Rowan was stunned. He wanted to stand up, but felt that it was inappropriate. He looked at Matthew hopefully, wishing for a way out of this situation.
Matthew said sternly, "If it weren't for your father, I wouldn't even bother with you even if you knelt before me."
Rowan stood up embarrassedly and said, "Thank you. I didn't recognize how great you are. I won't make the same mistake again."
Seeing the situation resolved, Hugo invited Matthew into the manor once again.
In the living room, Rowan dismissed the household staff. He personally served tea and attended to them on the side while Hugo and Matthew chatted.
The two chatted for a few words and got to the main point.
Hugo said, "Dr. Grant, Rowan mentioned you had a matter to discuss at the gate. I'm not sure what it is, but I assure you that the Lloyd family will assist you in any way we can."
Matthew smiled and said, "It's not that extreme. My girlfriend, Rachel, is currently the president of Wealthwave Group, but some of her family members are not convinced that she is the right person for the job. I just need you to support her and make a statement."
Hugo immediately stood up. "I haven't made an appearance in the business world for a long time. Let's go right now. I'll personally visit the Carters."
With the Lloyd family's status, just a word from Hugo would be the greatest support for Rachel.
His personal visit would be a tremendous honor for the Carters.
Matthew shook Hugo's hands. "Thank you for your support, but it's not urgent. Rachel's mother's birthday is the day after tomorrow. Let's go then."
Hugo nodded. "All right, the day after tomorrow it is. I'll prepare a gift. Dr. Grant, the Carter family is incredibly fortunate to have you as the future son-in-law."
Matthew smiled and chatted a little more before leaving.
Hugo stood up and said, "Let Rowan drop you back. He doesn't have much to do these days. You might need a car in Khoitwood. Let him be your driver."
Matthew was about to refuse, but Rowan quickly offered. "Dr. Grant, it's an honor to have you in Khoitwood. I must do my best to be a good host."
Compared to when they met for the first time, Rowan's attitude now was completely different. He was filled with enthusiasm.
