Chapter 1772
When Love Comes Late
âSeamarsh Cliff.
But I suggest you come alone.
If I catch wind of anyone else, Iâll have Waldo and Lucia pay the price,â Benny threatened with venomous intensity.
Matthew hung up the phone.
âWas that Benny?â Stella asked nervously.
âWhat was that about?â
Colin looked at Matthew with concern.
âHe wants to meet me alone,â Matthew said in a deep voice.
âIf I bring anyone with me, heâll target my grandparents.
â
Stella, shocked, immediately made a call to ensure Waldo and Lucia were safe.
Benny had become a desperate man, capable of anything.
âWhere does he want to meet you? Whereâs Flossie? Please tell me sheâs safe,â Colin asked anxiously.
âAs long as Flossie is still useful to him, she will be safe,â
Matthew said calmly.
After checking the address, Matthew found that Seamarsh Cliff was only a kilometer away from Chehig District.
He was contemplating the perfect plan when Edmund contacted him.
Although Edmund had helped them against Benny before, Matthew didnât trust him as an ally and couldnât discern his true motives.
When the call connected, Matthew remained silent.
Edmund immediately expressed his willingness to cooperate.
âBenny took Flossie and just called me asking for a helicopter to be sent to Chehig District before dawn.
He must have contacted you as well.
â
Matthew frowned but stayed quiet.
âHe has a cache of military weapons, but youâre more familiar with Seamarsh,â Edmund continued.
âIf you can safely rescue Flossie, I can help you take down Benny.
â
As a businessman, Matthew understood clearly that friendships were driven by benefits, especially with someone as cunning as Edmund, who had been in the business world for years.
Given their shared goal, cooperation seemed feasible.
As an arms supplier, Edmund wielded significant power.
Having his support wouldnât be a bad thing.
Matthew agreed and shared his plan.
âFlossie is in Chehig District.
Benny wants to meet at Seamarsh Cliff.
Iâll have my friend, Neville, rescue her during that time.
The dense forest at Seamarsh Cliff is perfect for hiding.
Iâve identified a possible hideout for Benny and found a weak point.
I need your men to help me break through.
â
Edmund agreed without hesitation.
âNo problem.
Iâll arrange for my men to meet and deploy in advance.
â
After the planning, they hung up the phone.
