Matthew had been so silent as if he wasn’t even present.
Now that he spoke out of the blue, everyone else was stunned.
Stella couldn’t believe her ears.
Why did he just say that? Was he concerned about her well-being?
The senior executives expressed regret while Stella was still trying to figure out the reason for Matthew’s objection.
“Oh, our bad, Stella. We didn’t realize that you are on medication.
Tell you what? Mr. Clark has a point. You should have some juice instead.” Giving no room for objection, the branch manager instructed a waiter to bring some juice.
Stella decided to stop thinking too much about the whole thing.
Although she had been in the game of solving crises for many years and celebration parties like this were pretty common, she still didn’t like drinking unless it was absolutely necessary.
Drinking too much would land people in trouble.
She cast a grateful glance at Matthew.
Late at night, the city skyline was visible from the presidential suite on the top floor of the hotel. The lights of each building shone like stars in the dark night sky.

“How is the investigation coming along?” His voice was cold.
“It has been discovered that the animal rights activists were put up to the protest by your aunt, Charlene. I trust you already know why, sir.”
The Clark family was one of the top families in Seamarsh.
The patriarch, Waldo Clark, had two sons and a daughter. When his eldest son was just twenty-three years old, he accidentally fell off a cliff and died.
Waldo’s second son was Matthew’s biological father. After he was put in control of the family’s business, he went wild. He slept with anything on a skirt, anywhere and everywhere. He was so reckless that he ended up getting killed by someone he should have never offended.
Due to that situation, Matthew, who was only an illegitimate son at the time, had to be brought into the Clark family as the heir.
Charlene had thought that it was her time to shine. Unfortunately, Matthew’s appearance put a spanner in her works.
A DNA test was conducted to prove that Matthew was really a Clark.
However, Charlene wasn’t having any of it. She intentionally made things difficult for him in the business world and even leaked that he was just an illegitimate child who had no right to inherit anything.
Things had been tense between the aunt and nephew from the very beginning.
Charlene hated his guts and felt even more threatened by him now that he was more powerful than she and her son, Jeremy.
