Chapter 993 News From Wilson Lach Matthew stood rooted to the spot with a dumbfounded expression. This girl acts like she has been brainwashed!

The security team leader walked up to him and whispered, “Director Larson, is that your friend?”

Helplessly, he shook his head. “No, she’s a relative. Do you know the patient, Heidi Freeman? The one staying a floor above?”

The security team leader nodded. “Yes, I’ve heard of her. Didn’t they say that her daughter treats her badly?”

“Yeah. Heidi is my aunt-in-law. The girl just now is her daughter.” Matthew nodded back glumly.

The leader’s eyes turned round. “What? T-That’s her daughter? What a character! Director, if it were me, I would have slapped her until her cheeks were swollen! How could she focus on her hubby when her mom is in that condition?”

Matthew sighed defeatedly, without any word. After he contacted Wilson Lach, soon, the two met up in a quiet cafe. The building was the Lachs’ property. Therefore, Matthew had to disguise himself before entering the place.

Luckily, no one could tell that he was meeting up with Wilson. The Lach Family was Matthew’s connection in the Ten Greatest Families who would provide him insider information.

After Matthew revealed his intention, Wilson sank into a prolonged thought and shook his head at the end. “Mr. Larson, I really did not receive any news about that incident. But I can tell you something for sure: if the Ten Greatest Families are somehow involved in this matter, one of the families will definitely be the culprit!”

Matthew quickly inquired, “Which one?”

Wilson took a deep breath and answered, “The Lewis Family!”

The chances that the Lewis Family might be involved in the matter confused Matthew. “The Lewis Family? But why?”

To make his point clear, Wilson explained, “All the Ten Greatest Families in Eastcliff hold their own assets. Except for some larger industries, they had managed to monopolize the other fields. As for the Lewis Family, they monopolized the construction material industry in Eastcliff. If someone wants to target you, they will need the support of the Lewises.”

Matthew nodded slowly and started piecing the puzzle together in his head. Wilson gave him a look before whispering, “By the way, Mr. Larson, someone from the Orleans’ Voodoo Clan came to me lately to ask about Mr. Sanchez. I followed your instructions and told them that Mr. Sanchez had left abruptly.

They did not suspect anything but asked that I continue to search for clues of that girl.”

Matthew frowned as he thought, Wow, it looks like many are visiting from Orleans. I’ll have to start preparing my plan!

“Alright, I got it. Keep to the script and ignore them. After this period, I will personally deal with them,”

he muttered softly.

Wilson let out a sigh at the reassurance, for he was rather fearful and avoidant of the Orleans’ Voodoo Clan. If Matthew could resolve this matter with the Clan, he would have nothing else to worry about.

Leia arrived at the police department near the hospital by cab and happened to see Luke walking out with a swollen face.

“Hubby, how are you doing?” She hurried up to him, but he glared at her indignantly. “What do you think? Don’t you have eyes? Just look at my face!”

Wearing an embarrassed expression, she mumbled, “Hubby, um, are you… Are you in pain?”

He fired back, “Idiot! If I beat you up until you look like me now, do you think you’ll be in pain? Why do you keep asking stupid questions?”

She lowered her head and kept quiet for fear of irritating him.

Looking annoyed, he grunted. “By the way, do you have any money on you? Troy and the gang brought knives to the hospital, and I’m afraid they’ve gotten into trouble. I need to bail them out!”
