Chapter 2095
When Love Comes Late
Her men obeyed her commands.
Suddenly, the silence of the road was broken by a noise.
Car headlights began to illuminate the darkness, one by one.
Over ten cars halted on the road, encircling the entire area.
Then, the sound of car doors opening echoed through the air.
Suddenly, a lot of people emerged from the vehicles.
Matthew stood at the forefront of the crowd, his expression stern.
The first person he noticed was Joann, who was directing her men in black in the middle of the road.
At that moment, it was clear to him who was responsible for the chaos.
Gazing at the detestable woman before him, he suppressed the urge to act and simply commanded in a low voice, âSeize this woman.
â
His bodyguards advanced and apprehended Joann.
Joann immediately pleaded, âIâm sorry, Mr.
Clark.
Iâm sorry, okay? But can we find Stella first? I⦠I need to apologize to her.
â
Matthew had no patience for her excuses.
As he was about to respond, Bennett also arrived, his demeanor as icy as Matthewâs.
âWhat have you done to Stella?â Anger simmered in Bennettâs voice, his fury so intense that it seemed he might commit violence.
Facing the two enraged men, Joann felt both guilt and fear.
She continued to apologize profusely, âIâm sorry.
Iâm truly sorry.
I didnât know.
If I had, I wouldnât have acted as I did.
â
She knelt on the ground, crawled toward Bennett, tugged at his sleeve, and pleaded, âI just love you too much.
I was afraid Stella would take you from me.
Please, can you forgive me?â
Bennett remained silent, stepping back, and looked at her with disgust.
Joann then turned to Matthew, begging, âMr.
Clark, Iâ¦â
Matthew interrupted coldly, âFrom now on, I donât want to see any member of the Crawford family in Seamarsh.
â
Then, in a frosty tone, he warned Bennett, âYouâre responsible for this mess.
Keep your distance from my wife going forward.
â
Joann went pale at his words.
Matthew contained his anger and said gravely, âIf anything happens to her today, both the Lowell and Crawford families will pay dearly.
â
Bennett also glared at Joann.
He briefly closed his eyes and said to Matthew, âIf anything happens to Stella today, I wonât let the Crawford family off the hook, either.
Iâve discovered that Stella is the person Iâve been searching for.
She is my uncleâs daughter.
â
Upon hearing this, Matthewâs face remained impassive.
Fernandoâs voice carried over from nearby, filled with surprise.
âMr.
Clark, weâve found footprints here!â
