Matthew’s face fell. He tried his best to talk calmly. “I’ll handle it, thanks.”
He looked out the window, recollecting himself. “Just send one of our men to keep an eye on Evelyn’s place. If he’s truly alive, he might go back there.”
“Got it.” With that, Fernando hung up.
Matthew blamed himself.
If he didn’t end up being hospitalized, he would have made sure Benny was actually gone.
But one question lingered at the back of his mind. Who had saved Benny?
Different people crossed his mind but none of them seemed to fit. After a few more seconds of pondering, he walked back to the others at the table.

“Hold on…” Stella hurriedly took out her phone and called Flossie.
Flossie’s phone had been turned off.
Stella grew worried. Was Flossie working with Benny?
Matthew ruffled her hair to comfort her. “You have to make sure to be alert at all times until we confirm if he’s actually dead.”
In Sunnysky Restaurant, Neville sat at a table, tapping away on his phone, clearly restless.
Cordell messaged him about Matthew’s day, prompting a concerned frown from him.
