Chapter 1759

Neville had mentioned Flossie’s visit in a tone of disbelief, remarking, “She claims she’s here to help us deal with Benny.

I’m not sure if we can trust her.

”

Stella found herself torn, grappling with conflicting emotions.

While part of her wanted to believe Flossie, it pained her to know that Flossie had concealed Benny’s survival.

Since the incident at the wedding, Stella had been hesitant to place too much trust in her.

Neville also divulged that Flossie had suffered the loss of her baby.

Exiting the elevator, Stella walked into the ward, where her anxieties eased upon seeing Matthew.

She let Matthew know she was aware of Flossie’s visit, seeking his perspective.

“What do you think? Do you trust her?” she asked, eager for his opinion.

Sensing her uncertainty, Matthew offered reassurance.

“Don’t worry.

Whether Flossie’s intentions are genuine or not, they won’t disrupt our plans significantly.

Even if she reveals my survival to Benny, we can handle it.

We’ll prepare accordingly.

”

He took Stella’s hand in his own and continued, “I don’t place much trust in her, but I trust your judgment in choosing friends.

”

The next day, Flossie headed over to Colin’s company.

Colin hadn’t seen Flossie for a long time.

He felt a spark of joy as he saw her approaching.

But that warmth was instantly doused when he noticed the expressionless man in a black suit trailing behind her.

Flossie kept silent.

Benny wasn’t kidding; he’d assigned a bodyguard.

Mustering a small, weak smile, she winked at Colin.

He understood the silent plea and ushered her into his office without question.

However, when the bodyguard made a move to follow, Colin reached out and stopped him with a firm tone.

“This is a matter of company confidentiality.

Outsiders aren’t allowed.

”

The bodyguard shifted uncomfortably.

Flossie’s voice turned icy.

“Benny just asked you to protect me.

I doubt anything will happen here.

”

The implication was clear: she wasn’t the one being watched.

The bodyguard didn’t dare to argue and stood by the door silently.

Flossie followed Colin into the room.

After he closed the door and locked it, he led her to the plush sofa.

He poured a glass of water for her.

He felt a pang of pity as he observed her haggard face, but he also sensed something was amiss.

“What happened, Flossie? What’s wrong with the bodyguard?”

Flossie hesitated, her eyes darting around the room before Landing on the closed door.

Sensing her unease, Colin reassured her, “The office has excellent soundproofing.

Whatever you need to say, say it freely.
