Chapter 133
Perhaps it was 20 or 30 thousand dollars, or even 40 to 50 thousand dollars. The most Matthew had was probably a few hundred thousand dollars.
But all this money meant nothing to Rachel, who reigned over a company that was worth hundreds of billions of
dollars.
Seeing that Matthew refused to compromise, Tessa gritted out, “He has ten billion dollars! In liquid assets!”
Rachel’s phone dropped to the floor. Shock filled her expression as she gaped at Tessa.
“You’re saying that he has… ten billion dollars in liquid assets?”
Rachel was utterly shell–shocked. Even a large conglomerate like Wealthwave Group couldn’t liquidate such a large sum. They had to invest in new projects, seek partnerships, and sometimes even get a loan from the bank.
But Matthew literally had ten billion dollars at his fingertips.
This fact stunned Rachel even more than seeing the sun rise in the west.
Tessa shot a triumphant look at Matthew. “That’s right. He’d just deposited ten billion dollars in the bank yesterday. Now you know he’s been deceiving you.”
Despite her second confirmation with Tessa, Rachel still found it hard to believe. Wealthwave Group might be equipped with hundreds of billions worth of assets, but she would have to liquidate a lot of assets to achieve that amount in
cash.
With his ten billion dollars, Matthew was easily wealthier than her. And she had the gall to act all high and mighty by pleasing him with merely 20 thousand dollars.
She felt like a joke.
Noting Rachel’s silence, Tessa said, “Now you know he’s lying to you. I only ended up with a company after our divorce. The ten billion dollars should actually be part of our shared assets, but he purposely kept me in the dark and transferred it away.
“Would you still dare to have him as your boyfriend?”
Matthew could no longer bear it.
“Tessa, I told you I could let you live a comfortable life because I made ten billion dollars. But you said I was daydreaming. Could you blame me when you didn’t even believe me?”
Tessa was rendered speechless. Still, she yearned to have her share of the money. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

“Even if I didn’t believe you back then, the money is part of our marital assets.”
Matthew nodded. “I didn’t deny that. I checked the divorce agreement last night; it clearly states that you only wanted the company and I could take the rest. I actually have a copy of it on my phone. Do you want to have a look at it?”
Tessa fell silent. Indeed, there was such a clause to ensure her control over the company. The company was goose she believed she could have everything with it.

Little did she expect Matthew to have such a huge fortune aside from the company. With the clause stated in the agreement, it was practically impossible for her to get her share of his fortune.
Thinking about her company’s finances, Tessa panicked. She might actually end up in prison If she couldn’t get the
money.
“Matthew, something’s wrong with the company. I need money. Why can’t you help me when you have so much money?”
“There’s nothing between us right now. Why should I help you?” Matthew said coldly.
Slightly infuriated, Tessa rebuked, “The past is in the past. Can’t you act like a man and let it go? Can’t you be more generous?”
Matthew’s suppressed fury surged instantly. He didn’t get angry when the company he founded was taken away from him, nor did he get angry when he ended up getting a divorce after he went to prison in his wife’s stead.
He was certainly very generous. Now that they were already divorced, Tessa had the audacity to criticize his lack of generosity just because he didn’t help her.
Unable to restrain his rage any longer, Matthew roared, “Fuck off! I’ve been extremely generous by tolerating you until now without laying a finger on you! Don’t blame me for being ruthless if you don’t get out of my sight right now!”
