Chapter 1627
’Is there any chance he's still alive?" Felicity's voice trembled, as she asked.
Vermont didn't know what to say. Although he was adept at comforting others, he did not feel as optimistic as usual
at that moment. The odds of Keegan surviving that night were slim. First, he did not know howto swim. And,
secondly, the conditions of the water were nearly impossible to swim in, especially while injured.
The body of the man who had plunged off the bridge with Keegan was recovered the next afternoon. Yet, there was
still no news about Keegan.
Vermont let out a sigh. "No news might just be good news. Stella didn't suffer any severe injuries when she jumped
into the water. But she's been unconscious for a long time.
Meanwhile, Marshall told us that Keegan was heavily injured. It's possible that someone saved him, but he's still out
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdue to his injuries."
Felicity's face turned pale. "What will Stella do when she wakes up?" she asked.
For the past few days, Stella had been in and out of fever. Her family had been constantly taking care of her. Felicity
could not bear to stay in the hospital room for too long, but she visited at least twice a day. She would witness Stella
having nightmares and mumbling Keegan's name every time she came over.
Felicity found it hard to accept the fact that Keegan was gone. She understood that it must be an even more painful
experience for Stella, who had lost a lover.
"The perpetrator is dead, but what about the other two kidnappers? This happened right before the election for
chairman at Vinci Rivera. There must be a mastermind behind this. Maybe Keegan's uncle is the one orchestrating
all this!" Felicity said in frustration.
Vermont's eyes grew colder. "When the two men were found, they were both severely injured. With the main culprit
dead, they naturally place all the blame on him. We currently have no evidence. There's nothing we can do, even if
Chandler was the one behind the incident. Plus—" Vermont did not finish his sentence.
Felicity despised it when people left sentences hanging. So, she asked, "Plus...? What? Why did you stop? Go on!"
"Plus, even if it really was him, it would be considered an internal family conflict. There's a chance that Mrs. Kane
Sr. might not pursue the matter any further."
Felicity could not believe her ears. "What do you mean she might not pursue the matter any further? He's her
grandson!"
No matter how close their bond is, once a person is gone, the focus shifts to the living," Vermont explained. "We
haven't found Keegan's body yet. No one knows if he's alive or dead. If Mrs. Kane Sr. sends her son to prison, who
would take charge of Vinci Rivera? The only people left to inherit the position are Jackson and Aurora, who, in my
opinion, are useless pieces of shit. With no one to take over, Vinci Rivera will inevitably be handed to someone else.
I'm sure Mrs.

Kane Sr. won't allow a situation like this to occur."
Moreover, it was very likely that Cordelia was feeling cornered right now. As soon as Keegan was in trouble, she
shut herself in and refused to see anyone. This was most likely because of Quentin's death.
Cordelia had seen all sorts of storms in her lifetime. She had lost her husband and her eldest son. Even though she
was grieving, there was no reason she would close herself off at such a crucial time.
Vermont could not help but feel sad, as he thought about the death of his best friend. ’With that sharp tongue of
his, why would God want to take him away this early?'
Felicity was deeply distressed. "So, are they going to pretend that nothing happened? The cops have to investigate
and close this case at some point, right? Are they going to stop all operations just because the Kane family doesn't
want to pursue the matter?"
Vermont fell silent for a moment before he said, "Actually, the police have found something in their investigation."
Felicity perked up. "What is it?"
The perpetrator who died, also known as the man you and Stella fought off when rescuing Marshall, suffered from
prosopagnosia."
