Chapter 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 the future if the need arises?"

Rowan slammed the table. "Another way? Look at me and tell me that they have chosen the alternative

course of action here! You're asking me not to go too far, yet just look at what they did. Injuring me in

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! I can bear with my reputation being damaged, but I 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 same sentiment 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 name in 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 told me to get bigger before going after

him! J-Just how am I 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 time he 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't me who said that. It was Phoenix."

Tristan shook his head while laughing as he went downstairs. Coոtent of Drаmаոovels.cоm
