Chapter 1098

Immediately, a tense atmosphere filled the meeting room, and the shareholders were too scared to even breathe loudly.

Benny locked eyes with Matthew, glancing briefly at Matthew’s thigh before flashing a frosty smile.

“It was a surprise to see you here.

If I had aimed better last night, your leg would’ve been no good today.

”

His words shocked everyone around them.

The two had butted heads the night before, and it looked like Matthew had gotten the worse end of it.

The shareholders waited, glancing at each other, curious about Matthew’s reaction.

Benny was known to be tough to handle.

Matthew kept his cool and avoided a direct reply.

“The meeting’s about to start.

Do you want to leave by yourself, or should I call security?”

Benny stayed put, sounding unbothered.

“I own part of this place.

I’m just learning how things work here.

Is this how you treat the shareholders?”

He raised an eyebrow, challenging Matthew with his stare.

Matthew remained calm, his voice steady.

“I bet Evelyn Riley wouldn’t be thrilled with how you’re acting now, right?”

At the mention of Evelyn, Benny’s expression changed.

He stood up quickly and grabbed Matthew’s collar.

“Say that one more time!”

His face was serious, and his eyes shone with an intense, icy anger, as if he was about to attack Matthew.

“Don’t think for a second that I don’t know your weak spots.

”

Matthew shook off his hand, his voice low and edged with a warning.

“Benny, I know those tricks of yours.

I’m always ready to take you on if you don’t back down.
