Chapter 1628
"What's that?" Felicity asked.
"It's commonly known as facial blindness. It's a neurological disorder characterized by the inability to recognize
faces. This means that the perpetrator can't distinguish people, especially strangers. So, he would rely on people's
clothing, body shape, and voice to identify them. His previous doctor said he developed this condition because of a
tumor in his brain. This all started after he got surgery to remove the tumor," explained Vermont.
He continued, "The police have checked with his family, friends, and colleagues. He indeed had this condition. And,
because he couldn’t recognize faces, he became paranoid and developed a peculiar personality. He even
developed bipolar disorder. Due to this, he wasn't prosecuted after the assault but was sent to a mental hospital
instead.

especially after falling ill. He would suspect that he was being cheated on whenever his wife spoke to another man.
Since Marshall helped his ex-wife get a divorce from him, he held a grudge against Marshall. So, he looked for an
opportunity to strike. The police speculate that he mistook Keegan for Marshall."
Felicity found the situation to be absurd. "How could he make a mistake like this? If he couldn't tell Keegan apart
from Mr. Moore, how did he recognize Stella? This doesn't make sense!"
"Stella has a mole on her left ear. The kidnapper had seen her numerous times due to her role in The Palace. He
remembered some of Stella’s distinctive features and recognized her voice. The police found many videos of Stella
on his phone. It's possible he targeted both of them for the sake of revenge."
Felicity could not wrap her head around it. "If it was for revenge, wouldn't it have been more fitting for him to strike
when Stella and Keegan were at Solstice Shore? Why choose to do it right at the entrance of Vinci Rivera right
before the election?"
As Felicity spoke, a sudden realization struck her. She furrowed her brows and said, "I think the reason behind this
attack may not entirely be as straightforward as we think."
Vermont had already noticed that something was amiss from the start. If the man wanted revenge, there was no
need to specifically choose that day to do so. There was also no need to kidnap Stella and Keegan in front of Vinci
Rivera since it would raise everybody's suspicion toward Chandler.
Chandler was a clever and cunning man. It was not likely that he would make that mistake.
The whole situation was full of peculiarities. However, with Keegan absent and Cordelia not accepting visitors,
Chandler was the only person in the Kane family who could call the shots. He was presumably pleased that Keegan
had met such an unfortunate end. Hence, there was no way that the Kanes would want to pursue the case.
After a moment of contemplation, Vermont took Felicity's hand and said, "Don't tell anyone about this, Miss Bandit,
at least not for now."

Felicity's eyes brightened. "You think something's off too, right?!"
Vermont covered her mouth and gestured for her to be silent.
Felicity blinked, looking around nervously. Seeing that no one was in the room with them, she thought that Vermont
was overreacting.
Just as she was about to say something, there was a light knock on the door.
Felicity pushed Vermont aside and went to answer it.
It was Marshall and Kayla.
Felicity immediately put on a stern expression and was about to close the door when Vermont quickly stopped her
and said, "You came."
Felicity often greeted Marshall warmly but not this time. She did not even acknowledge him and simply walked
away. She knew she was being too emotional, but she could not resist holding Marshall accountable for what
happened to her friends.
'If he had not taken on the divorce lawsuit and angered that lunatic, Keegan and Stella wouldn't have to go through
this horrible experience!' she thought.
