Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted

Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted Chapter 2438 - Mr. Keller heard the commotion and asked, "What's going on?"

Vermont calmly handed a tissue to Felicity and casually said, "Oh, nothing. The cat at home caught a cold and is in a bad mood." Felicity took the tissue with a guilty expression, helped wipe the water from Vermont's face, and listened carefully to his explanation.

"You know, I have a lot of siblings. When my parents were younger, they were busy making money, so they left me in the countryside with my grandfather. He was just an ordinary farmer who couldn't read or write. As long as I stayed healthy, he thought I was doing fine. There were no extracurricular activities or tutoring-just playtime after school until I was about eleven or twelve. Then my grandfather's health declined, and my parents brought me back to Rivera.

When I got to the city, I didn't fit in. At a school event, the teacher asked everyone to showcase a talent, but I had none. I couldn't follow the English lessons, couldn't tell the difference between real and fake designer clothes, and even struggled with using a knife and fork at banquets. People saw me as a country bumpkin. I felt inferior back then. During New Year's, when my siblings received gifts, my parents told me to pick first, but I didn't dare choose what I really wanted. I always felt unworthy. Don't be fooled by my current status; I was just pretending because I'd been through a lot. What really changed me was my fiancée." Felicity paused and looked up at him. She thought he was making things up, but his words made her uncomfortable.

When she visited the Snyder family for dinner, she talked to Vermont's older brother and sister-in-law. The relationships among the Snyder siblings were distant, likely due to their blended family. Vermont was closest to his eldest brother, Corbin.

Corbin and his wife shared stories about Vermont's tough childhood in Rivera. His time there was much harder than he let on.

To make up for it, his parents sent him to an elite school in Rivera. The kids there came from wealthy families with established social circles. Vermont didn't fit in and wasn't welcomed.

Corbin said Vermont never talked about his struggles at school. Even if he had, their parents would have blamed him, thinking any problems were his fault. His siblings would have thought he was being ungrateful. At the time, Corbin was in college in another province and wasn't close to Vermont, but witnessing him being bullied was different.

The cruelty of young people is often innocent yet terrifying. There was a deep pond, and the son of a powerful man threw his watch into it, demanding Vermont retrieve it or he'd expose an embarrassing secret. Corbin explained that Grandpa Snyder had lived a rough life and didn't care about certain things. He didn't wear underwear, so he didn't think his grandson needed to either. Vermont's parents didn't notice, so when Vermont took a shower at school, his roommate discovered this "secret," giving others something to tease him about.

Because of this, Vermont had to obey whenever they used this against him for chores, homework, or errands.

Teenagers are very sensitive about their self-esteem, and Vermont was repeatedly humiliated by his peers because of this.

One day, after retrieving the watch from the pond, the boy mocked Vermont again. But this time, Vermont snapped. He rushed at the boy, pinning him down and repeatedly punching him. Even as the boy's friends kicked and hit Vermont, he wouldn't let go, like a wolf sinking its teeth into prey.

Despite his anger, fear gripped Vermont. The boy went from cursing to crying and begging for mercy. When Corbin finally pulled Vermont away, his eyes were filled with fury and hate, burning red.

The boy's family had influence, and Vermont's parents were afraid of offending them. They forced Vermont to apologize, putting all the blame on him.

After that day, Vermont stopped fighting. He learned to compromise and be diplomatic. To fit in, he started getting close to those people and ignored their mockery.

When Vermont first befriended Keegan, it was mostly because the Kane family was powerful in Rivera, and Keegan was their eldest grandson. Whether for protection or connections, Keegan was a strategic choice. But later, while drunk, Vermont confessed to Corbin-

"Keegan was too naïve. I told him I'd never had a model airplane, so he gave me the one his father gave him, pretending he didn't like it. Nonsense, that thing was spotless—he obviously treasured it. He's stubborn and easy to fool. If I told him I wasn't sincere about our friendship, would he cry? Forget it, I'll keep lying to him forever."

Felicity used to worry about Vermont's colorful dating history. She feared some old flame might reappear. But after hearing Corbin, she realized Keegan was the person Vermont cherished most, and she felt relieved.

Corbin only shared a small story, but it left her uneasy. Vermont had endured far more than he let on.

He told the story casually, half-jokingly, but it made Felicity's heart ache for him.

Suddenly, Felicity hugged Vermont's

waist. He gently returned the

embrace, stroked her back, and,

cheerfully told Mr. Keller on the phone, "My fiancée is straightforward. When we started dating, she always made the first move. She's bold, proactive, and full of optimism. She chased me for two months until I finally gave in."

Felicity stayed silent.

Her sadness faded, replaced by the urge to twist Vermont's ear. She chased him? What a joke!

Their relationship only happened because of his cunning and trickery! How dare he twist the truth!

Mr. Keller said, "When choosing a

partner, it's important to find.

someone with a complementary

personality. Most girls like funny

girls you've shown him might be shy, which is why nothing progressed. You should find someone more outgoing, confident, and energetic. They say it's easier for girls to pursue boys. If a girl takes the initiative, few men can resist." Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Mr. Keller believed Vermont's story and thought it made perfect sense, but then he added, "That's all well and do do you find a girl
