Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted Chapter 1558 [Eleven Jewell]
“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 lowkey when it comes to her personal life. I just can’t imagine her ruining someone else’s relationship.”
