Malcolm laughed heartily after speaking and entered Lloyd Residence.
Rachel's face was ashen. The Lloyds' support was crucial.
She had thought that, with her position as president of Wealthwave Group, once she met the head of the Lloyd family and presented her company's three-year plan, she would surely gain the Lloyds' support.
Unexpectedly, she couldn't even get through the gate. She realized she had been naïve.
Matthew approached her and comforted her. "Don't worry, isn't that what I'm here for? I'll talk to Mr. Lloyd and make sure we get his support."
Rachel shook her head. "If I can't do it, how can you, a doctor… Forget it. Don't say anything for now. Let me calm down and think if there's another way."
She rubbed her temples and fell into deep thought.
Matthew walked to the gate and spoke to the security guard. "Go and tell Mr. Lloyd that Matthew Grant is here and that he should come out to meet me! Quick!"
He spoke with a commanding tone, as if he were a leader summoning a subordinate.
The security guard was skeptical. "Are you sure you want Mr. Lloyd to come out and meet you? Are you mistaken?"
Matthew reprimanded him sternly. "Stop wasting time! Tell him to come quickly! You have five minutes!"
As Matthew issued a final ultimatum, the guard was taken aback by his imposing demeanor.
Given Hugo's status, no one had the right to demand he come out. But Matthew sounded serious.
Fearing that he would mess up one of Hugo's important matters, the guard didn't dare to slack off. "All right, I'll go in and ask."
The guard ran into the courtyard, leaving two other guards looking at Matthew with suspicion.
Rachel was utterly shocked by his actions. When she came to her senses and saw the guard go in, she complained to him angrily, "I told you not to make things worse. Why don't you listen?
