Ch.1765 Chapter 1770 - When Love Comes Late

Neville said, âIâll take care of it immediately.

He opened the car door and said, âWhere to? I can drive you.

Without hesitating, Matthew said, âTake me to my grandparentsâ house first.

Stella is waiting there.

That night, when Waldo and Lucia saw Matthew, their eyes welled up with tears as they fussed over him.

After comforting the elderly couple, Matthew and Stella left the old house.

They chose not to worry Lucia and Waldo with the news of Bennyâs escape.

Stella was uneasy

throughout the night.

Once they were away from the old house, Stella could no longer hold back what had been on her mind all day.

âHave you found Benny?â she asked Matthew, filled with concern.

Matthew shook his head and said, âNot yet.

Stellaâs expression darkened, a wave of fear washing over her.

Matthew quickly reassured her, saying, âDonât worry.

The police and our team are on it.

Weâve nearly sealed off all exits; he wonât get far.

Stella nodded, trusting Matthew and the policeâs competence.

The car fell into a brief silence before Stella broached a subject she hadnât had the chance to during their earlier meeting.

âBy the way, who is Gerry?â As she spoke, Stellaâs concern deepened.

âAre you involved in the smuggling?â

Her worry stemmed from the possibility that Matthew might stray from the right path in his rush to take down Benny.

âI have nothing to do with them,â Matthew asserted firmly.

âI havenât mentioned it yet, but we actually had another significant ally in our effort to bring down Benny.

Stella looked puzzled.

âWho is it?â

Matthew gave a slight smile.

âYou know this person too.

He was interrupted before he could continue.

His phone rang.

Stella glanced at the caller ID and saw an unknown number.

âThis is Colin.

Matthew was stunned for a few seconds when he heard Colinâs voice on the other end of the line.

After he listened to what Colin said, Matthewâs face suddenly changed.

He exchanged a few brief words, and then hung up the phone and drove quickly to Prosper Bay.
