Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan)
Chapter 2232

Chapter 2232

Stella and Keegan exchanged glances before turning abruptly to look at Vermont, who was muttering to himself behind them.

Startled by their stares, Vermont exclaimed, "Why are you glaring at me?"

Stella hurriedly asked, "What rumor? What do you know?"

Vermont blinked. "The rumor is that Ricky fell in love with his stand-in.

When she disappeared for a year, he was completely devastated. But when she came back, he was suddenly full of life again. So, the other girl got upset and started causing trouble for the stand-in every day."

Stella and Keegan were both speechless.

Stella frowned. "Didn't you say he indulged in all sorts of vices-drinking, gambling, and so on? How could someone like that have a good woman by his side?" "Even pigs eat rotten cabbage. Besides, given Ricky's background, if someone from a good family isn't interested, it doesn't mean someone from a poor family background won't be."

Next, Vermont told them an extremely melodramatic story.

He said Ricky had a childhood sweetheart who was the daughter of their family's nanny. They grew up together and developed feelings for each other.

Initially, Ricky's family didn't mind, thinking it was just a fling. But this girl turned out to be quite capable, driving Ricky mad about her.

Having her around as playmate was fine for a bit of fun, but if she wanted to become part of the family, the Adam family wouldn't allow it.

So, they spent some money and used some means to drive the girl away. When she left, Ricky went crazy because she left him a letter saying they were not destined to be together in this life, but maybe in the next.

Everyone who saw the letter thought she was contemplating suicide. Since Ricky couldn't replace her, he blamed her death on the Adam family.

Vermont said casually, "Everyone in the Adam family is sharp, but unfortunately, they had Ricky, who was foolish. Mrs. Adam never took that woman seriously; how could she dirty the Adam family's hands for someone like her? But Ricky, that fool, didn't believe it. He went against his family at every turn. When the family set him up on blind dates, he would bring his little lover to meet the potential matches. He intentionally provoked his family, and the women he found all had some resemblance to that girl. "It's said that he started taking drugs because he couldn't sleep thinking about that girl, and drugs helped ease that state."

Stella furrowed her brow. "Do scumbags always replace excuses like this?"

Vermont continued, "Later, he met a mini star at the club who looked a lot like the girl. He spoiled her rotten, and just when they were as close as could be, guess what happened?"

Keegan raised an eyebrow. Did the dead girl come back?"

Water sprayed out of Vermont's mouth. "Damn, how did you guess that?"

Keegan gave him a look as if he were mentally impaired. "Didn't you say from the beginning that the girl was causing trouble for the stand-in?"

Vermont was rendered speechless.

"Did I say that?"

Stella confirmed, "You did."

Vermont rubbed his temples. "I must be getting old; my gossip skills are declining."
