Chapter 1617

Stella's eyes turned red, as she witnessed Keegan being tortured. She wanted to rush over to him, but a man held her back. She looked at her partner who was drenched in blood, and her tears fell uncontrollably. The man restraining Stella took in the tragic scene and felt somewhat uneasy. He loosened his grip, allowing Stella to break free and shield Keegan. Marshall's previous attacker, who was an abuser, swung the bamboo stick toward Stella and hit her neck. The splinters from the stick pierced through her skin. Although Stella was crying out in pain, she held onto Keegan with fierce determination. "Bitch! How dare you stash that phone away!" The man's eyes burned with anger. He tossed the stick aside, grabbed a shovel from the ground, and was ready to strike. However, Stella did not care. She bent down and pressed her face to Keegan's. Tears streamed down her cheeks, as she heard his faint breaths. Just as the shovel was about to strike her, someone kicked the abusive man away.
