When Love Comes Late
Chapter 1239

Throughout the drive, Stella was consumed by unease and guilt.

Her head remained bowed in silent introspection.

Stella reflected on her last conversation with Besty, where she had conveyed Prosperity Group’s decision not to hire Felipe.

Although Stella believed she had been gentle in her approach, the news had distressed Besty.

Observing Stella’s troubled state, Matthew pulled the car over at an intersection.

He reached for Stella’s hand, holding it reassuringly.

“It’s not your fault.

You did what you could to help her within your means.

”

Stella turned to look at Matthew, her eyes filled with emotions, but she remained silent.

Meanwhile, the situation had escalated in Besty’s home.

Felipe Besty pinned against the sofa.

Her face showed redness and swelling from his aggressive handling, yet she maintained a defiant glare at him.

“Why didn’t you fix things for me? Why did you call Stella to ask for help?” Felipe’s grip tightened around Besty’s neck as_ he interrogated her angrily.

“You don’t want me to have a job, do you?”

“I… I didn’t do anything.

.

Besty, struggling for breath, tried to defend herself.

“You’re lying!” Felipe accused, his rage fueled by the belief that Besty had sabotaged his chances.

“If I don’t get a decent job, you might as well not Live.

”

“Please, believe me, I didn’t say anything to her,” Besty pleaded.

But Felipe wasn’t ready to listen.

Her attempts to reason with him were futile.

“You’re out of a job for the time being only.

” Besty took a deep breath and tried to calm Felipe down.

“Even if you can’t join Prosperity Group, there are other opportunities, better ones.

Don’t worry.

I’ll help you replace something else.

”

Her words only seemed to infuriate Felipe further.

He slapped her in the face with full force.

“It’s all your fault! You did this on purpose!” Felipe shouted, his grip on her neck intensifying.

Besty’s eyes began to roll back in her head, and her breathing became labored.

Just then, her fading consciousness was jolted back to life by the sound of the doorbell and a forceful pounding at the door.

Startled by the sudden commotion, Felipe’s grip on Besty’s neck loosened immediately.

Gasping desperately for air, Besty mustered all her strength to push Felipe away.

Despite the searing pain and oxygen deprivation in her brain, she managed to crawl off the sofa and stagger towards the door.

She managed to unlock and open the door with trembling hands.

As soon as she saw Stella on the other side, she sighed in relief, collapsed into Stella’s arms, and started crying.

While Stella tenderly embraced and consoled Besty, she noticed Felipe advancing towards them, anger still evident on his face.

Stella stood protectively in front of Besty as she confronted Felipe.

“What do you think you’re doing? How could you treat her Like this?”

“This is our family matter.

Get out of my way!” Felipe spat out, reaching to shove Stella away.
