Chapter 346

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, he 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 her 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 her head lowered, she muttered, “N-Nothing.”

“It’s okay. I might be able to help you if you tell me,” he 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, he heard Mr. John mention that his wife was sick and he already asked Stanley to send some money over, so why was Ellie here now?

“N-No,” she stammered, waving her 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 she took off in panic, Matthew watched her back suspiciously.

On the other hand, Ellie made a round in the room and only let out a sigh of relief when she could no longer see Matthew anywhere. After scanning her surroundings, she sneaked up to a man like a thief and asked, “Hi, may I ask if y-you know Dr. Ellis?”

The man cast her look and said, “I don’t know him!”

“I’m sorry to interrupt you and thank you!” Then, she turned to the other side and asked another person again. After several tries, she found a man who was in his forties and wearing glasses who knew Dr.

Ellis.

“Dr. Ellis?” the man in glasses repeated as he looked her 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?” he asked with knitted brows. “Do you know what kind of man is he? He’s not a person just anyone can meet!”

Embarrassed, her voice was timid as she 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 her 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 he surveyed Ellie. Although she was skinny, she 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 him to meet us in the hotel room. What do you say?”
