Son-in-Law Is a Medical Genius novel Chapter 432

Crystal had her fair share of boyfriends back in her schooling days. Therefore, she could tell what Steven was trying to do at a glance. Even if this was in the past, she wouldn’t have been attracted to somebody like him no matter how many boyfriends she had. Moreover, she had changed a lot after what happened the last time. At the very least, she now knew what it was she was looking for. Thus, she refused him politely, “I’m sorry, but I still have work to do.”

Steven looked slightly embarrassed, but he immediately said, “Miss Harrison, how could you be doing such menial tasks? Matthew, how could you make Miss Harrison wipe the tables?! Can’t you do such stuff yourself?! Miss Harrison, give him the cloth. He can do it on his own!”

Joseph and the director had deliberately and strongly suppressed the information on what had happened to Matthew at the hospital previously. Hence, not many people knew about the incident involving Timothy Wayne. For that reason, most of the people within the hospital were unaware of Matthew’s current situation. Rather, they assumed that he had obtained his position through his connections, especially after James and Helen came to the hospital to kick up a ruckus. Since that incident, everybody at the hospital looked down on him even more. Moreover, people like Tristan and Steven had never even considered Matthew to be their equals from the beginning. They came from excellent families and were a great catch themselves. So, why on earth would they think highly of a rumored useless live-in son-in-law?

Matthew frowned slightly. I’m not stopping you from courting Crystal. But, you come to my department and order me about. Do you think that I’m working for you?

Meanwhile, Crystal frowned too. “Dr. Newton, Matthew is the director of our department. How can I allow him to do such menial tasks? Besides, these tasks are part of my duties. If you have no business here, I would like you to leave. Please don’t interfere in the daily operations of our department!”

Steven looked very embarrassed. He had never been humiliated in this manner before whenever he courted girls in the past. Still, he didn’t dare to lash out at her. So, he could only direct his anger toward Matthew. “Director Larson, as far as I am aware, the nurses at our hospital don’t need to do any cleaning for you! Did you think that you can take advantage of Miss Harrison’s naïvete and bully her just because she is a recent graduate? Is that why you pushed such hard labor on her? Do you actually consider yourself a director?! Hmph; have you forgotten? Not too long ago, you were just a janitor cleaning the toilets at the hospital! So what if you found yourself a rich wife? Did you think you can assert your newfound authority just because your in-laws bribed the hospital to make you a director? I’m telling you. This is the hospital; it’s not your home! I don’t care about how you sponge off your wife at home, or how you act all high and mighty at home. The hospital has its own rules! Making Miss Harrison clean for you is going against those rules! Apologize to Miss Harrison immediately, and I’ll graciously pretend that this never happened. Otherwise… Hmph; believe it or not, I’ll get you kicked out of the hospital!”

Upon hearing those words, Matthew scowled. This guy sure is vicious. He doesn’t hesitate to insult me just to hook up with Crystal. Besides, what does he mean about cleaning the toilets, or bribing, or sponging off my wife? If it were a newcomer who didn’t know me, she would immediately find me despicable. Moreover, how could he say that I’m picking on the newcomer by making her do menial tasks? Isn’t he openly trying to sow discord? Then, he smiled superficially as he glanced at Steven. “Are you trying to create trouble?”

Steven’s expression changed greatly. “Who do you think you’re talking to? Do you know who I am—”

Matthew waved his hand dismissively. “I don’t care who you are! This is my department! Get out!”

Furious, Steven was about to lose his temper when Crystal spoke up suddenly, “The director has asked you to leave! Didn’t you hear him? Besides, I’m willingly doing these tasks! Who are you to butt in? Dr. Newton, I’m saying this again—please, leave! Don’t disrupt the daily operations of our department!”

Then, Steven was completely stunned. What is going on? I was speaking on her behalf. Moreover, I told Matthew off for her too. Why is she angry at me? Why is she defending this useless b*stard?!
