I don't think Stefano is trying to help Chad at all. He has an ulterior motive.
All of a sudden, Florida Law wants info on Kevin Reynolds aka Ben Rogers? And calls Club TBD? Ex-employee? Ben works at Victor's club now.
I am only guessing.....but said this elsewhere.....Clyde is the target. Victor helped Stefano get to be CEO again......(which was amazing since he no longer had a seat on the board.....but then, Salem's corporations definitely are run differently than corporations in other cities, lol) And Stefano "owes" Vic. And being Stefano, he knows all about Clyde, courtesy of Kate's involvement; And he knows how Clyde took over the drug trade in Salem, along with Victor's legitimate trucking clients. Ahhh, Stefano behind the scenes. LOL
