Chapter 2168


    Ste was taken aback seeing that Marshall Moore was calling her.


    Since theirst disagreement, she hadn’t been in touch with Marshall. Plus, the timing was odd-well


    past one in the morning, which didn''t fit Marshall''s usual habits.


    She furrowed her brow but didn''t reach for the phone.

    Keegan nced at Ste. "Aren''t you going to pick up?"


    Ste tossed him the phone. "No."


    Keegan nodded approvingly, but still handed the phone back. "Calling at this hour must mean it''s


    urgent. You should take it."


    Ste remained silent. Keegan wasn''t being jealous or passive-aggressive; he genuinely believed it


    was important.


    He knew the kidnapping case might be connected to Marshall, but he couldn''t ignore Marshall''s


    situationpletely. Their childhood friendship meant a lot to him. While he had once advised Ste to


    steer clear of Marshall, now he couldn''t ignore him either.


    That''s why Ste couldn''t contain her emotions toward Marshall after learning the truth.


    Keegan covered her hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. Ste nced at him before finally answering


    the call.


    The other end of the line was noisy, but the voice wasn''t Marshall’s; it belonged to a stranger. They


    informed her that Marshall had had too much to drink at the Sapphire Clubhouse and asked her to


    Ste wanted to ask for more details, but the caller seemed busy and hung up after a few words.


    Marshall had gotten drunk in a private room at the Sapphire Clubhouse. The server said he had been


    drinking heavily on behalf of a girl who had identally stained another guest''s clothes. The guest had


    deliberately caused trouble for the girl, and Marshall had ended up drinking so much that he passed


    out.


    Ste didn''t go herself, nor did she ask Keegan to go. Instead, she contacted Vermont.


    However, Vermont didn''t bring Marshall back because he had run into Ka Wilson. It turned out the


    server had contacted not only Ste but also several other people, fearing no one would respond. But


    only Ste and Ka had answered the call in the middle of the night.


    After understanding the situation, Vermont left Marshall with Ka.


    He returned Keegan''s call and said only one thing: "Ricky Adam is not within my control. The girl being


    harassed is Luanna Saab, someone Ricky used to support. Their family has some feud with the Adam


    family. Marshall has never been involved in this before. I don''t know what happened this time."


    Vermont was unaware of Luanna''s death.


    In an instant, they both understood-Marshall had indeed taken on Luanna''s case and, along with Lina


    Saab, was setting a trap for Ricky. Lina was assuming Luanna''s identity to investigate her cause of


    death.


    These two were nuts!
