Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan)
Chapter 2168

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

Since their last 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 glanced at Stella. "Aren't you going to pick up?"

Stella 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." Stella 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 situation completely. Their childhood friendship meant a lot to him. While he had once advised Stella to steer clear of Marshall, now he couldn't ignore him either.

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

Keegan covered her hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. Stella glanced 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 come pick him up and settle the bill.

Stella 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 accidentally 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.

Stella 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 Kayla Wilson. pee e as

Ss ver heckoontéct not only Stella but also several other people, fearing no one would respond. But only Stella and Kayla had answered the call in the middle of the night. After understanding the situation, Vermont left Marshall with Kayla.

He returned Keegan's call and said only one thing: "Ricky Adam is not within my control. The girl beiggm harass is\buanna's ;} 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 sas@and, alarid

These two were nuts!
