Chapter 1726

Meanwhile, news of Matthew’s injuries circulated online, igniting a frenzy of speculation among netizens.

“Oh my God! Did you see the video? Matthew’s been seriously hurt! No updates yet.

He’s probably dead.

A funeral right after the wedding?”

“The old chairman’s too frail to manage the group alone.

Matthew’s the sole heir.

If he doesn’t pull through, what will become of the company?”

“Rumor has it, it wasn’t an accident or revenge.

It was the act of an illegitimate son within the Clark family.

Brothers turning against each other.

”

“What? An illegitimate son in the Clark family? If Matthew doesn’t make it, will there be a new CEO for Prosperity Group?”

As Elizabeth perused the news from her hotel room, unease settled within her.

Her heart twisted with concern as she pondered Matthew’s condition.

The thought of him saving Stella at the cost of his own life churned within her, igniting a storm of conflicting emotions.

The mere thought left her despondent; Stella was nothing short of a jinx.

Despite her anger simmering just beneath the surface, Elizabeth’s attention shifted to Bella, who lay sleeping nearby Bella had been through a traumatic experience at the wedding drifting into a daze upon her return.

Elizabeth stayed by her side, consoling her until she finally found solace in sleep.

Just as Elizabeth prepared to depart for the hospital, Bella stirred from her slumber.

She caught Bella murmuring Stella’s name in her sleep.

A furrow creased Elizabeth’s brow, halting her in her tracks.

Then, Bella uttered another name “Kori…”

Elizabeth’s expression darkened.

She feared something unpredictable might unfold, prompting her to abandon her hospital visit after a brief hesitation.

Then, she reached for her phone, issuing a directive.

“Keep a vigilant watch over the hospital.

Notify me immediately of any updates regarding Matthew.

”

The Prosperity Group issued a solemn statement attempting to quell online rumors.

They assured the public that Matthew was safe and would recover soon.

However, Matthew’s continued absence fueled speculation.

People started believing he wouldn’t recover.

Despite Waldo’s efforts to stabilize the company, the Prosperity Group’s stock price plummeted for three consecutive days.

Desperate to reassure shareholders, he scheduled a meeting.

But none of his reassurances seemed to be getting to the members of board.

The room buzzed with worried chatter and escalating arguments.

Waldo felt a pressure building in his temples.

Just then, the door burst open, revealing Benny and a flustered receptionist.

Waldo erupted in fury.

Slamming his fist on the table, he bellowed, “What are you doing here?”

“Grandfather,” said Benny with a faint smirk.
