The Great Medical Saint (Matthew)

Chapter 13

Matthew turned livid at Tessa's words. When he saw Rachel's car pull over, he turned to confront Tessa. He snapped, "Rachel is here. What are you going to do now?" "You..." Tessa was stunned by Matthew's audacious response. How could a man with his history not fear being exposed?

Confusion clouded Tessa's thoughts. Knowing Rachel was Matthew's girlfriend was one thing, but seeing it in person was another.

To Tessa, Matthew was an ex-convict and a man she had left behind for being worthless. He had no money, job, power, or influence.

Yet somehow, he had managed to date a beautiful and powerful president like Rachel. Tessa couldn't accept it.

Seeing Tessa's silence, Matthew snorted and got into the passenger seat of Rachel's car.

After noticing the unusual tension, Rachel asked, "What's your relationship with that woman?"

Matthew was honest. "She's my ex-wife," he said, leaving it at that.

Tessa snapped out of her daze and remembered her purpose. She rushed to the car and tapped on the window. "Ms. Carter, I need to talk to you."

Rachel hesitated but still rolled down the window. "What is it?"

Tessa pointed at Matthew. "Ms. Carter, you might have been deceived by him!"

Rachel's demeanor turned cold. "Deceived? Do you think I'm that easily fooled?"

Tessa's facade cracked. She had come to expose Matthew and curry favor with Rachel.

Sensing Rachel's irritation, she quickly explained, "That's not what I meant. What I'm saying is that Matthew has been lying to you. Do you know what our relationship is?"

Rachel shook her head. "I don't, and frankly, I don't care."

Matthew observed their exchange silently. So far, Rachel's words had positioned her above Tessa, and she seemed to be defending him.
