Chapter 1628
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. Thismeans 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 startedafter 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 hecouldn’t recognize faces, he became paranoid and developed a peculiar personality. He even developed bipolar disorder. Due tothis, he wasn't prosecuted after the assault but was sent to a mental hospital instead.
"His ex-wife and friends mentioned that his temperament was unpredictable. He was intensely possessive, especially after fallingill. He would suspect that he was being cheated on whenever his wife spoke to another man. Since Marshall helped his ex-wifeget a divorce from him, he held a grudge against Marshall. So, he looked for an opportunity to strike. The police speculate thathe 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 rememberedsome of Stella’s distinctive features and recognized her voice. The police found many videos of Stella on his phone. It's possiblehe 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 Stellaand 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 maynot 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 tospecifically choose that day to do so. There was also no need to kidnap Stella and Keegan in front of Vinci Rivera since it wouldraise 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 metsuch 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 notfor now."
Felicity's eyes brightened. "You think something's off too, right?!"novelbin
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 wasoverreacting.
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, "Youcame."
Felicity often greeted Marshall warmly but not this time. She did not even acknowledge him and simply walked away. She knewshe 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 horribleexperience!’ she thought.
