Chapter 1102
Felicity wanted to ask Vermont when he became her boyfriend, but when she heard about the assets, she immediately became curious and asked, “How many do you own, exactly?”
Vermont shrugged and calmly replied, “Around ten figures.”
“Oh,” Felicity said with disinterest. “That’s average?
Vermont was puzzled. “Average?”
‘An unemployed person is saying that my ten-figure assets are average? Is she so used to being poor that she has no concept of money?’
Just as he was about to explain how much ten figures of assets were, Felicity said, “There’s quite a difference between Keegan’s assets and yours. Before the divorce, Keegan told Stella that he would give her a billion dollars, which is ten figures, yet you only own ten figures?”
This left Vermont speechless. “I’m only talking about real estate and liquid assets. I haven’t included any stocks or investments yet!” he argued.
“Is your total as much as Keegan’s, then?”
Vermont went quiet. He then gritted his teeth and defended himself. “I started my business from scratch while Keegan had the wealth of his family.”
Hearing that, Felicity nodded. “Your family’s financials aren’t comparable to Keegan’s, yet he’s still friends with you.
Hmm. This makes him seem rather easygoing, huh? And, I thought the rich discriminated against those who weren’t from the same class as them.”
Vermont was taken aback by Felicity’s words. ‘How is he getting the praise when I literally started from the ground up? ‘ he thought. ‘I guess having a great friend isn’t always a good thing, especially when your crush keeps comparing the two of you.’
“Yosef Yarden.”
Felicity was shocked when she heard that name. ‘The top PR manager in the industry?! He has handled so many cases regarding public relations!’
A few years ago, a celebrity came out to clear things up about an illegitimate child. Yosef was the one who suggested coming out to the public while there was an ongoing case about another celebrity who allegedly abused and abandoned their child. The netizens praised the star who had the illegitimate child for taking responsibility rather
than just abandoning the kid. Soon, it became a multimillion dollar PR case, and Yosef Yarden rose to fame.
Since he did not lack wealth, one would need to have the right connections to get in touch with a PR manager like him. Stella’s situation was a piece of cake compared to the cases that Yosef had dealt with before. This meant that Felicity would not have to beg her so-called friends to help her out.
Felicity was excited. “D-Do you think he would accept my request?”
