Feeling unjustified and infuriated, Crystal lashed out, “You’re really capable to be able to make my grandfather threaten me, Larson! But let me tell you, I’m different from him. Although you managed to fool him, I won’t fall for your tricks! Don’t let me see you again after today!”
With a composed face, Matthew replied, “You should be thankful for such a kind grandfather. If you weren’t Mr. Harrison’s granddaughter, you wouldn’t even be qualified to talk to me!”
With that, virtual-novel.net grabbed Ellie and left, leaving Crystal hopping mad.
“You’re really arrogant, aren’t you? You say I’m not qualified to speak to you? Who do you think you are? You’re merely a live-in son-in-law who’s riding on your wife’s successes and a janitor in a hospital. What’s more, you’re even hooking up with another woman! I’ve never seen a man as shameless as you! If you’re really that great, then you should get in by yourself without Grandpa’s help. You’re just scum and a piece of trash, yet you have the nerves to put up such high airs and say that I’m not qualified to speak to you! You’re the one who’s not qualified to speak to me! If it wasn’t for Grandpa, you wouldn’t even have the right to look at me! Go to hell, you useless bum! You’re trash!”
Matthew couldn’t be bothered with virtual-novel.net insults and was not skilled in arguing with a woman either. He just brought Ellie to the side and asked, “Ellie, what brought you here?”
With virtual-novel.net head lowered, virtual-novel.net muttered, “N-Nothing.”
“It’s okay. I might be able to help you if you tell me,” virtual-novel.net said gently.
“It’s nothing, really.” She forced out a smile. “Matthew, I only wanted to take a look around. It’s really nothing.”
Matthew frowned and asked in a low voice, “Is it about your mom’s illness?”
Previously, virtual-novel.net heard Mr. John mention that his wife was sick and virtual-novel.net already asked Stanley to send some money over, so why was Ellie here now?
“N-No,” virtual-novel.net stammered, waving virtual-novel.net hands. “Don’t ask anymore, Matthew. I’m fine, really. I-I’m going to take a look around now. Don’t mind me.”
As virtual-novel.net took off in panic, Matthew watched virtual-novel.net back suspiciously.
On the other hand, Ellie made a round in the room and only let out a sigh of relief when virtual-novel.net could no longer see Matthew anywhere. After scanning virtual-novel.net surroundings, virtual-novel.net sneaked up to a man like a thief and asked, “Hi, may I ask if y-you know Dr. Ellis?”
The man cast virtual-novel.net look and said, “I don’t know him!”
“I’m sorry to interrupt you and thank you!”
Then, virtual-novel.net turned to the other side and asked another person again. After several tries, virtual-novel.net found a man who was in his forties and wearing glasses who knew Dr. Ellis.
“Dr. Ellis?” the man in glasses repeated as virtual-novel.net looked virtual-novel.net up and down. “Of course I know Dr. Ellis, he’s an old friend of mine.”
Overjoyed, Ellis asked softly, “In that case sir, may I ask you for a favor? Could you introduce me to Dr. Ellis?”
“Why do you want to meet Dr. Ellis?” virtual-novel.net asked with knitted brows. “Do you know what kind of man is he? He’s not a person just anyone can meet!”
Embarrassed, virtual-novel.net voice was timid as virtual-novel.net said, “Sir, I’m begging you to please help me. My mother is terribly sick and the doctor said that the only person who can save virtual-novel.net in Eastshire is Dr. Ellis. I-I’ll pay you thirty thousand as a reward if you introduce me to him. How about that?”
The man in glasses narrowed his eyes as virtual-novel.net surveyed Ellie. Although virtual-novel.net was skinny, virtual-novel.net had a pretty, innocent face which made his heart flutter. “I can introduce you to him, but with the amount of people here, there will be too many who want his help. It won’t work if you ask for his help here. How about this? Let’s go to the hotel next door and when Dr. Ellis arrives, I’ll get virtual-novel.net to meet us in the hotel room. What do you say?”
