very nervous. The design director of FR Group was named Samuel Adams. He was a high-level person in the was already a well-known designer in China. He was exactly who Felicity aspired to be in the future. "Hello, Mr. Adams." Upon entering, Felicity greeted him timidly. Chapter 10: Confession Chapter 10: Confession When Samuel heard her voice, he looked up at her. His eyes seemed to be inspecting her lightly. He always paid little attention to interns and had only a slight impression of Felicity. However, Samuel had learned from several employees of thepany that Felicity was very diligent, smart and active in her work. In terms of design, she also seemed to be quite talented. However, in the FR Group where many designers were already present, Felicity''s talent would be quickly suppressed. Plus, because there are so many talents and abilities in thepany that already dazzle him every day. Therefore, Felicity was not excellent enough to be irreceable. This morning, however, the president ordered for her to be made a regr employee. Although Samuel was not entirely convinced, he still had to follow the order from the above, "Miss Felicity James, in view of your excellent performance, thepany has decided to promote you as a regr employee, and send you to the chief designer, Riley Kim, as an assistant." Felicity couldnt believe her ears, she stood there stunned. What just happened? She was promoted to full-time employee ahead of schedule? But judging by the time and the regtions, this was not possible. Her heart was in disbelief. "Did you hear me?" Seeing Felicity stand there stunned for a long time, Samuel asked her. "Yes, yes, I did, thank you. Thank you, Mr. Adams!" Felicity immediately recovers from her shock, bowing and thanking Adams at the same time. Riley Kim was a well-known chief designer in China. She was very happy to be given the chance to work under him. Although she didnt know why the director suddenly promoted her to a regr employee in advance, Felicity was still very grateful. "Work hard and don''t let thepany down!" Samuel nodded and said. "I will do my best! Felicity happily answered him. Out of the director''s office, she would have thought this was a dream if her heart wasnt beating crazily. This felt very sudden. She must seize the opportunity and show her potential. Felicity suddenly felt that her dream was closer to her, and she became more diligent. At Reed Group Garrett was very efficient. Early in the morning, ording to the order of the president, he submitted all the information he could find about Felicity. Jason took it and read through it carefully. His expressions changed slightly. He originally thought that Felicity was just a regr student, not rich. But he didn''t expect that Felicity was the daughter of the James Group! But Felicity James was not favored by her family. She has a father, a stepmother, and a stepsister; however, she was not living like a princess with her family. A few years ago, Felicity seemed to have broken up with her family. After the fall out, she moved out. ording to the information, she had worked in many ces and seemed to rely on herself to do everything. While reading, Jason habitually tapped the table with his fingers. After reading, he raised his eyes and asked Garrett, "Whatpany is this James Group? Why doesnt the name ring a bell?" "Its just a small group." Garrett said quickly. Jason nodded. Since it was a smallpany, he naturally didn''t remember it. After reading the documents, Jason put them away. Then he ordered Garrett, "Keep an eye out for new information on her and report to me at any time." Garrett was slightly surprised. The president actually asked him to keep an eye on a woman for him? That has never happened before! Many doubts resurfaced in his mind again. Garrett couldn''t help asking, "Boss, how do you know Miss James" Are you tempted? N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. But before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Jason, "Since you are talking so much, why don''t you stay at night and work overtime? " When Garrett heard him say that, he immediately knew that his boss didn''t want to talk about it and he didn''t dare to ask any more questions; he became quiet. What a joke! I''m tired to working, but he was suggesting I work overtime. Hes not human, right? Although Felicity became a full-time employee, her workload was twice as much as usual. After a busy but fulfilling day, Felicity was already tired of backache, but she felt very happy. She decided that after work, she would go to the school cafeteria for a big meal! The food there was not only cheap, but also very substantial; It was a good ce to eat. But as Felicity walked to the school gate, she felt something was off There were a lot of people around and it was very noisy. She didnt know what was happening but it looked like some party. Felicity never liked parties so she decided to take a detour. But as soon as she was about to leave, she heard someone calling her name. Who was calling her? Felicity paused for a moment in doubt, and then approached the group of people, wanting to see who called her. The crowd was bustling, so she had to push people asideyer byyer and finally got close to the sound source. There was a boy standing in the middle of the crowd. He had made a heart out of rose petals on the ground. The boy looked very decent and handsome. He was dressed up and was holding a bouquet of roses in his hand. Many onlookers around him were whispering, "Lucas the handsome, is waiting to confess his feelings for Felicity James." "Oh God! Why is it always Felicity James?" "Ha ha, shes the goddess of fashion design department..." At that moment, someone with sharp eyes, saw Felicity and immediately eximed, "Hey! Isn''t that Felicity James over there?" Everyone looked around, and the boy with the bouquet in his hand also looked over. Felicity instantly recognized him. His name was Lucas Branson. He was very rich and studied in the Department of Finance. With a distinguished family background, he was also extraordinarily handsome. His nickname was Lucas the Handsome and was somewhat of a "male god" in the eyes of many female students. When they saw Felicity James, they immediately pointed at her and started to talk. "This girl! she isnt that pretty. Howe two of our most handsome guys confess to her?" "She''s lucky, isn''t she?" "What''s the use? She didnt even look at David Cass. He is so handsome, but she just rejected him. "That is how it is. The ones who are pretty and get good-grades, they have the status to get many confessions!" The students all had different opinions, and they didnt bother to keep their voices low. Felicity felt extremely embarrassed listening to all this. Lucas came walking towards her with quick steps and gently said to her, "Felicity, you are back atst. I have been waiting for you for a long time." Felicity smiled awkwardly; she did not know what to say. "I''ve liked you for a long time. I hope you can be my girlfriend!" Lucas did not shy away and confessed to her directly in front of everyone. Chapter 11: Rejection Chapter 11: Rejection As soon as the confession came out of his mouth, Felicity frowned, at a loss for words. After Lucas confessed, the crowd was in an uproar; everyone eximed and roared at the same time. "Say yes! Say yes!" "Oh God! Lucas is so straightforward, but so romantic!" Being watched by so many people, Felicity bit her lips, her face turning red in embarrassment. "Look, Felicity is blushing!" "She must have some feelings for Lucas!" At that moment, not far from the school gate, stood a man d in ck who witnessed the whole scene. He took out his cell phone and immediately called Jason, "Boss! Someone just confessed to Miss James, at the school gate." Anne and Mia were also at the scene in the crowd. Seeing what happened, their expressions darkened. Felicity James was confessed to again!!! And by Lucas the Handsome? They came to the school today to submit a five-thousand-word apology essay. Who knew, theyd get to witness such a scene right before leaving. Their moods were ruined even further by this. Felicity wasnt that pretty; why does she end up stealing the limelight everywhere? "This slutty bitch!" Anne gnashed her teeth in anger. The sound of her cursing fell into the ears of students near her. Several of them immediately looked around and saw them three standing there. Someone said, "Arent these Felicity''s roommates?" "Looks like them! Didnt Anne say that Felicity went to the bar with an escort to spend the night? Is that true?" "What? Oh no! Why would Lucas confess to such a woman? Someone nearby quickly corrected them, "Hey, the counselor rified that it''s a rumor. Anne and those others, they''ve all been punished!" "Yeah, I heard they came here today to submit their apology essay." "Hah! So, they were so jealous of Felicity James that they spread such rumors?" Thements continued around them. Hearing thesements, Anne and the other two became even angrier, their faces darkened. Their eyes turned into sharp arrows, shooting looks of hatred at Felicity, who was the main focus of the crowds around them. But Felicity had no time to pay attention to them. Her brain felt hurting and she didn''t know how to handle the situation. Looking at the atmosphere, Lucas opened his mouth again and said to her sweetly, "Felicity James, I have liked you for a long time, today I summoned up the courage to confess my feelings! I hope you can ept my heart Felicity looked extremely embarrassed and wanted to say no. Looking at her hesitating to respond, the students around them could not help but guess the oue, Look at her, do you think shed say yes? "I think shell. I mean, its Lucas the Handsome. There is a long queue of women for him just waiting to get a chance." "But Felicity looks a bit embarrassed, so maybe its not a yes..." The student beside him lowered his voice and said, "Not necessarily. Lucass family is so rich. Felicity cant even dream of being that rich, she cant match Lucas in status. I think she is not deserving of Lucas." "Oh! Shut up, being so pretty is enough!" Listening to everyone''sments, Lucas felt a bit more confident and he asked her firmly, "Felicity, do you want to be my girlfriend?" Felicity didn''t want to hurt Lucass feelings in public, but she had to respond to him and make herself clear, so she said helplessly, "Im sorry, Lucas! I cant." Although her voice was very low, it was heard clearly by the people around her. As soon as she said this, the crowd got into an uproar. To every ones surprise, Felicitys standards were so high that she even rejected Lucas the Handsome in front of everyone. Lucas also felt humiliated and embarrassed to be rejected in front of everyone, but he kept his affectionate tone as he said, "Felicity, think about it some more. I am now in charge of business in my ownpany, I can give you a better life in the future. I will prove to you that choosing me is not a mistake! I hope you can give me a chance! " Seeing Lucas''s infatuated tone, the people around them looked at them sourly. Anne, Susan and Mia were beyond jealousy. The Branson Group, owned by Lucass family was huge in the city, their so-called executive boyfriends could neverpare to Lucas. They really couldnt see how Felicity got so lucky. Seeing Lucas insist so boldly, Felicity felt a bit annoyed. She frowned slightly; she didnt want to keep someone hanging on false hope. She just wanted to focus on her work and she had no time for a rtionship, so she decided to use Jason Reed again and said, "Lucas, I already have a boyfriend." Lucas was stunned for a moment; he couldnt help but frown at her, "This is your excuse to reject me?" "I do have a boyfriend!" Felicity firmly repeated again. Lucass face fell gloomily, "Don''t lie to me. The counselor has already rified that you didnt go with that escort." "Yes, I didn''t! But I do have a boyfriend." Felicity said it again. Lucas couldn''t help getting angry, "Felicity, you are making a mistake! Me liking you is a blessing to you, but you are so pretentious. This is not a good habit, Felicity, men don''t like it. " Felicity did not expect him to turn hostile so quickly; she stood there, shocked. Gaining herposure back, she gave him an icy stare, and said coldly, "Lucas, speak carefully, please. And, I too don''t like two-faced assholes, who confess their love one second and insult the next second. Do you like doing this? It is really low of you! " "Felicity...!" Lucas red at Felicity angrily. How dared she to say so in his face? "I didn''t ask you to like me. You made this whole scene yourself. I dont have to be criminalized for humiliating you, you did this to yourself. I hope you will not do this again in the future." Felicity knew that he felt humiliated, but she couldnt allow him to humiliate her in return, so she made it clear. "Some people really like walking all over the other person! If a person like Lucas likes you, its the most fortunate thing that can happen in your lifetime. But you still act arrogantly? Who do you think you are, some rich princess?" Anne, who was still brooding over Felicity''s luck couldnt keep herself frommenting. She couldn''t help but gloat at her humiliation.N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content. "Exactly! There are so many girls here who like Lucas and would do anything to be his girlfriend, but you dared to reject him. What do you think the other girls are, who are you to look down upon them?" Mia assisted Anne from the side; her words instantly attracted hostility from the girls in the crowd. True, isnt Felicity''s behavior despising them? "Who do you think you are?" "Dared to reject Mr. Perfect? A wave of nasty insultingments rose up around her; Felicity was not even surprised by this anymore. She didn''t want to continue to argue with these people, so she turned around, ready to leave. "Where are you going? Make it clear! " Anne stopped her by standing in front of her; the students around her also didnt let Felicity leave. Lucas said angrily, "Felicity, you must exin yourself today." Felicity also got angry, she said, "Romantic feelings for a person cant be forced on them. I like my boyfriend very much; I love him very much. No matter how handsome the other man is, no one else can enter my heart!" Thispletely infuriated Lucas. His face looked cold and ugly as he grasped Felicity''s arm and said, "Today, you will have to ept my confession!" Since the soft and sweet Lucas didnt work on her, it was time to show her the other side! Felicity became more and more angry and desperate in her attempts to make him let go of her, "Please! Just let me go!" Chapter 12: My Girlfriend Is Not for Stealing Chapter 12: My Girlfriend Is Not for Stealing "You humiliated me today. How can I just let you leave like this?" Lucas held her arm as if he had determined not to let her leave. The woman had the guts to reject him publicly, humiliated him; naturally, he could not let this go. Just when Felicity and Lucas were standing there facing each other, a ck Rolls Royce stopped at the school gate. The arrival of this luxury car attracted the attention of many students, as expected. A person, who can afford to drive Rolls Royce and a limited edition at that, must have an outstanding identity! Amidst the gaze of many people, a figure finally opened the door and stepped vigorously out of the car. As soon as the man appeared, there was a collective gasp. Because this man was exquisitely handsome. His perfect facial features were exquisite as if they were carved carefully by God; His powerful aura was like that of an emperor, noble and respectable but also distant and cold. He was enchanting and majestic in the way he walked. All the girls in the crowd eximed. "My God! What a handsome man!" N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. "Who is he? I dont think a person who owns such a car could be someone ordinary." While people were busy discussing his beauty and identity, the man walked through the crowd as if he was alone. As soon as he reached Felicity, he coldly said to Lucas, "Can you let go of my girlfriend?" As soon as he said this, everyone had the sudden realization. "Oh fuck! Is that Felicitys boyfriend? Isn''t he way too handsome to be allowed? " "It''s no wonder Felicity doesn''t like Lucas. Her boyfriend is so handsome that Lucas looks like trash in front of him..." Just as all the people stood there talking excitedly, Felicity too was iparably astonished. She never expected that Jason could appear there. Lucas was irritated in his heart too. He frowned slightly and looked up and down at Jason with a displeased expression. Was this man really Felicity''s boyfriend? He did look pretty handsome and rich; his aura was also very strong, overwhelming his. Lucas thought to himself. What made Lucas even displeased is that he drove a Rolls Royce. It seemed that he had a lot of money! This made him very ufortable. How can Felicity''s boyfriend be more handsome and richer than himself? "Are you Felicity''s boyfriend?" Lucas squinted at Jason disdainfully, trying to look strong and indifferent. "Let her go, I don''t want to repeat it!" Jason stared at Lucas expressionlessly, his eyes dominating, leaving the people around them breathless. Lucass face did not look good, with his heart full of anger, he held on to Felicitys arm even more tightly. "Who do you think you are to order me around? I''ll tell you how it is! I like this woman. From today on, she is my girlfriend. If you are smart, then stay away from her. " Lucas stuffed his voice full of amanding tone, trying to use it to defeat Jason and show everyone who the real alpha is. Jason snorted coldly and nced up and down at Lucas. This boy really overestimated himself. "Do you think if you puff up and be loud, you could get away with stealing someone elses girlfriend so tantly? Are you sure you want to y this game with me?" Jason''s thin lips rose in a scornful arc. Lucas raised an eyebrow and sneered, "Hah! There is no one I cant get in this world!" Then to try and defeat Jason, he continued in an ostentatious tone, "Do you know the Branson Group? It is my family''s! " "So?" Jasons face didnt show any feart or shock, instead he looked at Lucas with his head tilted to the side confused like a child. When his words failed to have the desired effect on Jason, Lucas continued spitefully to try and add fire to fuel, So, you wake up and face the reality! You can''t ever give Felicity the extraordinary life I can! If I say so much as a word, you can lose your job. What are you fighting me for?" "And that car of yours, its not like you can afford it. Its rented, right? Haha... " Felicity couldnt stand it anymore; she hated his parvenu tone. "I don''t need an extraordinary life. Besides, my boyfriend is a senior executive in FR Group, and his sry is not low." After all, Jason had helped her. Felicity couldnt stand Lucas ridiculing him on the spot, so she stood by Jason as if she was "protecting" him from nder. Jason looked down at her thoughtfully. Is this little idiot defending him or herself? Seeing that Felicity was helping Jason caused Lucas to fall even lower; he immediately retorted, "An executive? What can this lowly executive offer you? Not much!" "I dont fucking care!" Felicity snapped decisively. "Well, I advise you to think it over! If you marry me in the future, you will be the daughter-inw of the Branson Group. Do you know