When Love Comes Late -
Chapter 1332
Hamilton gritted his teeth, waving his hand dejectedly before dispersing the residents and guiding Matthew and Breck to the meeting room.
The meeting room, a makeshift space on the construction site, awaited them.
Ignoring the shabby surroundings, Matthew got straight to the point.
“Hamilton, I’ve entrusted you with a hefty project in North city.
You’ve made a good amount of money from it.
Why the Lingering greed?”
Hamilton, visibly frightened, bowed his head.
Matthew remained silent, waiting for his response.
Unable to withstand the eerie silence any longer, Hamilton whispered, “It’s Carl Olson.
”
With that breakthrough in the dialogue, the rest of his words flowed more easily.
“Mr.
Clark, I had no choice.
Carl’s the local villain.
I had no choice.
” Hamilton tried to justify himself.
“I didn’t want to, but they kept sending troublemakers to the construction site every couple of days.
The project couldn’t progress, so I had to do something.
”
Matthew nodded in understanding.
“Well, I’ll have to have a word with Carl.
”
Before Hamilton could process this, the door burst open, and Killian barged in.
Casting a fearful glance at Matthew, Killian whispered urgently to Hamilton, “Something’s happened to Carl.
Will he…”
Hamilton kicked him before he could say anything more.
“Why’d you kick me?” Killian protested, hurt.

“Why’d you kick me?” Killian protested, hurt.
Hamilton seethed with anger.
He’d just tried hard to distance himself from Carl in front of Matthew, and now Killian spilled the beans.
He regretted choosing Killian as his assistant more than ever.
Matthew stood up.
He was not in the mood to watch the play anymore.
He said bluntly, “Carl had an accident.
You can talk now.
Otherwise, you could be the next one in trouble.
”
Hamilton’s sweat poured down like a waterfall.
Believing Matthew had nabbed his two children, Hamilton clenched his jaw and muttered, “I’ll spill the beans.
”
Matthew remained unfazed by his decision.
He signaled Breck to pass over the prepared notebook to Hamilton, stating, “Jot down the name of every soul involved in this gig.
Don’t skip a beat, or else…”
Pausing for effect, he continued, “I’ve danced this dance before.
