Chapter 112 Sheer Luck
The maid urged anxiously, "Little Young Mater."
The young man finally raised his head, exposing his chiseled, handsome face. He looked like a hybrid and was very manly. It was just that he looked so gloomy as he replied, "I'm not deaf."
he tossed his phone aside and took a glance at Matthew. Then he asked with a fake smile, "Mr. Clark, why do you have time to visit us today?"
Matthew replied expressionlessly, "You know the answer. Why do you bother asking this?"
Declan Ryker chuckled and turned to look at Charlotte, questioning, "She..."
Charlotte stepped back a bit, feeling afraid of this unbridled young man.
"Have you graduated from junior high school?" Declan lazily lit a cigarette and slightly squinted at Charlotte, asking, "Are you 13 years old? Or 14?"
Charlotte replied angrily, her cheeks bulging, "I'm 18!"
Declan sneered and replied, "I'm sorry. I can't see that from your appearance."
Charlotte was rendered speechless.
"That's true. Mr. Clark, don't take people to the Rykers' mansion randomly." A clear female voice suddenly sounded.
Charlotte turned around and saw a girl who was wearing a red skirt walking into the hall. She had delicate makeup and looked beautiful. However, she looked somehow arrogant and condescending.
The servants hurriedly greeted her, "Ms. Sienna Ryker."
Sienna looked Charlotte up and down as if she was studying a piece of goods and her eyes looked critical as she remarked, "Mr. Clark, I know you're worried about Fiona's health, but you can't turn to any doctor out of anxiety. How can you bring such a smatterer to our home?"
If it was in the past, Sienna, a daughter from a branch of the Ryker family, would not dare to talk to Matthew like this. She would just try her best to avoid meeting him. However...
Sienna curled up her lips.
Matthew felt guilty toward Fiona, so he wouldn't resort to violence with any members of the Ryker family. Therefore, Sienna wasn't afraid of him anymore and became more and more unbridled.
Matthew said blandly, "She's very skilled in medicine."
Sienna sneered and retorted, "From her looks, I guess she even doesn't grasp the pharmacodynamics. Skilled in medicine? Mr. Clark, don't be deceived by her."
Matthew slightly frowned. Apparently, he was getting impatient. He asked, "When is it your turn to take charge of the Ryker family?"
Sienna's face turned pale. She took a glance at Declan, but the latte acted as if it was none of his business and even said with a smile, "Why are you looking at me? Go on."
Sienna shot a glare at Charlotte and continued, "I won't allow her to treat Fiona. I'm worried about it. What if Fiona's condition gets worse after the treatment? Who will be responsible for it?"
Charlotte wanted to tell them that she could just examine Fiona and that she wouldn't give her any prescription. But Matthew spoke ahead of her, "I'll be responsible for it."
Sienna was a bit dumbfounded. Then she retorted sarcastically, "Mr. Clark, I don't believe your words. Not a bit."
Matthew continued, "She curled my grandmother's stoke and saved Commander Bennett's life. She's truly skilled in medicine. Ms. Ryker, I don't want to hear you humiliate her again."
Sienna still wanted to say something, but Declan interrupted her, "Enough, Sienna."
Sienna was a bit afraid of her cousin and immediately shut up.
Declan took a glance at Charlotte and said, "I've heard of it. Did you save Commander Bennett?"
Charlotte nodded.
Sienna couldn't help but retort, "Probably it's because of her sheer luck. Like a blind cat caught a dead rat."