how many people dream of that life? And not many people are offered this so nicely!" Lucas med Felicity for being ungrateful and losing the chance of her life as he tried to reason with her. Jason sneered at him, "Yeah yeah! It all sounds dreamy, but my girlfriend is not materialistic. She already has me in her heart. Dear, am I right?" When he spoke, Jason naturally put his arm around Felicity''s waist, and made her break free from Lucas''s hands. Felicity, held by him in such an intimate way, felt a little uneasy, but she still nodded and said with a smile, Yes!" Looking at them being so in love, melting in each others arms, Lucass eyes spat fire. They actually dare to show-off their love in front of him like this? Lucas narrowed his eyes at Felicity and asked angrily, Do you really want to offend me because of this man?" "As I said, love cant be forced!" Felicity stressed it again. Lucas, still not epting his defeat, warned her, "You know what I can do. Are you really not afraid that I can make you and your boyfriend lose your jobs?" For him, the man behind Branson Group, moving a couple of people out of FR Group was a piece of cake. Felicity frowned,pletely disgusted by him, and retorted right back at him, "Lucas Branson, must you fall this low? Plus, having money doesnt make you a god! Just stay away from me in the future... " Saying that, Felicity took Jasons hand in hers and said, "Let''s go." However, Jason did not move, he looked at her with a smile, "No hurry, sweetheart! I still have something to say!" Felicity was dubious but trusted him. Jason took two steps near Lucas. Standing in front of Jason, Lucas looked weak, like a tantrum-throwing child. Somehow, as Jason stepped towards him, Lucas felt inexplicably belittled in front of him, his imposing manner and puffed up chest gone. "Little boy! The thing I hate the most in life is when people threaten me! In addition, my girlfriend is not for stealing. Yous better take your little tricks somewhere else." Jason spoke every word clearly, sonorous and forceful. Lucas wanted to say something to fight back but at that moment Jason snatched the bouquet of roses from his hands. Then Jason threw the roses on the ground, stepped on it with one foot and crushed them. The crowd was silent, and everyone was shocked. Lucas also couldnt believe his eyes. He was stupefied in his ce. He had never thought that anyone could ever dare to do this to him. There were no emotions on Jasons face as he pulled Felicity with him and left. Chapter 13: Home Chapter 13: Home Lucas was left behind, and his face was almost distorted with anger. Since he was born, no one ever dared to treat him like this. Who is this man? Lucas clenched his jaw. He could never let it go. If he didnt get his revenge, he swore he wont call himself a man! Felicity and Jason got in the car together. Having left the crowd, Felicity took a deep breath of relief and kept a suitable distance from Jason. Jason felt her sudden and obvious alienation, but he didnt show it in his behavior. "How did youe here all of a sudden?" Felicity was still a little confused and asked. "I was just passing by." Jason answered nonchntly. "Really? It is a bit far away from thepany..." Felicity didnt know what to believe, he was obviously a little suspicious. However, Jason did not exin, but directly changed the topic, "What you did just now, wont cause you any trouble, right?" "It shouldn''t." Felicity replied, thinking that Lucas could not be narrow-minded and conceited to that extent. No matter what he said, there was really no reason for a person of such status, Lucas the Handsome, the rich God of the university, to pick a fight with someone like her. Then she said, "Anyway, thank you for today. You can just drop me off nearby." Felicity was extremely grateful to Jason for showing up there just in time. If it wasnt for him, shed have a very hard time trying to resolve that situation. "Are you going back to the campus?" Jason asked. "No! With what just happened, going back was out of question for Felicity. Besides, the crowd might be waiting for her and tear her to pieces with nder if she went back. "Where are you going to go if youre noting back to the campus? Jason asked subconsciously. "I''ll go home." Felicity replied. If she wasnt going back to her dorm room, then naturally the other option was home. Hearing this, Jason couldnt help but think about the information his assistant had collected for him. There was Felicity''s family background information in it. ording to the information, Felicity was not on speaking terms with her family and had left her home a long time ago. Usually, Felicity lived in the university campus dormitory. However, although Jason was suspicious, he couldnt just ask her directly and mention the background check he did on her. So, he simply said, "Tell me the address. I''ll drop you there." But Felicity decisively refused, "No! Its fine. Just drop me off here now." After all, it was quite embarrassing always troubling him with her problems. "No, I can''t let a woman go home alone at night." Jason was reasonable, which made Felicity find it difficult to refuse. She could never win with him, which irritated her a little. Finally, she agreed and just said, "Its in the old urban area." Anyway, it''s the rush hour for taxis. If he didnt want to drop her off here, then she was fine with it. Jason was taken aback. That part of the city was very old, in which there were mostly apartments. And many apartments there were in the process of demolition and relocation, Felicity lived there? But then, she had already broken up with her family, so, it must be impossible for her to go back to live with them. Jasons brain was working it all out very fast, but when he asked her, he kept his tone casual and light, "Do you live there?" Felicity did not speak, but nodded gently. A few years ago, after her rtionship with her family ended, she moved into the old apartment with her mother and the two depended on each other. All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. But sometimeter, her mother fell ill, although her condition was not very serious, she needed to rely on drugs, and so her mother stayed in the hospital for a long time. In the end, Felicity went to university, and the old apartment was left empty, as there was basically no one living there. Due to her part-time job, Felicity chose to live in the campus dormitory and only went back home once a week on weekends. After all, the house needed to be looked after and cleaned. But she kept these things buried deep in her heart and never told anyone. Besides, Jason and she were not familiar enough with each other for her to tell him all this. They had only met three times. Even though when they met for the first time the most preposterous thing happened, it was an unexpected thing, which neither of them had ever thought of. Therefore, it was even more impossible for Felicity to share her life story with him. Seeing that Felicity was not willing to say anything, Jason nodded politely and did not press the matter any further. Then, he took Felicity to the old urban area. The old urban area was quite far away from JC University. Jason drove for half an hour and finally arrived at the gate of the apartmentplex. Of course, this ce was notparable to the new urban area. There were no people on the road at night and the condition of the old apartments revealed the effects of time on them. There were very few and only five or six floored buildings. Jason seldom came to such ces. "Its here. I''ll just get off here." Felicity said. "Okay." Hearing this, Jason stopped the car. "Thank you. Bye." Felicity unfastened her seat belt and smiled lightly at Jason. "Mm-hmm." Jason nodded gently. After Felicity left, Jason stayed behind in the parked car, looking at Felicitys retreating back in the dark. He didn''t drive away until she walked upstairs and disappeared into the night. When Felicity got home, it waspletely dark. She groped around on the wall, found the light switch, and turned on the light. Perhaps it was because it had been vacant for so long, the house was covered in a lightyer of dust. The light was weak and casted shadows on the walls. It was extremely quiet, only the seconds hand moving on the clock on the wall could be heard. Besides it there was silence. As Felicity stepped into the apartment, she inexplicably felt lonely. With a sigh, Felicity put down her bag and began to clean. This was why she never likeding home every week, because there was no one here, her heart always fell into mncholy and loneliness. However, even though the apartment was empty, it held some of the best memories for her and her mother. Although it was old, it carried many warm and loving memories. Even though Felicitys current situation was miserable, she could not forget those beautiful things. This was also the reason why Felicity still payed rent and kept the apartment. After all, her mother really liked this ce. And her mother will eventually get better. After she gets well, she and Felicity can live here happily. As these thoughts sh across Felicitys mind, she couldnt help but smile lightly, the speed of cleaning also increased cheerfully. When everything was cleaned, it was already an hourter After Felicity took a shower, she fell mindlessly on the bed. The mattress was soft, and the quilt was warm andfortable. It was a tiring day for her; she fell asleep shortly after falling into bed. Before sleep came, she was still thinking about the next day when shed go to visit her mother in the hospital. Chapter 14: Can You Get Out? Chapter 14: Can You Get Out? The next morning. She could go to work a bitte so she decided to sleepfortably until she waked up naturally. She wanted to feel rxed and refreshed. But while she was still sleeping, she was wakened by the loud sound of her doorbell. Felicity rubbed her sleepy eyes, put on a jacket over her pajamas and went to open the door. She nced through the door that she opened to a crack and saw a middle-aged couple standing outside. After seeing them, Felicitys face fell in distaste and she closed the door with a flick of her hand. She didn''t want to see them again, not even for a second. But as she was closing the door, the man outside resisted forcibly and didnt let her close it. Then, the man opened his mouth angrily and began to shout at her, "Evil little ungrateful girl! Is this how you greet your father?" Felicitys expressions were cold and hard as she snapped back at him, "I don''t have a father. You can leave!" Her words made Stanley James fire up with anger; his face turned ugly. The woman beside him said, "Oh, if you don''t care about whether your mother lives or dies, sure go ahead and close the door!" Ste Cooper had a sneer on her face, her mouth opened in a cold threat. Hearing this, Felicity felt as if she got stabbed in her heart, she couldnt help but shudder in shock. She broke into a cold sweat. Trying to keep herposure, she stopped trying to close the door and asked coldly, "What do you mean?" "Let us in first!" Stanley pushed open the door Felicity was blocking and entered her apartment with his wife Ste. Felicity was forced to endure them; for the safety of her mother, she could not say anything. She stood there rigidly, looking at her father and his wife coldly, not letting her guard down. "Tut Tut! This is really shabby. Is this chair for people to sit on?" Ste looked around the apartment, apparently disgusted at the simplicity of the furniture. Felicity felt a wave of anger rising in her; she snapped angrily, "Did I ask you to sit? Dont get my chair dirty!" She did not wee them in the first ce, and when she heard that, she could no longer be polite. This apartment belonged to her and her mother; outsiders were not weed toe and to point at things with disgust. Stes expressions darkened dangerously in an instant and she angrily rebuked Felicity, "Is this how you talk to your elders? Dont you have any manners? Is this what your mother taught you? " Felicity sneered, "It''s none of your goddamn business! Elders? Don''t disgust me. If you have something to say, say it quickly and leave! An outsider, a mistress, destroying someones family How could such a person be regarded respectfully as an elder? Did she even deserve respect? When Stanley heard Felicitys words for his current wife, he got angry too, "Hold your tongue Felicity! Did you ever learn anything, or are youpletely manner-less? His daughter was capable of nothing but just running her mouth disrespectfully! Felicitys eyebrows knitted together in anger as she retorted sarcastically, "I didnt have a father to teach me, so of course, I have no manners. If you cant handle it, then you are free to leave. No ones making you stay here on gunpoint." Seeing Felicity indirectly insult him, Stanley became even angrier, but he still forced himself to endure it. After all, he came here with a purpose. He must make himself clear. "I came here to tell you something, I''ll leave after Im done." Stanley clearly indicated his intention. Fine! Tell me." Felicity didn''t want to argue with them anymore. "I came here today to discuss your marriage." Stanley wasted no time in beating around the bush; he went straight to the point. Hearing this, Felicity frowned. Marriage? "What marriage?" She had a bad feeling in her heart, and it was showing clearly on her face. "You have now graduated from university. With your current living situation, you wont be able to find a good job. So, I have arranged a marriage for you. Finding a good family for you to marry into is also a good opportunity for us as a family." Stanley clearly and logically exined that what he wants is for Felicity to marry the person she chose for her. "You don''t have to worry about it!" Felicity just couldnt believe that her father could ever have such a kind of intention for her? Would he ever arrange her marriage without any benefit for himself? No! It was probably just for his own benefit. "Don''t be so negative about it. The other party is the rich and powerful Rhodes family!" Stanley entuated his tone, emphasizing on the rich and powerful Rhodes family. Felicitys expressions immediately became cold. Did her father n this? Arranged her marriage in a rich family for his own good? And these so-called Rhodes, she had never heard of them. What even was this? What kind of a person would force his daughter to marry a person she had never N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. even met, like in ancient times? Thinking this, Felicity immediately replied, "If you have not forgotten, I am no longer your daughter, I left you and your family a long time ago. Since when are you qualified to arrange my marriage?" From the moment her mother and father divorced, Felicity only knew her mother. As for this cold-blooded and heartless father, Felicity had long forgotten him. Stanley said with a sneer, Don''t forget, you are still registered in the James family byw. You are Felicity James and I am your father; you have to listen to what I say." Stanley clearly showed his position and authority, his voice full of tough attitude. "What if I disagree?" Felicity raised an eyebrow in disdain and asked. "I must also tell you that I am not here to discuss it with you, but to inform you about it. The Rhodes is extremely wealthy. Consider it a blessing that their son has taken a liking to you." Stanley snorted. Since when did Felicitys opinion matter? She had no right, no qualifications to even consider rejecting this offer, so she must agree to this. Although Felicity did not believe a word he said, she didnt want to continue to argue with him in this matter. She disdainfully asked, "If you are done talking, then can you get out from here?" She was so disgusted that she didn''t feel anything telling her father to get lost. "Felicity, don''t be so shameless!" Ste couldnt ignore this attitude and immediately shouted at her angrily. "You have no ce to speak here! Don''t forget, this is my home! If you don''t leave right now, I''ll call the police! " Felicity red at them, her voice full of disgust and threat. Stanley didn''t expect that she would go to such length to defy him, he cried in anger and desperation, "You will regret itter!" "Get out!" Felicity was almost roaring now; she pointed to the door to make them leave immediately. Ste still had something to say but, Stanley pulled her with him. He was very angry and did not want to stay there any longer. Whenever they met, the father and daughter fought as if they were at war with each other. It was as if there was a deep-rooted hatred between them. After the door closed, Felicity stood there, still full of hate and anger. Chapter 15: Fired Chapter 15: Fired She tried to squeeze out a smile, trying to keep her mood from being affected by her family. They were not her families any longer. Back then, her mother stood beside her father in everything. She was the woman who apanied Stanley James in the most difficult times. But what happened after that? Who could have thought that Stanley had been out and sowing his wild oats? In the end, his wife was forced to leave after divorce, but in the blink of an eye he married that mistress and brought her home That kind of irresponsible, ungrateful man, Felicity did not expect anything good from him. Felicity felt really aggrieved for her mother. She tried to suppress her sadness, cleaned up briefly, and went out to work. When she got to the office, everything went as usual. No matter how many emotional twists and turns Felicity had to experience in the morning, she still had to face all her work with a positive attitude. She must be responsible and work harder to give her mother a better life. She was not going to allow her father and stepmother to humiliate them again and again Felicity was quite talented and qualified. Even though she was promoted to a full-time employee before her internship ended, her ability to work was no less than that of experienced employees. George Green was very satisfied with his decision of giving her a full-time job. He felt lucky to have found such a good employee without even looking. But who knew this was going to end this way? When he came into the office, the secretary told him bad news. "Mr. Green, the higher ups want you to fire Miss Felicity James." said the secretary. "What? Why? " George felt confused. What does Felicity Jamess job here have to do with anything? It was unreasonable to fire someone who had just be a full-time employee. Even if someone must be fired, there should be a proper reason for it. "Well, they didnt specify but it seems to be connected to the Branson Group. He said that this is the Presidents sons wish, so you should quickly handle it." The secretary could only inform what was told about the matter, but the specific reason for dismissal of Felicity James was not clear. "But..." George hesitated. "Besides, is there an overseas product director in ourpany? ording to the orders, that man must be fired too And the order of dismissal of these two people was not for work reasons, but to please the Branson Groups owner. It was not worthy enough to offend the owner of Branson Group just to save two employees. Just firing Felicity was fine for George. But hearing that he had to fire Jason Reed together with her, George was shocked. No matter whats worth what, offending Jason Reed was really not worth it. "Okay. You can leave. I''ll take care