word from her would turn him into a beast
The man before her had a frightening temperament, as if a single wrong that would tear her apart.
Matthew’s image involuntarily flashed in her mind.
Ever since she left him, she felt like every man she met was a scumbag.
Randall Young, upon learning of Matthew’s unusual status, had abandoned Tessa in fear. Whenever she needed to borrow money, Randall was unreachable. He had no sense of responsibility.
The more she thought about it, the more she realized how good Matthew was. He would give her his earnings to spend. He cared for her, loved her, and spoiled her.
She now regretted it, but it was too late to go back.
Jeffrey saw Tessa’s hesitation to speak and said, “I know your company is facing financial issues. As long as you help me with something, I can place a few orders with you so your business has a chance to revive.”
Tessa nodded repeatedly. “Whatever you need me to do, I’ll do it.”
Jeffrey said coldly, “Invite Matthew to Rose Bar. Leave the rest to me.”
Tessa understood Jeffrey’s intention. He planned to deal with Matthew directly.
Thinking of how Matthew refused to help her despite being so wealthy, Tessa couldn’t help but feel a deep hatred toward him.
“Alright, I promise to invite him to Rose Bar. Mr. Smith, you’re a busy man, and it’s hard to meet you in person. Can I perhaps treat you to a meal?”
Jeffrey sensed a different meaning behind her words. His eyes wandered across Tessa’s body. He noted her good figure and attractive looks. She was quite charming indeed–but she paled in comparison to Rachel.
Instantly, he lost interest. “There’s nothing more to say. You can go now. Remember to do what I asked.”
Tessa’s face fell slightly, but she didn’t retort.
She hurriedly left and went to do as she was told.
Matthew had just arrived at Wealthwave Group when he received a call from an unknown number.
He answered, “Who is this?”
A familiar voice came from the other end. “Matthew, it’s me.”
Matthew frowned. “Don’t call me if there’s nothing important. Even if there is, don’t call me.”
He was about to hang up, but Tessa shouted, “Don’t hang up! I want to talk about Lorraine. I’m afraid she won’t talk to me if I visit her I wanted to talk to you about her future education.”
Matthew grew angrier upon hearing Lorraine’s name leave Tessa’s mouth. “When we divorced, you said you only wanted the company and didn’t want custody of her. Why are you suddenly interested in her now?”
. If you don’t, I’ll
Tessa felt somewhat embarrassed. “Let’s not talk about that. I’m still her mother, after all. Come over. I sue to change the custody arrangement.”
She knew Matthew’s weak spot. Using their daughter as leverage, she knew Matthew would have no choice but comply.
After a long silence, Matthew said coldly, “Fine. Where are you? I’ll go over now.”
A smirk appeared on Tessa’s face. “I’m not free now. Let’s meet at Rose Bar at 9:00 pm. Don’t be late.”
Matthew agreed and hung up.
The day went by quickly. After tucking Lorraine into bed, he headed to Rose Bar.
On Friendship Road in Lambda City, Matthew stood at the entrance of Rose Bar. The small establishment was in the basement of Trade Building.
Matthew seldom went to bars. He didn’t like the noise.
As soon as he stepped inside, he was greeted by loud music and couldn’t help but frown.
The bar was large, with men and women dancing wildly on the dance floor. The lead dancers wore revealing outfits and danced provocatively.
It was so noisy that it would be difficult to have a conversation.
Matthew didn’t understand why Tessa would choose to meet at a place like this.
He stood by the bar and looked around.
Suddenly, a beautiful woman approached him. “You must be Mr. Grant. Ms. Sanders is waiting for you in Room Six.”

He stopped in his tracks almost immediately.
Two people were sitting inside the room- Tessa and Jeffrey.
Beside them stood two beautiful women who were attending to Jeffrey.
