Chapter 1738

Stella shook her head.

“No, as long as she does nothing to harm Prosperity Group, she can stay.

”

She was different from Benny; she had morals and wouldn’t resort to his level of ruthlessness.

Her primary focus was on removing him from the company.

Fernando understood and nodded.

“Okay.

”

As they walked on, Stella issued another directive.

“Keep investigating Breck’s death.

It’s connected to Benny, I’m certain.

Once we have concrete evidence, we’ll confront him systematically.

”

Fernando concurred.

Reaching the elevator, Fernando pressed the button as Stella reflected on Benny’s recent threats, her expression hardening.

She added, “Benny’s reaction today shows his frustration.

Increase security at the hospital to prevent any further incidents.

”

Upon his return to the office, Benny’s countenance transformed into a portrait of fury, prompting him to swiftly remove his tie and loosen two buttons on his shirt, yet his rage remained unabated.

With a surge of anger, he swept everything on the desk to the floor in a violent motion.

The office echoed with the sound of items crashing, and the floor was left in disarray.

Placing his hands on the desk, he pounded it with two clenched fists, venting his frustration.

His current position had been hard-won, and he had been confident of victory until Stella intervened.

“Stella!” Benny spat out her name through clenched teeth.

His carefully laid plans had been unraveled by a woman!

With Matthew absent, he couldn’t believe Stella had the audacity to oppose him.

Benny seethed with annoyance.

The woman he had underestimated had turned out to be the one in his way.

His thoughts were abruptly interrupted by the ringing of his phone.

Seeing Edmund’s name on the caller ID only worsened Benny’s already foul mood.

At this moment, he didn’t want to engage with Edmund.

The persistent ringing of the phone left Benny with no choice but to answer.

After his attempts to calm himself, he reluctantly pressed the answer key.

“When do you plan to give me the shares of Prosperity Group you promised?” Edmund’s urgency was palpable.

Benny’s anger intensified at the mention of the shares, his tone turning unfriendly.

“What other shares do I have? Today, Stella unexpectedly intervened at the company.

Now I’m uncertain if I can retain my position as CEO.

”

Benny recounted the events of the day to Edmund.

Edmund was taken aback.

“Stella? Matthew’s wife?”

He hadn’t paid much attention to Stella before.

He had always regarded her as a woman whose career relied on Matthew’s success at best, believing she couldn’t significantly impact their plans.

Yet, the reality proved otherwise-Stella could disrupt their strategy.

Edmund’s words dripped with cruelty.

“Since she’s so insistent on meddling, we can easily put her in her place.

Dealing with a woman is a simple matter, especially when Matthew isn’t around to protect her.

”

Understanding Edmund’s intention, Benny interjected, “Let’s not act impulsively.

Someone took the fall for shooting Matthew, but with Breck’s recent death, even though it’s ruled as an accident, any harm to Stella now could draw unwanted attention from the police, putting us at a disadvantage.