of it myself." George knew that the secretary did not understand anything, so he let her go first. Others may not know who the overseas product director was, but he knew! It was Jason Reed, the president of the Reed Group. For now, he had lowered his status to take an identity at FR Group, but he was still the president of a hugepany. Who dared to fire him? What the hell was this situation?! George calmed himself down for a while and then ordered someone to call Felicity in his office. He needed to understand the whole situation first. Of course, the Branson Group was not easy to provoke, but Jason Reed was the one he couldn''t afford to offend even if his life was on the line. After a while, Felicity came to the presidents office. "Hello, Mr. Green!" Felicity respectfully greeted him from the door. "Yes, Miss James, I asked for your presence today to ask you some questions. No need to be nervous..." George saw that Felicity looked a little embarrassed, so he tried to rx her. "Okay." Felicity nodded and entered the office, but she was a little nervous. "Do you know the son of the Branson Groups owner?" George asked her. "I don''t think so." Felicity thought for a few seconds, with apparent confusion on her face. She did not know such a person. "Really? You dont know?" George asked again. If she doesnt know him, then why did they make such a request? Right then, Lucas Branson crossed Felicitys mind. Could it be him? So, she tentatively asked, "I know a person whose surname is Branson, Lucas Branson. Could it be N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content. him?" Hearing the name, George quickly nodded, "Yes! That''s him! He is your ssmate? " "Yes, he is in my university. What''s the matter?" Felicity was a little confused about the situation. "Look! I''ll tell you directly. Today, the superiors ordered me to fire you and Jason Reed from the it in private." Every time George mentioned Jason Reed, he couldn''t help but stutter, trying his best to keep his real identity a secret. After all, it was not a name he could say easily without proper respect. "Fire us?" Hearing this, Felicity was stunned in her ce. "Yes, fire you. Miss James, you are a good employee, I''m not sure what happened between you and" George knew that both Branson Group and Reed group could not be messed with. In such a situation, if both parties involved could solve it between them, then FR Group wont have to suffer any losses. Therefore, he exined this to Felicity without any evasiveness. "This way, we can take care of it and solve it without anyone losing." Listening to him, Felicity thought of the threats Lucas made. She previously thought he was just being childish; she didn''t expect that Lucas was such a big asshole to actually do such a thing. But he could have just aimed his anger at her. Why did he involve Jason in this? It would have been fine if she was fired alone, but Felicity could never harm Jason. "Well." George nodded his head. He couldn''t fire them like that. Therefore, Felicity asked for a leave for the rest of the day and went directly to JC University in the afternoon. Since Lucas was rejected after his grand confession in front of a crowd, the news had spread far and it was the gossip of the year in the campus. That morning, as he walked around the campus, he could feel people stare at him with strange expressions. However, they did not dare to gossip about him openly, so they quietly talked behind his back. To the extent that a private chat was made among the students just to gossip about that incident. Of course, everyone enjoyed gossip more than anything else, and this was particrly juicy as it was about the historic rejection of Lucas the Handsome. "Why does Lucas look so dark and dull today?" "The roses he gave to Felicity yesterday were directly crushed by her boyfriend right in front of him. Hah! Everyone is talking about it!" "Oh My God! How did I miss such a spectacr scene?" "Yeah, you really missed the biggest drama this year so far. Let me tell you, Felicitys boyfriend is so handsome that everyone lost their minds, men and women alike!" "Hey! Isnt that Felicity James walking towards our ssroom?" Hearing that, many people looked out into the corridor. Chapter 16: I Will Go Back and Resign Chapter 16: I Will Go Back and Resign After Felicity reached the campus, she too felt peoples eyes on her in a different way and that the atmosphere was a bit strange. Her expressions were a little ugly and angry as she walked towards Lucas''s ssroom. Everyone knew that Lucas was rejected the day before, so naturally seeing Felicity walk towards him attracted much unwanted attention from gossiping students. Some of the students present there could not help but exim in excitement. The noise in the corridor attracted Lucass attention. However, he was not particrly surprised, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly in a knowing smile, as if he had expected it. He crossed his legs and satfortably in his seat and calmly watched Felicity walk towards him. "I want to talk to you." Felicity said coldly. "You and I have nothing to talk about!" Lucas sneered, not wanting to cooperate. Felicity was extremely angry as she used him directly, "Arent you going too far? I rejected you so you just went on pressuring others with your power to fire me from my job? Do you even know how many people are getting hurt by your rash decision? " Felicity didnt want Jason to be involved in her affairs and lose his job. As soon as she said this, everyone around looked rmed. This drama was bing way more interesting to ignore. But Lucas didnt care everyone listening. He raised an eyebrow at her and mocked, "haha! I just felt like it! Why? Wheres your tough boyfriend now? Come on, call him here again? " Felicity was so angry that she couldn''t stop shaking; she still tried desperately to restrain herself and She didn''t want to involve others in getting humiliated with her, and she said with forbearance, "Your problem is with me! Dont bring others into it! Lucas approached her, seemingly interested and said, "Oh Yeah? Fine! Apologize for the humiliating rejection that you pped in my face yesterday. Will you?" "Fine!" Felicity said faintly, trying to contain her anger. "Okay then, let me see your sincerity." Lucas continued to press her for an apology. Felicity gritted her teeth and bowed deeply in front of Lucas to apologize in front of all the people. "I''m sorry that I rejected your proposal yesterday and humiliated you. I hope you can forgive me." The onlookersughed at her. Yesterday, she was acted so bold and noble - she wasnt this submissive. What happened for her to bow so deeply and apologize today? Did she really overestimate herself? Not knowing her status? "Will this do?" Felicity asked, trying to suppress her emotions, also trying to ignore the whispers around her. "No!" Lucas refused decisively in a yful tone. If sorry could solve all the problems then all the criminals would be set loose after saying a mere sorry. "What would it take to satisfy you?" Felicity tried to swallow her anger. "Oh! I am not that hard to satisfy. Your resignation! Or if your boyfriend quitting his job! Choose one, and Id let you off the hook and not make it difficult for you anymore." Lucas raised his tone in a dominating way and said with a smile. Felicity did not reply, she tightly clenched her fists. Off the hook? Ugh! He was doing all this on purpose? Making it difficult? If she were to quit her job, her internship will be interrupted, and she would have trouble graduating in the future. It was impossible to even think of Jason Reed resigning. He was not rted to her; she couldnt just ept his help first and then drag him down with herter. She could never do that. It was a difficult choice to make, but if she didnt choose, maybe both of them will be fired. Felicity bit her lips. For the first time in her life, she resented herself for being ipetent. Looking at Felicity being deliberately humiliated and trying to keep herposure, some students felt pity for her, and their hearts softened. "Isnt Lucas going too far?" "Yeah! He cant just ruin someones career over a rejection..." "I feel bad for Felicity; she is put in such a hard spot. She is so brave to take responsibility." "Yeah, I feel a little sympathy for her." But no one dared to stand up and speak. They just whispered among themselves. After all, the power of Lucas Branson, the son of the owner of Branson group, was huge. No one dared to offend him. "Why, isnt a multiple-choice question easier to do? Arent you a top student?" Lucas began to satirize Felicity with indirect insults, forcing her to make a decision. At that moment, Felicity could only stand there and re at him fiercely; there was no way out for her. At that moment, a man''s voice came directly scolding Lucas. "Lucas! Are you even a man? The speaker was actually David Cass. As one of the most popr students in university, David had always been gentle and polite, and was particrly handsome. He had won the hearts of many people. As some of the girls saw him approaching, they couldnt help feeling jealous. Why there were so many handsome men around Felicity James? As Lucas saw him approach and speak for Felicity, he also couldn''t help but frown. In terms of family background and power, he was not afraid of David. Davids family was of well-educated people but they were notparable in any way to Lucass status. So, Lucas began to sneer, "Ah! David, since when did you begin to defend her? If I remember correctly, you too were rejected by Felicity James? " David walked over and stood beside Felicity. He was not irritated; he just frowned and said, "My feelings are my own problem! We cant force people to feel a certain way about us." All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. Lucass disdain was visible in his tone, "I do what I want! Its not your fucking turn toe in to rescue! You should protect yourself before jumping in for others, like a sensible person!" Since Felicity was humiliated him in public, Lucas wanted it to be clear that he wont let such a matter go easily. Seeing this and not wanting to involve David in this, Felicity said softly, "Thank you foring out to help me David! However, you don''t have to interfere in this matter. I''ll solve it myself... " David looked at Felicity, his eyes showed a trace of hesitation. Since he couldnt help her by insisting, he stopped; but he couldnt help feel a little upset in his heart. Felicity didn''t pay any attention to him after that. She just looked at Lucas and said clearly, pronouncing every word with force, "Fine! I will go back and resign. I hope you can keep your word and dont involve him in this again." Having finished saying what she wanted, Felicity turned to leave. Lucas sneered; his face is full of satisfaction. David felt a little worried; he squeezed out of the crowd, chasing Felicity. "Felicity, don''t be impulsive" David blocked Felicitys way. He wanted her to think about this calmly. "It''s OK. I''ve already thought about it." Felicity gave him an indifferent smile, and then added bitterly, "Not a Big deal! Id repeat a year!" In any case, she could not harm Jason and make him lose his job. David couldnt help but say anxiously, "Maybe something can be done, or you can go to the counselor for help." "It''s no use." Felicity interrupted him, then she thanked him sincerely, "No matter how it turned out, I still want to thank you foring to help me." She did not expect that in her most helpless moment, David would take the initiative to stand up for her and offer her help. Chapter 17: In One Night She Fell From Heaven into Hell Chapter 17: In One Night She Fell From Heaven into Hell Felicity left, leaving David behind feeling a little helpless. He really wanted to help Felicity, but he couldn''t do anything to a person of Lucass status and could only sigh silently. After returning to thepany, Felicity and George discussed the matter of resignation. George was a little surprised; he did not expect Felicity to really make such a decision, and he couldnt respond to her suggestion for a while. In any case, if Felicity resigns, then the problem would be solved. "Mr. Green, this is the negotiation that I have reached with Lucas Branson. You only need to fire me." Felicity had decided to leave alone. She didnt want to drag down Jason with her. "Did you think deeply about it?" George asked Felicity again just to be sure. "Yes! I have settled the matter with Lucas Branson privately; this will no longer affect thepany. Please rest assured." As long as he fired Felicity, FR Group would not be threatened by Branson Group. "All right." George nodded, since Felicity suggested this herself, he also agreed. "I just wanted to ask you one more thing." Felicity was still at unease and asked nervously. "Sure! Go ahead." George said. "All this situation happened because of me. I hope you won''t embarrass Mr. Jason Reed about it. He had nothing to do with it." Felicity did not want him to be implicated in her mess; it would be very unfair to him. George nodded. He did not dare to offend Jason Reed anyway. It was only that this whole situation took him by surprise. Felicity submitted a letter of resignation and left thepany afterpleting the procedures. The moment she actually left thepany, Felicity couldnt help but feel a little sad. The internship opportunity that finally led to the job of her dreams was burned to the ground If she wanted to find such a decent job in the future, it was going to be even more difficult now. And her graduation was approaching fast, but she was fired at such a time; so she couldnt even get the certificate of internshippletion. Like this, she was afraid it would be even hard to graduate. From there, Felicity, feelingpletely helpless, went directly to the hospital to see her mother. Felicity''s mother name was Sarah White. She had apanied Stanley through the most difficult period of his career. At that time, Stanley James waspletely broke and had nothing to his name. But Sarah did notin to him at all; she stayed with him faithfully, encouraging and helping him discover his true potential. She never put extra pressure and burden of responsibilities on him. However, the world is always hard to predict. Stanley seeded in his career, but after that he began to ignore his wife. As he got rich, he found all kinds of temptations around him, but he did not have enough determination or faithfulness to ignore them. Finally, Ste Cooper took advantage and swooped in snatching her mothers position. Disheartened by her husbands unfaithfulness, Sarah epted her fate and raised Felicity alone after divorce. Even though she tried her best to maintain a positive and cheerful attitude towards life in front of her daughter, the broken family brought her huge psychological trauma and she fell into severe depression. And once being absent-minded while on the road, Sarah had a car ident Although her life was saved, she became a human vegetable. Even though all the functions of the body and the brain were working, she just never woke up from her The doctor had said that Sarah was notpletely unconscious. She was just in aa for a while. They just needed to wait with hope. It was just that Sarah didn''t seem to have the desire to wake up. Felicity was perplexed. She thought that maybe her mother''s life was too hard, and she wanted to rest. At such a time, Felicity lost her job. She felt very miserable, but had no one to share her pain with. Felicity had to apany her mother and massage her body. The doctor said massages would help her mother regain consciousness, so Felicity regrly came to massage her mother. That day, there was no one else in the ward, and it was very quiet. Felicity talked about the recent incidents in her life to her mother. "I''m sorry, Mom. Your daughter is good for nothing; I even lost my job Felicity sniffed. She really couldn''t find anyone else to tell her pain. "It''s all my fault, if I wasnt so impulsive. Fortunately, no one else got hurt." "When will you wake up..." Felicity didnt know what to do next; her future seemed to be a bleak. It was as if in one night she fell from heaven into hell. Felicity didnt care whether her mother could even hear her or not, she kept confiding in her in a low voice. She knew that if her mother really heard it, shed get worried. But this way of venting her feelings by just speaking about it brought her some relief.All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. After Felicity left, George sat there absent-mindedly. He couldnt concentrate on his work; he kept feeling something was wrong with the way he handled the situation. President Jason Reed was not an employee of FR Group. His taking on that identity that day was just to achieve something. Maybe his purpose to do that was to defend Felicity James? He couldnt even offend Branson group, let alone the owner of the Reed Group, Jason Reed himself. The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, so he decided to tell Jason about it. Thinking Jason must be busy, he called his assistant, Garrett. "Hello! Mr. Garrett Smith, I''m George Green." George quickly greeted Garrett. Mr. Green? What can I do for you? Garrett asked politely. "Can you tell Mr. Reed something that happened here?" George told Garrett all about the dismissal of Felicity from thepany. After hearing this, Garrett frowned slightly. Felicity James? Wasn''t that the person that his boss had been paying special attention to? "Okay Mr. Green, I understand. I''ll tell Mr. Reed about this." He hanged up the phone. When Jason came back from a meeting, Garrett immediately reported the matter to him. After all, towards that woman, his Bosss attitude had been quite unusual, and he dared not to neglect it. After hearing about it, Jason frowned and asked abruptly, "What''s the reason?" "He said that it is because of the pressure from the Branson Groups son. Felicity was forced to make such a decision to try to save one party involved." Garrett described the situation roughly. After hearing this, Jason''s expressions sank. He obviously didn''t expect that Lucas would go to such lengths to get his revenge on Felicity. Forcing Felicity to resign; he was indeed cruel. Chapter 18: Solution Chapter 18: Solution Without saying a word, Jason immediately called George Green. N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. When George saw that Jason Reed himself called him, he picked it up in a sh. "President Reed!" George greeted him politely. "Mr. Green, let Felicity Jamese back to work." Jason went straight to the point and asked George to call Felicity James back. "Umm..." He didn''t expect that Jason would just call and order him this soon. George couldnt react for a moment. "You don''t have to worry about Branson Group. I''ll take care of everything." Jason was a business elite. Naturally, he knew what George was worried about. The status of Branson Group was above FR Group, butpared to Reed Group, it was just a small Therefore, he was no longer afraid. "Sure! Mr. Reed, I''ll do it right now." George didn''t dare to have any opinions about it. After hanging up the phone, he did not dare to wait for a moment, and immediately called Felicity. Felicity had juste out of the hospital; she was walking along the road aimlessly. She didn''t know whether to go back to campus or go home. Just then, George called her. Felicity was in no mood for phone calls, but she took