The Great Medical Saint

Austin snapped, "What's wrong? Do you think my life isn't worth 300 million dollars?"

Realizing Austin had gotten the wrong idea, Lance quickly grabbed the phone and prepared the medicine.

At the Carter residence, Rachel brought a bowl of chicken noodle soup to Fred. "This is good for your health, Grandpa. Try some."

Fred took the bowl and put it aside. Seeing Rachel's troubled expression, he asked, "Did something happen?"

Rachel sighed. "There are two things. Uncle Malcolm brought his bodyguards, but they won't listen to me. I don't know what is he up to.

"Then, there's the Smith family giving us a hard time. I suspect that they are after the Carters' businesses."

Fred hummed in acknowledgment. "Don't worry about Malcolm. As long as I'm around, he can't cause any trouble. But regarding the Smith family, do you have any reason for your suspicion?"novelbin

Rachel put up one finger. "The Smiths made their fortune by taking over other families. The older generations call them the barbaric raiders. They've been silent for close to 30 years, but the Smiths won't change their predatory ways." Fred's expression changed drastically. "It's my oversight, and they might have ill intentions now. This will be big trouble."

Rachel looked cold and shrewd. "The only advantage we have now is that the Smith family doesn't know you've fully recovered. They believe the Carter family is falling apart. Maybe that's why they see an opportunity."

Fred nodded. "Just act submissive and play along. Don't confront them outright. I'll step in and take care of it at the end."

Upon hearing Fred's words, Rachel felt more confident. "Got it."

After wrapping up the important matters, Fred beamed and asked, "How are things going between you and Matthew?" Rachel blushed. "It's the same as always."

Fred seemed displeased. "Is it Matthew who's not making an effort, or is it you?"

Rachel had the urge to complain about how pushy Matthew was and always trying to sleep with her. He was quite the pervert.

However, she couldn't tell Fred about it, so she had to put it differently. "I've just been too busy. I'll try to spend more time with him later."

The next day, when Rachel stepped

into the office, Tracy suddenly called, "Where are you, Rachel? Austin is here, and he looks really upset. Have we done something that offended him?" en

Did they upset Austin?

The first thing that came to Rachel's mind was that Matthew had asked for the money back. "You need to attend to Austin first. I'll find out what's going on with Matthew."

After hanging up, Rachel started

typing a message to Matthew when

she sa

him at the door. "Did you go

to the Stanford residence to ask for

money, Matthew?"

Matthew leaned forward and replied, "I went there yesterday."

Moron! Rachel was so angry that she was at a loss for words.

"Why don't you get it? The Stanford family has control over the medical industry in Lambda City. Asking for money will create a big problem for the company. "Besides that, the Stanfords aren't going to return our money. Once they have taken what they want, they aren't going to give it up."

Matthew pulled out a yellow bank card and passed it to Rachel. "Here's the money I reclaimed."

Rachel gaped at Matthew. "You actually got the money back?"

She was in disbelief. Why would Austin give up the money he had received?

After snapping back to reality, Rachel immediately understood why Austin came to the company early in the morning to cause trouble. She grabbed Matthew by the arm. "Come with me. We're going to the office to apologize."
