Given the callerâs words, he was nearly certain that Stella was in jeopardy, and either Jeremy or Charlene was behind it.
Matthewâs expression turned grim.
He had always been cautious about his relationship with Stella to protect her.
He never thought that, despite his efforts, Stella would still end up in a perilous situation.
âDo not harm her,â Matthew warned, his voice icy.
âThat depends on your willingness to cooperate.

Noticing Stella sprawled on the floor, he brutally kicked her in the shoulder.

Matthewâs grip tightened on the steering wheel.
âHarm her and youâll get nothing.

The caller suddenly had a thought.
His lecherous gaze settled on Stella.
Then, smirking, he proposed, âIf you donât want her hurt, offer me something in advance.

âHow much are you asking for?â Matthew inquired bluntly.
âWill a hundred million suffice?â
The callerâs eyes sparkled with avarice.
He nodded energetically.
âPrepare the funds and contact me again.
â
Before disconnecting, Matthew added chillingly, âShe better be unharmed, or you wonât see a dime.
â
âI understand,â the caller replied dismissively.
After hanging up, he smirked disdainfully.
