Chapter 1630
Mr. Kane Got cklisted Chapter 1630 [Eleven Jewell]
Marshall was taken aback by Felicity’s remark. He felt guilty and murmured,”There’s no doubt that my
actions have led to what happened here, but I really didn’t foresee that taking on this case would lead to
such consequences…”
Felicity felt even more frustrated upon hearing that. “What do you mean you didn’t foresee this? You
literally took on a divorce case. Are you telling me you didn’t know about the condition that your client’s
husband was suffering from?
Did you not know what kind of person he was? How many years have you been in this profession? Do
you just charge into cases with only passion? It’s fine if you don’t fear for your life, but don’t let your
actions drag others into it! How dare you im you never saw thising when someone is
unconscious while the other is nowhere to be found? You will have blood on your hands if Keegan is
found dead!”
Marshall’s face darkened, as he listened to Felicity’s harsh words.
Vermont thought that Felicity had gone a bit too far and decided to interject. “We haven’t found him yet,
so why are you talking about life or death? And it’s been two or three months since the court case. No
one could have guessed that the maniac was lurking around for so long.”
He turned to his friend and continued, “Marshall, don’t let her words get to you.
Ste hasn’t woken up yet. She’s just worried and saying things without thinking through. If you hadn’t
been there in time, maybe none of them would have made it. That man was a lunatic.”
Marshall looked defeated. It was unclear if he had taken in Vermont’sment. It took him a while to
say, “Ms.
Thompson is right. I bear an inescapable responsibility for this incident. I didn’t thoroughly look into the
husband before taking on that case. My client concealed her husband’s condition from me in order to
gain more assets in the divorce case, leaving me unaware of the potential risks. I am deeply sorry that it
led to all this.” Vermont remained silent. Unlike Felicity, who was not close with Marshall, he could not
bring himself to take his anger out on him.
Vermont and Keegan were childhood friends, and he had a solid rtionship with Marshall. He also
recognized that the bond between Marshall and Keegan was far stronger. On the night of the search,
Vermont had witnessed Marshall devote over ten hours to the search and rescue team in hopes of
finding Keegan. Despite the many grievances, he could not find the words to express them.
“Let’s just stop talking about this. There’s nothing else to be done here. You and Ms. Wilson should go
back for now,” said Vermont. He paused before he continued, “Mr. Saun is worried about Ste’s well-
being and asked us not to tell her about Keegan. So, don’t let anything slip when she wakes up. IV
Marshall fell silent for a moment. “Ste is smart. I doubt we can keep her in the dark for long.” “We’ll
keep this secret for as long as we can. We can’t afford any more mishaps.”
Marshall agreed with a nod and ced a bouquet of flowers by Ste’s bedside.
He gazed at her intensely and signaled Ka to leave.
The two did not speak on their way out of the room.
Ka thought that Keegan’s disappearance was a perfect opportunity for Marshall to pursue Ste.
However, he did not seem too pleased about the situation. After all, his love rival was also his best friend.
It was only natural that he was stilling to terms with it.
At the hospital entrance, Marshall turned to Ka and said,” Ms. Wilson, I’ve called you a cab. It’ll be
here shortly. The license te is XXXX. I have something to attend to at thew firm, so I won’t be able
to send you home.” “Oh, that’s fine. You can go.” Ka shrugged and was unfazed. Marshall gave her a
nod before turning around and walking away.

Ka watched him leave and thought, ‘He doesn’t even look like Keegan from the back. How could the
kidnappers mistake Keegan for him?’
Meanwhile, Ste was still having nightmares about the night she was kidnapped. The image of Keegan
being beaten and pushed into the water was reying in her brain. She watched helplessly, as he
drowned in the icy river. In her dreams, she was like a bystander. No matter how much she cried or tried
to hold on to Keegan, he would slip through her fingers everytime and be a lifeless corpse.
She cried and cried until she opened her eyes.
Suddenly, her surroundings were no longer pitch ck.
Above her was a white ceiling, and everything around her was bathed in light.
For a moment, she felt as though she had just woken up from a very long dream and that she was still at
Solstice Shore in the morning when Keegan proposed
to her.
