Matthew smiled. "I can still manage that amount of money."

Back then, Matthew acquired ten billion dollars from Eastorians when he saved Silas. It was the Eastorians' money for operations.

Rachel was taken aback at first. Then, it hit her that Matthew had ten billion dollars.

For some reason, Rachel was used to seeing Matthew as someone poor, mainly because he wore regular clothes and worked as a chauffeur. Since Matthew was interested in the research of telomere, it might offer great potential. "How much money are you planning to invest?"

Matthew mulled it over and replied, "Let's put in ten billion dollars."

Rachel was blown away. Ten billion dollars was a huge amount. Even though Rachel was the president of Wealthwave Group, her available funds were just around one billion dollars.

She might not have the funds available to actually invest ten billion dollars.

Only then did Rachel realize Matthew was richer than she thought. She was used to being the woman in charge, so she had a hard time when the dynamic changed.

After a long moment of silence, Rachel stated, "Even if you have the money, you can't invest in this. Such an investment is a money pit. No matter how much money you pour into it, you won't get anything back."

This time, Rachel's tone was solemn as if she was speaking to her staff as a president. Frowning, Matthew gradually brought the car to a stop and turned around to gaze at Rachel.

Rachel looked a bit fed up and serious. A hint of frustration flickered in her eyes. She then felt uncomfortable with Matthew's stare. "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me?"

With a solemn face, Matthew stated, "Do you remember the health issues I told you about before? If you want to get better, you need to be intimate with a man."

Rachel immediately blushed. "Are you making a move on me again, you pervert?"

Matthew smacked his lips. "I'm not trying to get with you. Let me see. It's been two weeks since our last time together in the valley.

"I don't see a smile on your face, and you seemed irritated. The benefits from our last time together have wordoff, so it's time for another go."

What a jerk! Rachel was livid, clenching her teeth. Matthew actually made it sound like he was right. She couldn't believe how shameless he could be, making up ridiculous reasons just to hit on her.

"We're adults, Matthew. Can you drop the childish tricks?"

Matthew smirked. "There's no trickery involved. This is the truth. I'm doing it for your own good. Why won't you trust me?" Rachel shook her head. "Your excuses are absurd. How am I supposed to believe you? Unless you can prove it." Matthew seemed excited. "Actually, I can prove it."

As Matthew spoke, he reclined the seat and crawled to the back.

Rachel immediately tensed up and crossed her arms over her chest. "What are you up to?"

Matthew chuckled and replied, "I'm proving it to you. Feeling it yourself is way more convincing than anything I can say." Rachel hugged her arms with a hint of fear in her eyes. "Don't come any closer. I'll scream if you do."

Scream? Matthew fixed his gaze on Rachel's curvy figure, admiring her voluptuous chest, graceful neck, and seductive lips.

He found himself speaking rapidly. "When you got on top of me last time, I told you no and that I'd scream, but you didn't listen.

"You moved on top of me and

started doing whatever you wanted. I thought it'd only last half an hour, but it fasted the whole night. Now, it's my turn to get back at you. Screaming won't help." noveldrama
