chapter 14 One person does things and one person is responsible

"What are you doing? William Chen, do you know how big of a mess you've caused this time? Are you trying to drag down the Chen family?"
Tyler Chen's face was as dark as charcoal. After coming out of the living room, he stared at Matthew Zhao, wishing to tear him apart. It was this guy who shamelessly deceived Young Master Luo and brainwashed my daughter. He's nothing but a swindler from the Jiang State.
"Dad, don't get yourself worked up."
William Chen first comforted his infuriated father, then lowered his voice and said to Matthew Zhao, "Don't say a word, understand?"
Matthew Zhao was a man of few words. If he let slip anything else, he might end up fainting his father.
"Alright, for the sake of my wife's face," Matthew Zhao said with a slight smile. William Chen was referring to not revealing their relationship in front of outsiders, but this was at home, so it needed to be disclosed.
William Chen shot Matthew Zhao a stern look, then walked in front of his old man and said, "Dad, let's talk privately."
"Keep an eye on this guy."
Tyler Chen instructed the family's bodyguards to watch over Matthew Zhao, then went to talk to William Chen in a different corner.
"Dad, although Matthew Zhao doesn't have much background, he's just a doctor, but his character is much better than Ethan Luo's. Didn't you also say that a man being a bit poor is okay? What matters is ambition, integrity, and a drive to succeed," William Chen said seriously. "Furthermore, Matthew Zhao is the doctor from Jing City that Grandpa invited. He hasn't even cured Grandpa yet. If you do this, it won't sit well with Grandpa. You were the one who called me before and told me to get along with Matthew Zhao. Are you going to turn your back on him so quickly? You can't be like this."
Tyler Chen's expression grew even darker. He had called William Chen and Matthew Zhao to get along before because the old man had said Matthew Zhao had some background and wasn't just a penniless guy.
But when he heard that person from the Luo family had become a high-ranking figure in the bank, he weighed his options. To truly take control of the Chen family, William Chen needed to marry Ethan Luo. A marriage alliance between the two families would elevate their status with the help of the Luo family's power.
"That was before," Tyler Chen sneered. He stared at Matthew Zhao with intensity. "A penniless guy like him isn't suitable for you. As for your grandpa's illness, I have a friend who knows a very capable famous doctor in Jing City. He'll be coming soon to treat your grandpa."
Besides, Tyler Chen remained skeptical about Matthew Zhao's claim to be able to treat the old man's stomach cancer. These days, there were too many fraudulent traditional Chinese medicine practitioners.
Matthew Zhao was the nonchalant type.
"Son, are you serious?"
William Chen was speechless. His father changed his mind so quickly.
"To accomplish big things, you have to be ruthless," Tyler Chen advised, "you're too soft-hearted. There are so many people eyeing your position as the president of the Chen family. If you make one wrong move, you'll lose everything."
"Dad," William Chen said slowly, "my current position is something I earned through my own abilities. If someone else has the capability and skills to surpass me, then they can bring me down."
"You, you're still too young," Tyler Chen shook his head. Capability and skills were one thing, but now it was about strategy and background.
"As for Matthew Zhao, here's the deal: I'll send him to apologize to the Luo family. I can guarantee that he won't die."
Tyler Chen continued.
As for those who were already missing limbs, that was a different matter altogether.
"Send him to apologize to the Luo family?"
William Chen chuckled. It seemed like his father truly thought Matthew Zhao was just a traditional Chinese doctor.
This guy concealed his abilities and was extremely ruthless.
Especially in the restaurant, he was definitely not an ordinary person.
She explained to Matthew Zhao, "Dad, it was Ethan Luo who started the threat first. Matthew Zhao acted in self-defence. He didn't intentionally injure Ethan Luo."
"If you don't get a marriage certificate with Matthew Zhao, and if you don't update your social media, Ethan Luo will bring people over?" Tyler Chen sneered even more. "You're making a big fuss. In any case, Matthew Zhao must go to the Luo family."
At this moment, the villa's gate opened, and a car pulled in.
As soon as the car stopped, an angry woman got out.
William Chen's mother—Emily Li.
As soon as she got out of the car, Emily Li started berating, "William, you've really disappointed me. Do you have any regard for me as your mother? You handed over this poor boy without my consent. Have you gone mad?"
"And you, as soon as I saw you, I knew you weren't just an unlucky star. You must have bewitched William into marrying you. You wretch, you're trying to harm our Chen family!"
"I've received word that the head of the Luo family has already sent someone. You can't run away."
"Get him on the car, we're going to the Luo family now," Emily Li waved her hand decisively.
"Mom."
William Chen stood in front of Matthew Zhao with both hands, protecting him, and said anxiously, "If Matthew Zhao is really taken to the Luo family, he'll definitely be beaten to death by the Luo family. Everyone should bear the consequences of their actions. I'll go apologize to the Luo family right now."
