Chapter 87
Marty didn’t bother answering Alex’s question. He just raised his hand and slapped Alex again. “Go home. You’re here to make friends, not butt into people’s affairs. You stupid fool.”
Alex had never seen Marty so angry before. He didn’t know what he did wrong but was too frightened to defend himself. “I’m leaving. I’ll go home now,”
Standing to the side, Jeffrey said, “Mr. Miller, as you said, anyone caught sneaking in would get kicked out. Why didn’t you throw Matthew out instead of hitting Alex?”
With a darkened expression, Marty replied, “Alex is my nephew, and I can discipline him as I see fit. As for the club, anyone who enters is a distinguished guest. You better watch your mouth.”
Jeffrey was rendered speechless, looking embarrassed.
He couldn’t figure out what had happened himself. Earlier, Marty had firmly stated that anyone who snuck in would be kicked out. Less than a minute later, Marty changed his mind and warned Jeffrey instead.
Marty thereafter completely ignored Jeffrey. Upon seeing that Matthew was still upset, he lowered his head and apologized, “Mr. Grant, I humbly apologize. Alex was being immature and caused you problems. I’ll ensure he learns his lesson.”
Since Marty had to keep Matthew’s identity a secret, he could only apologize in such a manner.
Matthew waved a dismissive hand and glanced at Alex. He coldly commanded, “Get him out of here. He’s getting on
my nerves.”
Marty leaned forward. “Sure, I’ll kick him out now.”
After saying that, Marty grabbed Alex by his hair and dragged him out. “Get out!”
“Ah! Uncle Marty! My hair!” Alex yelled. After being taken out of the room, his shouting became more distant until he could no longer be heard.
The room fell silent. It was so quiet that one could even hear a pin drop.
Rachel looked at Matthew in surprise. Her eyes were filled with disbelief.
What did Matthew do? Marty was the manager of Opulent Club, so why was he being so cautious and respectful around Matthew?
Jeffrey was still in shock
When Alex reported Matthew earlier, he ended up being kicked out of the club himself. Why did that happen? What was the reason?
Another woman was sat in the room, dressed seductively. She hadn’t said a word the entire time.
Her countenance changed as the events unfolded. When Matthew first entered the room, she looked at him with
disdain. However, her expression soon turned to one of surprise, then finally to shock.
After thinking about it, the woman got curious. She sized Matthew up, trying to find clues about his identity.
Rachel quickly came back to her senses and found herself pleasantly surprised. Since Matthew wasn’t kicked out, she stopped worrying.
Still, she was puzzled. “How did you come to the second floor, Matthew?”
Matthew replied, “I walked in. How else do you think I got in?
Rachel was surprised that Matthew was still in the mood to joke around. She playfully said, “We get it. You walked in. Alright? Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Matthew glanced at the clock and urged, “Let’s get the business meeting over with quickly. Once it’s done, we’ll leave. I
really don’t want to stay here any longer.”
Rachel turned to Jeffrey. “Let’s get down to business.”
Jeffrey’s expression turned grim. He had invited Alex to set Matthew up, but Alex ended up getting beaten by Marty and got kicked out instead.
He had also planned to get Rachel drunk, but his plan fell through.
At that moment, he had no choice but to move on to the business deal. “The product we’re discussing is called Romidocin. Here are the approval documents for its production. Romidocin is essentially meant for stabilizing blood pressure.”
Rachel sifted through the documents. Her expression was one that showed her wisdom and confidence.
After reviewing them, she raised her head and asked, “What’s the selling point of Romidocin?”
Jeffrey leaned against the chair and crossed his legs. He confidently said, “Compared to the existing drugs in the market, it has fewer side effects and won’t upset the stomach. After beginning the prescription, patients need to take it for the rest of their lives. They can’t skip a dose.”
Matthew furrowed his brows. He wanted to stay quiet in the meeting and let Rachel make the call in business matters. However, as a doctor, he couldn’t sit still.
“There are already effective medications in the market to correct high blood pressure. This new drug isn’t a proper remedy; it requires continuous use after the first dose. What’s the point of manufacturing it?”
Upon hearing Matthew’s comment, Jeffrey was amused. “You’re just a chauffeur. What could you possibly know? “Treating it with existing drugs regularly makes a good medicine but a bad product. Lifelong medication means the whole family will be tied to the company if even one of them is sick.
“That’s what makes a drug profitable. The money will keep coming in. You wouldn’t understand even if I explained it to you.”
