GoodReadChapter 1997
The following day, despite ongoing efforts, the search and rescue team remained empty-handed.
Honoring his promise to Kristian, Matthew instructed them to depart.
Upon hearing the news, Lindsay secretly rejoiced.
To confirm, she discreetly consulted Fernando.
“Any updates on Stella? Why did the rescue team leave?”
“No,” Fernando replied curtly.
However, Lindsay remained unfazed.
She believed Matthew must be desperate, hence his decision to recall the rescue team.

After days of holding back, Lindsay couldn't restrain herself any longer.
She fabricated an excuse to take leave and headed to Prosper Bay to visit Matthew.
At Prosper Bay, Erin greeted Lindsay at the door upon her arrival.
As Erin went upstairs to inform Matthew of Lindsay's presence, she settled into the living room, already viewing
it through the eyes of Matthew's wife.
She hadn’t paid much attention to the decor before, but now she noticed that the living room’s style seemed
more feminine than what Matthew had preferred in the past.
She ran her hand over the sofa, thinking, this color must have been Stella's favorite.
Her gaze drifted to the pair of cups on the coffe
e table, a hint of resentment flickering in her eyes.
Once she moved into this house, Lindsay would meticulously remove all traces of Stella and replace them with
her preferences.
Recalling how Miley had reprimanded her over a lipstick incident, Lindsay's eyes hardened with resolve.
From now on, she could leave her lipstick wherever she pleased.
Lost in her thoughts, Lindsay was startled when Matthew descended the stairs and coolly asked, “What are you
doing here?”
Collecting herself, Lindsay stood and picked up the food box she had brought.
“Matthew, are you alright? I've been worried about you lately.
Even with Stella gone, you need to take care of yourself.
You still have your grandparents, after all.
Matthew remained silent and sat down on the sofa.
Lindsay quickly opened the food container, ladled ssoup into a bowl, and said, “You haven't been to the

Everyone's worried about you.
Since | had sfree time, | made soup.
Give it a try.
She handed the bowl to Matthew, hoping he would accept it.
Instead of taking the soup, Matthew glanced at Erin and requested, “Please bringa glass of water.
Turning back to Lindsay with a cold stare, he added, “If it’s work- related, go see Fernando.
This isn’t the place for you.
His tone was dismissive, prompting Lindsay to pause briefly, feeling embarrassed.
Erin silently fetched the water and left without acknowledging Lindsay or offering her anything.
Witnessing Erin’s indifference only fueled Lindsay's anger.
