Chapter 217
Matthew was confused. Why did Austin show up?
The prescriptions Matthew had provided would alleviate Austin's symptoms immediately. So, why would he pay a visit so early? Could it be that the medicine wasn't working? Feeling puzzled, Matthew went upstairs with Rachel.
On their way there, Rachel continued fuming. "Stay out of company matters from now on, Matthew. You have no idea how business works, and you're just making things worse for me." Matthew felt speechless. "I have retrieved the 50 million dollars, Rachel. How am I giving you trouble?"
Rachel shook her head. "Don't you see? Austin is here to stir up trouble. Even paying 60 million dollars can't fix this."
When they were chatting, they soon entered the office.
Upon seeing Austin, Rachel enthusiastically greeted him, "I'm so sorry, Mr. Stanford Senior. Our employees were out of line and upset you."
Austin fixed his gaze on Matthew all the while. Upon hearing Rachel's words, he quickly explained, "You've got it wrong, Ms. Carter. I'm here to apologize because I shouldn't have taken your money. If you need anything in the future, feel free to ask. I'll do everything I can."
Rachel gawked at Austin in surprise. What happened? Why had Austin's attitude suddenly changed?
Austin let go of Rachel's hand and approached Matthew. "Thanks, Mr. Grant. My symptoms are getting much better today."
Matthew was baffled. Why would Austin come so early to thank him? It was too unusual. There had to be another reason.
"No need for thanks. Just get to the point."
With a troubled look, Austin hesitated before replying, "Sheldon is coming after me. I need your help."
Matthew walked over to the couch and sat down. "Aren't you the top dog of the medical industry in Lambda City? Do you really need my help?"
Austin shook his head. "That was in
the past. Since the Smith family showed up in Lambda City, they founded the Pharmaceutical Association outside of the existing medical associations. novelbin

now."
Rachel had no time to be happy with Austin showing friendly gestures before hearing this news. The smile on her face faded, and she became worried. Upon hearing that, Matthew knew Sheldon would come looking for trouble again. Unfortunately, he didn't feel like helping Austin. "I can't help you." Austin sighed and said dejectedly, "In fact, Sheldon isn't only coming after me. I heard he is plotting against the Carter family."
Rachel's phone rang, and she picked up the call. "Hello, Rachel speaking."
A man's voice came through the phone. "The Pharmaceutical Association is holding a meeting today. Are you attending?"
The Pharmaceutical Association? Rachel glanced at Austin. Just as they were talking about it, the association approached her. Knowing Sheldon was behind this, Rachel became more wary. "What meeting?"
The
person on the phone was firm. "The meeting is about the new medical technology in Lambda City to provide better healthcare for the people, Everyone in the medical sector must attend, or they won't considered part of this initiative."
Rachel understood the gravity of the matter. "I'll be there. Where's the meeting?
