Matthew’s expression turned grim.
He had always been cautious about his relationship with Stella to protect her.

She shot the blond man a piercing glare, but he seemed unfazed.

“How much are you asking for?” Matthew inquired bluntly.
“Will a hundred million suffice?”
The caller’s eyes sparkled with avarice. He nodded energetically.
“Prepare the funds and contact me again.”
Before disconnecting, Matthew added chillingly, “She better be unharmed, or you won’t see a dime.”
“I understand,” the caller replied dismissively.
After hanging up, he smirked disdainfully.
