Chapter 23 I’m the Only Person Who Can Bully You


    As expected of General Snider, he would always make his speech sound indecent. She gave up on


    probing him for the truth, believing that time would reveal the answer.


    “Why didn’t you call me the first thing when the incident happened?”


    “Haha… Sharon and I have been at each other’s throats for so many years. If I can’t even tackle a


    small problem like this, then wouldn’t it be a shame that she had addressed me as her sister?”


    Even if Matt did not show up, she would have been able to sort out the problem perfectly. She was


    never one to trouble people with her problems.


    “But you are my wife, and I would never let you bear any sort of humiliation. I’m the only person who


    can bully you!”


    Winona felt a sense of warmth seeping into her heart. Even though he was an arrogant person, she


    would still sometimes find him to be quite adorable.


    “From tomorrow onwards, you won’t being here to work anymore. You’ll be my personal doctor


    instead.”


    Winona opposed his idea instantly, “That won’t do. I will never be a woman who has to rely on men.”


    She wanted to be a strong and independent woman. Someone worthy enough to stand beside him to


    face any obstacles or hardships.


    Mattpromised as he looked at her putting up an unyielding yet adorable front. He made a call to


    the hospital and said, “Mrs. Stanley, I can ept your requests, but you must first cut off a few people’s


    tongues for me.”


    “You called Mr. Stanley’s wife?”


    Matt smirked smugly, “She was begging for my help.”


    Winona finally understood the situation then. It exined why the news of her being framed in the


    hospital got to him at such lightning speed—it was the work of Mrs. Stanley.


    The next day when she arrived at the hospital, Winona was notified that she got promoted as the chief


    of the thoracic surgery department. The one who told her of this news was none other than Mrs.


    Stanley, who was also the newly promoted director of the hospital starting that day.


    “You have performed the highest number of thoracic surgeries and you are also the surgeon with the


    highest achievements. You deserve this position.”


    Winona responded with a slight smile. She never expected tond so easily on her dream job position


    that she had worked hard for years. But deep down inside, she knew that this was made possible


    She shook hands with Mrs. Stanley.


    “Don’t worry. I’ve already demoted the person who framed you, Yvonne, to a janitor. It’s only


    reasonable to let someone like her clean toilet bowls,” said Mrs. Stanley.


    Winona knew that Mrs. Stanley and Mr. Stanley were at odds with each other. Seeing how she dealt


    with Yvonne, Mr. Stanley would surely not end up being any better. Winona had a deep respect for Mrs.


    Stanley’s high EQ as she knew how to observe and analyze every turn of events. But most importantly,


    she clearly understood when to strike her opponent at her best opportunity. Winona sighed as she


    thought, “One should never get on a woman’s bad side, or they will bite you into shreds and pieces


    until you meet your end.”


    When Winona walked out of the office, she overheard two nurses from the gynecology department


    gossiping.


    “How pitiful is thatdy? She just had an abortion but no one from her family woulde and visit her.


    Instead, they called her again and again just to bite her head off.”


    “Well, don’t you see? It’s not all sunshine and rainbows for those who get married into a rich family.


    Since she was willing to make this decision, she would have to bear the consequences of it.”


    Winona knew they were talking about Sharon, but she did not feel a tad bit sorry for her. The girl got


    what she deserved.


    Just when Winona was about to step into the operating room, someone tugged at her arm. She turned


    around and saw Christopher’s face that disyed a disgusting fawn.


    “Winona, Sharon will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. Come home so we can have a meal


    together, remember to bring General Snider along too.”


    Winonaughed sardonically, “I know what you really want is to have Matt on your side so you can


    climb up thedder. I’m terribly sorry, but I’m not going to offer to you thedder.”


    He tightened his grasp but remained smiling and said, “Aileen misses you. Don’t you want to see her?”


    Winona curled up her fingers as her rage started to grow. He was using Aileen to threaten her.


    Christopher continued, “Winona, I know you very well. You don’t want to let Matt know of Aileen’s


    existence, or you would’vee and fetch her the first thing you came back. Am I right?”


    There were only a few people in Bolwich who knew of the Winston family’s third daughter who was


    intellectually challenged, Aileen. However, this girl became Winona’s weakness. Before she saw

    through Matt and understood his motives, she would never let him know of Aileen’s existence. She


    didn’t want to drag Aileen into any mess that would happen.


    Slowly, she rxed her tensed fingers and helped realign Christopher’s bow tie. “I’ll bring him over,


    dad. I hope you will achieve what you had wished for.”


    Her voice was so gentle and soothing and her smile was ever more lovely, but it gave him chills


    instead. It was only after a while when he muttered, “You look just like your mother.”


    “Shut your mouth! You have no right to mention her!”


    A sign of bitterness shed on his face, but it was quickly reced by his ttering smile. “Alright then.


    I will arrange a table of homecooked food together with your aunt. Remember to bring General Snider


    with you.”


    Winona bit her lips in fury as she watched him leave. Why would she have such a father, she couldn’t


    help wondering.


    Soon after her mother’s death, he brought Elizabeth and her daughter into the Winston family. He even


    allowed the two of them to do as they please but was indifferent to Aileen and herself as if they have


    be non-existent in the family, left alone to suffer on their own. Sometimes she would wonder, if it


    wasn’t for her engagement with Benjamin that was set up between both families since young, she


    would’ve been at death’s door at least a hundred times. This was why she was always grateful towards


    Benjamin.


    When her shift was almost over, Winona gave Matt a call. When he picked up the phone, she heard his


    flirtatious tone, “Miss me?”


    His voice was oddly sexy and appealing. She could make out the sight of him picking up the phone as


    he raised his eyebrows in a flirty way. Was he starting to grow on her? She shook her head clear of the


    thought and tried to make her voice sound calm. “I’m going back to visit the Winston family tonight, can


    youe with me?”


    He replied teasingly, “Just say it, how much did you sell me for this time?”


    He knew Winona did not like interacting with the Winston family, but this time, she offered to go back


    herself. So, she must havee to some sort of an agreement with Christopher.


    “Matt, being too smart may not be a great thing sometimes.”


    “How would a dumb man be able to capture mydy’s heart then?” Matt chuckled.


    “So, are youing with me or not?”


    “How could I ever reject a request from Mrs. Snider? Just remember to give me my reward when we go


    back home tonight. Since you sold me off, you must give me something in return.”


    He had switched to his flirty side again, so she ended the call with a hint of a smile on her lips.


    On the other end, Matt gave Herman an instruction, “Clear my schedule for tonight and get Karen to


    fetch me a suit from the boutique.”


    Herman frowned at his words. “But the president arranged tonight’s banquet just for you and there will


    be a lot of military and political leaders attending it.”


    Matt threw a cold re at him, forcing him to shut his mouth in an instant. He finally understood then:


    General Snider would do anything for Mrs. Snider, even if it meant he would be going against the world.


    He wondered what on earth did Mrs. Snider do to gain the general’s favor?


    Matt had a private bedroom in his office. He checked the time, then pressed on a button to enter his


    bedroom. From his closet, he picked a white dress shirt and a pair of formal trousers for his attire.


    He took off his military uniform and swiftly put on the dress shirt, followed by the trousers along with the


    belt. His shirt was still unbuttoned, revealing his tanned chest and refined abs.


    Suddenly, he heard the sound of faint footstepsing near his bedroom. He thought it was Herman


    reporting back to him and asked, “What did the president say?”


    Instead of hearing a reply from Herman, he felt a soft body leaning against his back and a pair of hands


    clutching by his waist.
