The Great Medical Saint (Matthew) novel Chapter 686

Joshua's career was over, his future completely ruined.

In a panic, Joshua apologized to Cedric on the phone in a panic. "Mr. Moore, I'm so sorry! I was dizzy just now and said nonsense. Please don't take it to heart."

Cedric scoffed coldly. "Joshua, you're just a lowly office director. Yet, you act so high and mighty. You claimed that you have connections everywhere, even threatening to have me arrested.

"It's a good thing I saw it for myself today. I'll be launching an investigation to uncover just how much dirt you've been hiding."

Joshua felt like he had been struck by lightning. His legs went weak as the truth hit him as there was no way he could survive an investigation.

"Please, Mr. Moore, I'm begging you…"

Before he could finish, Matthew turned the phone screen back toward Cedric and said, "I'll leave this matter to you. That's all. I'm hanging up now."

Cedric had more to say, but the call had already ended. He immediately reached for his desk phone and began making arrangements to investigate Joshua.

When the call ended, Joshua hurriedly grabbed Matthew by the arm. "I'll have Tobby apologize to Lorraine. I'll cover the medical costs for the scratches, ten times, or even a hundred times the amount! Please, I beg you, speak to Mr. Moore on my behalf!"

Matthew's eyes flashed coldly as he responded. "You want me to plead for you? Have you lost your mind?"

Joshua's face stiffened, but he pushed on. "You wanted an apology—we'll apologize!"

Matthew's voice was icy. "It was too late for that! I don't want Tobby's apology. What I want is to watch you go to jail."

Joshua's face went pale, and his hope drained. He looked like a wilting flower, knowing exactly what he had done. If they started digging into his misbehavior, he wouldn't even make it to prison as he'd face something worse.

Joshua's legs gave out, and he collapsed to his knees in front of Matthew. "Please, Matthew, I'm an office director, and I'm now begging you on my knees—just let me go this time!"

Matthew ignored him, scooping Lorraine into his arms and taking Lillian's hand.
