Ste was flustered.


    “Benny escaped? Didn’t the police take him away?”


    Neville exined, “I don’t have all the details.


    The police mentioned that Benny jumped out of the car on the way back to the station and got away.


    I’ve dispatched more people to chase him.


    Every crossroad in Seamarsh is blocked, so he can’t escape for now.


    He must still be in Seamarsh.


    ”


    Ste panicked, worried that Benny might return and harm Matthew again.


    Too much had happened recently, and the thought of losing Matthew again was unbearable.


    Matthew also appeared serious.


    Seeing Ste’s distress, he calmly reassured her, “Don’t be afraid.


    I won’t let him seed in hurting me again.


    ”


    Despite Matthew’s assurance, Ste remained uneasy.


    Their enemy lurked in the shadows, and Benny’s whereabouts were unknown, leaving them vulnerable to a surprise attack.


    Moreover, Benny’s methods were ruthless, involving direct killings.


    Today’s events only heightened Benny’s unpredictability.


    Taking a deep breath topose herself, Ste realized she couldn’t distract Matthew further and cause more trouble.


    “Send more people to tail you,” she advised, gripping Matthew’s hand tightly.


    Matthew nodded.


    “Don’t worry.N?velDrama.Org content.


    I fell into his trap due to carelessness.


    I’ll have the bodyguards take you back first, and then Neville and I will track down Benny.


    ”


    He held Ste’s cold hand firmly.


    Ste shook her head, reluctant to part from him.


    “It’s too dangerous…”


    Matthew rubbed her head affectionately, shing a reassuring smile.


    “Please understand.


    My recovery news is public now, and my grandparents needforting.


    I can’t visit them now.


    Please help me support them.


    ”


    Ste thought of Waldo and Lucia but couldn’t shake her worry when Matthew was out of sight.


    Sensitive to her unease, Matthew stroked her hair gently.


    “Don’t worry.


    I’ll return safely.


    ”


    With his repeated promise, Ste reluctantly agreed.


    The situation was urgent.


    Dying would only allow Benny to escape farther.


    It was hard, but Ste eventually left with the bodyguards and headed home.


    As soon as Ste left, Matthew’s expression darkened, and he left the Prosperity Group building with Neville.


    Meanwhile, Flossie, as usual, parted ways with Colin and was driven back by the silent bodyguard.


    The car ride was eerily quiet, with Flossie gazing out at the changing scenery, realizing they weren’t heading home.
