On the radio, the host couldn't stop praising Matthew.
They said that Matthew was a man of great integrity and morality, adding that despite being a president of a multinational company, he was still able to devote time to help the underprivileged.
The more Selina listened, the more restless she became.
High morality and integrity? It was nothing more than a publicity stunt.
It was a perfect front.
"Sir, please turn off the radio." Selina couldn't help herself.
Although the driver was a little reluctant, he turned off the radio. He wanted to respect his passenger's request.
Selina added, "Just hearing the name 'Matthew Perry' makes me sick!"
"I've seen Matthew Perry before," the driver suddenly said.
The corners of Selina's mouth twitched. She said casually, "Oh, was it on TV or in a magazine?"
There was a hint of excitement on his face as he shook his head. "Nope. I've seen him in person. It happened when I was waiting at a set of traffic lights."
The driver gestured, "At that time, his car was next to mine. I could tell from one look that he wasn't a normal person, but I only realized later on that he was the president of the Perry Group that I've seen in magazines!"
The driver became more and more excited. "Matthew is really good- looking. Even though I'm a man myself, I still think that he is incredibly handsome!"
Selina couldn't understand the driver's excitement.
He had only met Matthew once. Was there a need for him to be so excited?
"Oh," The driver said as if he had thought of something. "There was a young lady sitting next to him. The girl was young and fair. She was so beautiful!"
Her breath caught in her throat.
A young lady? A pretty young lady?
It was definitely not her. If it was, the driver would have recognized her.
If it wasn't her, then who was it?
Selina remembered what Erine had told her earlier.
She had said that there used to be a woman who came to visit the Perry family. At that time, Selina thought that she was overthinking it. The woman was probably just an ordinary guest.
But now the driver said that he saw a beautiful young lady sitting next to Matthew?
Was she overthinking, or was Matthew's 'loyalty' yet another pretty lie he had told her?
She turned the idea over and over in her head.
"By the way, why did you say that hearing Matthew's name makes you sick?" The driver remembered Selina's words from earlier and asked curiously. "Don't girls nowadays like such men? He's not just handsome, but mature and rich."
"Nevertheless, he is hypocritical and disgusting." Selina added.
"No, I don't think so." The driver disagreed. "He looks very nice."
As a taxi driver, he had come across many types of people. Although he had only seen Matthew once, he was certain of this. He was a good judge of character.
"Don't judge a book by its cover," Selina laughed coldly.
"Young lady, you can't say that. In fact, you can tell from a person's appearance. A bad person has a cunning look in his eyes. You..." There was a loud bang and the car suddenly came to a halt.
The driver had crashed into the car in front of him.
He was too focused on his conversation with Selina. He hadn't paid attention to the road in front of him.
The car in front of them was a McLaren.
His face turned pale.
He would have to bear responsibility as he had bumped into the car in front.
The compensation cost wasn't going to be cheap.
"What should I do now... I'm done. I'm finished..." His fingers were trembling. "I will need to pay a lot of money. I still have a wife and children to look after."
For a low-paying job like a taxi driver, every penny was important.