one look at the name on the screen and picked the call up as if she was electrified. "Miss Felicity James, thepany does not agree with your resignation, you will be joining back from tomorrow." George ordered her straight away. "Huh?" Hearing this news, Felicity couldnt believe her ears. Didn''t she just quit? How could she go back to work again? Even though this is the best news for her, her heart couldnt help but worry. "Mr. Green, if I go back to work, how will you exin it to the Branson Group?" Lucas had already proven his words; Felicity was worried about the pressure on thepany. "The matter has been settled, and theres nothing wrong now. Juste back." Georgeforted Felicity to not to worry and juste back at ease. Hearing this, Felicity suddenly became extremely excited, "Really? Thank you, Mr. Green. Thank you!" "It''s OK. Juste to work on time tomorrow." Now that the matter was resolved, George naturally felt relieved. Fortunately, he did not offend Jason Reed "Mm-hmm, I will!" After hanging up the phone, Felicity cheered up again. It was not a big deal. Things just have to be solved one on one. Although Felicity didnt understand why things were resolved so quickly, she was extremely thankful that she could now graduate safely. So, Felicity went back to university. But as soon as she went back to the dormitory, she ran into her three friends, Anne, Mia and Susan. Although they no longer lived on campus, a lot of their daily necessities, as well as textbooks, were still in the dorm room. So, they came back asionally. They had already heard about how Lucas threatening Felicity in front of everyone. They were sure Felicity was reaping what she sowed. Now, whenever they saw Felicity, they never wasted any time in starting to mock and ridicule her. "Oh, Hi Felicity! Are you here to get your stuff then?" Anne raised an eyebrow at her and gloated. Felicity did not respond. She did not want to engage in a useless conversation with them now. "Of course, right? She''s not going to graduate. How can she show her face in our campus in where she was humiliated like that?" Mia piped in from the side, as if she was waiting for the drama to start. Felicity chose to ignore them; she put her schoolbag on the desk and began to rummage for something inside. "If you want me to say the truth, why dont you just go and apologize to Lucas. What is the use of being so noble?" Susan pretended to be a good friend again, and tried to persuade Felicity. "Exactly, considering our long-standing friendship as roommates, I want to put in good words to help you resolve this. Maybe he will let it go this time." Anne added in a strange way, suddenly making Felicity irritated. She really didn''t need their sympathy and pity. "You don''t have to worry about my business!" Felicity replied coldly. She knew that these three people were just looking forward to the drama for their own entertainment. Felicity despised them more and more every passing second; she was extremely disgusted. "Look at this arrogant bitch! No wonder that everyone hates you." Anne mocked her and stuck out her tongue at Felicity. "Felicity just wants to be different; she doesn''t need us to care about her at all..." "Yeah! Look at her haughty manner. Wow! I am amazed Susan and Mia added fuel to the fire, mocking Felicity one after another. But Felicity stayedposed and indifferent. She automatically blocked their uninterestingments and kept doing her work. Anne nced at her and saw that Felicity was still sorting out the clothing design draft seriously. She became even more disdainful, and then she added stressing on her words, "Already fired from the "Keep it for yourself..." "Maybe youd want to cherish it as a memory and design it for yourself." However, Felicity didnt even respond to their verbal attacks, she just regarded them as nonexistent. Seeing that they couldnt get any reaction from her, the three others packed up what they came to get and left. Soon, the dormitory was empty except for Felicity. And being on her own finally, she cherished the rare silence with no more annoying voices around her. Felicity had already decided to move out once she had a fixed sry after graduation. She didn''t want to deal with these three It was better not to interact with them. Different waters do not mix together no matter how long they flow together. There was no need to force herself to mingle in circles she was notfortable with. However, Felicity had just cleaned for a little while, when the dormitory door was knocked again. She hesitated for a moment and opened the door, fearing that the three annoying people were back again. But at the door was their next-door dormitory neighbor, Felicity, someone is looking for you downstairs." Felicity nodded; she had some doubts in her heart. Who woulde to the dormitory looking for her at this time? After thinking about it, she went down. When she went downstairs, she saw her father and stepmother from a long distance. In an instant, Felicity''s face turned dark; she wanted to leave. But Stanley had also seen her, and he came towards her with Ste on his side. Felicity wanted to leave but she was already spotted, so she was forced to grit her teeth and meet them. "What are you doing here?" Felicity tried to suppress the displeasure in her heart. "I hear you can''t graduate anymore? In that case,e home with us. " News traveled fast to Stanley. After listening to him, Felicity was sure that they still hadnt given up the n for her marriage. Without thinking about it, she turned around and left. Chapter 19: Compromise Chapter 19: Compromise "Stop!" Stanley yelled angrily. Felicity dared to defy him, it made him really angry. But Felicity didn''t stop. She kept walking, not even looking back. Stanley became more furious, and ordered his bodyguards to bring her back. Two bodyguards in in clothes rushed forward and caught Felicity. "What the hell are you doing? Let go of me! Felicity shouted angrily, struggling to break free. "Come with us, if you don''t, we''ll have no choice but to use force." Stanley said coldly. Only such a stubborn person like him could use this way to control her. Felicity refused to go with them without a fight, so she yelled at them in the corridor, which startled the students and the dormitory supervisor. Seeing this scene unfold in front of them, several female students didnt dare to actually help her and just stood there, afraid. But when the dormitory supervisor saw it, she immediately came up to help her. After all, it was her duty. "What happened? Who are you?" She rushed forward and tried to make the two bodyguards let go of Felicity. But the bodyguards insisted on holding Felicity, and did not release her. "Hey! This is our student. How dare you kidnap her in broad daylight?" The dormitory supervisor refused to let them take Felicity. She grabbed the bodyguard''s arm and yelled at him to let go. "Auntie, I don''t know them. Help me!" Felicity also hastily shouted, wanting to break free from their shackles. Just then, Ste stepped forward with a friendly smile. "Oh! Come on Felicity darling! You are an adult now, dont be so grumpy." Ste said softly, as if she was looking at her own daughter. Just the hypocrisy in her eyes made Felicity nauseous. She said angrily, "You don''t have to pretend and make me sick!" Ste took out a few notes from her bag and secretly put them in the dormitory supervisors hands, "We are her father and mother, all family members here, no strangers. She is just angry at us and is hiding in the dorm to show her temper. Dont worry too much about it." Ste was very good at acting, and her kind face made her believable. With her acting and the money that she secretly gave, the dormitory supervisor let Felicity go. "Felicity, since this is your family, you should go back with them. If there is a problem, you should solve it in your home." Her attitude suddenly became much nicer towards Stanley''s side. "Auntie, they are not my family. I have nothing to do with them a long time ago." Felicity did not agree to reconcile. Seeing the dormitory supervisor aunt to give her up that easily, she panicked. But the dormitory supervisor had already epted the money, so there was no more reason for her to interfere. She justforted Felicity and left. After all, looking at Stanley and Stes appearance, they really did look like Felicitys family. The dormitory supervisor simply stood there watching. The money Ste gave her was enough tost her several days. "All right, let''s go home and then talk!" Stanley was also good with his words, making it seem like Felicity was the unreasonable one. Many people present saw this scene and began to talk about it. "Wait, isn''t that Felicity James?" "Ugh! It''s her again. Are these people her parents?" "Felicity is really popr these days. The whole campus is filled with gossips about her!" "Look at the way she is behaving towards her parents, such a brat!" "True, to be so arrogant and aggressive towards her own parents..." The voices of people fall on her like endless waves, but Felicity had no time to pay attention to them; she was just thinking of ways to get out of this mess. But everyone thought it was Felicity who was throwing a tantrum, so no one took the initiative to help her. Finally, the bodyguards dragged her to the car. "What the hell are you doing? Felicity shouted angrily after she was taken into the car. Stanley began to threaten her, "This time, you have to get married! Otherwise, your mother won''t have a hospital to take her in!" If Felicity was disobedient, Stanley had a thousand ways to make her obedient. "Are you even a human? My mother was also your first wife. Do you have any humanity left? " Seeing him use such a despicable trick, Felicity couldnt help but be disgusted. "Her safety depends on what you choose. It''s in your hands." Stanley was extremely cunning; he directly put the responsibility in her hands. "She was with you in your hardest times? But now you''ve forgotten her because you have this mistress? " Felicity denounced her father. Since this woman intervened in their life, Stanley only stared at her and N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content. listened to her. Was it possible for a man topletely forget his ex-wife''s kindness? Ste heard this and got angry; she immediately raised her hand and pped Felicity hard across her face. "What did you say? Who is the mistress? Your father and I are legally married. You should call me mom now, do you understand? " With the weight of the p, Felicity was beaten up bad; her head was buzzing, her vision was blurry and her face flushed. Ste, however, felt no pity. Instead, she smiled evilly in her heart. As a result of being dragged forcefully by the bodyguards, Felicity couldnt really move, otherwise shed have pped her back. But at that moment, she could only raise her head and re at Ste with daggers in her eyes. Her eyes were sharp and icy, which made her look very frightening. Ste who was very happy about pping her, felt cold and empty guilt in her heart upon seeing Felicitys stare. "Remember that p." After Felicity regained her senses, she warned Ste, stressing on her every word. Hearing her serious tone, Ste felt frightened. Felicity also quieted down, no longer struggled to run away; she was already in the car suppressed by them, any futile attempts to leave would just waste her energy. Her heart was now filled with a sadness and resentment. On the way home, Felicity did not make any noise. When she got out the car, she did so obediently. Seeing Felicity not resist anymore, Stanley thought she finallypromised. His heart was finally relieved. Now, things seemed to be much easier to handle. Felicity returned James Vi after a very long time. Originally, the James Vi was a happy ce for the three members of the family to enjoy life in harmony, but now it was full of heaviness and shadows. After the divorce of Stanley and Sarah, Felicity still lived here for some years. However, preserving next to Ste and her step sister Hannah, both very good at scheming against her, was like fighting a war every day. Hannah was exactly like her mother. At first, she was friendly towards Felicity, but then she began to trick her, making her life difficult. Chapter 20: Since When That a Wild Oat You Sowed Worthy Of Being My Sister? Chapter 20: Since When That a Wild Oat You Sowed Worthy Of Being My Sister? Hannah, in particr, had a very friendly rtionship with Felicity on the surface, and imed to treat Felicity like her own sister. In front of their father, she was very friendly to Felicity, but behind his back, she was a cold little nner, who was good at calcting evil and sessfully estranged the father and the daughter. Felicity was never considered a good girl by her father. In his eyes, she was just a childish girl who liked to quarrel and misbehave and kept hatred in her heart. It wasnt until it was toote that Felicity realized this was all Hannahs doing. Her mother asked her to stay at James Vi, hoping to give her better living conditions. But Felicity was not happy there at all, and soon she moved out to live with her mother. No matter how hard life was living with her mother, it was still better than to suffer abuse at the James Vi. Now Felicity had an indescribable sense of disgust towards the James Vi; she didnt want to step foot in there even for a second. In such aplex state of mind, Felicity was escorted into the vi by bodyguards. "I can go in myself. Let go!" Felicity did not struggle, just said coldly. Her cold words had a deterrent force which was not anger but her inner power, so the guards had no choice but to let her go. After entering in through the door, Felicity saw Hannah and a young man beside her. This young man was named Oliver Brookes. The Brookes family and James family used to be close, and Oliver and Felicity were once childhood friends. They yed together since childhood. They were so close that everyone thought they would get married when they grow up. However, the rtionship between them disappeared after Felicitys mother was forced to leave her home. Oliver no longer saw any benefits in being with Felicity James, so he transferred his feelings onto her step-sister and became Hannah''s wooer. Felicity even witnessed them kissing behind her back. Since then, Felicitypletely cut off contact with Oliver. She hadnt seen him for many years Felicity looked at them, her face sullen and gloomy. Although she called this ce home once, it was now filled with horrible and nasty people, making Felicitys mood rot. Hannah was surprised to see Felicity set foot in the house. But since it was her dear sister, she had to greet her warmly. Hannah opened her mouth in surprise and eximed excitedly, "Felicity! You are back!" Saying this, Hannah ran towards Felicity, pretending to be enthusiastic, and reached out to hold her hand. Felicity sneered, naturally avoiding Hannahs hand, "Dont pretend to be so affectionate. Who is your sister? My mother had only one daughter. Felicity''s family is only her mother. All these hypocritical and disgusting people never counted as her families. Hannah felt a little embarrassed, but her eyes were clear and she tried to pretend to be innocent. After Stanley saw it, he was furious, "Felicity, is that how you talk to your sister?" "Dad, it''s OK." Hannah pretended that she didnt mind, advising Stanley to calm down and not to me Felicity. "Look at your sister, and then look at you. Do you look even a little bit like an older sister?" Stanley continued to me Felicity James for not being polite and proper. "What? I''m wrong? Since when that a wild oat you sowed worthy of being my sister? Felicity sneered at him disdainfully and said coldly. She would not be fooled by her anymore. She had already seen enough of her step-mother and Hannahs tricks and ns. As soon as she said this, everyone lost their minds in anger. "What a brat! Were you raised by dogs?" Ste couldnt see her daughter being humiliated like that; her face became distorted with anger. Hannah couldn''t put on a fake face any more, and her expressions became dark. But in order to maintain her dignity, she still pretended to be hurt and ran into her mothers arms. "Do you want another p?" Stanley was even more furious and wished to p Felicity hard. "What else can you do besides hitting and forcibly kidnapping people?" But Felicity stood her ground arrogantly, showing no signs of retreat, she even stepped forward a couple of steps. Olivers eyes heldplex expressions. He looked at Felicity and said with regret, "Felice! When did you be like this? You didnt speak so harshly before... " Felicity was not going to believe his fake concern, she sneered, "Who are you to teach me how to speak?" Hah! He had no right toment her wrongness with suchpassionate expressions. Shocked by Felicitys bluntness, Oliver''s words were stuck in his throat. He indeed had no right to use her. Felicity looked at him standing there speechless, the corner of her mouth rose slightly with her eyes full of ridicule. Stanley couldn''t let this happen anymore. He said angrily, "Go upstairs and stay in the house!" If she continued to speak like that, he might have a heart attack. "You two, go up and guard her!" Worried about Felicity would try to leave, Stanley sent two securities to guard up with her. "Yes! The bodyguards obeyed the order and followed Felicity. Felicity felt toozy to argue with them, and there was no benefit in staying there so she turned around and walked up the stairs. In her room, Felicity inwardly made a resolution that no matter what will happen she would not agree to get married, no matter what they try to do. Choosing her husband was her right. What right did they have to decide for her? Felicity was no longer flustered and she stayed in the room peacefully. It was not worth getting angry about it. At dinner time, the door was pushed open. Felicity subconsciously raised her eyes and saw that Hannah was entering. Her calm mood was ruined in a second, especially when she saw Hannah''s smile, she was even more disgusted. Felicity looked away coldly as if Hannah didnt exist. Hannah didnt care. Instead, her smile became wider. She came up to her and said with a smile, "You dont have to look at me like this. Look! I''m kind enough to bring you the dinner." Felicity could not bear to see her smile, she said in a disgusted tone, "Leave! I cant stand you." Hannah didnt show any signs of anger; still maintaining her fake smile, she said in a voice full of concern, "Are you still angry?" Felicity didnt want to look at her; she tried to suppress her anger in her heart. N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. "Are you angry because of your arranged marriage that Dad nned? But it''s really a good proposal. The guy is the eldest son of the Rhodes family. They are rich and wealthy. If you marry him, you will be blessed with happiness! Chapter 21: Escape Chapter 21: Escape Felicity sneered and asked, "If the Rhodes family is so good, why don''t you go?" "Naturally, I must leave such a good opportunity to my sister." Hannah inched closer, pretending to be kind. "I don''t see it how good a family of money-greedy animals can be, don''t disgust me." Felicity mocked mercilessly. Good opportunity for her? The James family must be trying to benefit from it somewhere in between. These words pissed Hannah off; she was so angry that she wanted to swear at the moment. But she held it in for a while, andughed. She