What purpose does your presence serve now?”
He then signaled to his bodyguard.
The bodyguard forced Benny towards the window. Despite his efforts, Benny found himself immobilized.
“Stay away from Flossie,” Edmund commanded coldly from behind.
Benny attempted to resist, but the bodyguard’s grip tightened with every struggle.
Benny’s unease grew, suspecting Edmund’s kindness towards Flossie hid ulterior motives.

There had to be something more Edmund wanted from Flossie.
“How dare you dictate terms? I’m Flossie’s boyfriend. If it’s over, she should be the one to tell me,” Benny retorted through clenched teeth.
Edmund’s expression darkened further, his fists clenched, barely restraining his anger.
“Boyfriend?” A scornful smile flickered across Edmund’s face.
“Flossie is my daughter. That gives me every right to cut you off from her.”
Benny’s shock was evident, disbelief etching his features.
As he searched for words, his attention was drawn to a familiar car outside the window.
Turning, he saw Matthew and Stella alighting from the vehicle.
With determination in his eyes, Benny addressed Edmund, “I regret today’s events. But having chosen Flossie, I commit to her well-being and vow never to cause her harm again.”
Edmund remained unimpressed by the pledge.
Benny persisted, “As her boyfriend, I’ll protect her from harm. The real threat is whoever lured her to the resort, risking her life in the snow. They harbor ill intent.”
This seemed to give Edmund pause, his expression softening as he mulled over Benny’s words.
“I intend to confront those responsible. Flossie shouldn’t suffer because of them. We can discuss this later if you wish,” Benny hurried to add.

Noticing Matthew and Stella’s imminent arrival, Benny realized time was short. “They’re here. Please instruct your bodyguards to release me, allowing me to avoid them for now.”
Edmund’s face softened a bit. He glanced at Benny, mulling over his words. Eventually, he nodded, signaling to the bodyguard to release him.
“Head over to the next room first,” he instructed.
Benny, grateful, left without another word.
After a bit, Stella and Matthew stumbled upon Flossie’s room. Opening the door, they were met with a middle-aged man clad in black, reminiscent of someone from the underworld.
