Isaac said, "If you want me to overlook Matthew's actions, we need to change the terms of our agreement. We initially set it for three years, but now it's two years. If you agree to this, I'll let him go."
Rachel's icy demeanor was replaced by fear upon hearing that.
Expanding Wealthwave Group tenfold in three years and using financial power to break free from the Wood family was already nearly impossible. With the timeframe reduced to two years, the challenge seemed even more daunting.
But for Matthew's safety, she had no choice but to relent. "Fine, I accept. Two years."
Isaac's eyes flashed with hatred. At that moment, he was more determined than ever to kill Matthew. Rachel's willingness to compromise only fueled his resolve. If he didn't act, the anger would fester like a thorn in his side.
Still, he said generously, "Since my fiancée has spoken, I'll spare the brat." With a dismissive wave to Kael, he ordered him to leave.
Kael, nursing his injuries, walked away with a resentful expression.
Rachel didn't trust Isaac enough to accept anything from him. If he had any hidden agendas, she didn't want to walk straight into his trap.
"I'm not taking any chances. I need the next two years to build a sustainable business model for the Wealthwave Group. Only then can I leave with peace of mind."
Her straightforward statement revealed her intent to focus on expanding her company, which subtly eased his suspicion.
Isaac nodded. "The Carter family is indeed short on talent, so you'll have to put in a lot of effort. Once you're married to me, you'll manage my company. Then, you won't have time to focus on your family anymore."
As he spoke, a faint smile crept across his lips. No matter what, she was his, and nothing could change that.
Rachel nodded and turned to leave.
Once she was gone, Isaac turned to his bodyguard. "Ronald, the Air Force unit is coming to purchase medical supplies. Make sure they're armed and ready to protect me. Also, inform Matthew that if he wants to attend the forum, he needs to come to my office and apologize."
Ronald Caldwell seemed to grasp his intentions. "So, you're using the Air Force unit to kill Matthew?"
