Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew)
Chapter 1486

They were waiting for Matthew's answer, but no one expected that Adeline would be the first to object. Simultaneously, Landon and Aidan's expressions immediately fell, and the two looked at Adeline together. "What are you saying, Adeline?" Aidan asked furiously. If it weren't for Matthew's presence, he would've already lost his temper.

Similarly, Adeline was also extremely angry. She was the precious daughter of the Thatcher Family, and a top student in the medicine field. With her identity, she could join the family company as a vice president after she graduated at the very least. However, her father was now proposing to let her go to work in Matthew's pharmacy. Wasn't he just embarrassing her?

Still, she didn't dare to disobey her father, and whispered, "Dad, I... I haven't graduated yet... I plan to study for a few more years for the time being, and I'm not planning to get a job yet..."

Aidan retorted angrily, "For what? It's a blessing for you if Mr. Larson lets you work at his pharmacy. Since when did you have a say in this?" Adeline boiled with rage, but she gritted her teeth and kept quiet. Meanwhile, her irritation toward Matthew grew even more.

Aidan looked at Matthew with a flattering smile. "Mr. Larson, my daughter is just ignorant. Please don't take her words to heart. Over the years, we've spoiled her too much. Why don't you let her go to your pharmacy and help us discipline her?"

Matthew looked at Adeline intently before he said softly, "It's quite admirable for Miss Thatcher to want to further her studies. Master Thatcher, why would you force her otherwise?"

Aidan was still about to continue, but Landon stopped him with a look. He knew very well that Matthew's words meant that he had already refused, and if Aidan insisted, he would only be embarrassing himself. Next to them, Joel glanced at Adeline disdainfully. With his insight, he could naturally tell what Adeline had in mind, and he was fully aware that her so-called continuation of her studies was just an excuse, and she actually looked down on Matthew's pharmacy. He laughed inwardly. She had really missed a great opportunity!

After the dinner ended, the Thatcher Family saw Matthew and Joel out before they returned to the room.

As soon as Adeline entered, she stretched lazily and said impatiently, "Dad, can you stop making me participate in these things in the future? I hate these kinds of events the most! I don't even know those people, so why did you make me attend this dinner?"

At the sight of her attitude, Aidan suddenly burst with anger and raised his hand to slap her. "Shut up! Are you trying to piss me off?"

Adeline hurriedly dodged the slap, looking shocked. "Dad, w-what are you doing?"

Since she was a child, she had always been spoiled, and Aidan had never hit her.

Aidan was enraged as he repeated, "What am I doing? I'm going to teach you a lesson today!"

Adeline hurriedly backed away in fright. Thankfully, Landon walked in at that moment.

She quickly hid behind him. "Grandpa, look at Dad! I was just talking to him, but he... he tried to hit me... Say something to him. Why is he being so unreasonable?"

Landon waved him off, indicating for Aidan to return to his seat. He looked at Adeline, sighed, and shook his head slowly.

"Forget it. We've tried our best. As her parent, you've already done what you have to do. If she can't secure the opportunity herself, it's her own loss, and it isn't anyone else's fault," Landon said softly. Aidan sighed as well and slowly shook his head as he took a seat.

On the other hand, Adeline was indignant. "Grandpa, what are you saying? What do you mean, it's my loss? What did I do? H-How can you say that to me?"
