Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew)
Chapter 1601

With the man's words further fueling the crowd's outcry, everyone gave Crystal odd stares. The women looked at her with contemptuous eyes, while the men looked at her with ridicule and lust, as though she was a minx that didn't mind getting together with a married man.

Standing at a distance, the crown prince wore a stern expression and was about to step in when Phoenix stopped him. "Hold your horses. Let's wait and see what happens next."

The crown prince stayed silent at Phoenix's suggestion, as he assumed the latter might have a plan of his own.

Crystal's face was red from the crowd's insults. She was so irked her body trembled all over. "Don't make things up! It's because I'm displeased with Neverland Pharmaceuticals stealing Cunningham Pharmaceuticals' recipe that I'm even standing here. That's why... even in shame... I'm here speaking up for Cunningham Pharmaceuticals," she added in a hurry.

The man beside Daniel sneered, "Who do you think you are? Who gave you the right to speak for Cunningham Pharmaceuticals? Did you think that just because you're close with Matthew, you're qualified to speak up for Cunningham Pharmaceuticals? Let me remind you that Sasha Cunningham is the one who owns Cunningham Pharmaceuticals. You're only a shameless mistress at best. You're not qualified to speak for them!"

The crowd chimed in as well.

"My word! Are girls these days so shameless?"

"She really thinks of herself as the legal wife when she's only a mistress? She's trying to meddle with someone else's family affairs?"

"Hah, what else won't she do now that a woman like her is reduced to a mere mistress?"

"How can someone with such good looks act so shamelessly?"

"So unscrupulous. I'm sure it's because of the money.' "Really? With how pretty she is, maybe I should give her some money too?"

As the crowd's insults grew worse, Crystal was close to tears.

Matthew frowned deeply and was about to step in.

However, Gregory spoke up first. "You're Joseph Harrison's granddaughter, Crystal Harrison, am I right? I remember you. There was a time when your grandfather brought you here to Stonedale to visit me. Ah how innocent of a child you were back then. It's really lamentable to see just what kind of person you've turned out to be. However, you should mind what you say, even if you are the granddaughter of Joseph. Today is a joyous day for Neverland Pharmaceuticals, yet here you are accusing us of stealing from Cunningham Pharmaceuticals. This is an act of slander! I have already made it clear that Neverland Pharmaceuticals will take legal action against those who slander us!"

His last sentence was spoken with a cold tone, as though he was truly angered by Crystal.

The crowd joined in once more. "That's right! She should be tried by the law!"

"So what if she's Joseph's granddaughter? Does that give her the right to simply accuse someone?"

"Young people don't know how big the world is. It's ridiculous to see someone using their family's reputation just to act recklessly in public!"

"Hmph! Who even cares about Joseph Harrison? That man only has a reputation in Eastcliff. Would anyone even know who he is outside of Eastcliff?"

"How dare she slander Dr. Huntington! We should have your grandfather here to kneel and beg for forgiveness!"

As the crowd continued their uproar, members of the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale gradually surrounded Crystal.

One of the men looked at Crystal coldly and said, "Miss Harrison, we have allowed you entry to the event out of respect for your grandfather. However, you have repeatedly slandered the name of Neverland Pharmaceuticals. That, we cannot tolerate. We have contacted the authorities, so please leave the venue now and wait for them to pick you up. Do not disturb the event any longer with your misconduct." Her face red with anger, Crystal bellowed, "I'm not lying! I'm telling the truth! W-What gives you the right to ask me to leave?"
