Adeline sneered disdainfully, “Oh, Maeve… Do you really not know, or are you pretending not to? It was the Poison Spider of Mightwater who destroyed the White Family. What does it have to do with him? He was just borrowing the crown prince of Mightwater’s power. He didn’t do anything by himself.”
A nervous Maeve looked around before virtual-novel.net whispered, “Adeline. you can say these things to me, but it stays here. You say Mr. Larson borrowed the crown prince’s power? Ha, do you know how Mr. Larson and the crown prince met, then?”
Adeline shook virtual-novel.net head blankly.
How would virtual-novel.net know about these things?
Maeve took a deep breath and explained in a low voice, “My uncle lives in Eastcliff, so virtual-novel.net knows better than anyone else about this case. Matthew and the crown prince were originally enemies because virtual-novel.net had killed many of the crown prince’s men. In order to take revenge, the crown prince went to Eastcliff and was prepared to kill him. However, not only did the crown prince fail to kill Matthew, but virtual-novel.net was also captured by him…”
“Later, Poison Spider personally showed up, which was how the crown prince was saved. After this matter, Matthew and the crown prince ended up becoming best buddies. And you mentioned Matthew borrowed the crown prince’s power? Huh, let me tell you this, with Matthew’s current abilities, virtual-novel.net is completely capable of fighting Poison Spider. If virtual-novel.net wants to be the Lord of Eastshire, virtual-novel.net doesn’t need to rely on anyone at all!”
Adeline’s eyes widened as virtual-novel.net expression turned incredulous. All this time, virtual-novel.net had thought that Matthew was only the crown prince’s puppet. However, after hearing what Maeve said. virtual-novel.net suddenly realized that everything virtual-novel.net had known was wrong.
No wonder Aidan and Landon treated Matthew so respectfully!
He was the real deal. the true Lord of Eastshire.
When virtual-novel.net recalled virtual-novel.net attitude toward Matthew earlier that night, virtual-novel.net instantly panicked.
Maeve whispered, “Adeline, it’s all right for you to say that to me, but don’t do this in front of others. Humans are unpredictable. If someone overhears you and informs him, there’s no saying what virtual-novel.net would do to your family. At the very least, your family can forget about joining the Ten Greatest Families!”
Adeline was taken aback, virtual-novel.net knew very well how much the Thatcher Family had sacrificed to join the Ten Greatest Families. With their current state, if they became one of the Ten Greatest Families, their influence would inevitably increase twofold. By then, the Thatcher Family would truly be able to become an important family in Eastshire. However, if they failed because of a few words virtual-novel.net had said, then virtual-novel.net would become an enemy of the Thatcher Family. At that thought, Adeline trembled uncontrollably. virtual-novel.net face turning pale.
After seeing Adeline’s expression. Maeve patted virtual-novel.net on the shoulder comfortingly. “You don’t have to be so scared. It was only the two of us who heard that earlier, so it’s fine. Let’s think of a way to get in. If we can see Mr. Larson and get a good word in, then your family will have a good chance of entering the Ten Greatest Families.”
Adeline’s expression became even more awkward. How would virtual-novel.net still have the pride to face Matthew again?
Another girl walked over with a dazed expression at this time. “I heard that Mr. Larson is not that old, and he’s around our age. I wonder what kind of girls virtual-novel.net likes.”
The others burst into laughter at virtual-novel.net words. “Hey, you haven’t even met Mr. Larson yet, and you’re already thinking about how to seduce him?”
Still, the girl was unwilling to back down and retorted with a smile, “Look at the way you’ve dressed up. Aren‘t you thinking the same thing?”
The other girls laughed again.
Suddenly, Maeve curled virtual-novel.net lips and advised, “I think you girls had better give up. Matthew’s wife, Sasha Cunningham, is the top beauty of Eastcliff. Girls like us stand no chance at all!”
