Chapter 69:
Catching the ease in Kailey’s expression, Felicity felt genuinely happy for her. “It’s good you knew when to walk away. So when are you planning to introduce your husband to me p>
Kailey glanced around reflexively and lowered her voice. “He’s not my husband yet p>
“That’s only a matter of time.” Felicity laughed, clearly entertained. “You look like someone who found something priceless and is hiding it away, terrified someone else might take it p>
“Felicity!” Kailey protested, lifting her hand as if to swat her.
She stopped mid-motion, her eyes catching sight of someone inside the shop across the street.
Felicity had already walked a few steps ahead when she noticed Kailey was no longer beside her. She stopped and turned. “Why did you stop p>
𝘈𝘤𝘁і𝘷𝖾 𝗰𝘰mmu𝗻іty оո
Instead of answering, Kailey tilted her chin toward a woman inside the store. “Olivia p>
A mocking laugh escaped Felicity at once. Badly injured? Yet there she was, leisurely examining designer bags with a bright smile, looking perfectly fine.
“Oh, this is interesting,” Felicity said, her grin sharpening. “Let’s see what kind of performance she’s putting on p>
Kailey had no chance to object before Felicity pulled her toward the entrance. As they stepped inside, Olivia’s voice drifted from somewhere near the display.
“Can you customize this style exactly like the picture? Money isn’t a problem. My boyfriend has plenty. I might even take a few more p>
Felicity shot Kailey a look, then walked straight in. “Impressive. So this place does special matching services too? Though I’m not sure everything here actually suits you p>
Her sharp tone instantly drew every gaze in the store.
Olivia frowned and looked at Felicity with suspicion, then her eyes shifted to Kailey standing just behind her. Realization struck. “What did you just say p>
Felicity folded her arms without missing a beat. “If you already have poor taste, that’s one thing. But do you also have trouble hearing p>
Olivia was momentarily stunned. She had never imagined running into Kailey here, let alone with someone bold enough to speak like this.
“What’s the matter? Cat got your tongue?” Felicity continued, clearly enjoying herself as she watched Olivia grasp for words. “I thought you were supposed to be recovering in a hospital bed. How do you have the energy to go shopping for luxury bags p>
Anger surged through Olivia. She glanced around the store, jaw clenched, before finally snapping, “Kailey, are you seriously going to let your friend talk like this? Or should I call Ryan right now and let him handle it p>
Causing a scene had never been Kailey’s intention—not out of fear, but out of sheer exhaustion. Still, Felicity had already stepped forward, and staying silent was no longer an option.
“What she says is her own business,” Kailey answered in an even tone. “I’m not responsible for controlling her p>
“You p>
“You what?” Felicity immediately moved in front of Kailey with a sharp laugh. “Go ahead, make the call. I’d love for Ryan to come and see you in person—half dead, apparently, yet here you are with more energy than anyone p>
