The Great Medical Saint (Matthew)

Chapter 36

Yvonne was taken aback. She looked at Matthew, then at Rachel. She shook her head.

"Impossible. He's from Lambda City. It's his first time in Khoitwood. There's no way he could know people from those two families. Besides, how could a doctor have such influence?" She couldn't believe that a doctor could have more sway with the two families than Rachel, the president of Wealthwave Group.

Rachel sighed. "Mom, do I have a reason to lie to you?"

She was right. Yvonne looked at Matthew in disbelief. If Rachel said so, it must be true. She realized she had completely misjudged him. Now she deeply regretted her actions. She had never held such a grand birthday celebration in her life and didn't want it to become a joke where Rachel lost her position. After all, Rachel was her pride and joy.

Yvonne looked at Matthew and said embarrassedly, "Well, in that case, I'll need to trouble you to handle receiving the Lloyds and Whites during the party."

Matthew didn't respond; he was clearly still angry.

Noticing the tension, Rachel stepped in to smooth things over. "Mom, Dad, you guys continue your meal. I'll take Matthew upstairs for a bath."
