The next day arrived with Billy leaving Eastcliff.
Only Ken followed him.
His other trusted aides meanwhile all remained in Eastcliff, as this was what he had planned for his
daughter.
That afternoon, Matthew went to see Brittany.
Although she looked no different from always, there was a certain melancholy in her gaze.
At first, one would think that she did not know anything about this but in fact, she had already grasped
the truth about a lot of things.
After a week, Matthew suddenly received an invitation letter from the Eastcliff's Ten Greatest Families,
inviting him to attend a banquet in their city.
Matthew had already prepared himself, as he knew that this would eventually come.
He knew that this was the time to draw the line between them.
This trip might be equivalent to the Last Supper.
That being said, Matthew knew that if he went, he would have the chance to control the whole of
Eastshire! At 7 PM at the Marriott Hotel in Eastshire.
three young people got off the Mercedes Benz that stopped at the entrance.
Amongst them was a woman and a man, Charlie and Lily.
The last one was Felicia’s daughter, Evelyn.
Originally, the reason Felicia brought her daughter back to Eastcliff was to ensure her daughter and
Zack's son were engaged.
But in the end, the whole wedding was called off due to Matthew.
As the Cunninghams knew that they weren't a match for Matthew, they became a lot more subdued
recently.
However, the youth among them like Charlie and Lily could not accept this defeat.
They knew that they were not his opponents if they continued to remain at Eastcliff.
That was why they came to Eastshire to see if they could somehow build a rapport with the Ten
Greatest Families of Eastshire and use this to get rid of Matthew.
Following along, Evelyn saw a lot of her classmates here, thinking that they might be able to connect
them to the families.
Feeling a bit unsure, Charlie asked in a low voice, "Evelyn, i-is it really here?"
Proudly, she replied, "Of course it is!"
"The Hotel Marriott is the most famous hotel in Eastshire.It's even much more luxurious than Times
Hotel back in Eastclifft"
Lowering his voice yet again, Charlie asked, "Not that.
What I'm asking is, are the Ten Greatest Families really converging here tonight?"
Evelyn nodded in response.
"That is of course!"
"My best friend is one of the third generation descendents in the Sonnets of the Ten Greatest Families
of Eastshire.Do you think that she would make such a mistake as to the venue? Plus, do you think that
anyone can attend this event? My best friend is the princess of the Sonnet Family, and even she had to
go through a lot of trouble to obtain these three entrance tickets for us! I'm telling you now that the
people who are attending this all have a high standing in the Ten Greatest Families!"
This made Lily instantly excitedly say, "Does that mean that there's going to be a lot of capable young
men attending tonight? Evelyn, you have to ask your best friend to introduce me to some of the
handsome men later"
Smiling smugly, Evelyn replied, "Don't worry.Consider it done! I haven't been fooling around all those
years studying abroad.With my network of connections in Eastshire, it's no problem at all!"
With a beaming face, Lily then held her arm excitedly.
Closing in, Charlie said, "Evelyn, I don't need any handsome men.Just introduce a few friends to me."
Rolling her eyes, Evelyn muttered, "Oh—shove off.Don't say I’m not giving you a chance.When you go
in later, there'll be loads of women there, so just pick one you fancy"
Smiling pervertedly, Charlie then rubbed his hands together with a face full of anticipation.
Just as the trio was ready to go into the main hall, a taxi slowly drove up to the entrance of the hotel
from afar.
Lined up beside the hotel were all cars that were worth millions.
Comparatively, the taxi seemed very out of place there.
This sight made Lily laugh out loud.
"Would you look at that! Who is this country bumpkin attending the event in a taxi? I'm about to die of
laughter!"
Just then, a person came out of the taxi, and it was no other than Matthew.
