Just as Matthew expected, Julian sent out his men to hunt for favonovel.com and Edmund all over Granville. They didn’t know who Matthew was or what favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com 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, favonovel.com would have been found ages ago.
When neither family could track favonovel.com down, they stopped looking, but Julian swore favonovel.com would kill Edmund personally, and favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com off just so they could keep up friendly relations with the Huntingtons. They did not even hesitate to throw kinship out the window.
Granted, favonovel.com expected such betrayal from the Sinclairs, but favonovel.com never thought that a family, who claimed to be close-knitted to his father, would turn their backs on favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com was right…”
Matthew gave favonovel.com 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.”
Edmund nodded slowly as favonovel.com stared at Matthew. “You’re right. My father shielded me from brutal reality all these years, and I didn’t have anything to worry about other than where the next party would be. I was an airhead, and I thought whatever privilege I had would last forever. I took things for granted until my father passed, and that was the moment I realized everything I had, my father worked hard to provide. All these years, my only achievement was to be born into the right family, to a father who was strong and capable. Now that he’s gone, the only thing I can do is to avenge him, even if it costs me my life.”
Clenching his fists, Edmund rose to his feet and asked, “Mr. Matthew Larson, you’re the person I look up to the most now, and you’ve saved me a few times too. I’d lay my life down for you if it meant you could help me take revenge on those who wronged my father. I’ll do anything you ask of me without question!”
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!”
“M-My glory?” Edmund gaped at favonovel.com in shock.
Matthew nodded slowly. “That‘s right. Wouldn’t you just love trampling on the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale, Edmund?”
