Chapter 449
When Love Comes Late
Just then, the bodyguard assigned to protect Stella hurried over, panting.
âMr.
Clark.
â He greeted Matthew respectfully.
Matthew nodded, signaling for him to continue.
The bodyguard methodically detailed the situation.
âBoth you and Stella were targeted by the assailants.
They perhaps didnât anticipate you separating briefly.
You happened to be walking on the road, making you the initial target.
â
Matthew paused briefly before asking, âDid you apprehend the person responsible?â
âHeâs been captured and is under interrogation, but heâs refusing to speak,â the bodyguard reported.
Matthew remained silent, visualizing a gruesome scenario in his mind, his heartbeat accelerating.
He issued a stern command.
âDonât let that man die before he confesses.
â
Matthewâs visage grew even darker.
Who could possibly want him dead? Jeremy? Or perhaps Charlene?

Regardless, he knew he needed to proactively invest in the Fairwa project.
Only by successfully managing Prosperity Group could he adequately safeguard Stella.
Neville gestured for the bodyguard to leave.
After his departure, Neville shared in a grave tone, âIt appears that keeping your relationship with Stella a secret is crucial for her well-being.
â
Matthew shot him a cold glance, âIâm aware.
â
Despite saying this, he felt a tinge of regret.
When Kaia found out about Matthewâs near-miss, she hastily scheduled a meeting with Charlene once the birthday party ended.
As soon as she saw Charlene, she blurted out, âWhy did you act so rashly? Do you realize how frightened I was?â
Charlene observed her for a moment before chuckling.
âDonât worry.
I have no intention of harming him.
â
âYou havenât harmed him yet? Matthew was nearly killed!â Kaia yelled.
Charlene smirked dismissively.
