Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 1942

Felicity looked in the direction that Vermont’s finger was pointing at.

Erick and Olivia were sitting together. Next to Erick, there was a middle-aged man. And, on the right side of that man, there was a middle-aged woman that was dressed in a similar fashion as Olivia.

The woman had an average physique and an ordinary appearance, but she exuded an excellent temperament. She looked exactly like someone with a high social status.

Meanwhile, the man had a resemblance to the groom, but he looked very serious. His looks were akin to the corporate leaders and government officials in the photos displayed at Florence’s home. He exuded an air of elegance and authority.

When Erick talked to that man, he would unknowingly hunch his back as though he was a slave.

Felicity was confused. “What’s wrong with that table?”

Vermont pinched her cheeks and softly said, “Babe, you’re too innocent. Would you look at the way Ricky’s father is looking at the bride?”

Felicity was stunned, and she looked over again.

She finally saw it this time. The middle-aged man’s gaze toward the bride was not how a father would look at his daughter-in-law. Instead, it was akin to scrutinizing a piece of merchandise. His eyes were blatantly assessing every inch of the bride from head to toe.

Suddenly, she thought of the farmers back in her hometown who were inspecting pregnant pigs in the shed with a similar expression. They were evaluating whether the pigs looked good, ate well, and whether the piglets they gave birth to would be healthy…

Felicity suddenly felt uncomfortable, and she furrowed her brows.

“What’s wrong?” Vermont asked.

Felicity replied in a low voice, “The way he’s looking at the bride makes me uncomfortable.”

Vermont said flatly, “That’s right. For someone who’s going to have a child with him, he has to see if she’s good enough.”
