When Love Comes Late
Chapter 1079

Nell, overpowered, could only stand there as the bodyguard continued to strike her.

Her cries and curses gradually turned into mere sobs.

Her cheeks throbbed with pain and then went numb, her vision blurring.

Eventually, Fernando signaled the bodyguard to stop as Nell could barely endure any more.

Suddenly, his phone buzzed.

He grabbed it immediately, but his face fell upon reading the message.

Had she secured the money he needed, this desperate plan wouldn’t have been necessary.

Now, with his scheme unraveled and his financial hopes dashed, his anger intensified.

Wilbert, seething with anger, threw his phone down on the table with a loud thud.
