Chapter 1774

She couldn’t discern his true intentions, nor did she believe his words.

How could she not feel fear when she was whisked away to a secluded location without warning?

However, to avoid provoking him, she composed herself and said calmly, “I’m alright.

”

Holding Flossie’s hand, Benny reassured her, “Just hang in there a little longer.

Don’t worry; we’ll soon be able to leave this place and start afresh.

”

Flossie quivered with apprehension, swallowing hard to conceal her fear.

She made an effort to feign concern for him, gently urging, “Even though I’m not fully aware of the situation, if you’ve truly done something wrong, consider turning yourself in.

I don’t want you to

compound your mistakes.

I’ll appeal to Stella and Matthew for leniency, and my father will find a way to help us escape.

”

However, Benny shook his head disdainfully.

“You’re too trusting, Flossie.

The enmity between Matthew and me runs too deep.

He won’t spare me, and neither will I spare him.

One of us will meet our end.

”

If I surrender to the police, it’s a death sentence for me.

As for your father.

.

His words trailed off, replaced by a deadly glint in his eyes.

Edmund’s support was now out of the question.

Furthermore, Benny suspected that Edmund’s refusal to assist him, citing various excuses, was part of a calculated plan to sabotage his project, leaving him no choice but to turn to Gerry.

It dawned on Benny that Edmund, that treacherous bastard, had likely started planning to set him up when he refused to relinquish 50% of Prosperity Group’s shares.

A surge of hatred consumed him.

Matthew, Edmund-anyone who wronged him would face his wrath.

After dealing with them, he’d leave with Flossie.

She had saved him once, and since her bond with Edmund wasn’t deep, he didn’t mind her identity as Edmund’s daughter.

Observing the murderous glint in Benny’s eyes, Flossie sensed his intentions.

Benny’s tone softened as he said, “You don’t need to worry about the details.

Just stay here and wait for me to return.

”

With that, he drove off, leaving Flossie behind with the bodyguard.

As his car disappeared from view, Flossie’s gaze turned cold and indifferent.

Any tenderness or affection she once harbored for Benny evaporated.

She no longer harbored illusions about him.

Flossie gently clasped the bracelet in her hand, feeling grateful for the protection Colin had provided.

This bracelet could automatically alert the police.

When she spotted Benny in the suburbs, she activated the distress signal, summoning the authorities.

In the shadows of Seamarsh Cliff, Benny waited.

The appointed time with Matthew had arrived, and he watched as Matthew’s car struggled up the steep mountain road, the headlights cutting through the darkness like a knife.

The road was treacherous, and the car wobbled as it climbed.

Benny’s eyes, sharp as a hawk’s, never left the vehicle.
