Son-in-Law Is a Medical Genius

Chapter 296

Looking affronted, Casey complained, “Mr. Larson, I really can’t stand it anymore. I transferred you to

this department because I thought you were a superb doctor who would be able to strengthen and

expand this newly-established department of the hospital. But I really can’t see what they are trying to

do by repeatedly accusing me of bribery. They are bringing this too far by throwing mud at me all the

damn time. Is it because they think I am a pushover? There’s a limit to one’s tolerance no matter how

good-tempered one is! If I can’t clear my name today, how am I going to continue my career here?”

Helen sneered, “Hmph, you phrased it so well. Did you just say Matthew was a superb doctor? What

does he know about medicine? You only said so because you wanted to cover up the fact that you took

a bribe from us! Bah, if he were a superb doctor, I would be the reincarnation of Hippocrates! Now, I

finally realize that all of you working at the hospital are just a bunch of shameless people. You guys are

capable of spinning the story as long as it suits your purpose!”

Her comment sent the crowd outside into an uproar at once because many of them were offended and

everyone was annoyed.

Casey went livid with rage because of her comment. “Y-You claimed that I took the bribe, didn’t you?

Very well, do you have proof? Without proof, what you said is a slanderous remark!”

Helen yelled like a mad woman, “That wasn’t a slanderous remark! Fine, you want to argue your way

out of this, don’t you? Great, let us make a pledge to God now. Point your fingers toward the sky and

pledge that you didn’t take the money. If you did take the money, all your family members will die!

Come on, make the pledge now!”

Casey was so angry that his face reddened. “Do you think I’m scared? I can make the pledge but you

must repeat that slanderous remark you just made. I will record it and call the police in case you refuse

to admit it later on!”

Exasperated, Helen demanded, “Liam, you tell him! Ask him loudly and clearly whether he took your

money or not! Then, describe how you offered the money to him, how he accepted it and how he got

the job done! Spare no details and tell everyone!”

Liam was so stunned that he nearly puked blood. Do you actually want me to describe the bribery I

committed while what I say will be recorded by Casey? Nothing will happen to him after he makes that

pledge but I will be deemed as making a slanderous remark by accusing him of bribery. If the situation

escalates, I might be arrested and detained by the police! You’re really smart by making me a

scapegoat for the trouble you created, huh!

“Mom, why are you wasting time fighting with this guy? Forget it if he doesn’t want to admit taking the

money. Just pretend that we gave the money to a beggar. He might not be worried about the possibility

of losing all his family members but we have to think for ourselves, right?” Liam muttered.

Casey was boiling with rage and he smacked the table before saying, “Who the hell are you alluding All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

to? Say it to my face again! I’ve never been bullied this way in all the years I’ve worked here! Mr.

Larson, I tried to tolerate them for your sake but they are bringing this too far! If I don’t call the police to

clear my name today, I-I’ll kill myself here by knocking my head against the wall!” While Casey was

shouting, he fished out his phone.

Both Helen and Liam went panic-stricken at once because they would be in a huge mess if Casey

really called the police.

Although Casey really did take their money, they did not have any proof to show that.

On top of that, they gave him cash instead of transferring the money to him electronically. Without any

voice recording or video to prove the bribery, how were they going to sue him?

However, they couldn’t avoid being charged with defamation because all the onlookers outside had

heard how they accused Casey of bribery just now.

Liam shot a look at Helen.

Helen spoke immediately, “I can’t be bothered to argue with a rat like you anymore. Forget it, I’m

visiting the restroom.” With that, she walked out of the room directly.

Liam stretched and said, “I’m going to take a cigarette break.” He too left the room after Helen.

It was only then did Casey sense that something was fishy. “Locate them and stop them from running

away!” he ordered immediately.

By the time the security officers dashed out of the room, Helen and Liam were seen running away from

the room at lightning speed and it was already too late for the security officers to reach them.

As for James and Demi, they made use of the time when the security officers were away to flee the

scene.

At last, only Matthew and Sasha were left in the room.

Looking apologetic, Sasha said, “Matthew, I’m sorry. I didn’t know they would come here to create a

scene. I haven’t been telling them anything that’s happening in Cunningham Pharmaceuticals and I

wonder where they got the news about the loan.”

In a solemn tone, Matthew queried, “Sasha, why didn’t you tell me what happened to the company?”

Sasha first let out a sigh in resignation before she explained, ’Matthew, you’ve already done so much

for the company. As the president, it’s my obligation to handle the company’s problem on my own. I

can’t always rely on you whenever I face an issue because you are busy building your own career as

well. Even though I can’t be a wife who can offer you help, I mustn’t be a burden to you!”

Matthew lamented, “Sasha, I know you did this for my sake but you have to remember that we are a

married couple, and we are each other’s dearest person. We are supposed to face all the problems in

life together and no one is a burden to the other. As husband and wife, shouldn’t we support and help

each other if we want to make our lives better?”

Tears welled up in Sasha’s eyes as she muttered, “Matthew, thank you very much. You know what?

Meeting you is the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me!”

Touched by her confession, he held her hands and responded in a gentle voice, “You don’t have to

thank me for the things I do for you, and you don’t have to worry about the company’s crisis because I

will be able to settle everything soon. What you need to do now is to repay the loan you just took.”

Sasha shook her head immediately and insisted, “No way! You need the investment and I have to help

you in any case. I won’t repay the loan. It’s already approved anyway.”

Matthew reassured her with a smile, “Sasha, you don’t have to worry about me. In fact, I’ve already

gathered enough money because I’ve found myself a lot of investors.”

Sasha was stunned for a few seconds before she exclaimed, “That’s all the more reason for me to

invest in you! If others trust you, shouldn’t I trust you even more?”
