When Love Comes Late
Chapter 1727

The term only inflamed Waldo further.

His face hardened.

“Don’t mock me! Matthew is my only grandson!”

“Are you sure?” Benny countered with a sneer.

The last shred of family affection he had toward Waldo was gone.

“Things have changed, haven’t they?”

He tossed a document on the table, his eyes daring Waldo to open it.

As Waldo scanned the papers, his face darkened anew.

The document revealed Benny’s secret acquisition of company shares, making him the second-largest shareholder after Matthew.

Waldo gripped his cane for support, his voice a low growl.

“You… How long have you been behind this?”

Benny let out a humorless chuckle.

“The specifics are unimportant.

ALL that matters is I’m now in charge of the Prosperity Group.

”

Waldo sputtered, fury contorting his face, “You’re a madman! Bastard!”

Benny remained unfazed by the insults.

“Call me what you will, but our blood ties are undeniable.

Relax, Grandfather.

I’ll take care of the company.

You can retire in peace.

”

Waldo’s heart hammered against his ribs.

He raised his cane, pointing it accusingly at Benny.

Before he could utter another word, a wave of pain washed over him.

Clutching his chest, he slumped unconscious in his chair.

Panic gripped Fernando.

Ignoring Benny’s presence, he rushed Waldo to the hospital.

An eerie silence descended upon the room.

Benny met the gazes of the shareholders, his eyes glinting with newfound power.

“Effective immediately,” he declared, “I am the new CEO of the Prosperity Group.

”

The shareholders exchanged apprehensive glances.

No one dared to voice their concerns in the face of this unexpected power shift.

Ignoring their apprehension, Benny slammed a cooperation project document with Edmund onto the table.

“The Prosperity Group will reach new heights under my leadership.

We’ll become a global leader! Work hard, and you’ll be rewarded.

But betrayal will have consequences.

”

The rattled shareholders, cowed by Benny’s threats and his connection to Waldo, offered their reluctant support.

Benny had become the new CEO.

Once the meeting was over, Benny strode into Matthew’s office, a triumphant smile playing on his lips.

He settled into the chair, savoring his victory.

Meanwhile, at the hospital…

Stella remained oblivious to the company’s upheaval.

She sat anxiously outside Matthew’s ward.

She’d sent multiple messages to Flossie but all of them went unanswered, which added to her despair.

Bella arrived to find Stella lost in thought, feeling sorry for her.

“How’s Matthew?” She placed a hand on Stella’s shoulder.

“I contacted the doctors of Dorburn.

They’ll find a solution.

He’ll be okay, Stella.

”

Stella looked up at Bella, her throat tightening.

Since Matthew’s accident, Stella had been on edge, teetering on the brink of emotional collapse.

Bella’s comforting presence finally allowed her to release the pent-up emotions she had been holding back.

In an instant, Stella broke down in tears, burying her face into Bella’s embrace.
