Chapter 825
When Love Comes Late
As the clock marched on, Stevie watched his stocks nosedive, his mood darkening with every passing second.
With no hint of Matthew backing down, Stevie had no option but to track down Fernandoâs location and leave Fairwa.
At the hospital, fate had Stevie bump into Fernando just as he was exiting the cafe.
Fernando, with a laptop bag in hand, gave Stevie a glance but remained stoic, continuing on his path.
âMr.
Quinn,â Stevie called out, lowering his pride with a groveling smile.
Fernando seemed to notice him for the first time, his voice neutral.
âMr.
Craig, what brings you here so late?â
âIâll get straight to the point,â Stevie said, his ignorance feigned, seeking to glean insight.
âCould you enlighten me on how Iâve crossed Prosperity Group? Why have they set their sights on my company?â
Fernandoâs gaze was cool and dismissive.
âIf you were unaware of your mistakes, why would you come to me?â
âWellâ¦â Stevie faltered, his face a canvas of conflicting emotions.
Fernando looked away with disinterest.
âItâs late.
Unless itâs urgent, Iâll be on my way.
â
âJust a moment,â Stevie said, reaching out and clasping Fernandoâs arm.
Fernandoâs brows knitted, and he withdrew his arm sharply, eyeing Stevie with measured calm.

âIf it wouldnât be too much trouble, might you arrange a meeting for Mr.
Clark and me? I wish to speak with him face to face.
Would that be possible?â Stevie asked, his stance subservient.
Fernandoâs attitude was frigid.
âMr.
Clark has retired for the evening.
We can attend to any issues tomorrow.
â
With those final words, he departed.
Stevie was left simmering in silent fury, powerless to sway Fernando.
He lingered at the hospital entrance, hope dwindling with each minute Matthew failed to appear.
The late night brought a biting wind that whipped around the hospital, sending shivers through Stevieâs frame.
Yet, the urgency to protect his fortune outweighed any physical discomfort.