knew that Felicity wanted to provoke her deliberately, she would not be fooled! If she got angry, then didnt it mean Felicity had won? "Sis, are you still ming me for taking Oliver?" Hannah''s voice was soft, but its tone made people want to hit her. Sure enough, as soon as she said this, Felicity''s eyebrows twitched, and there was also a trace of anger in her eyes. Even though it was slight, Hannah still noticed. A smile crept up the corner of her mouth; it seemed that these words were very effective, "Hey, I''m really sorry...but don''t me me for this..." Hannah lowered her eyes, and pretended to be innocent, "At first, you were rude and he gave up to you, so in the end, he fell in love with me. I know this incident must have hurt you..." Hannah deliberately emphasized how she and Oliver got together; who knew what she had nned in mind. However, Felicity smiled, "A man like him who changes his heart all the time? I dont need him. Besides, why are you rejoicing over picking up something I threw away?" All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. She must have been blind in the beginning to be interested in that kind of person. Nowadays, she no longer wasted time thinking about such a scumbag without principles. Someone like Oliver was a perfect match with Hannah. Felicity gave up such a person to Hannah and felt no loss at all. Hearing this, Hannah could not tolerate anymore, and she was furious, "Felicity! I show you some courtesy, and you think you deserve it?" Felicity had a vicious tongue and held grudges, which made her really unbearable. "Go ahead, be angry, but it''s only because Im right dead on; you don''t have to put up an act anymore, Im tired just looking at you." Felicity gave a cold snort. Before, she was too soft-hearted and constantly bullied by Hannah. Now that she knew the true face of this woman, she refused to ever show a trace of sympathy. "Dont hold your breath; I wouldn''t bother with you if you didnt have some use for the family!" Since Felicity had escted the tension to this point, Hannah just reciprocated in return. After that, she was about to leave and close the door. However, after two steps, she turned back again, and her eyes showed a hint of pride again. "By the way, before I leave, I should remind you, your fianc is not as simple as he seems!" Hannah said and cackled, obviously with bad intentions. "I heard he was married three times already and prone to domestic violence. One of his wives was beaten until she was disabled! Since youre so great, maybe you can cure him!" Hannah said this, obviously with ill intent. She knew that someone with Felicitys personality would definitely suffer a lot of abuse. But her fianc might be just the one to destroy Felicity''s esteem, so they were a good match. Felicity had heard rumors; she tried to keep calm, but she still held her breath. Having achieved her goal, Hannah was secretly happy in mind. She smiled and said, "I know what youre thinking, do you want to escape?" "Hahaha... looks like the whole family really is no better than beasts!" Felicity could not bear to listen any longer; she just wanted Hannah out of the room, "Get out!" "Don''t worry, Ill leave. I just wanted to remind you that resistance is futile. Dad already asked the Rhodes to pick you up tomorrow. After that, I wish my dear sister good luck!" After she finished, Hannah felt a burst of pleasure inside, and smiled as she walked out. Hannahsughter rang clearly in Felicitys ears... Felicity clenched her fists tightly; her entire body was cold, and her palms were covered with cold sweat. Immediately, anger swelled over her. A man prone to domestic violence? Is this the kind of fianc her father chose for her? She knew it from the start; Stanley did not care at all, and had never thought on her behalf. Just for some so-called benefits, her father would actually send her off to marry such a person. Isnt that that the same as sending her into a lions den? The more she thought, the angrier she got, and her body could not help but began to tremble. Herst hope for her father had died... She thought it meant something for them to be blood rted, but it seemed she was wrong. He had been a distant, uncaring father for so many years. Now he finally appeared, but he wanted to destroy her happiness with his own hands. Stanley, such a good father! Felicity felt angry and betrayed; tears filled her eyes, and she couldn''t help but let them fall. But now was a critical moment; Felicity sniffed fiercely and abruptly held back her tears. It was not worth crying over a father who abandoned her. Rather thanin and cry, it was better now to think about how to get out of the situation. If she waited until tomorrow, it would be toote. Felicity wiped her tears and opened the window to check if there was a possibility of escape. Stanley must have anticipated this move, and arranged many bodyguards around the vi. The floor was not high, Felicity could jump; but even if she did, it was impossible to escape. She would be caught too easily, and maybe more guards would watch over her then. To walk out the door was even more impossible; Stanley had henchmen guard the door. Felicity felt helpless again. Was there really no chance to escape? She thought for a while, and then she remembered her still had her cellphone. Fortunately, this was not taken away when she came up. She browsed the address book for a long time and felt helpless. At this moment, she could not find anyone who could save her. The only person that came to mind was Jason. But she had troubled him too many times; was it really OK to ask him? In any case, Felicity cannot marry Vincent; that would be the end of her. Felicity clenched her teeth; finally, she had no choice but to call Jason. Chapter 22: The Only Hope Chapter 22: The Only Hope At this point, Jason was discussing business with a customer in a restaurant. Suddenly, the phone screen lit up, and Jason nced over by habit; it was Felicity. He was taken aback for a moment, surprised that Felicity would call him. But right now, he was talking about critical issues with the customer and it was not a good time to answer the phone. So, Jason temporarily rejected the call. Then, he continued to talk business with his client. All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. But before he even said a few words, the phone rang again; Jason nced to see that it was Felicity again. Jason couldn''t help but frown; he thought: Whats this woman up to? The client saw that Jason''s face looked ill, so he said wittily, "Jason, if you have urgent matters, you can take the call first, dont worry about me." After hearing this, Jason nodded and asked to be excused. Then, he stood up and walked away to answer the phone. "Whats the matter?" Jason''s voice was faint and devoid of any emotions. This made Felicity feel a little uneasy. After all, it was a bit rude already to disturb him. So, she replied in an apologetic and guilty tone, "I''m sorry, did I disturb you? I didn''t mean to... It''s just that I have something to trouble you again, can you... help me?" She made this call because she was really desperate. Jason seems to have heard the helplessness from Felicity''s faint voice. Did she get into trouble? "What happened to you?" Jason frowned; the coldness in his tone also disappeared a bit. "I...Im locked up..." Felicity bit her lip and talked about her situation, speaking very quietly. She feared alerting the guards outside the door. Jason was startled, and frowned even deeper, "What the hell is going on?" Locked up? "I can''t go out now; they are keeping me under watch very closely; so I need your help to pretend to be my boyfriend ande find me..." Felicity briefly described her situation and told Jason the address. "" After he finished listening, Jasons face looked unpleasant. Previously, when he investigated Felicity, he knew that she had bad ties with her family. But he did not expect the James family would force an arranged marriage to such an extent. Felicity did not hear Jason speak, and she became a little panicked. "If youe find me, I might still have a chance to get out. If they don''t let me go, you can call the police. They cant imprison me. Also, they even have my mother..." Technically, Felicity herself could also call the police. But she was worried that Stanley would deceive the police by using his connections and rhetoric. If Jason came, things might turn around. "I understand." Jason got a general understanding of the situation and replied. I''m sorry...but really... please. Felicity really needed help right now, but she didn''t hear Jason actually agree, so she pleaded softly. "Ok." Hearing Felicity''s pleading, Jason couldn''t help but trembled inside. He never had this strange feeling before, but on the surface he spoke quite calmly. After he hung up, Jason''s eyes had a slightly cold look. The James family, what nerves they had! Perhaps he had been out for too long, Garrett came out the VIP room to look for Jason, "Sir, the customer is still waiting for us..." Jason nced at him, and asked without warning, "Do you know the eldest young master of the Rhodes family?" "Ive heard of him..." Garrett was a little surprised, why did he suddenly ask about the Rhodes? "Whats he like?" Jason wanted to confirm the nature of Felicity''s fianc. Garrett was puzzled. He did not know where these questions wereing from, but he replied honestly, "The public has very bad opinions of him..." "What kind of opinions?" Jason slightly raised his brows. A total failure! He looks well-dressed and does well in business, but its all a visage. Also, he changes women like he changes clothes; hes not old, but hes already married three times! Garrett borated calmly, but between his brows, he obviously despised this person. "Three marriages?" Hearing this number, Jason was a little surprised. "Yes, he has a serious tendency for domestic violence. Two of them ended up in a divorce because they couldn''t stand it anymore... Another one was disabled..." Garrett paused and continued, "It was a big deal at the time, but in the end, the Rhodes used money to cover it up. However, many people in the business still know of this matter and were afraid to let their daughters marry him!" Hence why Vincent wanted to find a wife; his family was rich, but with his violent tendency, he would beat people beyond recognition. After listening to Garrett, Jason''s expression instantly sank, and his eyes had a cold stare. To think, Felicitys family would arrange her to marry a man like this... Just thinking about Felicity marrying Vincent stirred a strong discontent in his heart. What''s more, she was to marry a man prone to domestic violence. "I understand." Jason faintly responded, his tone faintly mixed with a hint of hostility. Felicity''s heart was hanging from the moment after she hung up the phone. She felt quite uneasy. Although she called for help, she didnt know how effective it would be. Because Jason didn''t clear state that he woulde. Besides, from his tone of voice, Jason seemed to have other concerns. Also, she and Jason were not so close after all, so her request was risky. The James family was still considered a distinguished family, so maybe Jason did not want to get involved. If he came and saw bodyguards patrolling around, maybe he would be scared away... However, this was all his choice; even if he did note, Felicity would not me him. It was just that Felicity still pinned a glimmer of hope on him. After all, with Stanley''s ability, even if Felicity called the police, it would be difficult topete with him. Chapter 23: He Didnt Come Chapter 23: He Didn''t Come Felicity could not sleep all night, in hopes that Jason would appear in time. Time kept passing by; she did not know how long has passed. Finally, Felicity couldn''t help but nce at the time on the phone. It was 12 o''clock midnight... It waste; even if he meant toe, Jason probably would note at this time. Felicity gritted her teeth, the hope in her heart dimmed, little by little. Sheughed self-deprecatingly, and kept encouraging herself so that she would not be too depressed; just keep her cool and ept it all. Then, she went to the window and looked outside. The bodyguards seemed tirelessly still on guard duty, without any signs of cking off. Was she going to just sit here and wait for death? But there were too many guards outside, she had no chance to escape. She stayed up all night. At dawn, she felt despair from the bottom of her heart. Early next morning, the room was unlocked from the outside. The person who entered was Ste, her stepmother, along with several servants. Felicity was shocked by the hugemotion. Seeing her stepmother, her eyes became gloomy in an instant, and she stared at her with hostility. Ste didn''t care; she pointed at a few maids and ordered, "Change her clothes." A few maids stepped forward to take off Felicity''s clothes. "What are you doing?" Felicity was rattled, she did not want them touching her, and she began to squirm and hide. The maids were not very forceful, so Felicity broke away easily. "Vincent will be here soon; were in a hurry, so lets just keep everything simple. You just need to change into the wedding dress and go directly to the church to marry Vincent!" Ste was shrewd. In order to prevent Felicity from escaping the marriage, she had already nned all this. When she heard that, Felicity said angrily, "Are you out of your mind? Get out!" She never even saw the bridegroom once, and now she had to change into a wedding dress to marry him. What did they take her for? "Go, hurry and dress her up quickly!" Ste didn''t care about so much, and directed the servants to get Felicity changed. Felicity looked at the servants, grabbed a vase from the table, and held it in hand, "You dare toe over?" If they continue to force themselves on like this, Felicity could not guarantee that she would not be forced to do something crazy. When push came to shove, no one would get out easily! Seeing Felicity like this, the servants were afraid to step forward and did nothing. Ste didn''t panic, "Felicity, are you going to ignore your mother''s life? Look at this photo..." As she spoke, she took out her cellphone and threw it in front of Felicity. Felicity took it and saw a photo of her mother Sarah in the hospital bed. Felicity could not repress the anger that arose in her heart, "What did you do to my mother?!!!" Ste saw Felicity''s panicked face and smiled triumphantly, "If you want to watch your mother die, keep resisting!" Felicity was devastated, and her entire body began to tremble uncontrobly. "What have you done to my mother?" She tried her best to remain calm; she had to ensure her mother''s safety. If they dared to touch her mother, she would definitely fight them back in full force! "Nothing yet, but it all depends on you. If you get angry again, the consequences may be disastrous." Ste scoffed coldly; it was far too easy to control this little girl. "" Felicity gritted her teeth in hatred. These sons of bitches; even at a time like this, they still would not leave her mother alone!!! "Felicity, you''d better behave and marry Vincent, this is actually a blessing for you." Based on Felicity''s dire situation, what choice did she have? "You keep them away, I will change myself..." Felicity clenched her teeth, and gave in for the safety of her mother. "Huh? Have you finally decided to behave?" Ste was astonished, and immediately became filled with pride. As expected, threats using Felicitys mother was the most effective method. "I wille out after I have changed myself." Felicity took a deep breath and said with a cold face. Ste sneered, "That''s right,promise early and there won''t be so many issues." Afterwards, Ste withdrew her servants, and then said to Felicity, "I warn you, don''t pull any tricks; Felicity was so angry that her liver hurt a little, but she had no choice. Her mother could not endure any suffering; Felicity was too afraid of anything bad happening to her mother. So, Felicity could only put on this damned wedding dress. Putting on a wedding dress should be the most beautiful moment in a woman''s life, but when she wore it, it felt like she had suffered a great indignity in her life. At this moment, Felicity still silently hoped in her heart that Jason would show up in time. Perhaps, he was just too busyst night and didn''t have time toe; maybe he woulde during the day? Felicity can onlyfort herself silently like this. She deliberately took a long time to change clothes; just when she was finished, the car outside honked. Felicity was excited and quickly looked out the window, filled with hope that Jason arrived. How disappointed she was to see that the car was not Jasons. The people who stepped out the car were all people she did not know. Instead, Stanley ran up to wee those people warmly. When the two parties talked, she vaguely heard the name Vincent being mentioned. It looked like this man was the one she was going to marry. He looked like a decent man, but in reality, he was a man of domestic violence. Felicitys heart sank again. She did not expect he woulde so soon. What about Jason? N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. Is he really noting? Felicity''s heart was clenched tightly. Chapter 24: Figure out a Way to Escape Chapter 24: Figure out a Way to Escape Five minutester, the room door was knocked open. This time Ste and Stanley both went upstairs. If you want your mother to be safe, youd better marry Vincent, dont try to escape! Stanley warned Felicity once again and his tone was emotionless. Felicity didnt speak and didnt eloquently swear at him. She just looked coldly at Stanley with eyes like daggers and was full of hatred. Stanley was uneasy with her stare and his eyes kept avoiding hers. It looked like he didnt dare to look Felicity straight in her eyes. But in the end, he hardened his heart and tried to convince Felicity, Marrying him is also for your own good. You have to get married sooner orter anyway! Hearing this, Felicitys heart was disappointed to the extent that she was disgusted. She had already seen through this person but he still continued to lie in front of her. He was using the most frivolous means to embellish the words. What was even more atrocious was this person was your kin, your father. Yes, to marry a wife batterer, to marry a person who crippled his wife, indeed was good! Felicityughed coldly as this was the ending desired by the James family. Her misery was their happiness. How ridiculous. Stanley heard Felicity and didnt dare to reply and was surprised that she knew these. Even a vicious Tiger wouldnt eat its young. You are an animal and will not have a good ending! Felicity has lost hope and said the most callous words. After she finished, Felicity didnt bother about her fathers darkened expression and went downstairs immediately. Vincent was already waiting downstairs and can see a lot of gifts in the main hall. Felicity cooled her expression and didnt even look at him, choosing to ignore him. Hannah and Oliver were present. Felicity wore a white wedding gown, although she didnt have an borate makeup, the graceful posture was difficult to hide. Oliver saw and was pleasantly surprised. He looked at Felicity for a while as if his attention had been sucked by her and couldnt shift away. Hannah was keen enough to detect this and saw Oliver staring directly at Felicity and felt very