Chapter 636:
Lauren departed Beverley’s residence only to discover Matthew’s absence from their group.
She dialed him immediately. “Where have you disappeared to? Our daughter endures such trauma, and you abandon her without comfort. Where have you slithered off to p>
Matthew’s voice carried deadly calm through the phone. “I remain at the station p>
Lauren’s eyes blazed with infinite resentment. “What possible business keeps you there p>

His tone stayed emotionless as granite. “Rebecca created this disaster, and I’m cleaning up her wreckage p>
Lauren swallowed her rage, forcing sweetness into her voice. “Our attorney should handle such matters. You needn’t involve yourself directly p>
“I’ll return shortly p>
With that, Matthew severed the connection and approached Gabriela.
Due to the altercation’s severity, Gabriela and her company’s staff remained trapped, awaiting their lawyer’s arrival for bail proceedings.
Stewart whispered reassurance, “Don’t worry—I’ve already summoned our attorney p>
Gabriela responded with genuine warmth, “Thank you, Stewart p>
Matthew opened his mouth, preparing to offer his own legal assistance.
However, before words could form, Benedict materialized carrying a leather document case.
Gabriela recognized him instantly, surprise coloring her features. “Benedict? What brings you here p>
Benedict’s explanation radiated professional warmth. “Billy dispatched me. I’ve examined the situation comprehensively. Rest assured, I’ll fight to ensure the Haynes Group receives full compensation for damages p>
After absorbing Benedict’s promises, Gabriela hesitated before asking, “Benedict, regarding Mr. Moss p>
Benedict smiled with practiced ease. “Mr. Moss faces overwhelming demands and cannot visit personally. He instructed me to secure everyone’s release immediately p>
Benedict processed the bail payments, and the group emerged from the station’s confines.
Gabriela addressed her employees with warmth. “Don’t torment yourselves with worry. Return home and rest for several days. Once we resolve these complications, you’ll resume normal operations p>
After the staff scattered, Gabriela expressed gratitude to Benedict once more.
He waved his hand and hurried back to deliver his report.
Matthew lingered throughout the entire exchange.
Gabriela finally acknowledged his persistent presence.
Since Matthew had never created obstacles for her, Gabriela attempted measured civility. “Mr. Howard, you should return home. Rebecca and I will resolve our conflict through legal channels p>
Witnessing the hate flickering in her eyes, Matthew experienced a knife-twist of pain in his chest. “Gabriela, your injuries p>
“Your concern isn’t necessary, Mr. Howard. I’m leaving now p>
Gabriela pivoted and slipped into a waiting vehicle parked along the curb.
Stewart drove her home, his mood darkening throughout the journey.
Gabriela observed his dejected demeanor and attributed it to exhaustion. With heartfelt appreciation, she said, “Stewart, thank you for today’s support. The hour grows late—perhaps you should head home p>
“I accomplished nothing meaningful.” Stewart’s voice carried profound disappointment. “At least allow me to complete the task of delivering you safely p>
The Williams Group’s attorney arrived mere moments after Benedict’s departure.
Once again, Wesley had claimed the victory.
No matter what Stewart did, he could never impress Gabriela; Wesley always beat him to it.
A curse escaped Stewart’s lips as frustration surged inside him. He had known Gabriela before Wesley!
