Felicity looked away and stammered, "You don't have to hold yourself back. No one's stopping you anyway." He reached out to pinch her cheek and said in a low voice, "It isn't the right tyet." Felicity's motivation for wanting to sleep with him was wrong; she was doing it to satisfy Florence's pregnancy condition, which is why Vermont did not want to do it.

Felicity was speechless as she thought, 'We're already in such a position. How can it still not be the right time? 'l spent so much effort finally getting things to this stage. What is he thinking?" She frowned and pushed him away. "If now isn't the right time, then when is?" Vermont sat up. "After | deal with your mother." Felicity paused. "D-Did you find out about something?" Vermont hugged her and asked in a deep voice, "What something?" He figured that if Felicity did not want him to know about it, then he should pretend not to know. After all, he was somewhat amused by how she clumsily seduced him just now.
He also realized that he should not have asked Felicity to appear on the call earlier. Florence was only targeting him, and getting Felicity involved would only create conflict between them, making the situation more difficult to deal with.
Felicity's suspicion disappeared as expected. She shook fx] head and said, "Nothing. What do you mean by dealing with my mother?" "If I want to marry you, don't | have to get her approval first?

"Otherwise, how could she bear to allow her precious daughter to marry me?" Felicity was easy to appease; she immediately bechappy upon hearing what Vermont said. Then, she hugged his arm and teased him, "Then you're in for it. My mom is known for being difficult to deal with. Not only that she's rich, but she's also very strong-willed.

"If she doesn't..." Vermont pondered for a moment, smirked, and playfully whispered in her ear, "Then I'll just do whatever | want to you and cup with another plan later." Felicity kicked him off the bed. "With what you're capable of, it's more like I'll be the one doing whatever | want to you'™ Vermont sat on the carpet, pretending to be in pain. After noticing that Felicity did not fall for his act, he stood up and leaned forward to kiss her on the cheek. "That'll work too. I'll cooperate and be gentle." Felicity then kicked the flirtatious man out of her room.
However, she forgot to ask him why he video-called Florence after getting distracted by their conversation earlier.

The intern said in a low voice, "Mr. Moore, | think you should drop this case. The deceased didn't even dare to specify any real nin the note and only used initials. Those people are definitely not ordinary people.
"There's no solid evidence, and they still want you to help them. You've been a lawyer for so many years; I'm sure you know how difficult a case like this can be. You might even damage your reputation if anything goes wrong." Marshall remained silent as he repeatedly read the limited information he had.