ufortable. Felicity was indeed amazing and moving. She couldnt help to feel envious. She was unhappy and naturally wont let Felicity have an easy time. Sheughed happily as she walked forward and said to Vincent, This is my sister, Felicity. Vincent had seen Felicitys photograph and was very satisfied but when he saw her in person today, he was overjoyed. He didnt expect Felicity to look much better in person than in the photograph. Her appearance was angelic. Vincent would be very fortunate if he could marry such a beautiful wife. Ive long heard of Miss James beauty. Today Ive finally seen for myself and its absolutely true! Vincent hurried to his feet and walked towards Felicity. He introduced himself, Im Vincent, and Im your future husband! N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. As he said these, his eyes were fixated on Felicity. Felicity listened and slowly looked at Vincent. He looked decent and pleasant with a touch of elegance. But these cannot hide his naturally violent temper. Felicity doesnt have any interest in him; that was why she didnt bother. Vincents parents expression was getting upset. Vincents expression darkened and looked at Felicity, What an insolence you have, Miss James. I came personally to deliver the wedding gifts and this is your attitude? At this moment, Ste and Stanley came down from the stairs and saw what was happening. Both of them didnt want Vincent to be upset and quickly said for Felicity, Vincent, thats not the case, this kid felt that the wedding was too rushed and is throwing a tantrum! They then hurriedly apologized to Vincents parents, Felicity is a very good child, please dont take this to heart! Vincents father said, The wedding is simple but once they are married, your daughter will be in ap of luxury. Your family will bepensated for the haphazardness of the wedding. Yes, our son will not mistreat your daughter. Vincents mother said by the side, exaggerating her words. Felicityughed disdainfully, Youre really good at covering up the truth. Who doesnt know that your son crippled a woman? Life of luxury? I dont dare to have it! Stanley was extremely awkward and saw that Mr. and Mrs. Rhodes were getting upset again. He was worried that Felicity was going to say something disrespectful again and quickly interjected, Oh look at the time, its almost the auspicious moment for the wedding. Lets not dy any further and proceed to the hall! He was thinking to quickly conduct the wedding. The more they drag on, the risk of something happening would be greater. Mr. and Mrs. Rhodes were clearly upset but they nodded in agreement. This girl needed to be disciplined once she married over to their family. Felicitys heart sank. Was her happiness to be so haphazardly determined for her? She looked towards the door. Still, there wasnt any sign of Jason. It was already at the final moment and if he still doesnte, shell have to find a way to escape. I wish sister blessings and happiness! Hannah wished her sister when she saw Felicity proceeding to the wedding. Felicity didnt bother and coldly nced at the disgusting people around her. She maintained her uneasy mood and walked out the door with the Rhodes and James Family into the waiting cars. Her actions were very slow as if she wanted to wait for another moment. Why? Is sisters movement restricted? Do you need my help? Hannah thought that Felicitys dress was too long and cumbersome and wanted to offer some help. Buzz off, I can walk by myself. Felicity rejected coldly and avoided Hannahs fake concerns. The car started quickly and Felicitys heart sank further She cant hope for Jason anymore, she has to n for her own escape. Stanley seemed to sense what she was thinking and ordered several bodyguards to follow behind. Felicitys heart continued to chill. She wanted to escape during their way to the wedding but it was even more difficult now. Just as she was in total hopelessness and the car was already out of the courtyard, a car stopped in the middle of the road, blocking Felicity and the rests path. Whats the matter? Stanleys body jerked forward towards the driver when the car stopped suddenly. Chapter 25: This Woman Is Mine! Chapter 25: This Woman Is Mine! Theres a car blocking the path. The driver quickly replied. Stanley was upset and immediately ordered, Then get out and check whats happening! The driver got out and went to the drivers side and tapped the window to talk to the driver. N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. He knocked for a while before the window wound down slowly. The driver was Jason. Sir, can you move your vehicle? The driver was anxious as it was approaching the time for the wedding. Jason saw that there were a lot of cars behind and was very calm. He meant to stop here to block their path. But he didnt expect there to be so many cars. He couldnt tell which car Felicity was in. Sir, please move your car. You stopped in the middle and is inconveniencing others. The driver saw that Jason didnt reply and repeated himself, thinking that he may have missed his initial request. Unexpectedly, not only didnt Jason respond to him, but he got out of the car. His stance and poise were strong and the driver took several steps back. Im here for someone. He said coldly and chillingly. Sir, even if you are looking for someone, please dont obstruct us. We are in a hurry The driver frowned and sought for his understanding politely trying to get Jason to quickly move aside. Jason didnt bother with him. In the cars, the Rhodes and James family members were waiting for a long time and noticed that the driver was not back yet and started to be anxious. Ste couldnt resist and said, Whats happening? Why did he stop the car as he wished, doesnt he have a bit of graciousness? Im sure the Rhodes will be upset. Stanley got off the car but he has never seen Jason and so doesnt know who this man was, thats why his tone was very foul. But after hembasted, he looked at Jason and couldnt help but feel a chill down his spine. Jason squinted at Stanley like a falcons fierce eyes. Though he has never met Stanley, he could tell from the information that he was Felicitys father. He didnt bother with Stanley and walked inrge domineering strides towards the second vehicles rear seats. True enough, Felicity was seated behind. She was beautifully made up and in her wedding gown, sitting with a heavy heart. No matter how much makeup there was, it couldnt cover her worry. When he saw Felicity, his expression softened. Tap, tap, tap. Jason tapped on the car window. Felicity silently looked and her eyebrows raised. Her heart warmed up immediately, its Jason! When she went into the car, Felicity thought that her happiness would be pawned off just like that. She didnt expect Jason to appear at the most critical moment. She was excited and desperately wanted to get off the car. She was stopped by Ste who asked furiously, What do you think you are doing? Release me! Felicity yelled and broke loose from her and quickly opened the door to get out. But because she was too anxious and the wedding gown was too long, she tripped and fell Felicity lost her bnce and fell forward. Jasons swift reaction managed to catch hold of her. Just like that, Felicity fell into Jasons embrace and could smell a faint mint fragrance. She immediately felt Jasons warmth and scent, she instantly blushed. Jason supported her waist and softly asked, Are you alright? Im fine. Felicity gently nodded with her rosy red face. The Rhodes family got off the car also and saw the scene and immediately reacted negatively. Whats the meaning of this? Mr. Rhodes yelled furiously with his eyes wide open in anger. Stanley saw this and was dazed but quickly exined, This this must be a misunderstanding. He red at Felicity and asked, What the hell are you doing? Felicity looked coldly back at Stanley andughed, What do you think? I told you that I wont get married! After she said this, she looked at Jason and introduced to Stanley, I already have a boyfriend and this is he. Dont force me! Everyone was stunned after she said these. Ste and Hanna couldnt resist and ran out of the car. In front of them as Jason who was tall and handsome, exuding confidence, dashing and imposing, surprising Hannah. This dashing and handsome man was Felicitys boyfriend? When did she find such a boyfriend? Stanley was equally surprised as he has never heard Felicity mention. How did a boyfriend suddenly appear out of nowhere? As for the Rhodes, their expression continued to sour what have they been treated as? Particrly for Vincent, his eyebrows locked up and with a darkened face he said, Mr. James, dont you think you should exin to me the meaning of this? The marriage had been determined and agreed and now Felicity had a boyfriend. Isnt this a huge disrespect to him? Was this fool worthy of snatching his woman? Vincent looked furiously at Jason and threatened, If you know whats good for you, release her! This woman is mine! In this world, no one dared to prevent him from having what he wanted. However, Jason hugged Felicity even tighter and said coldly, Who do you think you are? In JC City, no one dared to speak to Vincent in that manner. His face crumpled up. Heh-heh, Im the eldest son of the Rhodes family, havent you heard? Vincent straightened his posture and tried to raise his identity to scare him. He stepped forward at the same time and raised his eyebrows, Youre a damn fool for daring to snatch my woman. Are you tired of living? Im his girlfriend; you are shameless for saying these! Felicity wasnt scared and sparred personally with Vincent. Stanley listened and scolded Felicity while ring at her, Stop this nonsense,e over here! Felicity didntply and now it was her that held onto Jasons waist. You, a young girl, hug intimately with another man in front of me. Do you want to embarrass me in front of everyone? You must get married to Vincent today no matter whether you want or not! Stanley said furiously as he didnt want to offend Vincent. Miss James, dont you know what Im capable of? Do you think that anyone can take something that I want away from me? Vincentughed coldly and looked over at Jason. Does he want a fight? Felicity was disgusted by what was said but she felt uneasy. After all, she understood Jason and knew that he cant win a fight with the Rhodes family. If she wasnt careful and implicate him, then Felicity wont be able to live with herself. Thus, she asked Jason, Hey, have you called the police? Chapter 26: No One Can Take You Away Chapter 26: No One Can Take You Away Jasonughed in a rxed manner, Of course I called, don''t worry, no one can take you away today! His smile gave a feeling of security, and Felicity was inexplicably relieved after seeing it. Then, Jason looked at Vincent, he sneered, and said sarcastically, Today is an eye-opener, there are still forced marriages these days, my girlfriend and I are in love, and you guys have the guts to sign a marriage contract without my and her consent! Vincent didn''t expect that Jason would be so fearless, and thought that his previous aura was just a bluff, nothing real. But when Jason said this, it was even more powerful, and it truly scared Vincent. He didnt reply for quite a while. Hannah was very unhappy to see Jason protecting Felicity like this, she rushed forward and said, You''re the one with the guts, aren''t you? She sneered and ridiculed Jason for being over-confident, Dont you know what the Rhodes Group is capable of, this person isn''t someone you can just take away! Is it? But today I''m taking this person away! Jason smiled and said confidently. To be honest, Felicity was worried at the moment. Is this really going to be all right? Then I''d like to see what you''re capable of. How dare you to snatch someone from under me, Vincents nose? The hostility on Vincents face bes heavier and heavier as he stared angrily at Jason, at the same time the Rhodes men began to move. Felicity seemed to notice the danger around her and tugged on the corner of Jasons coat, feeling a little scared. It''s okay, don''t be afraid. Jason said softly, and also gestured to Felicity with his eyes. Immediately afterwards, Jason continued to confront them strongly, Who is the one being unreasonable? You forcibly imprisoned Felicity against her will and even forced her to get married, this will not end so easily! Huh! Thats because I can! What can you do? Im gonna force her today anyway! Vincent was shameless at all, he thought he could do anything he wants with his power and influence. Jason, however, ignored it and didn''t reply. He just snapped his fingers, which made a loud sound. Before the sound died away, there were somemotions from the surroundings, as well as sounds of footsteps... a police officer and his men quickly arrived, immediately surrounding the vehicles. The Rhodes family and the James family were surrounded, they were shocked at what was happening, Vincent was even more surprised, it seemed like he almost dropped his jaw. This guy, he called the cops? The officer then approached Stanley and said to him seriously, Mr. James, it is said that you are suspected of imprisoning and interfering with the freedom of others at will, pleasee with us. Stanley was furious when he heard that. Imprisoning? Interfering with someone''s freedom at will? It''s simply nonsense. What on earth are you talking about? When did I imprison someone? Stanley denied. The officer looked at Felicity and saw her nodding her head strongly, as if she agreed with what the N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content. officer was saying. Stanley was very angry, he quickly exined, Officer, this is a misunderstanding... This is my daughter, and today is her wedding day, officer, don''t listen to this guy''s nder, it''s nothing like that! It''s just our family affair... After Stanley said that, he shows friendliness towards Felicity, Felicity, stop it, how old are you already? Why do you still like to make such jokes? However, the officer stilled remained his attitude, I dont care what your family affairs are, but since we received the report, you''ll have to cooperate with us to investigate the situation at the station. Officer, can you please make an exception? And you dont have any real evidence right Stanley winked at the police officer, wanting to give him some benefits afterwards. But the officer didnt buy it and insisted on taking Stanley to the police station for investigation. Stanley was thoroughly angry and looked at Felicity furiously, How long are you going to make a scene? Am I spoiling you too much usually? Upon seeing this, Ste hinted Felicity, Have you forgotten what you promised? It won''t do anyone any good to continue being so stubborn! Evidently, Ste was hinting her about Sarah. If Felicity ruined the wedding, then her mother might be in trouble. Felicity understood her hint, her eyebrows started to frown, sweat oozed from her hands. My mom''s in the hospital... Felicity whispered to Jason. With her mother still in their hands, Felicity could never bepletely at ease... But when Jason heard this, he instantly reacted and knew that this was Stes threat. Officer, there''s something else I might want to tell you, thisdy is suspected of threatening using a patient as a hostage, and I''d like you to look into that as well, it''s also a serious crime. As soon as this was said, Ste ''s face instantly changed drastically, her face froze on the spot. The officer was also very experienced. After seeing how quickly Ste ''s mood had changed, he guessed what was going on, and was about to take them both away right then and there. The Rhodes family didnt know what to do after seeing this situation. They never expected that one kept man could cause such a big scene. The Rhodes families looked very unpleasant, but eventually they had to step in to resolve the situation. So, Vincents father, Carlos Rhodes, reluctantly stepped forward and called out to that officer, Sir Bob, if I remember correctly, you are in 1st Bureau, right? The officer was a little surprised to see Carlos shout out hisst name familiarly and nodded his head, I am. Carlos walked over, smiled, patted Sir Bob''s shoulder and said, Your captain and I know each other, we were even good buddies before, and we often drank together. After a brief hint, Carlos continued, This matter today is indeed a misunderstanding, and I hope that you can stop pursuing this matter for my sake. Because this is indeed a marriage between two families, but the process was somewhat rushed, so it caused some troubles... The officer, however, did not recognize him and questioned, Who are you? I''m Carlos, your captain should have mentioned me before! Carlos was very confident. Upon hearing that, the officers face showed surprise. He had indeed heard this name before, and it seemed like he truly knew the captain. After seeing this, Vincent and Hannah both secretly showed a face of satisfaction. President Rhodes had interfered personally The officer would never side with Felicity after hearing his name. Chapter 27: A Kept Man Chapter 27: A Kept Man While the crowd was waiting for a good show, the officer suddenly changed his expression. It doesn''t matter who you are, don''t hinder our work. No one expected that the officer didn''t buy it at all. Carlos was stunned, over all the years he had been in the society, no one ever embarrassed him like this. Heughed immediately and said expressively, Well, it''s been a long time since I''ve encountered such a thing, so I guess I''ll have to ask your captain toe over and talk! This smile was dangerous and full of bad intentions. But the officer wasn''t afraid at all, he smirked and mockingly said, Even if you bring the captain in, well still do it officially. Seeing how righteous the officer was, Carlos was now provoked. Yeah, you wait! Carlos couldn''t stand such an attitude and wanted to show Jason some of his powers, he immediately made a phone call. Felicity originally thought that the situation would be resolved soon, but things were getting more and moreplicated. It seemed that the Rhodes family was really not easy to mess with, and it was hard to say if Jason can handle it with ease. Felicity looked up at Jason, her eyes were filled with worry. Don''t worry, it''ll be fine. There was still no hint of fear in Jasons eyes, but Felicity was still apprehensive. She was sceptical, she still didnt understand where Jasons confidence came from. If this matter was not handled properly, it might get Jason himself involved... Trust me... Jason whispered softly in her ear, Don''t worry, your mother is fine too, the police have already gone over to check on her, they won''t do anything to your mother... Jason had already gestured Garrett Smith, he would make all the proper arrangements and wouldn''t make a single mistake. Upon hearing this, Felicity was overjoyed and looked up, her eyes were shining as she asked, "Is this true?" Yup, Jason nodded firmly. Felicity suddenly felt very relieved. She never thought that Jason would be so methodical while doing things, she must have underestimated him at first. From not far away, Stanley saw the two of them talking and smiling, and his heart sank a little. The intimate interaction between them felt natural; it didnt look like they were faking it. Could it be that Felicity really has a boyfriend? Hannah was quite disdainful. Isn''t this man just a bit handsome? But hes just a kept man. Hes nothing