Chapter 122
Matthew was equally surprised to find Jeffrey here. He couldn’t help but suspect Jeffrey was the culprit. It was too much of a coincidence for him to be here when Shane suddenly refused to sell Wealthwave’s products.
Matthew instantly understood today’s matter wouldn’t be easily resolved.
Jeffrey’s eyes lit up when he saw Rachel. The way her burgundy shirt complemented her aloof yet stunning features made her even more alluring. She was easy on the eyes, to say the least.
He had been with many women, but most of them were mediocre in comparison. Only Rachel’s unattainable beauty enthralled him. It was a shame that he could only watch her from a distance now, but it fueled his desire nonetheless.
Sensing his unabashed stare, Rachel grew infuriated. “Jeffrey, I didn’t expect to see you here.”
Jeffrey immediately snapped out of his reverie. “Oh, Mr. Wright needed my advice on some work issues. I’m here to provide some guidance.”
He sounded nonchalant, as if he was Shane’s superior.
A hint of anxiety crossed Rachel’s face when she sensed his implication. However, she had no choice but to feign ignorance and turned to greet Shane instead.
“Mr. Wright, I apologize for the unexpected visit.”
Shane smiled and remarked, “I’ve always wanted to meet the legendary beauty of a president, and you’ve finally granted me the honor today.”
Shane was in his 50s. With his large double–lidded eyes and short hair, he looked quite spirited. He looked fine with a neutral expression, but the angle of his lips turned crooked when he smiled.
Seemingly aware of the oddity in his expression, he struggled to control his facial muscles. That said, his lips did nothing more than a few twitches. Thus, his smile ended up uncannily distorted.
Rachel was startled. She intended to ask whether he had any health issues, but she felt it was too imposing to do so during their first meeting.
Pretending not to notice, she stated her purpose. “Mr. Wright, we’ve been working together for years. Why have you suddenly stopped selling our products?”
Shane cleared his throat. “Traditional medicine is too unscientific. All that talk about the five elements and contrary forces in our body is nothing more than feudal superstition. Besides, can those medicines made from bark and roots really cure diseases?”
His question caught Rachel off guard. While she was at a loss for words, Matthew began, “Mr. Wright, why haven’t you treated your facial paralysis? It’s going to be harder for you to be completely cured if you delay your treatment any longer.”
Chancing a glance at Matthew, Shane questioned, “Who is this?”
Rachel replied with a smile, “He’s my chauffeur.”
Shane’s expression darkened instantly. “What does he know? He’s just a driver. This isn’t facial paralysis. It’s referred to as facial nerve inflammation or facial nerve spasms. I’ve been receiving treatment, but it can’t possibly be cured overnight.”
Just then, Jeffrey chimed in, “Mr. Wright, that isn’t exactly the case. This guy here is decent in traditional medicine, you see. Perhaps he could heal your condition right away.”
Jeffrey was well aware that facial nerve inflammation was extremely daunting to treat, so he deliberately put Matthew in a tough spot to have him make a fool of himself.
“Really?” Shane looked astonished. “Forgive my skepticism, but can traditional medicine really cure facial nerve
inflammation?”
Matthew nodded. “Yes, and it’s very effective. Just like what Jeffrey said, you’ll be cured immediately after the treatment.” Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Little did Jeffrey expect Matthew to go along with it. He assumed it was merely luck when Matthew successfully cured a patient at the hospital previously.
Shane’s case was different. He’d been receiving treatment for a month with no success, and traditional medicine was well known for its delayed–onset efficacy.
Jeffrey didn’t believe traditional medicine could be this remarkable.
“Mr. Wright, why don’t you let him try? If he fails, it will prove that traditional medicine is just feudal superstition. You can proceed to remove them from your pharmacies after this.”
