Chapter 363
Rachel felt a pang in her heart upon seeing the familiar figure.
Matthew was the first man in her life, and she had thought they would be together forever. She hadn't expected them to be so close the day before, but strangers the next day.
To protect Matthew and the Carter family, she had to steel her heart and resolve.
She took a deep breath to stabilize her emotions, then resumed her cold demeanor and approached him. "Matthew, why are you here?"
Matthew hadn't noticed it earlier, but when Rachel spoke, there was a slight tremor in her voice. It seemed that her emotions were in turmoil.
He felt that Rachel was acting against her own will, so he looked at her and said seriously, "Rachel, is Isaac threatening you? I'm a man; I can handle certain things. You don't need to shoulder the burden."
Hearing Matthew say this only made Rachel even more determined to distance him from this matter.
But her words the day before seemed to have been too soft. She had to be more ruthless and say something harsher to make Matthew give up completely.
She quickly thought it through. Just saying harsh words wasn't enough; it had to be believable.
Soon, she knew what to say.
"Matthew, I'm not an idiot. If something was wrong, I'd definitely tell you and let you, as a man, take the lead. But things aren't what you think. The truth is, you're not worthy of me.
"The Carter family is a billion-dollar empire, and I'm so beautiful. If I'm going to find a husband, it has to be someone richer. Your little bit of money isn't even a tenth of the Carter family's wealth. Do you think we're a good match? If my family has a problem, can you solve
it?
"I need to find a man from a wealthier family and a stronger background to develop my company into the most powerful enterprise. What's your background? A divorcee with a criminal record?"
Matthew's face turned frosty. He could sense that Rachel was being very rational, and her words made logical sense.
His last shred of hope was shattered. He was disappointed in the woman standing before him.
"Rachel, since that's what you decided, then let's break up. I hope you don't regret it!"noveldrama
He then opened the car door in preparation to leave, but then remembered that this was Rachel's car. He closed the door again and
said
This car is yours. I'm returning
it to you!"
A car parked nearby opened its door, and Sara stepped out with a strange expression on her face.
She opened the car door. "Mr. Grant, please get in the car."
Matthew nodded and got into the back seat. "To Gembrooke Building."
Sara closed the door, glanced meaningfully at Rachel, then drove away.
As Rachel watched the car leave, she staggered and quickly grabbed on to Tracy for support. "Tracy, I'm doing this for his own good. But I feel terrible."
Tracy's expression was complicated. "If Isaac's family really has high-ranking military connections, that would be terrifying.
"Once, a family of martial artists
thought they were invincible and provoked a military big shot. I heard the entire family was wiped out by guns. What you're doing is best for both the Carters and the Grants, but it's hard on you."
Rachel sighed. "People used to say that beautiful women have hard lives. I always thought that I was beautiful but would never suffer. I never imagined..."
In the distance, a motorcade approached and stopped in front of Wealthwave Group's entrance.
The car door opened, and Isaac stepped out. His head was wrapped in bandages, looking seriously injured.
When Rachel saw Isaac, her expression turned even colder.
Isaac walked up to her with a greedy look on his face, then reached out to touch her face.
Rachel took a step back. "Isaac, what are you doing? We agreed on three years. During these three years, I won't have any contact with you."
Isaac sneered. "You've already surrendered, and you're still trying to make demands? Do you not understand the situation you're in?"
Rachel gritted her teeth. "If you don't keep your promise, go ahead and kill the Carters and the Grants. I'll die with them."
