Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew)
Chapter 496

Leo stared at Matthew. "No way. Matthew, y-your wife is the president? Then, why were you cleaning the toilets at the hospital?"

Julian scoffed. "Who said that? He's a department director at the hospital! He's also responsible for a lot of projects at the company, including appointing the company president.

Leo, if you want to work with our company, shouldn't you have a good understanding of the situation in our company first? It's because of this half-hearted attitude of yours that the department manager doesn't want to work with you!"

They all fell into dead silence as they kept their eyes trained on Leo.

Who would have expected things to turn out this way?

Leo also looked disorientated. At the time, he had seen Matthew clean the toilets with his own eyes. How did this happen?

After a brief silence, Leo quickly tried to justify himself, "Matthew, the truth is-"

Matthew brushed him off. "Let's eat. I don't want to talk about work."

Leo was so flustered that he was unable to say a word. Feeling out of place, his face also turned sour.

He was certain that the project was a failure now.

Matthew was surely going to give those who mocked him tonight a hard time.

With a bitter look on his face, Leo went back to his place and sat down. His whole table was silent, except for Matthew, Julian, and Ed, who were still engaged in conversation with each other.

Grace and a few others thought about going over countless times to say a few words, but no one paid any attention to them, leaving them feeling awkward.

Elaine wanted to join in with Julian, but seeing how things were going, she knew that it was hopeless now and gave up.

She could not help but feel enraged as she watched Matthew talking and laughing cheerfully.

People were strange animals. She never hoped that a man whom she had rejected in the past would do better than her.

Otherwise, wouldn't that prove that she made the wrong choice?

Suddenly, she said, "What is he trying to show off? Even if you're rich, you still live under someone else's roof. That shows that some people are good at just that. Someone else's company; someone else's business. Does it have anything to do with him? He's pretending to be successful with someone else's assets. Bah! The sight of him disgusts me!"

Because the others were also discontented, they started to echo her words.

With a fierce look on her face, Grace scoffed, "Marrying well can save a person many years of struggle. Look at Matthew. He married into such a good family that made him into a member of the upper-class. Who would have thought that back in our school days, he was an unqualified piece of trash?"

Everyone started laughing.

The expression on Julian's face changed. "What did you say, Grace?"

She had a slight fear for Julian before, but that was because they were trying to curry favor with him.

Now that that was out of the picture, she did not care anymore.

Without backing down, she continued, "What? Am I wrong? Out of so many people in our class, no, out of so many people in our school, he was the first person I heard of that became a live-in son-in-law. What century are we living in now?

How can there still be someone who does such undignified things? However, if he intends on throwing his pride away, he would be able to succeed very easily. There's just one thing that I don't get. Matthew, is your wife so ugly that nobody wants her, or is she blind? Why would she marry someone like you?"

There was an uproar of laughter. Leo glanced at Matthew. "Do you even need to ask? She's definitely ugly! Otherwise, out of all the people who would be lining up to be her live-in son-in-law, how was he chosen?"
