Chapter 1066 Do You Wish for Matthew’s Death?

Meanwhile, in the bedroom, Demi’s and Liam’s facial expressions were depressingly dark as they listened to the laughter coming from outside.

“I don’t understand. How can this be? How can things turn out this way? How can Matthew be fine and come back unharmed? I thought the Lewis Family had all the evidence. But why didn’t they kill him?

Liam, could it be that you have been deceived? Was the evidence presented fake?” Demi questioned irritably.

With a bewildered look, Liam said, “I doubt so. The likelihood of the evidence presented turning out to be fake is low. My buddies got it from the police station and handed it over to me. I trust them, so there’s no way the evidence could be fake!”

Confused and agitated, Demi questioned again, “Then, what the hell is going on?”

Unable to enlighten Demi on that matter, Liam merely scratched his head. He, too, was at a loss for words.

“Calm down, Demi. Now’s not the time for us to dive deep into this matter. As for now, it’s important that we pay attention to your parents’ favor toward Matthew. They have started to side with him. If this continues, what will happen to us in the future?” Liam said, feeling anxious.

Upon hearing that, Demi felt vastly discontented. Her face turned as pale as death. Even so, she could not do anything to turn the tables.

Right at this moment, Demi’s cell phone suddenly rang.

The moment Demi answered her phone, a voice as cold as ice rang in her ears. “Do you wish for Matthew’s death?”

The next morning, the news about the passing of Old Master Lewis spread throughout Eastcliff.

At the same time, the news about Felix being promoted as the head of the Lewis Family also got around.

Instantly, the entire Eastcliff was in an uproar.

The influence yielded by the Lewis Family was rather formidable. In Eastcliff, the family remained as one of the ‘ruling’ families that not a single person dared to mess with.

No one would have imagined that the Lewis Family’s world was being turned upside down in just mere days.

First, it was the death of the head of the family—Donovan Lewis, followed by the death of Old Master Lewis. But, the shock did not end there. What shocked the entire Eastcliff was that there had been a major shift in power in the Lewis Family. Against all odds, an insignificant member such as Felix was appointed as the new head of the Lewis Family.

In the meantime, at Billy’s home, it was ten o’clock in the morning. Matthew and Billy were sitting face to face with each other. Sitting next to them was Brittany, attired all in white. She was making tea for the two of them.

Brittany’s health was gradually recovering. Day by day, she became more and more beautiful.

Although she had not turned twenty years old yet, her beauty was on par with that of Sasha and Leanna.

In the future, she might even surpass both Sasha and Leanna, becoming the most desired beauty in Eastcliff.

Looking at Matthew, Billy chuckled. “Matthew, I must say… You really impressed me this time! It was really out of my expectation! You resolved the vicious attack from the Lewis Family so effortlessly.

Moreover, you even took the opportunity to take control of the Lewis Family. One tough cookie you are!”

Following that, Matthew replied, “I was simply taking advantage of the opportunity. There are also some familial conflicts being fought within the Lewis Family. Otherwise, I couldn’t disrupt them from the core so easily. However, I’m afraid the situation has become more complicated than before.”

Upon hearing that, Billy put down his teacup and chuckled. “Why did you say so?”

Calmly, Matthew explained, “I’ve always thought that the one who supported the Lewis Family from behind was a highly influential family in Eastshire, such as the Hughes. However, I found out later that it turned out to be someone from Orleans. Knowing the late Old Master Lewis, he was a cunning and sly person, so it was out of his character to act if he was uncertain of his strength. Surprisingly, this time, he didn’t oppose the idea of letting the Lewis Family go up against me. This shows that the Lewis Family has faith in their strength and that Old Master Lewis feels that he is completely capable of dealing with me. So, I speculate that the Lewis Family isn’t the only family that has their hands involved in this matter. Among the Ten Great Families of Eastcliff, there might be a few others that joined in as well. To be able to convince and overpower several Great Families, this certain figure is surely not an easy character.”

After hearing that, Billy nodded slowly. “It’s good that you’re being vigilant on this matter. After all, we can’t judge a book by its cover. The mastermind behind this matter is the key person. So, Matthew, are you coming to me in hopes I could help you find out who’s the mastermind?”

Shaking his head, Matthew replied, “About that… Since I desire to take down the Ten Great Families of Eastcliff personally, I wish to handle this matter myself. I’m just worried that the mastermind behind this matter will harm my family and my wife. Mr. Newman, the favor I wanted to ask from you is to send someone to protect them.”

Admired by Matthew’s courage, Billy glanced at him and slowly nodded. “Feel free to carry out your plan! I’ll keep your family safe!”
