Chapter 1184 News of Matthew’s Death
As this was going on, the few people hidden outside of The Grand Garden quietly observed the fight inside the villa. They didn’t dare to enter the premises, but they could guess how the battle was from listening to the sounds inside the villa.
The battle lasted about ten minutes. At last, Phoenix grabbed Matthew by the ankle and dragged him outside. Matthew had fallen to the ground, completely bloodied. From the looks of it, he was on the brink of death.
A car came by. Phoenix tossed Matthew into the car. He then lit another cigarette, taking a few drags before he got into the car as well.
The few people watching this were more delighted than disappointed. They promptly ran to the masked man and reported the situation to him. The masked man was ecstatic when he heard the news and immediately got in touch with Lord Voodoo to inform him.
At last, Lord Voodoo nodded in satisfaction. “Smooth operation. However, you still have to be on your guard. Tonight, the Golden Cocoon Charm will be born. This is a most crucial period for me. As long as I have the Golden Cocoon Charm in my hands, I will be able to surpass any of the six kings. Watch yourselves carefully. Do not let anyone ruin my grand plans!”
The masked man nodded. “Yes, Lord Voodoo! By the way, what should we do about that crown prince?”
Lord Voodoo was quiet for a moment. “Once tonight’s events have come to pass, release him. Matthew is dead. There’s no need for us to goad Phoenix. If we incur the King of the South’s ire, then we will be in a world of trouble!”
The masked man immediately nodded. He didn’t really want to make an enemy out of Phoenix either.
News of Matthew’s death spread through Eastcliff at seven that night.
Upon hearing this news, those who worked for Matthew went into an uproar. Everyone was stunned. No one had imagined that he would die for no good reason.
Wilson and the others were shocked. With Matthew dead, didn’t that mean they were sitting ducks now?
Meanwhile, Tiger broke down on the spot. Tears immediately fell from Leanna’s eyes when she found out about Matthew’s death.
There were, of course, people who were more happy than upset by this news, such as that one faction in the Cunningham Family. Felicia was especially overjoyed by Matthew’s death. She brought the Cunninghams over to Cunningham Pharmaceuticals, ordering Sasha to hand over the company to her. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
At the same time, Minerva also popped up to stir up trouble. The few other sons of elite families that Matthew had put through the wringer also stepped up to mock him, even going as far as to say that they would take down Sasha.
Other than the Lachs, the Lewises, the Jacksons, and the Telks, the other six families banded together to take Matthew’s construction company for their own. These six families chose to strike while Sasha was at her weakest, fanning the already existing flames.
Felicia immediately contacted some old friends of hers to surround Cunningham Pharmaceuticals, kicking up a huge ruckus. All manufacturing activities at Cunningham Pharmaceuticals stopped. Everyone was watching to see how the company would fare later.
Upon hearing this news, Sasha cried until she passed out. James and Helen holed themselves deep inside Lakeside Garden; they didn’t dare to set foot outside. It was only now they realized that Matthew
was the sole person holding up the Cunningham Family. Without him, the Cunninghams were nothing!
Meanwhile, at the Harrison household, Joseph sighed in his seat. Crystal’s eyes were swollen from all her crying.
In short, Eastcliff was in chaos once word of Matthew’s death had spread.
At nine, two hours later after the news first broke out, Charmine kneeled before Lord Voodoo in his residence with a disgruntled expression.
“Lord Voodoo, Matthew is already dead. Why do you still wish to root out his family?” Charmine asked in a low tone. Matthew had saved her once, so she was also shocked out of her mind when she heard that he was killed.
Lord Voodoo glanced at her. “You ask too many questions,” he stated coldly. “There are some things that you do not need to know!”
