“I heard Mr. Robins say that Matthew transferred the money to the bank,” Tessa said.

Jennifer, initially shocked, suddenly looked joyful. “Tessa, it’s only been a few days since the divorce,” she exclaimed.

“There’s no way he could have earned ten billion dollars in such a short time. It must be the money he earned before. If it is, then wouldn’t five billion dollars of the ten be yours?”

Tessa was taken aback, then slapped her thigh in realization. The five billion dollars certainly should have been hers.

“I need to gather evidence that proves he earned this money while we were married,” she remarked. “After all, lawsuits hinge on evidence.”

Jennifer said indifferently, “Why bother with evidence? You just have to create a scene and make a fuss. Didn’t you say he got a job? You just have to go to his workplace and cause trouble.”

Tessa’s eyes lit up at the suggestion. Indeed, if Matthew wanted to marry Rachel, he would definitely want to maintain his pristine image.

She refused to believe that Matthew wouldn’t compromise if she caused trouble at his company a few times.

Matthew took the elevator up to the office at Wealthwave Group the next day. He was stunned as soon as he entered

the office.

Today, Rachel wore a red silk shirt with the hem tucked into her waist–cinching pants. Her figure complemented the fabric beautifully. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Her cold and glamorous demeanor against the red shirt made her look extremely stunning.

After three years of quiet, Matthew’s heart suddenly starred racing.

Rachel looked up and saw Matthew in a daze. She asked, “What’s wrong?”

Matthew suddenly came to his senses and noticed a spider on Rachel’s collar. He said softly, “Don’t move, there’s a spider on you.

Rachel was frightened, causing her entire body to freeze.

She maintained her straight posture, too afraid to move. She called out, “Hurry up!”

Matthew slowly reached out his hand. As he got closer, he caught a faint fragrance that made him lose focus.

He stiffened, but quickly regained composure and reached out to grab the spider. But unexpectedly, it crawled beneath

her collar.

Matthew’s hand hovered near her collar, his gaze fixed on her smooth sldn.

He wasn’t sure what to do next. He asked, “A spider crawled under your collar. What should I do?”

Rachel was so anxious she was about to cry. “Hurry up, get it out. I’m scared.”

With her permission, Matthew held her collar open with his left hand and looked into her shirt.

With just one glance, the view he saw left him breathless.

Rachel’s face was full of panic. “Did you find it? Hurry up and get it out!”

Matthew calmed himself and spotted the spider on the inside of her clothes. Slowly, he reached his hand in.

At that moment, Tracy walked in. She saw Rachel’s panicked expression, and Matthew was shamelessly reaching his hand into her shirt.

She was so angry that she shouted, “Matthew Grant, what are you doing in broad daylight?”

Matthew grabbed the spider when he heard Tracy’s voice, realizing she had misunderstood the situation.

He pulled his hand out of her shirt and explained, “There was a spider on Rachel’s clothes. I was helping her get rid of it.“!

Tracy angrily pointed at Matthew. “Nonsense, this is an office building–spotlessly clean. Where could a spider have come from?” she questioned. “I think you’re being audacious!”

Matthew opened his clenched hand. “Look. Isn’t this a spider?”

However, when Matthew looked down, he was shocked to see that there was nothing there! Taking control of the situation, Tracy pressed further, “Do you have anything else to say?” Conversely, Rachel became furious with embarrassment. “Matthew, you’re unbelievable!”
