Chapter 2436
Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted Chapter 2436 - Vermont considered mentioning that Jaylene's calmness in sending the photos to Keegan showed she was not to be underestimated. However, he refrained, knowing such comments would not help his relationship with Felicity, especially since he understood who held more importance in her heart-him or Stella.
Having encountered numerous manipulative women in business and the entertainment industry, Vermont recognized Jaylene's tactics. Sending suggestive photos was a basic, almost primitive, method to catch a man's interest. However, Jaylene's approach was clearly flawed. Keegan, who only lost his virginity after marriage, had little interest in such things. His strong moral code made it impossible for him to have feelings for another woman, especially one who had hurt his wife.
Jaylene's shallow understanding of Keegan puzzled Vermont. He wasn't sure if she genuinely liked Keegan or just wanted the satisfaction of winning him away from Stella. If her feelings were real, why did she remain inactive during Keegan's marriage? Instead, her interest grew as Stella's identity became more public. Perhaps she was attracted to Keegan's looks, which might explain why she got involved with Aaron, the only son of the Keller family, while abroad. When she couldn't have the real thing, she settled for a knock-off.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Vermont despised the idea of substitutes. Whether male or female, projecting feelings for one person onto another was repulsive to him. Recently, he learned that Aaron had been resisting his family's arranged blind dates. Curious, Vermont had asked friends abroad to dig into Jaylene and Aaron's relationship. What he found was intriguing: Aaron wasn't even Jaylene's first stand-in for Keegan. Before him, another man had been close to her, someone who resembled a younger Keegan. When Jaylene hooked Aaron, she promptly dumped the first guy.
Given Jaylene's persistence, Vermont doubted she would sever ties with Aaron. Aaron's refusal to cooperate with his parents' matchmaking likely stemmed from promises Jaylene made. Just a few days ago, Vermont saw Aaron, who had lost over 20 pounds from heartbreak. The weight loss had sharpened his features, making him resemble Keegan even more.
Vermont discussed the situation with Felicity and suggested they could leverage Aaron to deal with Jaylene. He explained his plan and asked, "What do you think?" Felicity commented, "Losing over 20 pounds in a month just from a breakup? I can barely lose five pounds after a month of effort, and it comes back after one meal."
Vermont hesitated, which annoyed Felicity. "What's with that look? Don't you support his weight loss?"
"No," Vermont replied, his expression conflicted. "Sweetheart, you're not quite self-aware."
Felicity was confused.
In an effort to avoid trouble, Vermont
bluntly said, "Other people lose weight when they're sad becausen they can't eat or sleep. But you? When you're upset, you comfort yourself with food. Normally, you'd eat half a roast, but when you're sad, you can eat a whole one. How can you lose weight that way?"
