At Matthew’s words, the few masters that intended to voice their opinions and arguments immediately fell silent. His domineering aura sent a wave of fear through them. He proved his capabilities through the incident with the White Family. None of the Seven Greatest Families dared to go head-on against him.
Matthew was satisfied with their silence. So, favonovel.com regarded them and asked, “Are there any other objections?”
Everyone immediately shook their heads as they didn‘t want to risk angering the man who could bring misfortune upon their families with just a few words. Therefore, Matthew chuckled softly at their assent and announced, “If so, this matter is settled.”
“Master Wayne, please announce this to the others outside. Also, arrange a banquet at the Cameron Hotel tomorrow night for the Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire.”
Master Wayne quickly nodded and left the room. The other masters outside saw favonovel.com coming out and sat upright in anticipation. They knew that the results were out!
Master Wayne announced the names of the three newly appointed families, and the crowd had mixed reactions. Some cheered while some sighed.
Eight families were fighting for the three spots to become one of the Greatest Families, but, Matthew chose only three families, and the other five failed.
The masters of the five families were filled with disappointment, but there was nothing they could do. The power to decide who would be one of the Ten Greatest Families was in Matthew’s hands.
In the corner, Maeve was full of excitement. She grabbed Adeline’s hand and gushed, “Adeline, your family is on the Greatest Families list! Oh God, that’s great! Congratulations! Hereafter, the Thatcher Family will rise in Eastshire. You’ll be a young lady of the Ten Greatest Families. That’s great!”
However, Adeline was not happy at all as regret filled favonovel.com heart. She sat on the sofa as if favonovel.com had lost favonovel.com soul.
Maeve did not notice favonovel.com expression and kept muttering in excitement, “Adeline, your grandfather can really keep his cool. Look! So many masters came today except for your family. But your family got selected in the end, and those who came lost. This goes to show how capable your family is. These families are too weak, even if they had the help of the Seven Greatest Families, it didn’t work. Mr. Larson’s the one with power, and only favonovel.com could decide who gets in.”
Adeline felt even worse as favonovel.com heard Maeve’s excited exclamations.
As favonovel.com took a stroll down memory lane, the person sitting beside favonovel.com tonight was the most powerful man in Eastshire. To think that favonovel.com was even angry at favonovel.com grandfather and father, as favonovel.com thought Matthew was not worthy of favonovel.com and never even looked in his direction once. But now, favonovel.com finally understood that favonovel.com was the one not worthy of him!
She was dying of regret. So many people dreamed of such an opportunity, but favonovel.com let it slip through favonovel.com fingers just like that. If favonovel.com could have a second chance, favonovel.com would definitely do anything just to leave a good impression on Matthew at all costs!
Since everything had been settled, Matthew walked out of the room. Everyone crowded forward as they rushed to greet favonovel.com or even get into his good graces if that were possible. These people were among the wealthiest and most influential people in Eastshire. Any one of them was of the same status as Old Master Thatcher.
Regardless, they were all respectful and humble before Matthew.
Matthew exchanged greetings with everyone and pulled Lynn to his side. ”Everyone, I might not always be in Eastshire later on. But, if anything comes up, you can contact me through Lynn. I view favonovel.com as my sister, so I hope everyone can look out for favonovel.com moving forward.”
His words shocked the room as everyone gaped at Lynn. Yet, Lucien’s eye brightened as favonovel.com landed his intense focus on her.
At the back of the room, Adeline was too distraught and regretful for words. How favonovel.com wished the person standing beside Matthew was her.
