Chapter 1623
Mr. Kane Got cklisted Chapter 1623 [Eleven Jewell]
Before Ste could process the situation, the kidnapper angrily hurled the phone
into the river. “You lying bitch! How dare you trick me?!”
Ste panicked. “I didn’t lie to you! I wouldn’t dare to deceive you when you’re
holding him hostage!”
Vermont was still on his way. The approaching vehicle was clearly not him.
‘We’re in the middle of nowhere. Who would venture here in the dead of night?
Could it be that the police had tracked our location?’
onto Keegan tightly, and his hands were trembling. It was evident he was
terrified that the approaching car might belong tow enforcement.
Keegan had lost a lot of blood at that point. He was ghastly pale and barely able
to stand on his own.
Ste’s heart ached for him. She feared that the kidnapper might impulsively
push Keegan off the bridge. “I swear I didn’t lie to you! Please release him. He’s
too injured to escape. Use me as your hostage. Please…”
Keegan could not bear to hear her pleas. Thest thing he wanted was to
witness Ste bending over backward for him, and yet, it had happened twice
on this very day.
All of the kidnapper’s attention was focused on the approaching vehicle. He
stared intently at the illuminated area until the car reached the bridge, and its
engine fell silent.
Instinctively, he pressed down on Keegan’s shoulder, preparing to act at any
moment. At that critical moment, a woman’s voice sounded from the car.
“Landon Havoc!”
The kidnapper’s body tensed up, and he was in disbelief.
Shortly after, the door of the car swung open. A woman d in a down jacket
and slippers stepped out of the vehicle. She was none other than the man’s ex wife.
By her side stood Marshall, donned in a ck windbreaker, nearly blending into
the night.
Hope ignited within Ste, and her eyes welled up with tears.
Marshall’s gaze darkened when he saw the blood on Ste, and he instinctively
felt guilty.
Landon grew increasingly agitated upon seeing Marshall and his ex-wife
together. “You wretched woman! I knew you were in a hurry to divorce me
because you were cheating on me with another man!”
“I wasn’t cheating on you!” The woman appeared genuinely afraid of him and
spoke in a fearful manner. “I wasn’t… He’s mywyer. I only asked him to help
me with the divorce case. I’ve told you many times that he’s just mywyer, but
you didn’t believe me.”
“Nonsense! You alwayse up with excuses to pacify me whenever you’re
with another man. Do you think I can’t tell what’s going on? You’ve clearly been
lying to me!”
Landon grew more and more restless. “Did I not treat you well? You’ve cheated
on me ever since I fell ill. People now think I’m a loser who can’t keep his
woman in check!”
“Why do you always trust what others say and not me?” The woman was
growing emotional. “You believed them when they told you I was involved with
other men. You wouldn’t even listen to my exnation. Which one of those so called friends of yours
actually treats you with sincerity? They’re all just using
you for favors. How many of them came to visit you when you fell ill and got
demoted? They only think of you when alcohol is involved. They don’t really
care about you. You’re just a form of entertainment to them! They’d be thrilled to

see you miserable!
“Look at you now. What have you be? They reveled in your misfortune the
moment your situation came to light on the news today. They even called my
parents with feigned concern. They could not wait to learn how the once mighty
man was reduced to a wretched state!” the woman continued.
“Bullshit! I saw youing out of a hotel with another man with my own eyes.
Are you telling me that’s fake?” Landon raged.
His ex-wife exined, “My friend came to Rivera for a business trip. He and his
mentor are researching a topic rted to your condition. I was simply seeking
his advice!”
