Chapter 1499


    At Matthew''s words, the few masters that intended to voice their opinions and arguments immediately


    fell silent.


    His domineering aura sent a wave of fear through them.


    He proved his capabilities through the incident with the White Family. None of the Seven Greatest


    Families dared to go head-on against him.


    Matthew was satisfied with their silence. So, he regarded them and asked, "Are there any other


    objections?"


    Everyone immediately shook their heads as they didn''t want to risk angering the man who could bring


    misfortune upon their families with just a few words.


    Therefore, Matthew chuckled softly at their assent and announced, "If so, this matter is settled."


    "Master Wayne, please announce this to the others outside. Also, arrange a banquet at the Cameron


    Hotel tomorrow night for the Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire."


    Master Wayne quickly nodded and left the room.


    The other masters outside saw himing out and sat upright in anticipation.


    They knew that the results were out!


    Master Wayne announced the names of the three newly appointed families, and the crowd had mixed


    reactions. Some cheered while some sighed.


    Eight families were fighting for the three spots to be one of the Greatest Families, but, s,


    Matthew chose only three families, and the other five failed.


    The masters of the five families were filled with disappointment, but there was nothing they could do.


    The power to decide who would be one of the Ten Greatest Families was in Matthew''s hands.


    In the corner, Maeve was full of excitement.


    She grabbed Adeline''s hand and gushed, "Adeline, your family is on the Greatest Families list?"


    "Oh God, that''s great!


    Congrattions!"


    "Hereafter, the Thatcher Family will rise in Eastshire. You''ll be a youngdy of the Ten Greatest


    Families.


    That''s great!"


    However, Adeline was not happy at all as regret filled her heart.


    She sat on the sofa as if she had lost her soul.


    Maeve did not notice her expression and kept muttering in excitement, "Adeline, your grandfather can


    really keep his cool. Look! So many masters came today except for your family. But your family got


    selected in the end, and those who came lost. This goes to show how capable your family is. These


    families are too weak; even if they had the help of the Seven Greatest Families, it didn''t work. Mr.


    Larson''s the one with power, and only he could decide who gets in."


    Adeline felt even worse as she heard Maeve''s excited exmations.


    As she took a stroll down memoryne, the person sitting beside her tonight was the most powerful


    man in Eastshire.


    To think that she was even angry at her grandfather and father, as she thought Matthew was not worthy


    of her and never even looked in his direction once.


    If she could have a second chance, she would definitely do anything just to leave a good impression on


    Matthew at all costs!


    Since everything had been settled, Matthew walked out of the room.


    Everyone crowded forward as they rushed to greet him or even get into his good graces if that were

    possible.


    These people were among the wealthiest and most influential people in Eastshire.


    Any one of them was of the same status as Old Master Thatcher.  Draмa?ovеls.cом


    Regardless, they were all respectful and humble before Matthew.


    His words shocked the room as everyone gaped at Lynn.


    Yet, Lucien''s eye brightened as hended his intense focus on her.
