Chapter 1327
When Love Comes Late
She recalled a previous attack, and Matthew had been her unwavering protector.
This time, however, her calls to him went unanswered.
Despite repeated attempts, there was no response.
Luka ended his call and saw Stellaâs persistence.
He comforted her.
âThe police are on their way.
Weâll be out of here soon.
â
In North city, Matthew exited the hotel, ready to head to a construction site for crucial talks.
The sight that greeted him was shocking-his car vandalized, coated in red paint.
A note on the windshield caught his eye.
Without emotion, he read the threat scrawled across it.
âLeave North city, or elseâ¦â
Breck, the marketing director, arrived later, taken aback by the scene.
After calling for security and checking the useless, sabotaged surveillance, he saw Matthewâs displeasure.
With caution, he inquired, âMr.
Clark, will you proceed to the construction site?â
After a thoughtful pause, Matthew nodded.
âBring more people.
Weâll resolve this today.
â
After Luka made the call to the police, they arrived within 15 minutes.
The authorities swiftly evacuated the people gathered outside, clearing the way for the car to pass.
With the road finally clear, the driver restarted the car.
As the commotion outside gradually subsided, Stella let out a sigh of relief.

Luka frowned, a sense of guilt weighing on him.
He gently patted Stellaâs back, offering comfort.
âItâs all over now.
Todayâs chaos is on me.
Iâm sorry you had to endure this because of me.
â
Stella shook her head silently, opting not to respond.
The remainder of the journey to the film crew passed in silence, but by then, over an hour had elapsed since their scheduled start time.
Fortunately, Lukaâs scenes had yet to begin.
Elizabeth had just finished a play when she spotted Stella and Luka.
Walking up to Stella, she greeted her with a smile.
âWhy are you so late? Iâve already wrapped up three performances.
â
Stella responded quietly, âThere was a traffic jam on the road.
â
However, it seemed Elizabeth wasnât willing to let the matter rest.
