When Love Comes Late
Chapter 1771

Noticing the change in his expression, Stella couldn’t help but worry.

“What happened? Is there any news about Benny?” she asked, her voice anxious.

Matthew thought for a moment and answered honestly, “It’s Flossie.

She’s in danger.

”

Stella’s shock was evident.

“What happened to her?”

Despite her unresolved feelings about Flossie’s past deceptions, she harbored no ill wishes for her.

Matthew quickly explained the situation.

“Flossie was a crucial ally in our efforts to defeat Benny.

Edmund contacted the arms dealer, Gerry.

And it was Edmund who devised the plan that led to Benny’s downfall, providing us with crucial evidence.

”

As Matthew and Stella conversed, the car pulled up at Prosper Bay.

Before Stella could fully process Matthew’s words, he turned to her and said, “Colin is waiting for us.

Let’s find out what’s happening.

”

As soon as they got out of the car, Colin approached them.

Concern etched on her face, Stella inquired, “What happened to Flossie?”

Colin’s expression turned grave as he replied in a subdued tone, “Flossie was at my office when she got a call from Edmund.

He warned her that Benny had escaped during his transfer to the police station.

Before we could react, Benny’s bodyguard showed up and took her by force.

”

His frown deepened, his tone becoming colder with each word.

“I’ve always been worried about her safety; I even put a GPS tracker in her bracelet.

Since she was taken, the GPS showed her location moving to increasingly remote areas.

”

Colin’s expression darkened further.

“Now that Benny is on the loose, his intentions are unclear.

But it’s likely he’s using Flossie as leverage, threatening Edmund for his escape.

”

His fists clenched in frustration and anger at his inability to protect Flossie.

“I should have stopped the bodyguard when I had the chance,” he muttered.

Matthew frowned and asked, “Where’s the current Location?”

Colin immediately showed him the GPS location on his phone.

It pinpointed a remote area in the suburbs of Seamarsh, within the Chehig District-an empty and deserted area where finding someone would be akin to searching for a needle in a haystack.

Colin had no choice but to ask Matthew for help.

The atmosphere grew tense.

With a worried expression, Stella asked, “What’s our next move?”

Before Matthew could formulate a plan, his phone rang.

He picked it up and saw that it was a call from Benny.

Matthew answered immediately, his eyes as cold as ice.

“You’ve run out of options.

There’s no escape for you.

Surrender now, and I might consider showing you mercy.

”

“This isn’t over.

Don’t mistake my retreat for a defeat.

The law won’t resolve our conflict.

Let’s settle this face-to-face.

” Benny’s response was cold and menacing.

Matthew’s voice dropped to a low, dangerous tone.

“Tell me your address.

”
