After getting slapped, Crystal became extremely baffled, as she was always the center of attention growing up as the daughter of the Harrison Family in Eastcliff.
Not only that, but she also had many friends by virtue of the Harrison Family’s wide connections, even though they were based in Eastcliff where the successors of the Ten Greatest Families were. She was also always backed by Stanley, which was almost the same as being backed by Billy.
As such, even the successors of the Ten Greatest Families would always treat Crystal well.
Apart from that one time when she was told off by Travis, no one else had ever mistreated her since she was little.
However, she did not expect Veronica to have the audacity to slap her, so it took her a while to process that.
This bothered Matthew as even though he had never really liked Crystal, she was nonetheless Joseph’s granddaughter.
Besides, Crystal worked in his department, so as her staff, it would look bad on him when she was slapped by someone in his presence.
As such, Matthew pounded the table and yelled, “Enough! How dare you hit someone at the hospital?”
Looking arrogant, Veronica responded, “So what? She’s just an intern. Why? Are you unhappy with that? I can hit you too if you’d like that!”
As she continued, she lifted her hand and went in Matthew’s direction.
This lady had always got things her way. As the general manager of her company, many of her employees had been slapped by her.
Furthermore, being the wife of the person in charge of all hospitals, she thought she could do whatever she wanted here.
Just before this incident, she had slapped several doctors and nurses, who could not do anything about it.
As such, in her perspective, hitting an intern nurse and a useless man who lived off a woman was no big deal.
However, she didn’t manage to hit Matthew as he kicked a chair next to him out of the way, hitting Veronica in her tummy and sending her to the ground.
However, to be honest, she thought that these situations were nothing to her as Tristan and Veronica were insignificant in the eyes of the Harrison Family, so she could easily settle this issue with just a phone call.
It was the fact that Matthew beat them up that caused her emotions to fluctuate.
At this moment, she felt somewhat strange as she looked at Matthew with admiration in her eyes.
All of a sudden, she recalled the incident that took place in Thousand Lakes Manor where Matthew hit that lady and the guy.
At that time, she felt that Matthew was being unreasonable. Even though she later found out what really took place, she still thought he went overboard with the way he handled things.
However, now that something similar had happened to her, she felt that Matthew was very manly.
When a woman was being wronged, all that she wanted was a man to fight for her, right?
