Soon after, Rachel realized what was going on and snapped, "What nonsense are you spewing?"
Matthew was driving when he casually said, "Am I wrong? You promised to take care of me earlier in Opulent Club, but now you're tossing me aside. I even thought about providing you treatment tonight, but this is what I get in return."
Rachel clenched her teeth, her anger simmering. How could Matthew bring up her illness? He seemed less like a man who went to jail for his wife and more like a pervert.
"Are you giving me the formula or not?"
Matthew contemplated for a bit, then replied, "You can have it, but not for free. You can either pay for it or offer yourself to me."
He soon added, "On second thought, you're not worth it. I've already promised you the formula, but now I have to serve you too? I'm not a doormat. Therefore, you have to pay for it."
Hearing that, Rachel clenched her teeth. Matthew was too upfront with his words and was incredibly calculative.
There was no way Matthew was a responsible man. He truly seemed more like a pervert than anything else—and a stingy one at that.
Rachel reeled in her anger because the formula was important. She decided to talk it out. "Name me a price."
Matthew nonchalantly replied, "Ten million dollars. I didn't add any extra charges."
Rachel was still angry, but the price was fair. "Alright, I'll wire you the amount now."
After a screech, the car came to an abrupt halt.
Matthew pulled out his phone and showed Rachel an account number. "Send it to this account."
Matthew had slammed on the brakes too hard. Caught off guard, Rachel felt the seatbelt tighten around her chest. It hurt, so she angrily glared at him.
Matthew was simply too impatient. He'd just upped and stopped the car in the middle of the road.
With a livid expression, Rachel pulled out her phone and transferred the exact amount.
After the payment was transferred, Matthew sighed and remarked, "You're supposed to provide for me, but I still have to make a living on my own. I just can't count on you."
