The driver promptly opened the rear door, and Matthew stepped out. He then gracefully opened the passenger door for Stella with a happy smile.
Stella emerged in a stunning pure white dress that highlighted her graceful figure and delicate neck, exuding allure and elegance.
She took hold of Matthew’s arm and boarded the cruise ship with him.
The light cast a glow on her face, enhancing her fair skin.
Happiness radiated from her bright eyes.
“Mr. and Mrs. Clark.”
People passing by greeted them one after another.
Matthew nodded slightly, and Stella responded with a smile. Suddenly, someone called out to her from behind.
“Stella.”
Hearing the familiar voice, Stella turned around.
She was greeted by the sight of Flossie in a form-fitting brown leather dress that showcased her figure.
As Matthew was engaged in conversation by another guest, Stella excused herself to approach Flossie.
Grasping Flossie’s hand, Stella’s eyes betrayed a hint of pity.
“You’ve lost quite a bit of weight. It must be exhausting caring for the patient. Perhaps you should consider hiring a caregiver.”
“Don’t worry. I can manage,” Flossie replied, a hint of embarrassment crossing her features.

Obviously, Stella didn’t believe her words. “But this isn’t sustainable. You need to focus on your career too. When do you plan to return to the company?”
“Soon,” Flossie assured, swiftly changing the subject. “How have things been between you and Mr. Clark lately?”
Stella blushed slightly. “We’re doing great. Despite recent challenges, our love for each other has only deepened.”

“That’s wonderful to hear,” Flossie responded, her smile tinged with effort. “You finally have a happy ending. I’m genuinely happy for you.”
Meanwhile, the cruise buzzed with laughter and chatter as Carl’s henchmen discreetly boarded, quickly locating their intended target.
Watching the party unfold through a monitor, Benny’s gaze fixated on Matthew. “We meet again.”
His eyes narrowed with determination, he issued a chilling command.
“Matthew is well-guarded. Focus on his wife. Take care of her first.”
Suddenly, the lights on the cruise grew dim. The host, dressed in a sleek black tailcoat, made his way to the stage and announced, “Ladies and gentlemen, good evening. We’re thrilled to have you at our cruise ball tonight. I hope you’re all feeling wonderful.”
