Chapter 1782

“Thank you.

” Matthew smiled and added, “I’ll treat you to dinner soon.

”

Without missing a beat, Neville replied, “Then I’ll pick the priciest dishes.

”

Matthew just grinned, remaining silent, and ended the call.

The doctor realized Matthew wasn’t interested in a full check-up today, so he departed while Matthew was on the phone.

Stella had a general idea of their conversation based on what Matthew said on the phone.

She didn’t press for more details.

Instead, she gathered their belongings, and they were ready to leave the hospital.

As they were about to exit the room, a bodyguard knocked and entered, announcing, “Mr.

Clark, Bella is Here.

”

“Bella? Why is she here?” Stella was mildly surprised but instructed the bodyguard to usher Bella in.

In addition to Bella, Elizabeth was present.

Stella’s gaze briefly met Elizabeth’s before she averted her eyes, disregarding Elizabeth’s unfriendly demeanor.

With a smile directed at Bella, Stella remarked, “Bella, it’s a pleasant surprise to see you here today.

”

“I came after learning about Mr.

Clark’s injury.

I’m concerned for him and thought to pay a visit,” Bella stated, her eyes shifting to Matthew as she inquired, “How are you feeling now?”

Matthew responded with a distant yet courteous tone, “Thank you for your concern.

I’m feeling much better.

”

Bella let out a sigh of relief, remarking, “That’s reassuring.

After all, one’s health is paramount.

”

The three engaged in light conversation, touching upon the clothing project.

Bella had also caught wind of the developments within Prosperity Group but lacked specifics.

“Are you still considering proceeding with this project?”

Matthew nodded approvingly.

“I entrust this project to Stella.

Bella, I trust you’ll provide valuable guidance.

Stella has always admired your design skills.

”

Bella’s gaze softened.

“Stella possesses exceptional design prowess.

I deeply value her talent.

Your selection of her as project lead is commendable.

”

Bella’s commendation of Stella was sincere, causing Stella to blush modestly.

With humility, Stella admitted, “Your praise is flattering.

I don’t consider myself that skilled.

I’m truly sorry for having you help with the data manipulation.

”

“Why do you harbor such doubts?” Bella said in surprise.

“The integrity of the sales figures was never compromised.

”

Stella paused, perplexed.

“But…”

Despite prolonged contemplation, she couldn’t reconcile the discrepancy.

Bella elucidated with a smile, “I presented your design concepts to our clients.

They were overwhelmingly impressed, securing reservations and deposits.

The final payments are imminent.

This demonstrates their appreciation for your design acumen.

My role was merely to facilitate introductions.

The accolades are entirely attributable to your talent.
