Chapter 1130

Benny, tired of hiding, pondered for a moment and replied, “Find someone to distract Stella first.

I’ll use her to draw Matthew out.

”

“Fine,” Leslie replied eagerly.

“Help me get Matthew, and I’ll make sure you’re rewarded.

”

Benny didn’t waver.

He needed the money.

If Leslie could clear his debts and he could handle Matthew, his life might finally get easier.

“After you’re done with Stella, meet me at Lilji,” he said firmly.

Matthew tensed, his voice icy.

“Where are you?”

Benny gave him an address.

“Come alone.

“Mrs.

Clark hasn’t arrived.

Is she delayed?”

“She’s not coming today,” Matthew replied, his tone flat.

He stood, his face expressionless.

Matthew raced to Lilji, pulling up at the address Benny had given him.

The building before him was clearly old and neglected.

He stepped out of his car, his expression sour, and slammed the door behind him.

Finding the door slightly open, Matthew pushed his way in.

A peculiar scent wafted through the air, making him instinctively cover his nose.

The first floor was deserted.

He quickly called Benny.

“I’ve arrived.

Where are you?”
