NovelEnglishChapter 1598
Tristan wanted to retort when one of the old men said, "Rowan's right. It takes years for one to accumulate one's
medical knowledge. Looking at Matthew, he looks to be in his early twenties. Even if he had been studying
medicine ever since he was in his mother's womb, that would only be twenty years. On the other hand, Dr.
Huntington had been studying medicine for more than fifty years. Just the years of his practice were even longer
than Matthew's entire life. There is just no comparing someone like Matthew to Dr. Huntington."
The other family members nodded in agreement.
However, Tristan wore a twisted expression. He was but one man, so he couldn't win an argument against this
many people. "Uncle Rowan, even if we're asking Dr. Huntington for his help, there is no need for us to go
against Matthew, is there? We should be safe rather than sorry here. At the very least, we should have an
alternative course of action, right? If we go too far with our actions here, how will we ask Matthew for his help in

Rowan slammed the table. "Another way? Look atand tellthat they have chosen the alternative course
of action here! You're askingnot to go too far, yet just look at what they did. Injuringin public is akin to
them slapping the Cosby Family in our face! If we don't make them pay for this, others would think that our
family is afraid of him! | can bear with my reputation being damaged, but | won't allow the reputation of our
family to be tarnished!"
Although Rowan made it sound as though he was acting for the family, everyone knew that his anger was due to
him having his reputation ruined.
At this point, Tristan could only sigh as he knew that Rowan had already set his heart on this course of action and
that no amount of persuading would make him change his mind. Besides, the crowd shared the ssentiment
with Rowan as well. They could only vent their anger on Matthew rather than Phoenix since they were no match
for the latter.
With the crowd going into a discussion on what to do, Tristan simply went to the side and stayed silent the entire
time. Although he resented Matthew, Matthew did tell him about the method to save his grandfather, which was
why he was reluctant in going against him right here and now. Nevertheless, he was powerless in persuading the
people here from doing so and could only remain silent.
It was only when Rowan was satisfied with the discussion did he send everyone back to the launch event.
Coming out of the room, Tristan saw Zoey pouting with a displeased look by the entrance. "Why are you here?
Weren't you planning to go after Phoenix?" he asked, curious.
Zoey looked livid. "Don't mention that nin front of me!"
Surprised by her outburst, Tristan inquired, "What's wrong? Did he bully you?"
Zoey gritted her teeth and said angrily, "That scoundrel actually toldto get bigger before going after him! J-
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJust how am | small?" Saying that, she puffed her chest out as though she was trying to prove she wasn't small.
Tristan burst out in laughter. It was the first the saw Zoey so defeated at the hands of a man. Then, he
explained with a smile, "He's not saying that you're small, but that you're immature." "Who are you calling
immature? You're the immature one!" Zoey grew furious.
"Hey, it wasn'twho said that. It was Phoenix."
"That scoundrel... J-Just who does he think he is to callimmature?" Zoey was peeved.
Tristan shook his head while laughing as he went downstairs.
Meanwhile, the members of the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale had arrived at the event. As the event was
about to begin, those who were interested in the event were also at the scene.
Standing among the crowd, Matthew saw many familiar faces-Dr. Ellis from Eastshire and Leonard the
Acupuncturist from Mightwater, to na few. Several other famous doctors from different states were there as
well.
