She recalled a previous attack, and Matthew had been her unwavering protector.
This time, however, her calls to him went unanswered.
Despite repeated attempts, there was no response.
Luka ended his call and saw Stella’s persistence. He comforted her.
“The police are on their way. We’ll be out of here soon.”
In North city, Matthew exited the hotel, ready to head to a construction site for crucial talks.
The sight that greeted him was shocking-his car vandalized, coated in red paint.

A note on the windshield caught his eye.
Without emotion, he read the threat scrawled across it. “Leave North city, or else…”
Breck, the marketing director, arrived later, taken aback by the scene.
After calling for security and checking the useless, sabotaged surveillance, he saw Matthew’s displeasure.
With caution, he inquired, “Mr. Clark, will you proceed to the construction site?”
After a thoughtful pause, Matthew nodded. “Bring more people. We’ll resolve this today.”
After Luka made the call to the police, they arrived within 15 minutes. The authorities swiftly evacuated the people gathered outside, clearing the way for the car to pass.
With the road finally clear, the driver restarted the car.
As the commotion outside gradually subsided, Stella let out a sigh of relief.

Luka frowned, a sense of guilt weighing on him. He gently patted Stella’s back, offering comfort. “It’s all over now. Today’s chaos is on me. I’m sorry you had to endure this because of me.”
Stella shook her head silently, opting not to respond.
The remainder of the journey to the film crew passed in silence, but by then, over an hour had elapsed since their scheduled start time.
Fortunately, Luka’s scenes had yet to begin.
Elizabeth had just finished a play when she spotted Stella and Luka.
Walking up to Stella, she greeted her with a smile. “Why are you so late? I’ve already wrapped up three performances.”
Stella responded quietly, “There was a traffic jam on the road.”
However, it seemed Elizabeth wasn’t willing to let the matter rest.
