Chapter 1986
When Love Comes Late
Matthew offered a wry smile.
âThatâs typical of him.
â
Neville pressed, âNow that weâre aware of the truth, whatâs our next step? Should we have him arrested first?â
His anticipation was palpable, having invested considerable time and effort in uncovering the truth.
He was eager to watch Matthew unveil Kristianâs deceit for all to see.
Yet, Matthew did not respond to his query.
He simply glanced at his watch, gauging the time thoughtfully.
At that moment, Stellaâs plane was likely soaring above the ocean.
Hearing no response from Matthew, Neville pressed on.
âWhy are you silent? Iâm asking your next step.
Heâs scheming against your mother -in-law and your wife!â
Matthew replied calmly, âIâm aware.
â
He continued, âThereâs no action needed.
â
âihat?â Neville was perplexed.
âWhy not? Are you just going to let him get away with it? What exactly are your plans?â
Matthewâs gaze sharpened.
âI intend to use this chance to fully uncover his motives and remove him from the equation,â he declared firmly, igniting a spark of enthusiasm in Neville.
This was the decisive Matthew that Neville remembered.
Matthew then mentioned, âI need a favor from you.
â
Without hesitation, Neville responded, âTell me what it is.
If itâs within my power, Iâll assist you.
â
âThere are two individuals I need you to watch over for me,â Matthew instructed.
Confused, Neville asked, âGuard people? Who are they?â
Matthew provided only an address before abruptly ending the call.
Upon his return to the office, Matthew summoned Fernando.
âMr.
Clark, what can I assist you with?â he inquired.
âThe time has come to enact our plan,â Matthew stated.
He then observed the clock, waiting patiently.
Two hours passed; Stella and Bella were due to arrive in Dorburn.
The phone rang.
It was Kristian, his voice laden with anxiety.
âHave you been able to reach Stella and Bella? I canât make contact.
They should have disembarked, but thereâs absolutely no update.
â
From the other end of the line, Matthew could detect the sound of Kristian pacing, a man deeply concerned for his family.