to her. But for some reason, Hannah just couldn''t help herself but keeps on involuntarily stared at Jason. Oliver Brookes looked equallyplicated, after all, Jasons looks were simply a thousand times more handsome than his. This made him suddenly understood that such deep jealousy could exist between males... N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. Looking at Felicity dressed in a wedding gown and nestled in Jason''s arms, Oliver ''s heart was a little ufortable. It reminded him of what had happened back then. During that time, Sarah and Stanley divorced, and Stanley remarried Oliver was forced by his parents to keep his distance from Felicity and not to waste his love on her. Because Felicity will not get any benefit from the James family in the future, her life will only get harder and harder. The Brookes was not an illustrious family and they needed someone to rely on. Oliver had no choice but to follow his parents'' n and abandoned Felicity, but intentionally approached Hannah. But all the time he spent with Hannah, Oliver was just disguising himself. Deep down inside, the person he liked was always Felicity. However, this fondness was hidden by him, and it was hidden very deep. And now, when he saw Felicity being embraced by a man, and affection could be seen between them, Oliver actually found the scene a bit harsh. But Oliver didn''t dare to show it in the slightest. For some reason, Jason had somehow given him a great feeling of oppression. It made Oliver felt inferior. Logically speaking, Oliver was close to the James family at this point, and with the strength of his own family, he also has an extraordinary status. There was no need for him to have even the slightest fear towards this man with unknown origin. But for some reason, he just felt inferiority and jealousy growing in his heart. At this moment, Oliver also subconsciously started to hate Jason. Looking at how arrogant he was, Oliver wished he''d get a good smack in his faceter and then that man would disappearpletely! Compared to this man, Oliver preferred more that Felicity will be married to Vincent. Although Vincent was rich, his looks and personality were far worse than he himself! Oliver would be more satisfied this way. Since he couldnt have Felicity, he didnt want a better man to have her. In the midst of waiting, Vincent couldn''t stand the loneliness therefore couldn''t help but came looking for trouble again. Your inexplicable confidence is very touching! Jason remained silent, he moved the corners of his mouth in disdain, unwilling to argue with Vincent. I advise you, you better take the initiative to admit your fault to me now, or else you''ll be the one to go to the police station if youre the one whos wrongter! Vincent couldnt bear his defiance and walked right up to threaten him. Admit my fault? Jason raised his eyebrows, this is really interesting, no one in the world has ever dared to make him admit his fault voluntarily. Right! It''s not as simple as saying sorry either, but it''s notplicated, all you have to do is to get down on your knees and apologize to me, and we''ll be able to call this off. As Vincent said, a grimace surfaced on his face, Or else it won''t be so easy when the peoplee. Jason ignored it, for such a disgusting person, he really didn''t want to lower his standards to him. Seeing this, the officer beside sweated a little. He shook his head, and in his heart, he began to mourn for Vincent... Vincent really had a death wish, how dare him to offend Jason like this? Jason was a big shot in JC City and even in the whole country, even a lot of high-status people respected him, he couldnt be messed with! Not to mention the police officer himself, even if the police captain himself arrived, he still had to treat Jason with courtesy. Therefore, no one in JC City dared to interfere with Jasons request for an investigation. Vincent better don''t be embarrassed too muchter But Vincent didn''t even consider this situation and still waited for the captain''s arrival with a confident face. Ten minutester, the captain of the police officer finally arrived. Chapter 28: Things have changed Chapter 28: Things have changed The captain was well-groomed and in uniform, he also looked very imposing. Seeing that the officer and several policemen who were in a circle, the traffic jams, and the chaotic scene, the captain asked, What''s going on? When Carlos saw the captain came, he quickly greeted him. Jackson, long time no see! Carlos was like meeting a friend he hadn''t seen in a long time. Carlos, what happened that you needed to call me over in such a hurry? As soon as Jackson received the call from his old friend, he rushed over to inquire about the matter. It was true that Carlos and Jackson had known each other for a long time. After the two exchanged pleasantries, Carlos briefly described the situation to Jackson. He hoped Jackson could resolve the matter to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. Carlos'' words were very polite and formal. After Felicity heard them, she felt a little uneasy again. It seemed that Carlos and the captain were really acquaintances, then how will this matter be resolved Vincent acted like he was waiting for a good show, the corners of his mouth couldn''t help but rose. He looked at Felicitycently. When the timees, where else can she runs to? Who would have thought, after Jackson saw Jason, his expression changed drastically. He didn''t even dare to go up and talk to Jason, but he apologized to Carlos, Carlos, I''m afraid I can''t help you with this matter, we need to do this officially. Carlos never expected Jackson to say that as well, and his face immediately turned long. Jackson, you''re not unaware of this, are you? We''ve known each other for so many years, it''s not easy for me to prepare a wedding for my son. Besides, Im also not someone who will do such things, right? We as policemen, can''t bring rtionships into our work, and I hope you understand. Jackson also felt very awkward but tried his best to be persuasive. This... Jackson, how about I invite you to dinner some other time? Carlos lowered his voice again, hoping to settle the matter privately. In the past, Jackson would try his best not to embarrass Carlos. As the old saying goes: big matters are made small, small matters are made none. But this time, he couldnt help Carlos no matter what. Sorry, I cant help you. Bob, do what you need to do! Jackson rejected Carlos solicitation and asked Sir Bob to do it officially. What he said startled everyone there except for Jason. Everyone originally thought that the tables would have turned - do the cops really want to do it officially? Sir Bob received the order and announced, Mr. Rhodes and Ms. Rhodes should take Vincent back first, as for the James family, you are suspected of interfering with other people''s freedom and hostage threats, bring all of them back to the station for interrogation. Ste and Stanley were petrified on the spot, it was hard to imagine that this would be the oue. Vincent was also stunned, the confident words he said before were now turned into invisible ps that pped his cheeks. How did thingse to this Carlos also felt overwhelmed; how humiliating was it to lose face in front of everyone? He snorted coldly, Well, thats just great! Lets go! The James family had really let him down. With that, Carlos left with his wife and son. After the crowd and vehicles dispersed, only Jason and the James family were left there. The police wanted to take Stanley and Ste to the police station, but how would Stanley agree to that? He''s a prominent figure in JC City too, but now he would be arrested and taken to the police station for investigation. If word gets outter, how embarrassed will he be? Officer, this truly is a misunderstanding! But no matter how much Stanley exined, those cops just didnt listen to it at all. Ste was furious, she quickly asked Felicity to help to exin, Felicity, can we stop this mess already? If you don''t want to get married in such a hurry, let''s just change the date, things are getting so embarassing now... Ste was still ming it on the fact that Felicity was stubborn and inconsiderate. But Felicity, with a cold face, retorted, Officer, you heard it right! They''re the ones who locked me up before even greeted me, and forced me to get married... Why are you so full of nonsense, what on earth do you want? Stanley was so angry that he wanted to interrupt Felicity. Why are you so agitated? Did I say something wrong? My mother is sick and you threaten me with her life! What? And now you''re afraid to admit it? The more Felicity spoke, the angrier and more agitated she became, and she began exposing more of Stanley ''s scandals. Upon hearing that, Stanley was so angry that his face turned blue. Things were simply getting worse and worse, he yelled and cursed, Wicked daughter, how did I give birth to such a wicked daughter like you?! You''re so ungrateful, youre raised to disown your family! Like a dog that disregards its owner! Ste was also cursing at the side, and the scene was chaotic. Jason couldnt stand listening to them, his face instantly darkened, and he said to the officer, Aren''t you going to take them away yet? Sir Bob saw Jasons unhappy face, he didn''t dare to neglect anymore. He quickly asked his men to pull the two of them into the car. Finally, both Stanley and Ste were taken away, leaving only Oliver and Hannah at the scene. Oliver looked at Felicity with an appalled face as if he was looking at some kind of monster, You''ve really be unrecognizable even to me! As if I have known you before? The thing that annoyed Felicity the most was that self-righteous look of Oliver. Who was the one who changed his heart first? Now why did he have the nerve to act nobly andment that things have changed? Don''t you think it''s going too far to send your own father to the police? Oliverforted Hannah, at the same time ming Felicity. Felicity sneered, she didn''t bother to defend herself, she just ignored Oliver. N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content. Then, Felicity said to Jason, Lets go. Jason nodded and took Felicity with him to the car. After that, the two of them just watched as Felicity left. The wedding incident ended in this way. Felicity sighed in relief, luckily she was able to escape that, thanks to the timely appearance of Jason. On the way back, she said to Jason, Thank you. She couldn''t think of anything more suitable than that word. No need to thank me, I didnt expect that so many bad things would happen to you, are you really that unpopr? Jason just didn''t want Felicity to care too much, he unintentionally said a joke to liven things up a bit. But Felicity heart sank a little, she bit her lip hard, and forced a smile, I do live a failure. Immediately afterwards, she mocked herself, I am really unpopr. Whether its my ssmate, my roommates, or family, they dont like me, its like Im am an extra. Jason was startled; he was just saying it unintentionally; he didn''t expect Felicity mood to be so low. Chapter 29: Owe You Another Favour Chapter 29: Owe You Another Favour He realized immediately that he shouldnt have said that. Where do you want to go now? To make Felicity feel better, Jason quickly changed the subject. If its convenient for you, just take me back to the old town first. Felicity suggested. Alright. Jason nodded and did a u-turn at the next junction, sending Felicity back to the old town. After they arrived, Felicity got off, Ive reached. I owe you another favour today, and I''ll find a way to pay you backter. With that, Felicity smiled and quickly ran back. She was still in her wedding gown, so she wanted to quickly go back and change her clothes, so she wouldnt attract peoples attention. Jason watched her back as she ran away, her long hair, pure white veil fluttering in the wind. And her long, trailing skirt everything looked so beautiful. He was entranced looking at her. Only when Felicity totally went out of sight, Jason drove away. At that moment, Garrett called again. Young Master, the police station asked you what to do with Stanley. After all, the police were not sure about Jasons opinion, so they needed to inquire in advance. Teach him a lesson, lock him up for four or five days. Jason didn''t want to make it too difficult for him too, after all, this was someone else''s family business. But, Felicitys family was really outrageous. Alright, then do as you say. Garrett nodded. Well, is there anything else? Jason felt that Garrett had no intention of hanging up the phone, he asked. Heres the case, there are a few meetingsing up in the morning that require your personal attendance, and I sincerely request that youe to the office as soon as possible. Garett Smith hesitated, but since the CEO had asked, he just said it. Got it. Jason promised. As soon as Felicity reached home, she quickly changed the damn wedding gown. The wedding gown was pretty, but the whole incident was just so disgusting. She simply packed things up and rushed to the hospital. The incidentst night happened too suddenly, Felicity didnt know how to exin it, so she directly took a leave from Riley Kim, luckily Riley didnt ask much. Therefore, Felicity didnt have to go to the Using this free time, Felicity rushed to the hospital room to make sure her mother was okay. But when she arrived, she only saw an empty bed and a nurse who was packing up the sheets. Nurse, where''s my mother? Felicity became anxious immediately, even her voice trembled. All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. Not seeing her mother, Felicity felt like she had lost her soul; she was terrified. Ms. James, don''t worry, your mother has been transferred by the police to the VIP ward. It is safe there and people cant just simply enter. The nurse saw that Felicity was panicking, she patiently and gently exined it to her. Okay, thank you very much! Felicity nodded and immediately went to the VIP ward. Seeing her mother safe and sound, Felicity felt as if she had been spared from death. She held her mother''s hand tightly. Even though her mother was in aa and couldn''t hear anything, Felicity stayed with her mother in the ward for over two hours. Just being able to look at her mother quietly was a blessing to her. Because her mother was the only family member she cared about in this world, and if anything happened to her, she wouldn''t know what to do... So, even if she just stayed unconscious, Felicity felt that it was okay. As long as her mother was still alive, even if she kept on sleeping like this, Felicity would be contented. Meanwhile, Felicity suddenly remembered that the VIP ward was going to be more expensive than usual, but she hadn''t paid her fees yet. As life was difficult in the past, Felicity checked her mother into a general ward first. But now this had happened, she couldnt be careless anymore. She then went to the counter to pay. As long as it will keep her mother safe, what did it matter if it was more expensive? Hello nurse, my mother has been transferred to the VIP ward, how much do I need to pay? Felicity asked the nurse who was on duty. Which patient is it, please? The nurse asked. Sarah White, the patient who was previously in ward 307. Felicity exined the situation to her. After hearing that, the nurse checked and said, Your payment has been made up for a year''s worth of VIP hospitalization. What? But I didnt pay the money! Felicity was confused, she had only just found out about this, too. Well... I don''t know, I can only check the payment status here. The nurseughed awkwardly. Alright, thank you! Felicity thanked her and left. She was a little surprised, what was going on? Could it be that Jason paid for her? Then she really owed him a lot of favours... Felicity pondered for a while and went back to work, there was nothing to do with her free time anyway. Riley was a bit surprised, Didn''t you take the day off today? Well, the matter is settled, so I''m here at work. Felicity still wanted to do her best to perform better so that she could make more money. Good, then I''ll give you some work. Riley nodded, then arranged work for Felicity. Felicity was quick and efficient, she finished the work before evening. Riley quickly viewed it and was very satisfied, she allowed Felicity to leave on time. Felicity was happy to be praised, but instead of going back home, she went to the overseas department. In fact, her purpose ofing here this afternoon was not only to work but also to express her gratitude to Jason. Considering the help he had given, and that he even settled her mother''s hospital bill, Felicity felt a bit sorry to him and wanted to treat him a dinner. But she had never been to the overseas department before, she looked around nkly when she went in. One employee saw her confused look and offered, Hello, who are you looking for? I''m here to see the product director, can you give me directions? Felicity asked with a smile. Of course, the director happens to be in the pantry, just ahead The employee was friendly and showed Felicity the way. Thank you, Felicity said and went into the pantry. When she entered, she saw a young man. Felicity looked at him and nodded faintly, this person was probably one of Jasons men... She didn''t think much about it and started looking for Jason. Although the pantry wasn''t small, it wasn''t very big either. Felicity went through the whole pantry but couldnt find Jason. Instead, the young man looked at her in surprise, Miss, who are you looking for? Im looking for the overseas product director. The young man was even more surprised, Looking for me? What can I help you with? Chapter 30: He Had No Reason to Lie to Her Chapter 30: He Had No Reason to Lie to Her Felicity was a little startled, and her head was a little muddled. You''re... the product director of the overseas department? Felicity was still a little unconvinced. I am, what can I help you with? The young man nodded, he thought Felicity was strange. Felicity frowned, looking at the young man with seeming conviction, and asked, Do you have another product director here? No The young man also frowned, feeling very strange towards Felicity question. There really isn''t one? Someone named Jason. Felicity simply told the name as well. Sorry, thepany doesn''t have this person. The young man said without any hesitation. He hadn''t even heard of the name before. That''s...impossible, Even Mr. George Green said there is one, and it''s a recent hire. Felicity even wondered if there was something wrong with her hearing, or if she was dreaming now. Uh, have you mistaken something? Why don''t you go out and ask again, I''ve never heard of the name anyway. The young man was very confused and wanted to send Felicity away. Okay, I''ll go ask again, sorry for bothering you. Felicity apologized and went out right after. After leaving the overseas department, Felicity was full of doubts. She originally wanted to find Jason and invite him to dinner, giving him a surprise. But the n failed. She was afraid that Jason had other ns, so she sent him a WeChat message, Are you free tonight? I will like to treat you to dinner as a thank you for today. After sending out the message, Felicity was apprehensive for a little while, afraid that Jason would not ept the invite. After waiting for about two to three minutes, Jason replied. When Felicity heard her phone vibrate, she excitedly took it