The first time they met outside the hotel, Rachel thought Matthew was a pervert, only to find out he was her blind date. Later, she realized he was indeed a pervert, but only with her.
In Khoitwood, he helped secure three powerful allies to defeat Malcolm and secure her position as president.
When they returned to Lambda City, Matthew also made an enemy of the Smith family by risking his life to save her from Sheldon.
As these memories flashed in her mind, Rachel could no longer control her tears, and they streamed down her face.
Noticing the long silence, Matthew asked again, "Rachel, say something. Did you hear me? I said I miss you. This morning in the office was so thrilling. Your figure is amazing, and your skin is so smooth…"
There he went again. This perverted behavior of his always made Rachel blush.
But at this moment, she cherished these words that made her blush now more than ever, knowing it would be the last time.
She took a deep breath and cleared her throat, speaking resolutely, "Matthew, let's break up. I don't like divorced, perverted men who are poorer than me. I don't like… I just don't like you!"
Every word she spoke was accompanied by tears falling to the ground. The crystalline teardrops shattered upon hitting the floor.
Matthew was stunned. He had felt Rachel's growing affection recently; she had been smiling more, and her attitude toward him had been much better.
The coldness she had once exuded had melted away, replaced by occasional shy smiles that were beautiful.
But… Why was she saying this now?
He couldn't accept it.
Recalling the confrontation with Isaac and the threats he made, he seemed to have realized the truth.
"Rachel, did the Wood family threaten you? Tell me, who threatened you? I'll go deal with them right now!"
A hint of pain crossed Rachel's face. She wanted Matthew to deal with Isaac as well, but their family's power was too overwhelming. It wasn't something that could be solved with just two fists.
