When Love Comes Late
Chapter 2077

Matthew frowned and inquired, “Bennett’s uncle?”

Fernando elucidated, “Yes.

Over a decade ago, a tragic car accident claimed the lives of his wife and daughter.

Sanford, a student he sponsored, has proven himself exceptionally capable.

Now, he holds a stake in Bennett’s company as well.

”

Pausing momentarily, Fernando resumed, saying, “However, I haven’t unearthed any details about the design director of Sanz Group.

This individual remains shrouded in mystery.

I’m afraid only a few are privy to his true identity, so confirmation is beyond reach at the moment.

”

Matthew’s attention lingered on the part about the car accident.

He remained deep in thought, offering no response.

Observing that Matthew offered no directives, Fernando assumed his mood had soured and promptly added, “I will delve deeper into Sanford’s background.

”

Matthew’s silence persisted.

“Mr.

Clark?” Fernando probed gently.

Roused by Fernando’s voice, Matthew regained his bearings and acknowledged, “I see.

”

He then queried, “By the way, how progresses the investigation into Stella’s biological father?”

Fernando shook his head, the frustration evident in his tone.

“The trail is too old.

Kristian remains tight-lipped, and the scant information complicates the inquiry.

I may need additional time.

”

Matthew’s expression tightened.

After a brief contemplation, he directed, “Prioritize the investigation into Bennett’s uncle.

”

Initially baffled by the abrupt shift from Stella’s father to Bennett’s uncle, Fernando, who had served Matthew for years, soon pieced together his train of thought.

Stunned, Fernando hesitated, wanting to voice his thoughts but ultimately held back.

He simply responded, “I’ll commence it immediately.

”

Stella had made a swift recovery.

Thanks to Matthew’s adept handling of the scandal, her connection with Sanford remained largely unnoticed.

As soon as she felt better, Stella promptly retrieved the business card Sanford had given her and contacted him.

“Mr.

Quimby, I’m Stella.

”

Sanford, a bit taken aback, responded, “Ms.

Anderson? Are you feeling better? What can I do for you?”

“I have recovered; thank you for your concern,” Stella replied graciously.

“Thank you for taking me to the hospital that day.

My husband and I would like to invite you to dinner.

Are you available tonight?”

Without hesitation, Sanford agreed and arranged to meet for dinner.

That evening, Stella and Matthew arrived at the restaurant they had chosen.

Shortly after they were seated, Sanford made his entrance, looking as distinguished as ever.

He turned to Stella first and remarked, “Ms.

Anderson, you do look much improved.

”

Stella responded with a smile, “I’ve had some rest.

Please, have a seat.

”
