Chapter 278

Looking alarmed, Mathew asked in a grim voice, “What happened?”

“It’s related to the Hughes…” Tiger said.

Matthew cut him off before Tiger could finish his sentence, “I’ll wait for you at the hospital!”

After ending the call with Tiger, he headed straight to the hospital. Although he did not kill Zachary and Samuel himself, they had indeed died because of his scheme.

As the Hughes were a very powerful family, they might have already started investigating Samuel’s death. Considering the possibility that his phone might be tapped, Matthew dared not mention anything about the Hughes to Tiger over the phone just now. It was best to have a face-to-face discussion about the issue thoroughly.

Ever since Matthew was transferred to the Department of Chinese Medicine, life became less hectic than the time he was working at the Emergency Department. At the moment, he was the only one working in that department. Not too long after he arrived at the hospital, Tiger secretly made his way there too, who then gave Matthew a brief account of what had taken place recently.

The bodies of Samuel and his men had already been discovered. Also, the Hughes had also managed to find out that Zachary’s parents were the murderer. Needless to say, the Jacksons were caught by surprise when they learned about this.

Without further ado, they sent some of their men to look for Zachary’s parents so that they could offer them to the Hughes to put an end to the issue. However, the Jacksons could no longer locate the both of them because they had left Eastshire last night.

The Hughes were of course enraged to learn about their runaway. Master Hughes even threatened to seek revenge on the Jackson Family himself.

In the afternoon, Old Master Jackson and Master Jackson rushed to Eastshire themselves, probably to visit the Hughes to settle the dispute. No matter how they were going to settle it, the Jacksons were highly likely to be removed from the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff after this incident.

As the people from the Hughes were not a bunch of pushovers, the Jacksons would not be able to solve the issue without paying a hefty price.

Matthew nodded his head slowly because everything was within his expectations. “What did you mean by something bad has happened?” Matthew quizzed in a solemn tone.

After taking a deep breath, Tiger revealed grimly, “It’s the Hughes. I was just told that the Pharmaceutical Union has issued a notice informing all pharmacies in Eastshire to stop selling drugs manufactured by Cunningham Pharmaceuticals!

It’s obvious that the Pharmaceutical Union is going to give Cunningham Pharmaceuticals a very hard time this time!”

A crease immediately formed on Matthew’s forehead because he had never expected they would be targeted by the Hughes first. It seemed like the Hughes were very decisive and direct in their way of handling matters.

Tiger, who stood next to Matthew, couldn’t help but suggest in a soft voice when he noticed Matthew was keeping quiet, “Mr. Larson, s-should we ask Master Newman for his help?

The Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire aren’t allowed to meddle the business in Eastcliff—this rule was set by Master Newman decades ago! I’m sure the Hughes will not have the guts to make a big deal out of the issue if they are warned by Master Newman!”

Matthew shook his head slowly and responded in a soft voice, “Since I’m the one who started the dispute, I should bear the responsibility of it myself.

Tiger, I told you before that we should try our best not to rely on other people’s help unless it’s the last resort. Although what we are having now is a very serious problem, we can see it as a chance for us to shine! If we manage to get through this hurdle, everyone will be impressed by our capability!”

With resignation written all over his face, Tiger replied, “Mr. Larson, I understand what you mean but the H-Hughes are after all one of the Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire.

The wealth and power of the Hughes is way beyond what the Sandels as well as Leanna Sandel have in total! I-I’m afraid it will be an uphill task for us to battle it out with the Hughes on our own…”

Matthew shook his head and reassured, “When there’s a will, there’s a way! We should just give it a try regardless of the outcome. Tiger, I’m afraid your life will get very hectic in the near future.

Now, what you need to do is gather some information about the Hughes for me, especially for the more important members of the family and I want to know everything about them!”

Tiger was stunned for a second because he realized Matthew had done the same thing before when he dealt with Samuel Hughes. Was Matthew going to use the same way to deal with the Hughes Family too?
