Rachel nodded. As she walked past Patrick, she said, “Thank you.‘
Patrick smiled as he replied, “No need to be so polite, Mrs. Grant.”
Rachel blushed. She didn’t want to explain further, so she just replied with a soft hum before walking out.
Tracy was unhappy about what Patrick had called Rachel. She huffed and said, “Don’t call her Mrs. Grant!”
Patrick smiled as he bowed. He responded, “Understood, Mrs. Grant.”
Tracy was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She glared at Patrick with her eyes widening and said, “Who are you calling Mrs. Grant?”
Patrick chuckled as he apologized, “I’m sorry, It’s my first time meeting you. I must have gotten confused. I apologize,
Mrs. Grant.”
“You…”
Tracy was very furious. She wanted to say more, but seeing Matthew only made her angrier. She said, “Not even one of you is decent!”
With that, she stormed out.
Patrick sighed in admiration. He said, “Mr. Grant, 1 respect you more and more. You’ve been out of jail just for a few days, and you’ve already conquered two beauties.”
Matthew was too lazy to explain it to him. Instead, he said with a smile, “You keep at it. I have to go now.”
He opened the door and left.
After catching up with Rachel and Tracy, he entered the elevator with them.
As it slowly ascended, they remained silent, feeling a bit awkward. The only sound came from the elevator’s
movements.
Tracy kept grinding her teeth. She finally couldn’t hold back. “Matthew, stop talking nonsense with your scoundrel friends, or don’t blame me for being rude.”
Matthew was a bit unhappy. He said, “When Evan was causing trouble just now, you couldn’t think of a solution. It was my friend who stepped in and resolved it. Watch your mouth.”
Tracy was taken aback, and she fell silent. She knew Matthew was right. Indeed, it was Patrick who had helped them. out, but she still felt slighted.
She said, “I wasn’t talking about him. I meant you. Don’t call Rachel or me your wife in front of them.”
Matthew was exasperated. He said, “Tracy, he helped us out, yet you were rude to him. He was teasing you because you were impolite, and you took it seriously.”
Tracy thought about it and realized he was right, but her pride wouldn’t let her admit it. So, she just snorted in
annoyance.
Once they exited the elevator, they saw the sign for Jubilee Bistro. There were two women in Victorian dresses standing
at the entrance.
Matthew directly said to the attendant, “We have an appointment with Mr. Rhodes.”
The attendant smiled and said, “You must be friends with Mr. Rhodes. Please follow me.”
After leading the trio to a private room, she left.
Matthew slowly opened the door. He was stunned by what he saw.
There were four people dining in the room–two men and two women. One man was in his 40s and was bald. The other

man was in his 30s and had slicked–back hair. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
The two women seemed to be bar girls because they were wearing revealing outfits and their bodies were sexy.
The bald man’s eyes lit up when he saw Matthew enter with Rachel and Tracy.
With a lecherous grin, Johan said, “Mr. Parker, you’re too kind, bringing in more beauties. What a treat for me today.”
Kyrie Parker’s eyes gleamed as he looked at Rachel. He said, “I didn’t invite them.”
Rachel’s face turned grim. She said with a cold attitude, “I’m Rachel Carter from Wealthwave Group. Mike realized he was mistaken and wants to retract his statement.
“I’ve heard that Mr. Rhodes refused to retract it. What’s the meaning of this, Mr. Rhodes?”
