A red sports car's door was opened, and Rachel exited the car. She had an appointment with a business partner to discuss their work. When she heard the loud engine from behind, she whipped her head in its direction. With just a glance, her eyes were locked on the scene. So, it was Matthew who came riding a motorized tricycle. He even had a gorgeous woman with a hot figure clinging to his arm next to him.
They appeared extremely close, and it sent a knife deep into Rachel's heart. That silent pain stripped her of all her energy and made her go weak. It felt as if the world had collapsed as well.
That was her man-her first one, and her only one. He was the one who had willingly gone to prison for her, but now that they'd just divorced, he was already hooking up with another woman. How disappointing... Not only was she disappointed at Matthew, but at every other man out there as well.
Matthew was driving the motorized tricycle, but he suddenly noticed a familiar figure and stepped on his brakes.
Since Matthew had braked so suddenly, Renae instinctively hugged him tighter to prevent herself from falling.
As soon as she saw the woman who had an icy, yet charming, face in front, Renae felt a deep-rooted sense of rivalry and instinctively clutched onto Matthew's arm with even more force.
Rachel seemed to have snapped out of her trance as she took a deep breath and pretended not to be fazed.
Then, she walked up to them and pretended to greet Matthew casually, "It's just been a few days since we last saw each other, so how did you end up driving a motorized tricycle?" Initially, Matthew wanted to free his hand from Renae's clutch, but she was hugging it tightly, so he couldn't free his arm no matter how much he tried.
As such, he cleared his throat and said, "I brought some medical literature."
Once Rachel heard the words "medical literature", she nodded. Then, she pretended to be calm and looked at Renae.
Seeing how full Renae's breasts were, Rachel subconsciously puffed out her chest. But when she realized what she had done, she found herself to be childish and ridiculous. Seriously... All for a jerk.
It was degrading for her to be comparing herself to other women, but she was filled with mixed emotions when she thought of the past.
Rachel was ambitious and
determined to make a big impact
She had planned to spend the next three years breaking free from the Wood family and rekindling with Matthew afterward.
During this period, she had gone to great lengths to please Isaac so that they would mercifully let Matthew off the hook.
Yet, Matthew was now cozying up to other women. With all of these in mind, Rachel's blood began to boil, and she yelled sharply, "Matthew, please have some decency! "It's only been a few days since we broke up, and here you are with other women. Jerk! Pervert!"
After she finished cursing him out with the last two words, Rachel couldn't think of any other insults. There were just some words she couldn't bring herself to curse aloud as well.

Slowly, Matthew's awkward expression faded, and a smile surfaced on his lips.
To make things worse, Matthew's smile seemed to have just grown wider and wider. It didn't look as if he got insulted. Instead, he looked as if someone had praised him.
Rachel had never cursed someone
out, so she became tongue-tied after having thrown out two insults. When she saw that Matthew was smiling, she got so mad she started to spew out her insults again.
"Shameless! Jerk! Pervert!"
This time, she had added a new insult-"shameless".
After she finished insulting him, Matthew seemed to have gotten even more delighted, and this shamelessness of his only made Rachel even angrier.noveldrama
She was so frustrated that her body began to tremble, but she was helpless against him, so she turned on her heels in a fit of anger and stomped off to the Opulent Club.
When Renae saw Matthew smiling at Rachel's departing figure, she held onto his arm and shook him. He was still smiling after Rachel was nowhere in sight.
"Stop smiling! I think she really hates you! Aren't you angry?" Renae asked.
Upon hearing that, Matthew's smile turned even brighter. "I know that she hates me. That's why I'm happy."
Did that even make sense? Renae was confused upon hearing that and asked, "Could you explain why?"