out to see. Okay, where? Jason agreed. Felicity was so happy that her hands were shaking a little, she replied, You decide. How about Phiss Restaurant? Okay, so I''ll see you at seven? Yup. After making an appointment, Felicity finally got a chance to thank her benefactor. She was prepared to leave thepany without thinking too much about what just happened. As soon as she arrived at the elevator, she met George Green. Good evening, Mr. Green. Felicity gave a bow in greeting. Felice, off work, huh? Come in. George nodded, returning the greeting politely. Okay, thank you Mr. Green. Felicity got into the elevator, remembering again what she had just experienced, she wanted to ask but hesitated. Is there something you want to say? Just say it. George felt that Felicity had something to say. Heres the thing, I went to the overseas department today to look for Jason, but he doesn''t seem to be there... Since Mr. Green had asked, Felicity decided to voiced her doubts. Upon hearing that, George felt a little awkward, he didnt expect that Felicity would go to the overseas department herself. He didn''t think there was any connection between her department and the overseas department, but who would have thought this would happen. Felice, its like this... Jason... Reed has been transferred away and is temporarily assigned to another branch. George tried to remain calm and natural as he exined to Felicity. Ah, he''s been transferred again? Felicity was sceptical. Why was the shift shifting so fast? Well, yes, the branch over there needed more manpower for now, so he was sent over there. George exined. Oh, thats why I didnt find him, so that''s what happened, thank you. Since the general manager had said so, Felicity did not need to continue asking questions, so she pretended to understand. No problem, George was very anxious, but he was able to deal with her. At 7:00 p.m., Felicity went to Phiss Restaurant promptly. She had never been to this restaurant before, as the location was chosen by Jason, this was her first timeing. Once inside, the waitress greeted her warmly, Hello Miss, how many? Two, I have an appointment and he said he''s already here, Felicity said. Is it Mr. Jason Reed?, The waiter asked with a smile. Yes, that''s him! Felicity answered. The waiter is quite smart. N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. The waiter then thoughtfully brought her over to Jason. As Felicity walked, she observed the environment of this restaurant, every facility looked very sophisticated, it must be a very high-end western restaurant. You''re here so early, how long have you been waiting? Seeing that Jason was already sitting there, Felicity asked embarrassedly. She invited him to dinner but let him sat here for so long. Not too long, lets order. Jason gentlemanly handed the menu to Felicity. I''ve never been here before, if you''re more familiar, you do the order! Felicity seldom ate at in western restaurants and was not familiar with their food, so she handed the menu back to Jason. Fine. Jason didn''t refuse and started ordering straight away. Jason ordered skillfully, he was obviously a veteran. After ordering, the waiter gave them the bill. In fact, Felicity was ready to spend a lot of money here. This ce looked so high-ss, each person may need several hundred on average, but at most three hundred should be enough. Who knew that the moment she saw the bill, Felicity was shocked. One thousand and two hundred? One thousand and two hundred CNY for a meal of two persons? This was enough to pay for Felicity living expenses for a month in university, she almost shed a tear. But the portions were small, nothing more than some wine, steak, pasta and other western food. However, the price of each dish was very high. But still, Felicity was speechless, Can''t you restrain yourself? I''m just a very poor intern, and I''m buying you dinner, wont you feel a bit sorry to me? Felicity was straightforward and said what she wanted to say. After all, it was really out of her budget. After this meal, she was afraid that her bank card will significantly shrink! I''ve helped you so much and you''re still so stingy? Jason said with a half-smile. This sentence made Felicity speechless, she did not know what to say. After all, Jason also paid for her mother''s hospital bill, so she could just ept it... Alright, then we must finish these. Since Felicity spent so much, she wanted to make sure it was worth it. I''ll stop when I''m done eating, do as you like. Jason didnt have this habit. Felicity was speechless again, this man doesnt cherish food at all. During their meal, they didn''t talk much. Jasons eating was particrly elegant and very refined, which gave an indescribable temperament. Instead, Felicity was quite rusty with her fork and knife. She ate a bit of a mess, but it was pretty cute too. Seeing Jason so good at these, like someone who often came to this kind of high-end restaurant, Felicity couldnt help but wanted to ask him about his work. But she did not ask him anyway, since there was no reason for the general manager to lie to her. Chapter 31: Bluff or Truth Chapter 31: Bluff or Truth Fortunately, the food portions at the restaurant were considerably small, so Felicity was able to finish everything. However, at the thought of spending so much money to eat such a small amount of food, she felt a little frustrated. But to repay the debt of his kindness, anything was fine with her; she could endure it. After finishing the meal, Felicity reluctantly paid the bill and the two left the restaurant. Felicity looked at her watch. It was only a little after eight o''clock. It was still early. She couldn''t help but wonder if she could invite Jason to see a movie. Wasn''t the purpose of meeting today to have fun? But on a second thought, watching a movie together seemed to be more of a thing that a couple would do on a date. Felicity suddenly blushed, thinking suggesting to watch a movie might not be the most appropriate thing to do. Jason happened to nce at her at that moment. Seeing her face flushed he asked, "What''s the matter? Are you feeling ufortable? " "No, Im fine. Maybe the wine was a bit stronger than I anticipated." Felicity made up an excuse quickly, thinking about the wine. "Oh, do you want me to buy you something to help you sober up?" Jason suggested. After all, it was not safe for a girl to be drunk on wine at night. "It''s ok So, you are now transferred to a branch office. Hows that going? New ce and all that Must be hard to work like that? " Felicity quickly changed the topic and asked about Jason''s transfer at work. Jason was slightly surprised to hear that. Branch office? Why was he suddenly transferred to the branch office? Fortunately, he responded quickly, thinking that it must be something that George hade up with for a cover, "Oh that it''s OK. I felt a little unfamiliar in the beginning, but I''m capable of doing my job and very efficient at it." "Youre such a show-off!" Felicity felt speechless at him; however, seeing him talk about it so naturally she was no longer suspicious. It did seem like Jason had been transferred, but how came no one in thepany mentioned it? Plus, even his colleagues in the same department didn''t know him. It was really strange But since Jason and George said the same thing, Felicity did not specte about it anymore. "It''s still early. Would you like to go to see a movie? You invited me for dinner, how about I invite you to a movie, and we be even?" Jason offered. Felicity paused for a moment. How did he think of this suddenly? Although, there was a recent movie that she wanted to see. After thinking about it for two seconds, Felicity agreed. Just as they were about to walk, a Mercedes Benz stopped suddenly in front of them, making a screeching brake sound. Then, Vincent Rhodes and his three serious looking bodyguards came up to Jason and Felicity, blocking their way. Jason stepped forward, subconsciously hiding Felicity a little behind him to protect her. Seeing this, Vincent nced at them coldly and said, "Hah! Look at you two, being so deeply in love..." "What are you doing here?" Felicity was surprised. How did Vincent suddenly appear here? "What do you think? You, slutty bitch! Because of you my family was humiliated but you have the guts to walk around so happily! " He wanted them to know that once provoked, he makes sure to get his revenge. Then he looked at Jason, his eyes malicious, and said, "And you pretty boy, you think you can live after ruining my familys reputation? I dont think so!" After that, Vincent waved his hand and the three bodyguards approached them threateningly. Felicity was a little flustered. There were no people around. She really didn''t know how low Vincent could fall. Besides her Jason was standing there without any sign of anger or self-defense; his eyes were clear and light. So, Felicity couldnt just rely on him. She couldnt just let Jason get hurt. Before the situation could unfold any further, Felicity suddenly stepped forward and pushed one of the bodyguards. She picked up her purse like a weapon, ready to use it, and shouted at Jason, "Run! Quick!" Then, Felicity began to swing her purse punching the bodyguards with it. However, she was just a tiny girl after all, and her strength was weak. She was soon subdued by the bodyguards. Jason stood there, being stunned for a moment. He didn''t expect that this little idiot could be so bold N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content. and righteous. Of course, Jason didn''t run away. Felicity, seeing him stand there stunned, thought they were both doomed now. She med herself for being too weak and small so that she couldnt even buy time for him to leave. Now, he was stuck in this dangerous situation because of her. Vincent approached Jason with a mocking look in his eyes and said sarcastically, "What? Now you need a weak woman to protect you? What kind of a man are you? He whistled to his bodyguards, motioning them toe forward and ordered "Take him in!" "I dare you to try. Jason spoke in a very cold and powerful voice. It wasnt loud but his voice seemed to have ice des that cut through the air and stabbed the people in front of him; it was full of awe. Vincent was stunned and for a moment, his heart trembled in fear. While he stood there confused in fear, Jason added coldly, "Vincent Rhodes, Liam Frederick is a good friend of mine. You can never touch me, so I advise you to back off now. You really should be aware of your identity before provoking someone! " If Jason had decided to directly reveal his identity, Vincent would have been scared to death on the spot. However, Jason thought that since he had been hiding his identity in front of Felicity for such a long time, it would be boring to just reveal the truth and say who he really was. Hearing Liam Fredericks name, Vincent was surprised. Liam Frederick was a well-known rich man who came from a wealthy family in the city. No one dared to cross him. The Frederick family was also huge with assets amounting to over 10 billion. Considering Liam Frederick''s character, as known to be violent and ruthless, those who offended him met very bad endings. Vincent knew that he couldnt ever afford to provoke Liam Frederick. However, there was a chance that Jason was bluffing and just using the name. Oh! If that was the case then Jason would be too shameless! So, Vincent decided to test him. He looked at Jason coldly and said, "Haha, is that right? Okay, if you really have the ability, call Liam Frederick here for me! Vincent didnt dare to fight against Jason just in case he was right. So, instead he wanted to make sure if Jason really had the power or not. "Are you sure? He is just a phone call away." Jason was very disdainful. Vincents facial expression changed, turning white and then shadowy. Just a phone call? It wasnt so easy to get in touch with Liam Frederick. This man, he dared to speak about it so lightly; he must be lying. "You call, I''ll wait for him toe here!" Vincent wanted to see what little tricks the little pretty boy had up his sleeves. Felicity may have never heard of Jason Reed before she met him, but she knew the name Liam Frederick. Rumor had it that Liam Frederick once took One billion from his family. And to everyones astonishment, he invested it, creating several powerful Intepanies worth a hundred Billion. He was a very business minded rich man with a powerful family behind him. Of course, His character was also rumored to be quite disturbing. It was said that he changed his girlfriend more frequently than he changed his clothes. He even organized a beauty contest, and the winner elected was to be his girlfriend. Chapter 32: A Nice Little Dip in the River Chapter 32: A Nice Little Dip in the River In short, Liam Frederick was something to marvel at, even more famous than some well-known celebrities in the entertainment industry. Jason, however, was just a product director. How did he get to know such a big shot? "Let Felicity go first, or it will end even worse for you!" Jason Reed ordered the bodyguard to release her. The bodyguard looked at Vincent hesitantly, waiting for his order. "Let her go. I''d like to see if he can call Mr. Frederick over here or not!" Vincent had no fear. Later, if Liam Frederick doesnte over, both of them would be trapped in their own n. Jason walked a little away from them and dialed a number on his cellphone. Others couldn''t hear what conversation he had on the phone. But after a while, Jason hung up the call and returned. Did he talk to Mr. Frederick already? In Vincents opinion, Jason had pretended to make the call. He didnt even take long in his fake call, no one could reach Liam Fredrick that fast. Vincent did not believe in Jason. Felicity was a little worried, so she rushed towards Jason and asked softly, "Did you deliberately lie to him to waste time? Are you waiting for the police? Lets just call the police." Jason lookedpletely unfazed, he smiled confidently at Felicity and said calmly, Don''t worry, Liam Frederick wille." But Felicity didn''t believe that Jason could know such a famous person. She quickly advised him, "You didn''t call someone to pretend to be Liam Frederick, right? After all, he is well-known. Vincent can definitely recognize him... " "No, it''s Liam Frederick himself." Jason confirmed in a firm voice, leaving no room for doubt. He had expected Felicity to be suspicious, it was very interesting for him to see her like this. Looking at the two people whispering and Felicity being anxious, Vincent said with a knowing gaze, "I can see right through your bluff." Then, he looked at Felicity and added, "Think about it carefully. I can forgive you if you act wisely. Youd better apologize to me and beg for my forgiveness; otherwise, I''ll hang you both under the JC Bridge today, so that you can have a nice little dip in the river! " Vincent was a member of underground Mafia. Doing a thing like this was not new to him. However, Jason gave him a cold answer, "Don''t you want to wait and meet him? In 15 minutes, Liam Frederick will be here. Youd better keep your mouth shut before he gets here, unless you want it broken. " "You Vincents face distorted in anger. He did not expect Jason to be so arrogant and fearless. He decided to wait in silence until he can punch Jason in the face when Liam doesnt show up. Ten minutester, a Lamborghini arrived. Vincent was stunned in his ce, his heart thumped with fear. He tried to tell himself that this was just some random person with a Lamborghini, not Liam Frederick! The next second, the door was opened and a particrly handsome man came out. Wearing a peaked cap, his body was wrapped in designer punk street-wear and sunsses from head to toe. Liam Frederick walked with an unrestrained gait suitable to his personal style. Seeing him, Vincent froze in his ce. There was no mistake; it really was Liam Frederick. Really was N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. him! Felicity had also seen him in photos, she was surprised to see him in person. Did Jason really call Liam Frederick here? Felicity was stunned, as if she was looking at a popr celebrity in real life. Liam walked towards Jason and stood right before him. He just wanted to say hello, but Jason winked at him and Liam swallowed his words back. "Liam, dear friend! Thank you foring here!" Jason called him a dear friend deliberately, which surprised Liam. How could he call him like that? Liam felt confused and scared. He frowned and wanted to say something but Jason approached him and said in his ear softly but with me! Hearing this, Liam was relieved. This was more in line with Jasons style. Then, he nced coldly at Vincent, who pale with fright and was standing on one side, and instantly understood the situation. Vincent was sweating with fear all over his body. He never thought that this pretty boy would actually turn out to be Liam Frederick''s friend "Who are you? How dare you provoke my friends? " Liam sneered at him coldly, took off his sunsses and red at Vincent with disdain. "Im Im Vincent Rh..Rhodes, this is just a misunderstanding! I was just joking... Vincent was scared enough to pee his pants; he stammered. "Joking? Didnt you say you wanted to hang us from the JC bridge for a nice little dip in the river?" Felicity hated this kind of hypocritic ttering bullies the most; she mocked him loudly. "I''m sorry, I''m sorry! This all was a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! " Vincent never expected that the pretty boy could be backed up by someone who was so powerful, so he quickly apologized to Jason. Jason narrowed his eyes at him and said in a cold voice, "So, now that we are clear, how about you hang from the bridge and get a nice little dip in the river?" Liam also quickly agreed, "Ooh! very good! Since you have offended my friend, you will be punished ordingly Vincent trembled with fear, "I I was wrong, Im sorry Mr. Frederick... " "It''s toote to say sorry now. Let''s go! When we get to the JC bridge, I will lift you up with my own hands and throw you into the river. Liam pped his hands; he couldn''t wait to do something bad to this piece of filth. Vincent was about to cry. He was helpless and did not dare to say no. He quietly followed. Half an hourter, Vincent was tied up with ropes by his own bodyguards. The three bodyguards did not show mercy to Vincent and tied him tightly, to make sure he feels the pain. "He is tied up, sir..." The bodyguards reported back to Liam, trembling in fear for their own lives. Liam nodded with satisfaction, and then pushed Vincent off the bridge. Vincent fell down screaming hysterically like a pig being ughtered. The wind howled in his ear, as if to swallow him up. Just at the moment when he was about to break through the surface of water, the rope was stretched tight and he stopped before his head could enter the water. Liamughed loudly on the bridge, mocking Vincent, to the point that he was unable to stand up from Felicity also let out a sigh of vicious relief in her heart and asked Jason curiously, "How do you know Liam Frederick?" She could not help but be more curious about Jasons identity. "Luckily, I knew him a long time ago. But, with his status and all that, we couldnt stay in touch that much, but we were good friends before." Jason exined it very naturally. After Liam finished ying with Vincent, he ran cheerfully to Jason''s side and asked with a teasing
