Chapter 432

Crystal had her fair share of boyfriends back in her schooling days. Therefore, she could tell what Steven
was trying to do at a glance. Even if this was in the past, she wouldn’t have been attracted to somebody
like him no matter how many boyfriends she had.

Moreover, she had changed a lot after what happened the last time. At the very least, she now knew
what it was she was looking for. Thus, she refused him politely, “I’m sorry, but I still have work to do.”

Steven looked slightly embarrassed, but he immediately said, “Miss Harrison, how could you be doing
such menial tasks? Matthew, how could you make Miss Harrison wipe the tables?! Can’t you do such
stuff yourself?! Miss Harrison, give him the cloth. He can do it on his own!”

Joseph and the director had deliberately and strongly suppressed the information on what had happened
to Matthew at the hospital previously. Hence, not many people knew about the incident involving Timothy
Wayne.

For that reason, most of the people within the hospital were unaware of Matthew’s current situation.
Rather, they assumed that he had obtained his position through his connections, especially after
James and Helen came to the hospital to kick up a ruckus.

Since that incident, everybody at the hospital looked down on him even more. Moreover, people like
Tristan and Steven had never even considered Matthew to be their equals from the beginning. They
came from excellent families and were a great catch themselves. So, why on earth would they think
highly of a rumored useless live-in son-in-law?

Matthew frowned slightly. I’m not stopping you from courting Crystal. But, you come to my department
and order me about. Do you think that I’m working for you?

Meanwhile, Crystal frowned too. “Dr. Newton, Matthew is the director of our department. How can I allow
him to do such menial tasks? Besides, these tasks are part of my duties. If you have no business here, I



would like you to leave. Please don’t interfere in the daily operations of our department!”

Steven looked very embarrassed. He had never been humiliated in this manner before whenever he
courted girls in the past. Still, he didn’t dare to lash out at her. So, he could only direct his anger toward
Matthew. “Director Larson, as far as I am aware, the nurses at our hospital don’t need to do any cleaning
for you!

Did you think that you can take advantage of Miss Harrison’s naïvete and bully her just because she is a
recent graduate? Is that why you pushed such hard labor on her? Do you actually consider yourself a
director?! Hmph; have you forgotten? Not too long ago, you were just a janitor cleaning the toilets at the
hospital! So what if you found yourself a rich wife?



Did you think you can assert your newfound authority just because your in-laws bribed the hospital to
make you a director? I’m telling you. This is the hospital; it’s not your home! I don’t care about how you
sponge off your wife at home, or how you act all high and mighty at home.

The hospital has its own rules! Making Miss Harrison clean for you is going against those rules!
Apologize to Miss Harrison immediately, and I’ll graciously pretend that this never happened.
Otherwise… Hmph; believe it or not, I’ll get you kicked out of the hospital!”

Upon hearing those words, Matthew scowled. This guy sure is vicious. He doesn’t hesitate to insult me
just to hook up with Crystal. Besides, what does he mean about cleaning the toilets, or bribing, or
sponging off my wife?

If it were a newcomer who didn’t know me, she would immediately find me despicable. Moreover, how
could he say that I’m picking on the newcomer by making her do menial tasks? Isn’t he openly trying to
sow discord? Then, he smiled superficially as he glanced at Steven. “Are you trying to create trouble?”



Steven’s expression changed greatly. “Who do you think you’re talking to? Do you know who I am—”

Matthew waved his hand dismissively. “I don’t care who you are! This is my department! Get out!”

Furious, Steven was about to lose his temper when Crystal spoke up suddenly, “The director has asked
you to leave! Didn’t you hear him? Besides, I’m willingly doing these tasks! Who are you to butt in? Dr.
Newton, I’m saying this again—please, leave! Don’t disrupt the daily operations of our department!”

Then, Steven was completely stunned. What is going on? I was speaking on her behalf. Moreover, I told
Matthew off for her too. Why is she angry at me? Why is she defending this useless b*stard?!
