Chapter 1558

"Scripts that don't turn a profit won’t keep selling, no matter how many favors you owe. No one's in the industry for

charity," Vermont factually stated.

Felicity seemed to grasp the concept, but there was still a hint of confusion in her expression. She cut to the chase

and asked, "Can you be more specific?"

Vermont laughed and said, "The average price for an apartment in the neighborhood we just left is only slightly

lower than Clouditude International. She's a screenwriter with an average family background and who hasn't

written a blockbuster. How do you reckon she affords a place like that?"

This caught Felicity off guard.

Her supervisor's place was anything but small. It was around 4000 square feet, with an average price of over ten

grand per square foot. It was a mansion worth nearly half a billion and definitely not within financial reach for a

screenwriter like her superior.

"Why did security let those people in? Have you considered that perhaps the house is registered under the married

couple's name? Maybe even those script offers she gets are all thanks to her boyfriend's connections?"

Felicity's expression turned serious. "Are you suggesting she knew about the affair?"

Vermont replied calmly, "I can't say. But, for a house this expensive, how could she not have done a background

check on her boyfriend? Moreover..."

He paused. "When you both came out of the bedroom, her facial expressions didn't seem quite right after she

heard that I called the police. She clearly didn't want to involve the authorities, but maybe she didn't say anything

because I was there."

When the police arrived and asked Felicity's supervisor some questions, the woman's responses were all very

vague. She did not seem like someone who had suffered property damage and a threat to her personal safety, nor

someone who was eager to seek justice. This was particularly odd to Vermont.

Felicity tried to recall the situation upon hearing that. After a while, she said, "She doesn't seem like that kind of

person. She has always been good to us at work, especially to the newcomers. One time, a newcomer messed up

some documents and caused a problem in the company, but my supervisor stepped in to take the blame. She's also

rather low-key when it comes to her personal life. I just can't imagine her ruining someone else's relationship."

According to Felicity's understanding, the other woman was usually conniving like Hylda. Her superior did not fit the

mold at all. She could not fathom how someone who seemed so elegant, successful, and gentle could be a

homewrecker.

Vermont chuckled and said, "That's because you haven't met many people. Humans are inherently complex. One's

professional abilities and adept social skills don’t entirely represent their morality."

In the early days of his business, Vermont often mingled in various social circles. He had met people from all walks

of life.

Some of them had the worst personalities. However, once they were in public, they were known as good fathers,

good husbands, and good leaders. This went on as long as they kept up with their facade.

Vermont thought about the circumstances. He could not help but feel uneasy and worried for Felicity.

"Why don't you pretend like you know nothing about what happened today. Don't ask any questions and don't

discuss the situation with anyone. Just continue to do what you've been doing. Try to have as little contact as

possible with your supervisor outside of work."

Felicity still found it hard to believe that her superior would ruin someone's relationship. "Maybe she was tricked by

that asshole," she whispered.

"Even so, that's her business. You should stay out of it. I know you have your principles and morals, but when it

comes to other people's private matters, I think you shouldn't get involved."

Although Felicity still believed that her supervisor was fooled, she was willing to heed Vermont's advice. After all, he

would not harm her.

However, Felicity was feeling a bit resentful. "It's all those despicable men's fault. They act like a hot shot and trick

girls into falling for them. They're all liars and master manipulators! I'm not gonna go easy on any of them if we

ever cross paths!"

Vermont did not know what to say. He cautiously asked," What if he genuinely liked the girl, but she didn't like him

back? And, because he felt desperate, he told a little white lie so that he would have a chance?"

"Huh? Why would he deceive her into liking him if he genuinely likes her? How can you trust a man like that? I bet

he just wants to get her into bed with him!"

Vermont pursed his lips. "...Well, they haven't had sex yet."
