Chapter 1331
When Love Comes Late
However, it rang again.
Hamilton was about to dismiss it when he heard Matthewâs voice.
âArenât you going to answer that?â
Matthew looked up at Hamilton, his smile faint but meaningful, silently urging him to take the call.
Confused but compelled, Hamilton answered.
The sound of his wifeâs distressed crying filled his ear.
âHamilton, something terrible has happened! Our children are missing!
Panic surged through Hamilton.
âWhat do you mean? How did that happen?â
âI⦠I donât know.
â Hamiltonâs wife sobbed uncontrollably, struggling to breathe.
âI went to pick up the children from kindergarten as usual, but the teacher said theyâd already been collected.
Iâve called our family and friends, but no one knows where they are.
What do we do now?â
Feeling helpless, Hamilton could only reply, âI see,â before hanging up.
Turning to Matthew, he realized the significance of the look Matthew had given him earlier.
âDid you have something to do with this?â he demanded.
Matthew remained silent.
Hamiltonâs frustration boiled over.
âMr.
Clark, Iâve supported you.
Why would you target me like this?â
Still, Matthew offered no explanation, only lifting an eyebrow with a smile that didnât quite reach his eyes.
âYouâre behind the vandalism of my car, arenât you?â
Hamiltonâs world revolved around his twins.
They were his treasure, and he had always cared for them meticulously.
Now, with them missing, his mind was in turmoil.
However, it rang again.

Reacting to Matthewâs accusation, Hamilton quickly defended himself.
âI didnât paint your car.
Please, look into it properly and donât falsely accuse me.
â
Matthewâs laughter was chilling.
âHow did you know my car was splashed with paint?â
Hamilton froze, realizing his slip.
â â He faltered, unable to form a coherent response.
Matthew didnât press him further.
Standing, he adopted a colder tone.
âShall we have an honest conversation now, Hamilton?â
Though phrased as a question, it was clear Hamilton had no option but to comply.
