Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted Chapter 1621 [Eleven Jewell]

Keegan’s wounds tore open, leaving him pale and in silent agony. He scoffed, “Did you bother to find out about us before making your move? She’s my ex wife. Do you really think a woman would show up for an ex-husband who treated her poorly?”

This seemed to strike a nerve with the kidnapper. He growled, “You divorced her just to fool around with my wife, didn’t you? And then, you conspired with her to divorce me!”

Keegan was puzzled by his accusation. “I have no idea what you’re talking about. I don’t know your wife.”

“Cut the act!” the abusive man raged. “As soon as she saw you, she wanted a divorce! You even helped her with the lawsuit. How could you!”

The slap was brutal. Keegan’s ears were ringing, but the man’s words made Keegan realize that what Stella had said might be true-the kidnappers had mistaken him for Marshall.

The abusive man grabbed Keegan’s neck and continued,” My wife left me, my son is gone, and my parents were forced to quit their jobs by the company. My family is torn apart because of you. I won’t let you two off so easily!”

He laughed maniacally. “It’s fine if she doesn’t come out. I’ll deal with you first and then find her later. There’s no one in this twenty-mile radius to help her. She couldn’t have gone far.”

The man was about to shove Keegan off the bridge when Stella’s voice echoed not far away. “Stop! You’re looking for me, right? So, stop hurting him. I’m coming out.”

Keegan’s heart skipped a beat. The thing he was worried about was happening right before his eyes.

Stella could have stayed hidden. However, she was afraid of what would have happened if she did not try to stop the man. Additionally, Keegan did not know how to swim. Even if he did, his clothes would weigh him down in the freezing water. The chances of him swimming to safety were low.

Stella simply could not afford to make that gamble.

As soon as Stella appeared, the perpetrator perked up. “True love prevails in times of trouble. How heartwarming,” he stated sarcastically. The man then pressed down on Keegan’s shoulder, and Keegan could not help but grunt.

Stella’s heart tightened. She clenched her fists and said,” You got the wrong person. He didn’t help your wife with the divorce. He’s not even a lawyer. He doesn’t even know how to represent someone in a lawsuit.”

“Do you think I’m stupid?” the abusive man sneered.

“It’s the truth!” Stella urged. “Take a good look at the person you’re holding. You were in close quarters with the lawyer when you fought him. I bet you know what he looks like.

They look completely different. How could you mistake one for the other?”

The man hesitated before examining Keegan’s face once more. The man could hardly tell him and Marshall apart. He tried to view Keegan from another angle, but the figure seemed identical to the person in his memory.

‘It’s a perfect match if he was dressed in a white suit. That woman must be lying!”

“Are you trying to deceive me and make a run for it?” he sneered.

“You’ve come across that lawyer face to face. How could I possibly trick you?”

Stella’s voice trembled. She was afraid that the lunatic would lose his grip and drop Keegan into the waters. Even though she was terrified, she kept her tone as soft as possible.

“The man you’re holding works at the Vinci Rivera Group. You can find his picture on their website. Meanwhile, the lawyer who helped your wife with the lawsuit works at Sterling Legal Solutions. There’s a picture of him on their site as well. You can search them up on your phone to compare them. Just one look and you’ll realize you’ve mistaken the two!”

A flicker of doubt crossed the man’s face. He stared at Stella with a tense expression and said, “If what you’re saying is true, I want you to call that lawyer and ask him to come over.”

Stella tightened her fists and said, “Will you release him if I give the lawyer a call?”

“Don’t do it!” Keegan shouted.

The man drew a knife and pressed it against Keegan’s neck. “Well, I won’t kill him right away.”

Stella had no negotiating power in this situation. So, she could only do her best to stall.

“Give me your phone, and I’ll make the call.”

The man did not trust her. “Tell me his number, and I’ll do the dialing. You can just stand there and speak. And don’t even think about trying anything funny.”
