“No,” Clint declined.
“I plan to return to Bysea. Your cousin is wrapping up his world tour and will come stay with me.”
Stella knew better than to argue with her grandfather’s stubbornness.
There would be plenty of time to discuss this before he left the hospital.
Later that evening, Matthew and Fernando arrived at Fairwa Hotel.
As Matthew stepped out of the car, a man hurriedly approached him.
“Mr. Clark.”
Matthew frowned, recognizing the man as Alex Avila, the head of the recently terminated construction team.
With an air of detachment, Matthew moved to walk past him.
Alex was taken aback but quickly repositioned himself in front of Matthew, pleading, “Mr. Clark, it was an unfortunate incident. Please grant me another opportunity; I assure you there won’t be any further mistakes.”

Matthew fixed his gaze on Alex, ice-cold.
“You’ll be held accountable for this mishap by Prosperity Group. There will be no forgiveness.”
Alex’s face contorted in a mix of emotions.
By the time he collected himself, Matthew had already moved on, heading into the hotel.
Seized by a sudden impulse, Alex shouted after him, “You’ll regret this, Matthew Clark! Sooner or later, you’ll be the one begging for a chance!”
Ignoring Alex’s frustrated remarks, Matthew felt anxious about Stella and wanted to reach out to her immediately.
Stationed outside the elevator, he swiveled his head towards Fernando and commanded, “My phone’s dead. Hand me yours.”
Without hesitation, Fernando relinquished his phone.

Just as Matthew was about to dial, a voice hailed him.
“Mr. Clark.”
Several attendees from the dinner approached, coinciding with the elevator’s arrival.
“The elevator’s here. We can continue our discussion in the private room,” Fernando interjected.
Remembering Alex’s earlier haughtiness, Fernando felt it prudent to exercise discretion, wary of potential eavesdroppers.
Boarding the elevator, the crowd exchanged courteous greetings with Matthew.
