The Great Medical Saint

Malcolm laughed heartily after speaking and entered Lloyd Residence.

Rachel's face was ashen. The Lloyds' support was crucial.

She had thought that, with her position as president of Wealthwave Group, once she met the head of the Lloyd family and presented her company's three-year plan, she would surely gain the Lloyds' support. Unexpectedly, she couldn't even get through the gate. She realized she had been naïve.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

Matthew approached her and comforted her. "Don't worry, isn't that what I'm here for? I'll talk to Mr. Lloyd and make sure we get his support."

Rachel shook her head. "If I can't do it, how can you, a doctor... Forget it. Don't say anything for now. Let me calm down and think if there's another way."

She rubbed her temples and fell into deep thought.

Matthew walked to the gate and spoke to the security guard. "Go and tell Mr. Lloyd that Matthew Grant is here and that he should come out to meet me! Quick!"

He spoke with a commanding tone, as if he were a leader summoning a subordinate.

The security guard was skeptical. "Are you sure you want Mr. Lloyd to come out and meet you? Are you mistaken?"

Matthew reprimanded him sternly. "Stop wasting time! Tell him to come quickly! You have five minutes!"

As Matthew issued a final ultimatum, the guard was taken aback by his imposing demeanor.

Given Hugo's status, no one had the right to demand he come out. But Matthew sounded serious.

Fearing that he would mess up one of Hugo's important matters, the guard didn't dare to slack off. "All right, I'll go in and ask."

The guard ran into the courtyard, leaving two other guards looking at Matthew with suspicion.

Rachel was utterly shocked by his actions. When she came to her senses and saw the guard go in, she complained to him angrily, "I told you not to make things worse. Why don't you listen?

"You asked Mr. Lloyd to come see you? Who do you think you are? You've completely offended the Lloyd family this time."

The two guards wore strange expressions. They shook their heads as if expecting Matthew to get into trouble.

Matthew remained calm. He didn't bother to explain further. A thousand explanations couldn't compare to the impact of Hugo personally welcoming him.

He glanced at the courtyard, but Hugo was nowhere to be seen.

He frowned and muttered, "Could he not be home?"

Rachel glared at Matthew. "Mr. Lloyd is entertaining Uncle Malcolm and Quinn. How could he not be home?"

Matthew seemed to realize something. "Maybe the guard was too afraid to interrupt him while he was with guests. He is such a coward. Let's wait a bit longer." The other two guards at the gate were clearly annoyed by Matthew.

Rachel had never believed it, but Matthew spoke so convincingly that a glimmer of hope rose in her heart. This might be her only chance.

After another ten minutes, footsteps sounded from the courtyard.

Matthew looked over and saw the guard return with three others.

Alongside Malcolm and Quinn was a slightly overweight man in casual clothes. He was chatting and laughing with them.

Rachel's eyes widened in disbelief. Matthew hadn't been joking. He had actually succeeded! Hugo's son, Rowan Lloyd, had come out to personally meet them.

She recalled Fred advising her to stay close to Matthew. Now she understood why.

His status was extraordinary, and his words carried power.

She hooked her arm through Matthew's and whispered, "I can't believe it. With just a word from you, Mr. Lloyd really came out to greet us. I... I've misunderstood you. Please don't be mad at me." Matthew felt very pleased by her gentle words.
