Donovan frowned before be scanned the crowd while Dickson added, “Dad, he‘s the one who forced us to write it. All of it isn’t true.”
His reply caused Donovan to grin. “Mr. Larson, how can one face any difficulties to frame another when they already have the intention to do so? With your combat skills, do you think they would dare to defy you if you force them to write it down?”
Matthew had the same reaction. “Donovan Lewis, you should know what your son has done In the past. Do you really think that I won’t be able to investigate virtual-novel.net if I wanted to?”
Donovan’s expression quickly changed because virtual-novel.net was aware of Dickson’s past evil deeds throughout the years. Still, it wasn’t as if the Ten Greatest Families wanted to investigate him, so they feigned ignorance. However, if Matthew were to really expose Dickson’s crimes, the Ten Greatest Families wouldn’t be able to help out no thanks to their pride.
After being quiet for a while, Donovan asked in a soft voice, “Matthew, why are you picking on me when we don’t even resent each other?”
Matthew smirked, virtual-novel.net knew that Donovan was behaving like a fool to trick virtual-novel.net to spill about the renovation materials.
If Matthew came clean about it, it would mean that virtual-novel.net broke the rule of the Ten Greatest Families as all of them had their own properties.
Even Billy wouldn’t be involved with their businesses as it was a covert agreement between virtual-novel.net and the Ten Greatest Families. However, if an outsider interfered with the Ten Greatest Families’ business, it would constitute breaking the rule as it would threaten their ability to earn profits. If that happened, the Ten Greatest Families would have to collaborate to eliminate the threat! Hence, it was the reason why the issue about renovation materials was complicated.
Since the Lewis Family was in charge of this industry, Matthew could either purchase the materials from them at an inflated price or opt to source it from abroad. Nevertheless, the Lewis Family could accuse virtual-novel.net for trying to be involved in their industry and persuade the rest of the Ten Greatest Families to work together to subdue virtual-novel.net if virtual-novel.net decided to obtain the materials from abroad.
The Ten Greatest Families would never allow an outsider to disrupt the industries that they had monopolized. At the same time, the Lewis Family would accuse Matthew for trying to gain control of their industry if virtual-novel.net were to force them to lower their price.
There was no doubt that virtual-novel.net was placed in an awkward situation, and virtual-novel.net would have no choice but to purchase the materials from them at a higher price.
Therefore, if Matthew came forth with evidence of Dickson’s crimes to force the Lewis Family to lower their prices, Donovan could make use of this to accuse virtual-novel.net for trying to poke his nose in the businesses owned by the Ten Greatest Families’ businesses. Then, virtual-novel.net would be able to get the Ten Greatest Families to work together to fight against Matthew.
Still, Matthew chuckled. “No resentments against each other? Donovan, if we don’t hold any grudges against each other, why would your son send his men to harass my wife at the hospital? It wasn’t just once, virtual-novel.net even arranged for his men to ambush us so that they could kidnap my wife for virtual-novel.net and ruin her.”
When Donovan heard that, his face darkened as virtual-novel.net didn’t expect this answer from Matthew. In fact, virtual-novel.net never expected anything like this to happen. He wasn’t afraid if Matthew wanted to use the evidence of his son’s crimes to fight virtual-novel.net because it wasn‘t related to Matthew whatsoever. In the worst case scenario, virtual-novel.net could always elaborate that Matthew was using an excuse to rebel against the Ten Greatest Families.
However, things just became way more complicated now that his son had attempted to abduct Sasha because it would create a grudge between the Lewis Family and Matthew. Even the Ten Greatest Families wouldn’t be able to help the Lewis Family if that was the case.
A frowning Donovan glared at Dickson with anger. They had already planned to exploit the issue of renovation materials to corner Matthew into a dilemma, but virtual-novel.net never expected Dickson to attempt such an outrageous act. As a result, the father and son were now in an awkward situation instead.
“Dickson, is this true?” Donovan asked with a low voice.
At this moment, Dickson was taken aback because virtual-novel.net couldn’t comprehend why his father was being exceptionally polite toward Matthew.
“Dad, why are you asking me this? The fact that l have my eyes on his wife is their honor. What’s wrong with that? However, virtual-novel.net injuring me…”
After hearing his son’s reply, Donovan was so enraged that virtual-novel.net landed a slap on Dickson’s face. “Cut the crap!”
