Master of Medicine The Saintly Healer

Zayden continued, “I was only using the meeting as an excuse to refuse you. I will express my stance here!

“I support Rachel. I believe that with her as the president of Wealthwave Group, the collaboration between our companies will reach a higher level!”

Quinn felt as though he had been slapped in the face.

Rowan had already humiliated him; he hadn’t expected Zayden to ignore the fact that he and Malcolm were classmates and do the same.

How could Zayden humiliate him?

Upon seeing the gazes of his relatives and friends, Quinn felt his face burning.

He couldn’t offend Rowan and Zayden. He could only point at Rachel and vent his hatred. “Rachel, just you wait. W–We aren’t done!”

He had been humiliated in front of so many people. Quinn couldn’t bring himself to stay there any longer. Furiously, he got up and left..

Malcolm’s face was ghastly. He knew that he would be humiliating himself if he stayed there. So, he got up and left with Quinn.

Upon seeing that, Rachel knew that her position as president was secured.

A smile appeared on her cold face. She raised the wine glass and said, “Mr. White, thank you for your support. And thank you, Mr. Lloyd, for your encouragement. I will continue to work hard and lead Wealthwave Group to greater heights!

“Thank you, everyone, for coming. Here’s to the future of the Carters and my mother’s birthday. Cheers!”

Then, Rachel drank all the wine in her glass. Everyone present raised their wine glasses and emptied them too. Withour Quinn and Malcolm around, the atmosphere immediately became lively. Many people walked over to Rachel and congratulated her.

Meanwhile, Matthew sat there and watched everything happen silently. He watched Rachel, who was a proud woman, chatting and laughing, full of energy.

He felt complicated. Ever since Rachel had announced that he would marry into the Carter family, everyone had started to look at him differently.

In fact, no one cared about him.

As Matthew was sitting there in a daze, Yvonne walked over and threw the watch on his table. “Take your watch back.” Matthew took the watch and gave it back to Yvonne. “This is your birthday present.”

Yvonne burst into laughter. “My daughter is Wealthwave Group’s president. I don’t need to wear a counterfeit watch.” In a hurry, Matthew explained, “This is a genuine watch. I helped someone back then. As a thanks, he

Yvonne held up a hand to stop Matthew from talking. She didn’t want to listen to his explanation. While laughing, she called Simon over. “Mr. Qualls, do you think this watch is genuine?”

Simon felt awkward. “If a man from a wealthy family takes out this watch, I would believe it’s genuine. However, an ex -convict like him… The people he knows aren’t reliable.

“As you know, in our industry, there are many counterfeit products. Inspecting treasures is the same as inspecting people. It the person isn’t good, the treasures he has won’t be genuine.”

Yvonne waited for Simon to finish speaking before turning to Matthew.

“Mr. Qualls has said that you aren’t a good person, so the treasures y watch back and sell it at a cheap price.

“My daughter is the Wealthwave Group’s president. You’ve gone through a divorce before. You’re an ex–convict, too. You aren’t worthy of Rachel. I hope you know that.”

Matthew put the watch away. He got up and was about to speak when Rachel walked over.

“Mom, what were you chatting about? I saw you two talking from over there. Are you discussing when we should get engaged?”

At this time, the guests, who had been chatting away, became quiet. They were all looking at Rachel, Matthew, and

Yvonne.

Yvonne was about to speak when Martin tugged at her sleeve. He signaled for her not to speak

With a smile, he changed the topic. “We weren’t discussing that. We were just having a friendly conversation.”

Without waiting for Rachel to ask another question, Martin pulled Yvonne back to their original seats.

Once they were seated, he explained in a low voice, “Quinn basically forced Rachel to say that Matthew would marry into our family. She said it so that everyone could rest assured. We can’t make things difficult for her.”

Yvonne felt upset. “No matter what, I can’t let Rachel get married to a useless man.”

Martin whispered, “I know what to do. Jeffrey Smith has been pursuing Rachel. It’s been four years, but Rachel has never accepted him. I heard that he returned from overseas yesterday.”

When Yvonne heard that, her eyes glinted. “Jeffrey is a great choice. Even the Whites have to respect the Smiths. He’s a lot better than Matthew.

“If Rachel gets married to Jeffrey, no one will dare make things difficult for her, including Quinn!”

Noticing Matthew’s dark expression, Rachel asked in a low voice, “Did my parents say something to you?”

Matthew knew that they needed to discuss it, but there were too many people around. So, he figured they should discuss things after the party. “We’ll talk about this after we see the guests off.”

By the time the birthday party ended, it was already nighttime.

Rachel sat on the bed in her room. She looked at Matthew and said, “We have time now. What did my parents say to you?”
