When Love Comes Late
Chapter 1863

This was what Matthew, who hurried over, witnessed.

Upon receiving Stella’s message, he promptly arrived with bodyguards.

Bella was visibly irritated.

She turned to Matthew and said, “Mr.

Clark, please help me.

I want these people out.

”

Following Matthew’s signal, one bodyguard escorted a pale-faced Tyron away, while two others approached Elizabeth.

As they reached for her, Elizabeth tried to break free.

“Don’t touch me!” Elizabeth’s voice was piercing.

She fell to her knees before Bella and grabbed her legs, pleading, “Mom, I now realize my mistakes.

I’m truly sorry.

Please, forgive me just this once.

”

But Bella remembered the arrogant tone Elizabeth had used while speaking with Tyron earlier.

With a heavy heart, she closed her eyes and said ruthlessly, “From today onward, you’re no longer my daughter.

”

Elizabeth was taken aback by Bella’s unexpected words, knowing her to be typically gentle-hearted.

However, when she observed Bella’s interaction with Stella, her anxiety heightened.

The realization struck Elizabeth: if this continued, Bella would eventually uncover her relationship with Stella, leaving Elizabeth with no chance at all.

In a state of panic, a reckless idea surged through her mind.

With a cold stare directed at Stella, Elizabeth’s gaze darted to the fruit knife on the table.

She resolved that even if it meant her demise, she couldn’t allow Stella to remain by Bella’s side.

At the very least, she would confront her fate alongside Stella today.

The impulsive urge consumed Elizabeth entirely.

Without a second thought, she seized the knife and lunged toward Stella in a frenzy.

Stella had remained vigilant the whole time, alert to Elizabeth’s every move.

Though she could have evaded the attack, the presence of Bella beside her gave her pause.

With Bella’s safety in mind, Stella’s reflexes slowed as she hesitated to dodge.

Meanwhile, Elizabeth, driven by madness, gripped the knife tightly as she charged forward, her sole intention fixed on harming Stella.

“Bitch, rot in hell!” Elizabeth spat out, her words dripping with venom.

Yet, before Elizabeth could make contact with Stella, she was forcefully kicked away.

Matthew’s expression turned icy as he glared at Elizabeth with disdain.

Bella, taken aback by Elizabeth’s drastic actions, remained in a state of shock as Elizabeth lay on the floor.

Stella, trembling with fear, felt her heart racing in her chest.

Matthew swiftly kicked the fruit knife aside and commanded his bodyguards, “Seize her.

”

The bodyguards apprehended Elizabeth, who struggled against their hold with visible anguish.

“Stella!” Elizabeth shrieked in madness, her voice filled with fury.

“You deceitful wretch! You’ve been instigating conflict between my mother and me all along! You’ll meet a gruesome end!”

A bodyguard silenced Elizabeth with a harsh slap.

“Shut up!”

Elizabeth’s face recoiled from the force of the blow, blood filling her mouth as she remained dazed, tears streaming down her cheeks.

Meanwhile, Kristian returned just as Tyron, who had been taken away moments earlier, spotted him in the corridor.

Desperate, Tyron pleaded, “Kristian, you’re back.

Please help me.

You know I didn’t drug Bella!”

Hearing the mention of “drug” and witnessing the doctor’s desperate state, Kristian realized that the truth had been uncovered, though he was uncertain to what extent.

Furious at Tyron’s folly in not only exposing himself but also attempting to implicate him, Kristian delivered a powerful blow, rendering Tyron unconscious.

“You despicable traitor!” Kristian seethed.

“I misjudged you.

I never imagined you would betray your profession and try to harm my wife!”

The commotion from outside echoed audibly within the room.

As Matthew emerged from the room, he caught sight of Kristian delivering blows to the unconscious Tyron.

His expression tightened in disapproval.

“That’s enough,” Matthew interjected sternly.

“He’s already unconscious.

”

However, Kristian, determined to earn trust, persisted, his voice resolute.

“This scoundrel drugged my wife and deceived me.

I won’t let him escape punishment.

”

Matthew offered a gentle reminder.

“Bella is still inside.

Shouldn’t you go and see her first?”
