Chapter 1132
When Love Comes Late
Matthew didnât budge, a smirk on his face.
He scoffed internally, doubting Bennyâs sincerity.
He knew Benny wouldnât just walk away after causing so much trouble.
He asked with a chill in his voice, âWhat makes you think you can make deals with me? You took my wife and hurt my family.
How do you plan to fix all that?â
While speaking, Matthew suddenly felt a pounding headache and a wave of dizziness.
He shook his head, trying hard to stay focused.
Matthewâs reaction was subtle, but Benny caught it easily.
He let out a chuckle and said, âRemember, your wifeâs life is in my control now.
Isnât that reason enough? Or donât you care about saving her?â
Then, stepping closer to Matthew, Benny whispered another chilling secret.
âIf you refuse my condition, your wife will be blown to pieces.
â
âBenny!â Matthewâs voice was filled with rage.
In a swift motion, he stood up, grabbed Benny by the collar, and slammed him against the table.
âIf you want revenge, come at me.
Leave her out of it!â
Bennyâs smile didnât waver.
âAgree to my terms, and I wonât hurt her.
After all, youâre my brother, and sheâs my sister-in-law.
â
Matthewâs hands clenched into fists, but he suddenly felt a wave of dizziness.
His vision blurred, and his body wobbled.
He quickly glanced at the bottle on the table, but dismissed the thought.
Benny had just had the same wine earlier.
There was no way he could be drugged, yet Benny seemed perfectly clear-headed.
Then it hit Matthew.
The odd scent he noticed on the first floor must have been the drug.

He realized he must have been drugged then.
Something was definitely off about that scent.
Matthew tried to clear his head, but his hands were growing weaker by the second.
Benny pushed him away, fixed his collar, and gave a slight smile.
Seeing Bennyâs alert expression, Matthew knew his hunch was right.
Fighting to stay conscious, he asked, âWhy are you doing this?â
âWhy?â Bennyâs smile was full of scorn.
âI want revenge, of course! I canât stand seeing you and your wife happy.
â
His eyes darkened as he continued, âAgree to one more thing, and Iâll leave you and Stella alone.
Otherwise, Iâll make your lives miserable.
â
Matthew asked, âWhat do you want?â
âBesides keeping Evelynâs house, I want 30% of Prosperity Groupâs shares,â
Benny said quietly, a hint of determination in his voice.
âI lost to you once, but I deserve this.
You have to give it to me!â
