Chapter 1099

For the first time, Benny showed fear in his eyes.

He stared at Matthew, remaining silent.

In frustration, he pushed away a nearby chair.

The noise of the chair scraping the floor startled everyone there.

Matthew stayed cool.

He had his own people and things to worry about, and so did Benny.

One of them was Benny’s fiancee, Evelyn Riley.

Matthew watched Benny storm off, then quickly regained his composure.

He went back to his chair and said firmly, “Let’s start the meeting.

”

The meeting’s main goal was to explain to the shareholders why they stopped working with Evans Group.

Since this was a sudden decision, Matthew needed to reassure them.

Afterwards, Matthew asked Fernando to join him in his office.

He looked at Fernando, his eyes briefly showing a hint of sternness.

“How’s the investigation?”

Last night, Matthew had made an announcement and also told Fernando to keep digging into Benny’s activities.

He had a hunch that Benny was the one secretly buying shares recently.

Ready for a showdown, Matthew needed to understand Benny’s background.

The investigation not only proved his suspicions but also revealed Benny’s hidden past.

“Benny isn’t wealthy since he came back to Seamarsh,” Fernando informed.

“He’s borrowed heavily from Sprague and an underground bank to buy shares from Prosperity Group.

I’ll watch the stock market closely to stop any of his tricks.

”

Matthew’s expression remained troubled.

He recognized the serious risk in Benny’s actions, a clear sign of his desperate quest for revenge.

“Benny’s drowning in debt.

Now, with Prosperity Group’s shares in his hands, he’ll likely sell some,” Matthew speculated, his voice deep and serious.

“He needs cash, but he’s on his own in this battle.

We have nothing to fear from him.

”

After leaving Prosperity Group, Benny headed straight to a bar.

There, he spent the whole day and night drinking alone.

His phone on the table vibrated incessantly with Sprague’s calls and messages, full of apologies.

Benny only gave them a quick glance, not really caring.

The alcohol dulled his senses but somehow sharpened his thoughts.
