Chapter 1773

“I’m going to meet Neville and help rescue Flossie,” Colin volunteered.

Matthew silently consented, and Colin left decisively.

Stella had confirmed the safety of the elderly couple.

She approached Matthew and said, “Your grandparents are fine.

I advised them to stay indoors for now.

”

Matthew nodded but, still worried, made another call.

“Find some agile people to covertly relocate my grandparents and guard them at all times.

Don’t leave without my order.

”

Hearing his arrangements, Stella grew more uneasy.

As he prepared to leave, she grabbed Matthew’s hand.

“Are you really going to meet Benny alone?”

Matthew pressed his lips together and didn’t respond.

The answer was obvious.

Stella gripped his hand tightly.

“Benny is a madman now.

He has nothing to lose and could do anything.

I’m afraid he’ll harm you.

He’s set a trap, I’m sure of it.

I’m worried about you…”

Matthew touched her face and said firmly, “I must meet him.

This is my chance to eliminate Benny.

He is a huge threat.

If I don’t, he’ll cause endless trouble in the future.

”

He lowered his voice and promised gently, “Don’t worry.

I’ll protect myself and won’t make you worry anymore.

”

Stella still felt uneasy, but with Flossie kidnapped and the elderly couple possibly in danger, they had no choice.

They could only find peace after confronting Benny and resolving the issue.

After considering everything, Stella nodded slightly, accepting the situation.

“Be careful and protect yourself,” she said seriously.

After hanging up the phone, Benny’s eyes burned with hatred.

Having narrowly escaped from the police car, he was now a fugitive, hunted by law enforcement.

Matthew’s relentless pursuit forced him into a life of clandestine evasion akin to that of a rat scurrying in the shadows.

The blame for his predicament lay squarely on Matthew’s shoulders; it was Matthew who had nearly taken his life before.

It had taken Benny a long time to rest and recover before he could come back.

He didn’t have the patience to play games with Matthew repeatedly.

This time, he had to get rid of Matthew completely before Leaving.

Matthew was the Linchpin of the Clark family; without him, both the Prosperity Group and the Clark family would crumble, ending Benny’s quest for revenge.

As these thoughts raced through his mind, the fierce countenance on Benny’s face softened slightly.

Turning to Flossie, he offered a brief apology.

“I’m sorry for frightening you.

”

Flossie met Benny’s gaze but remained silent.

“Today, when Matthew unexpectedly appeared, I panicked.

You’re the one I care about most.

I feared he might exploit you to seek revenge on me, so in a moment of panic, I had the bodyguard bring you here.

Did I frighten you?”

Benny’s smile seemed genuine, reminiscent of the affectionate boyfriend he once was, yet his warm gaze sent shivers down Flossie’s spine.
