Stella shook her head, attempting to dispel these emotions.
At that moment, a car horn blared, and a sleek luxury vehicle pulled up in front of them.
Stella, still in a state of fright, instinctively took a step back.
The car’s door swung open, and Stella felt relief wash over her as she recognized Fernando.
Fernando stepped out of the car and approached Matthew.
“Mr. Clark, I’m here to pick you up.”
Matthew nodded, and both he and Stella got into the car.
Inside the car, Matthew handed Stella a bottle of water.
She accepted it and softly expressed her gratitude. She took several sips to calm her panic and unease.
Once she had fully composed herself, Stella suddenly remembered something Matthew had mentioned before the incident.
She asked, “Mr. Clark, did you have something to discuss with me earlier?”
Surveying her puzzled expression, Matthew took a moment to contemplate before responding, “Nothing. I intended to talk about work, but for now, it’s best if you head back and get some rest. We can discuss it at the office.”
Hearing this, Stella nodded and didn’t press for more details.

Initially, he had planned to confide in Stella that his birthday wish was to take her home.

However, given the ongoing opposition they faced, Matthew realized that revealing his identity prematurely could jeopardize Stella’s safety.
A furrow appeared on Matthew’s brow, and a resolute look flashed in his eyes.
After dropping Stella off at her home and watching her close the front door, Matthew instructed Fernando to drive away.
The car was stationed at the entrance of his estate, where Neville was already awaiting his arrival.
Upon hearing about the grave car accident, Neville had immediately rushed over.
As Matthew alighted from the car, Neville quickly approached him, asking anxiously, “Why did this occur right after you left? Were you and Stella injured?”
Matthew shook his head.
“Have you identified the culprit?” Neville inquired with a worried Look.
Matthew’s expression darkened as he responded in a low voice, “Not yet.”
