The Great Medical Saint

Sara's gaze burned with rage. "I'm offering you a million dollars. Don't be greedy."

Matthew was enraged and retorted, "Let me be clear-it's not about the money. Even if you offered ten billion dollars, you still can't take Silas."

She looked at him with contempt. "What did you just say? You're telling me I can't take Silas? Do you even realize what you're saying? Do you know the consequences of those words?" Besides Sara, Rachel was also becoming frustrated. She stepped in and grabbed Matthew's arm. "What are you doing? Don't cause me any more trouble, okay?"

He shook his head. "I'm not causing trouble. I'm serious about this."

She saw the intensity in his eyes and warned him, "Do you understand what you're getting into? You alone can't stop them from taking Silas. Even with my family's help, it won't be enough." Matthew felt a surge of gratitude at Rachel's mention of the Carters. He knew they couldn't match the Clarks, but their support meant a lot.

He replied firmly, "Stay out of my business. No one's taking Silas, and not a single hair on his head will be touched."

Sara raised an eyebrow. "Matthew, do you even know your place? You're just a chauffeur-a lowly chauffeur. Don't think that being bold and shameless makes you untouchable. If you try to interfere this time, you'll face a brutal end." This wasn't a minor issue like spanking her. It was a massive, high-stakes plan with far-reaching consequences. The scale and scope of it were truly frightening.

Matthew said coldly, "Don't try to scare me. It won't work."

Sara sprang to her feet and strode directly toward Silas. But Matthew blocked her path and stared at her chillingly.

She was furious. "How dare you

stand in my way?" She swung her hand to slap him. But before her. hand could connect, a shadow darted in front of her, and she screamed.

In an instant, she felt a stinging slap across her face. The blow sent her crashing to the ground, and a clear imprint of five fingers marked her pretty face. The room fell into a stunned silence.

Rachel gaped in disbelief. Matthew had actually struck a woman. How could he be so ruthless?

Silas felt a surge of intense

gratitude. Matthew had risked

everything to protect him and defya powerful woman like Sara. The enormity of Matthew's sacrifice left Silas deeply moved, and his eyes weffed up with tears.

Sara's eyes widened in shock before she shrieked, "Matthew, how dare you lay a hand on me? Do you think I can't come up with a thousand ways to kill you?"

His expression remained icy as he

approached her. He crouched beside her, his gaze fixed on her face. He

said calmly, "Do you really think I won't slap you a thousand times?"

Sara let out a terrified scream. She closed her eyes and braced for the slap. She waited in tense silence, but the slap never came.

She slowly opened her eyes to find Matthew still there, his gaze unyielding.

Then, he roared, "Get out!" His command exploded through the room like a thunderclap.
