Chapter 6

Wait a minute. Did Albert just say he had come to pick up Matthew?

Tessa was in utter disbelief. There were more than a dozen luxury cars present, and the first car alone was worth over ten million dollars.

She had never ridden in such a luxurious car before. Yet, Matthew, a mere ex-convict and a man she had recently dumped, was being picked up in such a luxurious car!

Just what had he done to deserve such special treatment?

It had to be a mistake!

From the comfort of the car, she gestured toward Matthew on the roadside and said to Albert, "Are you sure about that? Take a good look at him. He's dressed like that and even has to hail a cab to get around. How could you possibly be here to pick him up? There must be a mistake! You must be here for me!"

Albert furrowed his brow at Tessa's rambling. After all, he had indeed been sent here to pick up a man. And he certainly wasn't there to pick up this woman.

Glancing at Matthew, Albert approached him and asked politely, "Excuse me, sir. Are you perhaps Mr. Matthew Grant?"

With a dubious look, Matthew nodded and said, "Yes, I'm Matthew Grant."

Albert was delighted that he had finally found the right person. "Good day, Mr. Grant. I'm here to pick you up."

Pick him up?

A wave of confusion washed over Matthew. After all, only Lillian and Stanley knew about his divorce, and he hadn't told anyone else about it.

But now, a motorcade of luxury cars had unexpectedly pulled up, claiming to be there to pick him up.

Caught off guard by the sudden turn of events, he asked, "Who asked you to pick me up?"

Albert explained with a smile, "We're here on behalf of Mr. Carter."

Mr. Carter? After some thought, Matthew remembered that the only "Mr. Carter" he knew was Fred.

At that moment, it dawned on him that Fred must have sought him for his medical expertise and tracked down his whereabouts.

A sense of displeasure washed over him at this thought. After all, he disliked people prying into his private life.

He felt compelled to issue a warning to Fred as soon as he met him, so he said, "Alright, take me to Mr. Carter then. And make it quick; I've got other commitments today."

After Albert hummed in agreement and was about to invite Matthew into the car, he suddenly recalled that Tessa was inside.

He hurriedly shooed her away. "Why are you still in the car? Get out now, or I'll have to drag you out myself!"
