Matthew followed Jimmy into the private courtyard, which was rather huge. In the middle stood a few servant girls, who were all jittery and nervous.

When they were about to enter the room, they heard a loud, angry voice shouting, "You can't even prepare any proper medication. What's the point of keeping useless bums like you? Get out of here! All of you get out!"

Along with the sound of things crashing, a few servants came out of the room in disgrace. One of the servants even had medicinal soup splashed on her clothes, looking very embarrassed.

Seeing this, Jimmy immediately spun his head around to Matthew and placed a finger to his lips, signaling for him to be silent.

In reply, Matthew grinned, put on a calm expression, and walked in with Jimmy. In the room, an elderly man with silver hair was lying on his side on a comfortable lounge chair.

The elderly man, who had sharp eyes and looked powerful, was none other than Antonio Barrera. The person holding the power in the Barrera Family was this old man.

Due to the fact that Antonio was too domineering, the things the master of the family said didn't carry much weight anymore!

After Jimmy stepped into the room, he trotted to the elderly man and massaged his shoulders gently, saying softly, "Grandpa, why did you lose your temper again? Didn't the doctor already say that losing your temper isn't good for your illness?"

Annoyed, Antonio said, "Shut up! Stay out of my affairs!"

Embarrassed, Jimmy hurriedly said, "Yes, of course."

Couldn't be bothered with him, Antonio cast a look at Matthew at the door and frowned. "Who's that?"

Before Jimmy could answer, Matthew beat him to it. "I'm here to treat you, Old Master Barrera."

Startled, Jimmy thought, This isn't what we agreed on! He quickly threw Matthew a look, gesturing for him not to spout nonsense.

However, Matthew ignored him completely and smiled softly at Antonio, whose frown deepened.

"Treat me? You're quite a bragger for your age! Do you know what illness I have before you say that? Don't you know that the Barreras are one of the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale? Many famous doctors have checked up on me, but none of them could cure me. A young man like you has the nerves to even dream of treating me?"

Glaring at Matthew furiously, Jimmy was filled with regret. If he had known that Matthew would go back on his word, not to mention 50 million, even if it was 500 million, he wouldn't have brought Matthew here. If Grandpa is mad because of this, I will be in deep trouble as well!

"Old Master Barrera, why are you making such a rash decision now? We'll find out whether I could cure you or not after I give it a try, right?"

Antonio waved his hand in frustration. "A swindler like you is just a quack. There's no need to give it a try! Men, throw him out!"

Two men showed up at the door to throw out Matthew.

However, Matthew took a step forward at this time and said, "Old Master Barrera, it's full moon tonight. If you would like to sleep well tonight, it's better if you let me give it a try. Otherwise, it feels terrible to be suffering from the cold poison."

Upon hearing that, Antonio changed color at once, and he sat up straight. With disbelief all over his face, he stared at Matthew as he trembled slightly.

Nobody had seen Antonio in such a flustered state before, and they were all stunned.

Blood drained from Jimmy's face, thinking that his grandfather had lost his temper, and he quickly bellowed, "Who gave you the permission to spout nonsense here, you brat?! Men, get him out of here!" Just when the two men at the side were about to make a move, Antonio gave the back of Jimmy's head a slap, shouting, "Who gave you the right to speak here? Get out of here right now!"
