Ch.1350 Chapter 1354 - When Love Comes Late

After leaving the set, Matthew drove Stella straight to the police station.

âWhat are we doing here?â she asked, bewildered.

âTo report the case,â Matthew explained.

âWith the police involved, weâll find Leo faster.

By nightfall, news of Leoâs wanted status flooded the internet.

Leo, having suffered a losing streak, flicked on the TV only to find his wanted notice plastered across the screen.

His luck, it seemed, had taken a turn for the worse.

Leo crumpled the cigarette in his hand.

His heart thumped with rage and regret.

Heâd followed Elizabethâs twisted plan, harassing Stella only to end up a fugitive, hiding and penniless.

He was a huge mess.

His dream of rising to the top lay in shattered pieces around him.

He hurled the coffee mug at the TV.

The crash shattered the casinoâs atmosphere, drawing unwanted attention.

Panic surged through him as he lowered his head, fearing recognition.

He gritted his teeth.

Desperation fueled a dark idea in his mind.

News of Stellaâs incident hadnât spread online yet, but its impact was already being felt.

Filming had to be put on hold, causing disruptions to the production schedule.

As Elizabeth was returning home, her phone rang.

It was Bella.

âI heard something happened on set.

Are you alright?â Bellaâs voice was filled with concern.

Elizabethâs expression hardened.

âIâm fine.

Itâs all Stellaâs fault.

The mention of Stellaâs name caused Bella to pause.

This was the same girl sheâd felt an inexplicable connection to earlier, someone she never imagined could be capable of such actions.

Bella had heard whispers about Stella from Elizabeth before.

She admired her talent as a designer and had even hoped to connect with her someday.

But those hopes were now dashed.

Shaking off her thoughts, Bella offered comfort to her daughter.

âNothing has been going on in Dorburn.

Should I come to Seamarsh and help you out?â

âNo, thanks,â Elizabeth declined.

âI can handle it.

Donât worry about me.

The car pulled up to the villa.

âIâm home, Mom.

Goodnight.

With that, Elizabeth ended the call and stepped out of the car.

The bodyguard drove away, leaving her alone in the quiet street.
