He was going to protect her no matter what.
Fernando had heard about what happened yesterday.
“I’ll assign someone to watch him. But before I leave, there’s one more thing you need to know.”

He paused, taking in Matthew’s reaction before continuing slowly, “Jeremy is planning on doing something to the land near your mother’s home. He’s going to ask for your grandfather’s support soon.”
Matthew’s face darkened. Jeremy’s motive was very clear this time around; he was simply trying to provoke him.

Jeremy leaned against the cabinet with a lazy grin plastered across his face. He had one hand in his pocket as he watched her in amusement .
Stella immediately became cautious.
She grabbed her cup and took a few steps back, maintaining a good distance between them.
“What do you want?”
Jeremy watched her closely as his smile faded slowly.
He took a step forward. He had this intimidating aura that made people fear him.
