The Great Medical Saint novel Chapter 360

However, compared to the Wood family, the Carters were much weaker.

In a daze, Rachel bid Matthew farewell and returned home.

Seeing her return, Fred rushed over. "What happened? Weren't you supposed to be negotiating a deal? How did it turn into a conflict? You've caused a huge problem this time!"

Rachel recounted the events of the meeting and ended with a sigh. "This time, it really wasn't Matthew's fault. Isaac went too far. He tried to take me away right in front of Matthew. No man would be able to tolerate that."

But…

Fred frowned deeply. He understood the situation and that Matthew's actions were justified.

"I'm not saying Matthew was wrong, but the issue is the Wood family's power. What if they are unreasonable? It won't just be our family that suffers, but Matthew's family could be dragged into this as well."

Rachel frowned, feeling indignant. "Why can't they be reasonable? He was too much!"

Fred laughed bitterly. "Reasonable? Only ordinary people are reasonable. Expecting the Woods to be reasonable is a joke. We may have money, but they have money, power, and guns. If they want to be unreasonable, what can you do?"

Rachel's worry amplified. "Grandpa, can't you use your connections to ask someone to mediate? We can afford to spend more money on this."

Fred shook his head. "I've already made some calls, but people are avoiding us like the plague. They made some excuses and hung up. When I tried calling back, their phones were turned off. They've already regarded us as pariahs and are afraid to get involved!"

Rachel gradually began to realize the gravity of the situation. "Then what should we do?"

At this moment, Fred's phone rang, and he glanced at the screen. Noticing it was an unfamiliar number, he frowned. "I don't even manage the company's affairs anymore. Who could be calling?"

He answered the call. "Hello, who's this?"
