Chapter 356

Helpless, Matthew sighed. This kind of simple-minded woman got what she deserved.

Even so, she was Mr. Harrison’s granddaughter so he must save her.

“Let her go! Otherwise, I won’t hold back,” Matthew warned coldly.

Travis laughed wildly. “Matthew, are you trying to intimidate me? Do you know how many of the Hughes
are here today? I’m amazed at your boldness to be rude. Since you insist, just come at me! I’m really
itching to beat you to a pulp before the conference starts!”

Matthew put down the tea cup in his hand and slowly stood up. At the same time, his face turned cold.

Travis waved his hand and a group of people rushed over, fiercely surrounding Matthew.

They were all experts from the Hughes Family who were specifically sent here by the Hughes.

After Xavier was killed, the Hughes didn’t dare to put their guards down anymore.

Crystal’s expression changed drastically. She had never expected that Matthew would oppose Travis in
order to save her.

At that moment, all her contempt and displeasure toward Matthew vanished.



Finally, she understood her grandfather’s well intention.

This man might seem common but his courage and sense of responsibility were greater than any other
person.

Even if he was poor, he was still a thousand times better than Travis, who was a sanctimonious dandy.



Smugly, Travis pointed at Matthew. “How are you going to fight me? Beat him to death!”

When the Hughes were about to attack, an icy voice suddenly came from the door. “What are you
doing?”

Everyone turned to look, only to see Dr. Ellis walking in with a frosty face.

Reverence immediately overtook Travis’ face. “Dr. Ellis, you’re here! Nothing’s going on. It’s just trash
causing trouble in the Eastshire Representatives’ resting room. Please take a seat. I’ll chase him out
right now.”

Dr. Ellis’s expression changed while he questioned in a deep voice, “Mr. Larson is my friend. Who are
you referring to as trash?”

Travis was stunned. Matthew was Dr. Ellis’s friend? That was unbelievable!

“Dr. Ellis, did you make a mistake? Did you just say Matthew was your friend? But he’s just a coward
who lives off his wife. How can he be your friend? Besides, you’ve been in seclusion for almost ten years
and have never visited anyone for the past decade. Even if Matthew knows you, how old was he when
he met you?”

Dr. Ellis scolded angrily, “Travis, watch your words! If you disrespect Mr. Larson again, I won’t let you off.
Don’t think that you can act arrogantly outside just because you’re from a reputable family. It might work
for others but you definitely won’t get away when it comes to me. Apologize to Mr. Larson right now and
I’ll pretend that nothing has happened today. Otherwise, although I’m a loner, I’m still able to change the
heir to a family!”

Travis’s face turned pale.

Although Dr. Ellis was alone, he still held an extremely high status in Eastshire.



Even Old Master Hughes was Dr. Ellis’s junior.

In the past, Dr. Ellis had helped Old Master Hughes in taking over the Hughes Family.

Besides, Dr. Ellis had extraordinary medical skills and saved plenty significant figures in Eastshire, which
earned him many debts of gratitude from others.

Although the Huhges Family was powerful, they wouldn’t dare to offend Dr. Ellis.

Travis truly couldn’t understand why a prominent figure like Dr. Ellis knew Matthew.

Most importantly, Dr. Ellis even scolded him for Matthew’s sake.

After all, Dr. Ellis and the Hughes had always been on good terms, and he would always take their side.

So why was today an exception?

After pondering for a while, Travis said in a low voice, “Dr. Ellis, do you know what Matthew has done?
He illegitimately established Eastcliff Medical Association and is attending Six Southern States Medical
Conference in an attempt to split up Eastshire’s Pharmaceutical Union! He harbors wild ambitions and is
obviously targeting the Hughes. If you ask me to apologize to him, you’re just asking the Hughes to
submit to him!”
