The Great Medical Saint (Matthew)

Rachel stopped in her tracks and frowned. "What else do we need to talk about?"

Jeffrey decided to be upfront. "I'll be straight with you. Your parents want me to marry you, and I said yes."

Rachel had already seen this coming, so she replied, "They gave you the wrong idea, and I'm sorry about that. But I already have a boyfriend."

Jeffrey was taken aback. "Are you really going to marry a chauffeur? He barely earns enough in a month to feed even one of my dogs. He's not in your league at all. Conversely, the two of us are the perfect match." Rachel suddenly thought of Matthew's earlier comments and smirked. "If he can't make money, I'll provide for him."

Upon hearing those words, Matthew's impassive expression broke into a smile.

He was joking earlier, but Rachel took his words seriously. After thinking about it, he realized it felt great to be pampered by a woman like her. After all, she was rich, pretty, and had a good figure. Jeffrey's face fell. Rachel would rather lose money than be with him.

Furious, Jeffrey stomped his feet. "What's so great about Matthew? He's poor and pathetic. What makes him better than me? Why him?"

Rachel thought about how Matthew was willing to sacrifice himself by going to jail for his ex-wife. Meanwhile, Jeffrey was getting angry from just being turned down.

After making the comparison, Rachel realized Jeffrey was nowhere near Matthew's level when it came to being a respectable man.

Thinking of this, Rachel said with conviction, "Matthew is more responsible." She then held Matthew's hand and left immediately after.

Jeffrey found the reason she'd given him to be absurd. Responsible? How was that even a proper quality?

Seeing Matthew and Rachel leave, Jeffrey smashed a cup on the floor in a fit of rage.

Sitting to the side, Hailey stayed quiet and watched the events unfold.

After everything was over, she said, "I didn't want her to be part of this deal in the first place. It's better without her. We're doing this for profit, not for you to chase after girls." Jeffrey was still upset. "She likes a guy who's so broke that his sense of responsibility is all he got. Is she out of her mind?"

Hailey shook her head. "I have no idea, but she has definitely lost her mind for refusing this project.

"Anyone investing in traditional medicine will end up broke. After Rachel loses her funds, she will drag the Carter family down with her. You know what to do, right?"

Jeffrey's expression darkened. He

had set his eyes on the Carter family's wealth, already regarding them as part of his assets. Watching the Carter family lose their fortune

hurt him more than anything

QUMS

But since Hailey had spoken her mind, he couldn't stay quiet any longer. "I'll start by putting some pressure on Rachel. I hope she'll come to her senses then." After Hailey stormed out, Jeffrey was the only person left in the room. He poured himself a drink and gulped it down.

Seething with anger, Jeffrey stood up with determination. "I'll kill you, Matthew. Then all my problems will disappear."

Meanwhile, Hailey exited Opulent Club and got into a car. She pulled out her phone and made a call. "The Carter family is investing in traditional medicine."

The voice of an old man came

through the phone. "Yet another

ignorant fool. Tuschen's market is

tied to the interests of many influential people worldwide. The

Carter family is digging their graves by going against them.

"This also means that we failed to set a clear example beforehand. This time, we need to be more brutal to send a clear warning."

...

Matthew drove slowly on the road.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Rachel glanced at Matthew from time to time. Eventually, she couldn't help but ask, "Are you seriously going to sell the formula to me?"

Matthew smiled and said, "You're my wife, so it's basically yours now."

Rachel blushed. "Stop saying that. There's nothing between us."

Matthew furrowed his brows. "Earlier, you said you're going to provide for me, Rachel. How can you toss me aside after using me?"

Her forehead creased in confusion. Something seemed off about what Matthew had just said.
