Chapter 348

Everyone was shocked because they did not expect that Matthew would hit him again under such circumstances.

“Matthew!” Crystal cried out angrily. “H-Have you lost your mind? How dare you hit him again? Do you really think that I wouldn’t dare to throw you out of here?”

“Aren’t you going to ask me why I beat him up?” he asked calmly.

Furious, Crystal shouted, “Why should I ask you that? Do I even need to? You’re in the wrong for striking him! Matthew, apologize to him this instant and if he forgives you, we can let this matter rest!”

Matthew knitted his brows, thinking about how conceited Crystal was.

Seeing how the matter had blown up, Ellie chipped in hurriedly, “Miss Harrison, t-this is all my fault. Let m-me apologize to that man. Sir, I’m really sorry. Please be the bigger person and d-don’t mind us. I’m begging you, please let us off…”

Scrambling to get up, the man in glasses lashed out, “No way! Listen carefully. I’ll never forgive you for what you did this time! Crystal, you have to give me a satisfactory answer or else I’ll inform Dr. Ellis that he can save his trip here! I would like to see how you can go on with the conference without him!”

“What’s your relationship with Dr. Ellis?” Annie asked anxiously.

With a smug face, he snorted, “Even though Dr. Ellis is a family friend, I address him as Uncle Ellis!”

“What?!” the crowd gushed in shock.

Crystal’s face turned pale; Dr. Ellis was the key figure of this conference and many were here solely for him.

If he was not coming, then the conference would be cancelled.

Throwing Matthew a furious glare, she fumed silently, This is a huge mess!

“H-How would you like to resolve this issue, then?” she asked politely.

The man twisted his face into a snarl. “You want me to forgive him? I will if you tell him to kneel down and kowtow in apology!”

He’s going overboard! Crystal thought with tightly knitted brows.

“You can’t do it, can you?” he said arrogantly. “Cut the crap if you can’t do it! Today, either he gets down on his knees or I’ll send my uncle home! The decision is yours!”

The crowd began clamoring again.

“Since he has the guts to beat him up, then he should bear the consequences. So what if he has to kowtow? Isn’t it normal for people in the bottom of society to do that?”

“Yeah, that girl did that earlier as well, so she can simply do the same again!”

“Miss Harrison, we’ll be greatly disappointed if you can’t even take care of this situation. If Dr. Ellis’

nephew is leaving, then we’ll leave with him!”

“Exactly, we’ll all leave and ruin the conference if this matter is not resolved!”

The crowd created a racket to threaten Crystal and they were all targeting Matthew, trying to force him to go down on his knees and kowtow.

Looking at Matthew with a grim face, Crystal’s gaze gradually turned firm as she said, “Matthew, clean up your own mess! Kowtow and apologize to him, and we can forget about this!”

The situation made Ellie panic and she interrupted, “Miss Harrison, this is all my fault. Let me be the one to kowtow. I—”

Before she could finish, Matthew pulled her to stand behind him and scoffed, “Crystal Harrison, I’ll repeat myself one last time.

If it wasn’t for the fact that you’re Mr. Harrison’s granddaughter, you’re not even qualified to speak with me! What gives you the right to ask me to kowtow to him?”

Crystal was so infuriated that she almost suffered a stroke. “You’re too arrogant, Matthew!” she riled.

“Don’t think that you can do as you please because my grandfather is backing you up. If the medical conference is ruined because of you, you won’t be able to bear the consequences!”
