The Great Medical Saint (Matthew) novel Chapter 373

To Barrett's knowledge, Matthew had saved Fred. The latter was old; as long as Matthew was with him, he could extend his lifespan for a few more years.

Barrett thought it was impossible for Fred to drive Matthew away over some relationship nonsense. It didn't make any sense.

The guard thought Barrett was insane. Matthew had hooked up with another woman. It was quite a big deal, yet Barrett remained unconvinced.

He lost the patience to explain. "If you don't believe me, forget it. In any case, Wealthwave Group doesn't have an employee named Matthew Grant. Leave immediately. Stop pestering us."

Was this guard trying to kick him out?

After pondering for a while, he said, "Get Matthew down here in three minutes. Otherwise, I'll lie down at the entrance."

The guard was baffled. The old man was clearly a scoundrel.

Without any other choice, the guard informed his superiors about the situation.

Ten minutes later, Rachel arrived. She thought Matthew's father, Stanley, had come.

When she saw Barrett, she frowned. She had never seen him before. "Sir, I'm Rachel Carter, the company's president. How may I address you?"

Barrett gave Rachel a few more glances. He thought, "She was beautiful. If I were 70 or 80 years younger, nay, 20 years younger, as long as I could get it up, I'd try to woo her."

Regardless, he was old and weak. He could only admire beautiful women like her. Even if he managed to woo her, there was little he could do.

After feeling sorry for himself, Barrett composed himself and fixed his windswept hair. Haughtily, he said, "You don't deserve to know my name. Bring Matthew here."

Rachel was speechless. She had no idea where this old man was from, but he was quite arrogant.

"Matthew has already left our company—"

Barrett immediately interrupted her. "Don't lie to me. Matthew is the most talented person you could ask for. There's no way you'd actually fire him. Did you catch wind of some news and hide him?"

Rachel gritted her teeth. She had never met anyone so unreasonable. Still, she looked at the old man. He was almost 100 years old.

She had no choice but to take her phone out, find that familiar number, and call it.

Matthew had just exited City Hall when his phone rang.

When he realized the caller was Rachel, he was momentarily stunned, then swiftly accepted the call. "Rachel, did you miss me?"

Rachel's heart clenched. She did miss him. Ever since they had broken up, he had been on her mind. He was her first man, after all.

In truth, she had agreed to Barrett and called Matthew because she wanted to see him as well.

Regardless, Isaac was too powerful. For the sake of the Carters and the Grants, she couldn't say anything sincere. "We've broken up. Why would I miss you? An old man is looking for you. If you don't come, he'll make a scene in front of my company."
