Renae's words... seemed to have an underlying meaning to them. Matthew gazed at Renae's tear-streaked face along her pained and wistful expression, as if she was his wronged and aggrieved wife. Then, Matthew patted on the seat next to him and said, "Hop on if you don't mind the dirty seats."

As soon as Renae heard his invitation, she responded in a crisp and clear voice. Then, she held onto Matthew's hand as she got into the motorized tricycle's driver seat.

She had to sit with Matthew since the motorized tricycle was designed as a double-seater single-row seat. They stuck close together because there wasn't much space, and Renae clung onto Matthew's arm. Matthew felt his arms being surrounded by Renae's soft and gentle chest. The softness somehow made his heart tremble a little.

His heart began to pump rapidly as he said, "Hold on tight. We're going now."

Renae responded with a soft sigh and the motorized tricycle began its journey by heading out the gate.

Dominic wore a weirded-out expression as he watched Matthew leave with the motorized tricycle. Beside him, Lucien said, "Mr. Larkin, are we really protecting a man who drives a motorized tricycle?"

Even if they were to randomly pick a person from their group, any one of them could easily pull out a car worth 500 thousand dollars and above. The motorized tricycle wasn't worth even one of their car tires. Leo laughed as he looked at the motorized tricycle that had just reached the gate. "I've looked into Matthew's background. He's just a peasant from Silverbrook Village.

"All of us here are at least a Captain, but we're merely protecting a peasant? It feels as if we're using a golden cage to rear a dung beetle. He's not worth it!"

Dominic nodded in agreement. "That's right. He isn't worthy. But we're here to finish our mission. Once we've completed it, we'll be able to advance two rankings. Just ignore Matthew."

After he finished speaking, Dominic waved his hand, and the ten or so men left the junkyard to board their vehicles. They were going to follow after the motorized tricycle.

The motorized tricycle's engine was really powerful, which was why it began to shake the whole vehicle. Even Matthew's arm was shaking within Ranae's embrace. They had driven more than ten meters, and Renae's cheeks began to burn up slightly.

However, Matthew didn't notice anything unusual and asked while he drove, "What are your plans from now on?"

Renae bit her lips when she heard his question, but she smiled and said, "Obviously, I'm going to follow you."

Matthew cleared his throat. Truth to

be told, he thought Renae was... pretty gorgeous. She had a unique charm to women of her age that made men want to get closer to her, and Matthew admitted to his impure thoughts.

But all of a sudden, he thought back to Rachel. He felt that he had yet to clear things up with her, so he didn't dare to make a move on Renae yet.

When Renae saw that Matthewnoveldrama

wasn't speaking, she let out a disappointed expression. Following

the smiled coyly and said, "I'm

joking, so don't worry."

Matthew shook his head. "I'm not. I just think that I shouldn't get too hasty, or it'll just mean that I'm being irresponsible toward you."

Renae then gave him a side eye and pouted playfully. "I'm not a young lady anymore, so you don't have to be responsible for me.

"I want to... thank you for helping me with my revenge even if your life was at risk. But there's not much that I can do as a widow to thank you. "So, what do you think of me?"

Matthew gulped as his Adam's apple rolled up and down.

The last phrase she said seemed to have lit up a dry match that spread into wild flames and burned from within him. He then stretched his hand over and pinched her waist before he continued driving.

As the motorized tricycle moved forward, the sky just seemed to have gotten hotter and hotter.

Renae could feel her mouth going extremely dry, and Matthew just so happened to see her purse her lips together. So, he asked, "Are you thirsty?"

But Renae seemed to have thought of something else and said, "Yeah, I am."

Just then, Matthew spotted the building upfront. "We're almost there, so let's get some drinks when we arrive."

His reply somewhat disappointed Renae. She never thought that Matthew was talking about getting her a drink literally. She thought that he...

The Opulent Club's entrance was lined up with sports cars parked in place, and it made Matthew's motorized tricycle stand out like a sore thumb.
