Chapter 51
Leah immediately approached the group upon seeing their arrival. She recognized Tracy instantly. “You said your boss would come today. Where is your boss?” Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
Rachel stepped forward. “I’m the president of Wealthwave Group. You can talk to me.”
Leah grabbed Rachel’s arm and cried loudly. “Your medicine harmed my husband! You must save him. Without him, our family is finished,” she wailed.
Rachel felt distressed as she watched Leah cry. Just as she was about to offer some comforting words, Jeffrey stepped in front of Leah and roared, “Stop crying! This is not the time for mourning”
Leah was infuriated by the word “mourning“. She gritted her teeth and said, “What are you saying? My husband isn’t dead yet!”
Jeffrey coldly replied, “In his current state, he’s as good as dead.
“If you give up on treatment, we’ll compensate you with one million dollars. If you choose to continue treatment, we won’t be responsible, and you won’t get a penny.”
Rachel frowned. During the meeting, they had agreed on two million dollars because of the three children.
The additional compensation was to help the family live better and to prevent further trouble.
She wasn’t afraid of giving more money. However, she was concerned about the new medicine’s reputation.
The damage would be significant if the medicine’s value for improvement was lost.
Jeffrey had disrupted her plan. She was about to speak up.
At that moment, Leah cried, “You’re forcing my husband to die! Are you even human? How could you do this? you
must continue his treatment!”
Jeffrey’s expression turned colder. “If you choose to continue treatment, then we’ll have to go to court, I suspect your husband had an underlying condition, and it’s not our drug’s fault. In the end, you won’t get a penny!”
Leah was almost driven to madness. She screamed, “You’re forcing my husband to die! You won’t let us live! Get out, all of you! I’ll take you to court. There must be justice somewhere!”
Matthew could no longer stand by and do nothing. “Let me handle this!”
He had been present the whole time. Jeffrey’s harsh approach was unbearable. In fact, it was blatant bullying; he was forcing the family to accept his terms.
“You?” dollars?”
Jeffrey sneered. “What qualifications do you have as a driver? Can you negotiate a price lower than a million
Matthew firmly replied, “Yes, and it would definitely be lower than the price you negotiated.”
Jeffrey looked at Matthew as if he were an idiot.
The one–million–dollar figure was the lowest his team had calculated. Matthew’s bold claim made Jeffrey angrily scoff. “If you can negotiate lower than a million dollars, then I’ll admit I’ve underestimated you.”
Matthew pointed at Jeffrey. “I will prove you wrong! In fact, I can settle this without spending a penny.”
What did he just say?
Jeffrey’s eyes widened. This fool must be mad, claiming he could resolve it without spending anything. This wasn’t just bragging; it was outright lunacy.
Jeffrey was eager to see Matthew humiliate himself. He said, “Go ahead and negotiate with her. I want to see what you can do to resolve this without spending a penny.”
Matthew was aware of Jeffrey’s intentions. He raised an eyebrow and said, “Alright, let me show you how I handle it.”
As he spoke, he made his way toward Leah. He wanted to use this incklent to make Jeffrey give up on Rachel once and for all
Seeing this, Rachel grabbed Matthew’s arm. “Can you not make things worse?”
She was already greatly disappointed by Jeffrey’s approach. James‘ family would never agree to a compensation of one million dollars. They would definitely file a lawsult.
If this escalated, the new medicine’s reputation and even Wealthwave Group would be affected.
She was already overwhelmed. Now, Matthew was claiming that he could resolve it without spending a penny.
She was genuinely worried.
Matthew was surprised that Rachel had stopped him. “Don’t stop me. I can really handle this. Just wait for the results,
he said reassuringly.
Signs of anger appeared on Rachel’s usually icy face. “How will you handle it? Stop interfering. If this continues, Wealthwave Group will be ruined because of you.”
