Chapter 23
"If what happened to Matthew is exposed, the Carters will definitely support you. As for those families we work with, they have no choice but to choose you!"
Quinn was excited upon hearing this. "Dad, when do you plan to reveal Matthew's identity?"
Malcolm replied firmly, "We have to take advantage of Rachel's return. We need to organize a gathering, invite our relatives, friends, and business partners. We have to expose Matthew's identity and seize the president's position!" Quinn was full of enthusiasm. "All right, let's do it!"
Just then, someone knocked on the door. A voice sounded. "Ms. Carter is here with her boyfriend."
Malcolm glanced at Quinn. "Just the person we needed. She delivered herself right to us."
...
Matthew examined the surroundings in the living room. It was rather antique. The furniture was all made of wood.
Rachel frowned again. She was somewhat troubled.
Matthew noticed that she had been frowning since their arrival. It seemed like the Carters were giving her a lot of pressure.
The moment he thought about spending the night together, he felt the need to step up as a man and shoulder some responsibility. He smiled and comforted her,."Don't worry. I'm here."
Rachel frowned even more. "You're just a doctor."
She said no more. Matthew smiled. "What's wrong with being a doctor? As long as I'm here, no one can treat you wrong!" Rachel got more worried. In her eyes, Matthew was just a doctor. He couldn't possibly help her in her family's power struggle. Footsteps sounded at the door. Soon, Malcolm and Quinn walked into the living room.
Rachel stood up. "Uncle Malcolm, I'm sorry for the sudden visit."
Matthew stood up as well. From Rachel's politeness, he knew that the relationship between them was like that of strangers. It was probably worse than strangers. Otherwise, they wouldn't be chatting so politely.
Matthew gestured for Rachel to sit. "Rachel, you're here."
Rachel hurriedly introduced Matthew. "Uncle Malcolm, this is my boyfriend, Matt-"NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Before she could finish, Malcolm interrupted coldly. "That's enough. You don't have to introduce him. A nobody like him doesn't deserve to meet me."
A nobody? Matthew's gaze sharpened. He had encountered all kinds of big shots. Fred even begged him to heal him.
There were at least a dozen big shots in Khoitwood who sought treatment from him. All of them treated Matthew with utmost respect.
And here was Malcolm. He was just a member of the Carter family, yet he dared to look down on Matthew like this. He was overestimating himself.
Rachel was filled with anger. Malcolm insulting Matthew in front of her was an attack directed at her. She spoke coldly, "Uncle Malcolm, what do you mean by this?"
Malcolm looked at Rachel meaningfully. "What do I mean? You know what I mean. You're getting married soon. You'll no longer be part of the Carter family. It's time for you to give up the president's position!"
