Chapter 62
Rachel knew that Matthew had a criminal record, so if the police were involved, things would escalate quickly.
Deep down, she blamed Matthew for being impulsive. But she couldn’t worry about that now.
She hurriedly stepped forward to stop the security guards. She said, “Don’t call the police. Let’s get him treated first, and we will compensate for the damages. Let’s discuss this in private.”
Matthew intervened, “Rachel, don’t stop them. Let them call the police.”
Rachel was stunned. She was trying to calm things down, but Matthew was fanning the flames! She was so furious that she glared at him. She said, “Can you stop talking?”
Mike was also confused. He was unsure why Matthew insisted on calling the police.
The guard who had dialed 911 hesitated because he didn’t know what to say next.
Matthew continued, “After calling the police, don’t forget to notify Lambda News. Let them interview everyone here. Tell them that Mike said he would renounce his PhD title if I could revive the patient.
“I revived the patient, yet he’s still clinging to his title. Let the media judge and condemn him for breaking his word.
“Also let them mention that a doctor with a PhD is less skilled than someone who hasn’t even been to medical school.
What use is there in a doctor like him?”
Rachel suddenly understood Matthew’s strategy, so she stepped back and stayed silent.
With the strange look, the doctors and guards in the room all turned their gazes to Mike.
Mike realized the potential consequences and felt a chill down his spine. If this news got out, his reputation as a PhD- holder would be in ruins.
Such a scandalous story would quickly spread nationwide, making him infamous.
Seeing the guard still talking to the police and providing the address, Mike quickly snatched the phone.
He said, “I’m the doctor who was attacked. It’s nothing serious, so I don’t blame him. We’ll handle it privately. Thank you. Goodbye.”
Facing a lifetime of disgrace or some temporary physical pain, he knew which one was worse.
Rachel breathed a sigh of relief as she was glad the situation hadn’t escalated further.
Seeing this, Matthew took out his phone and said, “If you don’t call the police, I will”
Was he crazy? Things had just calmed down, so Rachel was baffled by Matthew’s actions.
The doctors and guards were also astonished because they didn’t know why he wanted to call the police. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
Seeing Matthew dialing the number, Mike grabbed his hand and pleaded, “Please don’t call the police. It’s all my fault. My medical skills are not as good as yours, I apologize.
“I’ve refunded the money and asked for the article to be retracted, but the reporter refused. If you want, you can talk to him. His name is Evan Whitaker, and he is from Lambda News.”
Rachel noted the important information in Mike’s words. He had agreed to retract the false statements, but Evan was unwilling to retract the article.
It seemed Matthew had accomplished something.
Compared to her and Tracy, who had achieved nothing, but frustration, Matthew had managed to get Mike to retract his statements and even apologize after a beating without taking any responsibility.
In comparison, she and Tracy appeared to be useless!
She felt a bit guilty for scolding Matthew.
Matthew was satisfied with Mike’s response because Mike had provided some useful information.
The man’s name was Evan Whitaker, and he was a reporter from Lambda News.
“Good. You know what you’re doing.”
After nodding to Rachel, they left together.
Mike was still uneasy, so he followed them out of the office. He said, “Let me see you off.”
He trotted and followed Matthew out of the doctor’s office. He covered his beaten face as he begged, “Please, Dr. Grant, don’t let the media know about this. I’m begging you!”
Tracy felt even more furious as she stood by the elevator.
Thinking of Matthew had caused trouble and that Rachel had to clean up his mess, she was even more angry.
After waiting for so long without seeing the two of them, Tracy took out her phone to ask Rachel what was going on.
Just as she found Rachel’s number, she saw Matthew coming around the corner. He was followed by Mike, whose face was badly beaten.
Mike was repeatedly pleading, “I’m sorry for what happened today. Please don’t hold it against me. Please…”
