Chapter 1573

Just as Matthew expected. Julian sent out his men to hunt for him and Edmund all over Granville. They didn't know who Matthew was or what he looked like, so they directed all their anger on the latter instead.

The Huntingtons even went up to the Albright Family's residence to demand they hand over Edmund.

With no intention to shield Edmund from the Huntingtons' wrath whatsoever, the Albright Family gave away the location of the old manor where he used to stay and even dispatched their own men to lend aid to the Huntingtons' forces.

Had Matthew not had the foresight of putting Edmund up at a budget hotel in a remote area, he would have been found ages ago.

When neither family could track him down, they stopped looking, but Julian swore he would kill Edmund personally, and he made it clear that anyone who protected Edmund would become an enemy of the Huntingtons.

Furthermore, the Sinclairs and the Albright Family took their stance and chose to side with Julian.

The next evening, Matthew arrived at the budget hotel Edmund was staying at and told him everything about what had happened the day before in detail.

Edmund fell into a grim silence after hearing what Matthew said. He didn't think he could be any more disappointed after the incident at the Dynasty, but much to his surprise, the Sinclairs and the Albright Family rallied against him. It was a ruthless gesture on their part, considering Old Master Albright was Edmund's biological grandfather, and that the head of the family was his own uncle.

These people were his family, but they had so brutally cut him off just so they could keep up friendly relations with the Huntingtons. They did not even hesitate to throw kinship out the window.

Granted, he expected such betrayal from the Sinclairs, but he never thought that a family, who claimed to be close-knitted to his father, would turn their backs on him and rub salt in his wound in the blink of an eye.

After a long pause, Edmund said wearily, "My father used to say that a man's downfall marks the beginning of betrayal and that people will not hesitate to deal the final blow. Looks like he was right."

Matthew gave him a commiserating look. "Our lives are shaped by experiences, and that’s how we learn and thrive in the face of adversity. Your father had more foresight than you do, but the world can be unpredictable, and there are plenty of things we have to leave up to fate. You can't depend on anyone but yourself."

Matthew chuckled and waved his hand dismissively. "I said this before, Edmund. You have to be the one to take revenge. I didn't come to Granville just to take back what belongs to Cunningham Pharmaceuticals, you know; I came because I want to help you take back your glory!" Coոtent of Drąmanovеls.com "M-My glory?" Edmund gaped at him in shock.
