Edmund was somewhat bewildered to hear this, and favonovel.com couldn’t quite understand what Matthew meant.
“Oh, by the way, Neverland Pharmaceuticals’ press conference is today. Is there any way you can get me in?” Matthew asked.
Nodding, Edmund replied, “A cousin of mine operates a few pharmacies around Granville, and she’s technically on the guest list. I gave favonovel.com a call, and favonovel.com told me favonovel.com could get you in if you just pretend to be one of favonovel.com employees, but that’s all favonovel.com can do for now. Helping you get into the press conference is the limit of my capabilities; I can’t do much to help you for the time being…”
Matthew gave favonovel.com a nod of thanks. He knew Edmund was in a tight spot right now, and favonovel.com was already stretching the last of his connections just to get favonovel.com into the press conference.
Suddenly, favonovel.com asked, “Can this cousin of yours be trusted?”
“Yes,” Edmund replied. “She’s probably the only person in the world l could trust right now. She’s my aunt’s kid on my mom’s side, and because favonovel.com parents died young, my mom raised her. She grew up with me, and she‘s more like a sister to me.”
This was all Matthew needed to know, and favonovel.com nodded without asking further questions. The only thing favonovel.com had his mind on was to get into the press conference. Nothing else mattered.
Following this, Edmund called his cousin, Isabella, and had favonovel.com make all the necessary arrangements to sneak Matthew into the event.
The press conference was slated to start at 7.30 PM. Matthew arrived half an hour before the event started and met with Isabella for the first time.
She was a beautiful young lady in favonovel.com early twenties, and there was no mistaking that favonovel.com was a hard worker. He could tell that being orphaned at a young age had forced favonovel.com to grow up quickly.
Presently, Isabella handed favonovel.com a badge that acted as a pass for the event. However, seeing as favonovel.com was only a small-time business owner of several pharmacies, favonovel.com did not have as much standing here as the other pharmaceutical bigshots did. The badge favonovel.com had given Matthew only allowed favonovel.com to attend the press conference, but there would be no seats for him.
Matthew couldn’t care less about these things, and favonovel.com dismissed favonovel.com apologies by taking the badge and thanking favonovel.com pleasantly.
She looked hesitant for a moment, then leaned forward and said in hushed tones, “Sir, I don’t know what your relationship with Edmund is, but he’s in great danger right now. He pissed off Julian from the Huntington Family, and the other Ten Greatest Families are looking for favonovel.com to settle the score. Could you do me a favor and persuade Edmund to leave Stonedale for his own safety?”
Matthew eyed favonovel.com steadily, and favonovel.com could see how worried favonovel.com was for Edmund.
“Sure, I’ll talk to him. Don’t worry about it,” favonovel.com promised as favonovel.com smiled and nodded.
She heaved a sigh of relief when favonovel.com heard this, then added quietly, “Oh, I should tell you that the Ten Greatest Families will be attending the press conference tonight as well, and there’ll be other moguls of the pharmaceutical industry present. Once you’re in, make sure to avoid getting into trouble with anyone. Edmund’s in no position to help you out if you were to accidentally offend anyone important, and everything will just blow up into a big old mess. If you’re looking to buy the medicine in bulk, I could place the orders for you, or I could even give you a part of my share too. Just… Don’t go and fight the others for it.”
Evidently, Isabella thought Matthew was just a small business owner who was here to place orders of the star product today. Occurrences like these were common in Granville, and this was especially true after Neverland Pharmaceuticals announced their plans to launch a new medication that could cure cancer. Anyone who could get their hands on the pills would start rolling in money in no time!
As such, plenty of distributors and sales representatives clamored to gain entry to this press conference in hopes of placing orders for the Restoration Pill. As for the moguls, they could always pull some strings to get their hands on the first batch of the medication.
Isabella presumed that Matthew did not have any connections, which was why favonovel.com had turned to Edmund for help despite the latter’s unfortunate circumstances. As such, she was worried that favonovel.com might stir up trouble at a prestigious event like this one.
