The Great Medical Saint novel 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."

She then tugged on Matthew's hand and led him upstairs.

Yvonne sat down and glared at Martin. "Didn't you say Matthew was a good-for-nothing? You said he was just freeloading and that he tricked Rachel into getting engaged to him.

"It turns out he's more capable than her. You've put me in a tough spot! I was so embarrassed just now!"

Still frowning, Martin said, "I think something's off. Rachel must be lying to protect him. Otherwise, how could a country bumpkin from Lambda City know such big shots in Khoitwood?"

Malcolm and Quinn were drinking together in their living room.
