Keegan told Stella to turn off the phone’s Bluetooth, enable power-saving mode, and hide it between two seats in the back row.
Stella’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.
Stella saw the unpleasant look on his face and softly asked,” Is your wound hurting?” Then, she started blaming 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 planned 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.”
Stella frowned. “But why would he do this to you? You’ve done nothing against him. If he wanted to take revenge, he should’ve come after me, right?”
Keegan paused. “Who? Are you talking about the kidnappers?
“The man that you unmasked earlier.” Stella’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 Stella when he was arrested, so that was why Stella remembered him so vividly.
“It’s him?”
Keegan frowned and fell into deep thought.
Stella 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.”
