Benny paced back and forth in the study, feeling restless as he thought about his next move.
Edmund also got the news and called Benny. “I heard Matthew is about to wake up. What’s your plan now?”
Edmund’s voice was cold; Matthew’s recovery couldn’t have come at a worse time for them.

“Just remember, once Matthew wakes up, all our hard work will be for nothing.”
It was such a simple truth; Benny couldn’t ignore it.
He clenched his fists, eyes red with determination. “I won’t let him wake up. I’ll find someone to end him.”
Just then, the maid’s voice interrupted, “Miss Diaz, why are you out of your room?”
Benny hung up abruptly, rushed out, but Flossie wasn’t there.
His expression darkened. “Where’s Flossie?” he demanded of the maid.

The maid stood in the living room, clutching her apron with her head bowed. “I’m not sure. I just came out of the kitchen and saw Miss Diaz standing here. I thought she needed something.”
“Never mind. Carry on with your work,” Benny said coldly.
He turned and headed toward Flossie’s room.
Flossie lay on the bed, closing her eyes, but her lips trembled uncontrollably.
Benny touched Flossie’s head, making her tremble even more.
He looked down, his expression unreadable. “You heard me, didn’t you?”
Flossie stayed silent, too afraid to open her eyes. She wished it was all just a bad dream.
She wished she would wake up at Stella’s wedding, surrounded by blessings toward Stella.
But Benny’s cold voice brought her back to reality, reminding her it wasn’t a dream, but the truth.
Benny didn’t hide his intentions. “I promised to be honest with you. I really want to end Matthew. If he died at the wedding, I won’t have to do it again.”
He placed his hand on Flossie’s head, speaking gently. “Please understand. I have to avenge my mother and Evelyn. Matthew has to pay.”
Flossie opened her eyes finally. The room was dimly lit. She could see Benny’s face, but everything else was blurry.
Benny seemed like a stranger to her now, but she needed an answer.
“You want revenge for your mother and Evelyn, but what about me?”
Benny evaded the question, visibly irritated. He frowned and said, “I know you’re upset, but don’t make things complicated. I’m doing all this for our future. You’re Edmund’s daughter. If I don’t succeed, I won’t earn his respect.”
