After Matthew had walked away, Claire led the other rich kids and together, they dragged Charlie and his friends to a corner. The reason they had faced such a brutal punishment that night was thanks to the trio. Hence, sparing them was out of the equation.
Meanwhile, Matthew entered the largest private room located at the penthouse and sat down together with the heads of the Ten Greatest Families.
Philip began the discussion. "Mr. Larson, let's get down to business. Billy Newman has left and he won't be coming back, so someone should take over his legacy. Many years ago, the Ten Greatest Families made an agreement with Mr. Newman that we would be given priority in taking over everything that belonged to Mr. Newman in Eastcliff if he leaves. What do you say, Mr. Larson?"
Upon hearing that, Matthew answered, "I'm sorry, but I have never heard about this agreement from Mr. Newman. Besides, although he has left, his daughter is still around. Therefore, his descendent should be taking over all the assets that Mr. Newman left behind, no?"
In other words, Matthew implied that the Ten Greatest Families had no rights to inherit Billy's properties since they were not Billy's descendants.
