Chapter 1092
When Love Comes Late
A gun.
He stood there, frozen, surprise dancing in his eyes.
Benny had a gun on him.
Heâd clearly prepared for this confrontation.
Seeing the change in Matthewâs expression, Benny curled his lips into a sinister smile and pressed the pistol more against Matthewâs waist.
âYou have three minutes.
Hand over Prosperity Group, or die right here,â Benny sneered, the gun cold and unforgiving in his grip.
âThat old man has no other heir but me.
Heâll turn to me to fill your shoes.
â
Matthew met his gaze unflinchingly, his voice steady despite the threat.
âProsperity Group will never be yours, and it will stay that way.
Someone like you, soaked in darkness, doesnât deserve its legacy.
â
âMe? Soaked in darkness?â Bennyâs eyes turned venomous as he aimed the gun at Matthewâs leg.
âYou think youâre some saint? Donât forget, youâre just a bastard yourself.
What gives you the right to judge me?â
Matthewâs eyes darkened.
âIf your heart wasnât stained, why go after an innocent woman? Should she pay for your hatred?â
âShut your mouth! One more word, and youâre dead!â Bennyâs rage boiled over.
He pressed the gun harder against Matthewâs leg, his face contorted with anger.
âWhy you? Why do you get everything while my Loved ones rot in the ground?â
Benny once had a tender and compassionate mother, yet he could only bear witness to her succumbing to illness in the end.
In contrast, Matthewâs mother lived a life of Luxury, residing alone in a villa and indulging in the riches befitting a wealthy lady.
Struggling to make ends meet, Benny found himself with no choice but to dip into the underworld, which ultimately implicated his fiancee.
He yearned for a respectable life, but no one gave him the chance.
He stood alone in his struggles.
He had no one but himself.
Matthew gazed at Benny for an extended moment.
At that moment, he knew that any further conversation was futile.
Benny was beyond saving.
He seemed irreversibly consumed by hatred.
âBenny,â Matthew said.
âIf you want to lead Prosperity Group, go for it with your own skills.
Iâm up for your challenge anytime.
But keep your hands off my family.
If you do, I wonât let you off the hook.
â
He took a step back, ready to leave.
