Chapter 1612


    Keegan told Ste to turn off the phone’s Bluetooth, enable power-saving mode, and hide it between


    two seats in the back row.


    Ste’s face was covered in sweat after doing all that.


    However, Keegan only noticed that her right index finger’s nail was broken when she tried to hide the


    phone. The blood seeping out from her nail was already dried.


    He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, clenched his hand tight, and remained silent.


    Ste saw the unpleasant look on his face and softly asked,” Is your wound hurting?” Then, she started


    ming herself. “I should’ve just waited for you inside the office. None of this would’ve happened if you


    didn’t get off the car outside the building just now.”


    Keegan heard it and said, “They had this all nned out.


    Even if I hadn’t gone out of the car, they would’ve still done the same thing in the parking lot. They were


    going to get me anyway. It’s not your fault.”


    Ste frowned. “But why would he do this to you? You’ve done nothing against him. If he wanted to


    take revenge, he should’vee after me, right?”


    Keegan paused. “Who? Are you talking about the kidnappers?


    “The man that you unmasked earlier.” Ste’s eyes turned cold. “Do you remember the man who


    attacked Mr. Moore back then? That time when Felicity and I went to save him. It was the same man.”

    That man had a fierce and hostile-looking face. He had even threatened Ste when he was arrested,


    so that was why Ste remembered him so vividly.


    “It’s him?”


    Keegan frowned and fell into deep thought.


    Ste looked at what Keegan was wearing and suddenly said, “Do you think that he might have


    mistaken you for Mr. Moore?”


    Keegan shook his head. “I remember you told me that he fought with Marshall on the ground for a long


    time. If he hated Marshall so much and wanted to seek revenge, do you think that he would make a


    mistake like this? Besides, Marshall and I don’t look alike at all.”


    And that was true…


    Their physique might look simr from behind, but their faces looked entirely different.


    However, Keegan could not determine whether this person was sent by Chandler, and what were the


    odds of them being the same individual who had attacked Marshall?


    “Stop thinking about it and conserve your energy. They might find out about the phone soon. We’ve got


    to look for a chance to escape.”


    Keegan paused before he continued, “If you encounter anything like this next time, don’t look back and


    just run. It’s very dangerous for you to go after people like them. What would I do if something


    happened to you?”


    Ste’s eyes turned red. “That man just swung a bat at you, and I was so scared. How could I run…”


    Keegan chuckled while enduring the pain. “It might look scary, but it doesn’t hurt at all. I’m only scared


    because you’re here too.” Keegan exhaled deeply and jokingly added, “You need to keep your word;


    one must always put themselves first.”


    “What about you? Didn’t you use to say that one’s instinct should be to save themselves first in times of


    danger? Why did you rush forward when the van wasing at me? Why didn’t you save yourself?”


    If the van had not driven toward Ste, Keegan would not have been distracted and got hit again.


    “I was trying to save myself.”


    Ste was puzzled.


    Keegan then whispered, “My heart is with you.”


    Ste could not believe that Keegan was still saying cheesy things tofort her at a time like this.


    She was about to say something more, but she saw the three kidnappers approaching the van with


    bags full of items.


    Ste nervously said, “They’reing back. Get down.”
