The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 1051
An Eye for an Eye
At the Lewis Residence, all the main members of the Ten Greatest Families were basically there. This included their respective old masters and current family heads.
The status of attendees reflected how serious this incident was to Eastcliff. As the temporal representative of the Lewis Family, Franklin greeted the guests personally. After they were all seated in the courtyard, he then proceeded to recount and embellish last night’s events.
However, the Ten Great Families already knew the event he told them about.
After Franklin finished, the White’s new family head uttered straight-forwardly, “Mr. Lewis, even after you’ve said so much, why isn’t that Matthew guy here yet?”
Since the last family head of the Whites, Declan, got dealt with, most of their members also got caught in the aftermath. So now, there were a lot of new faces in their ranks. As a result, the White’s reach was reduced a lot by this change of power.
Their family now was only a shadow of their former self, as they were reduced to being at the bottom rank of the Ten Greatest Families.
Sighing, Franklin replied, “Just saying his name makes me mad. I wanted to bring that b*stard here, but Billy was protecting him. Last night, Stanley’s cousin, the one who’s called the South Street’s Tiger or whatever, brought thugs and beat countless of our family members up! We… were so incompetent that we couldn’t even catch the person who murdered our head! I have thoroughly shamed my ancestors!”
Saying this, Franklin started to wipe his crocodile tears. His pitiful condition angered those on relatively good terms with the Lewis Family.
“How insolent! He is just intentionally provoking the Ten Greatest Families by killing one of our heads!”
“Tell me about it! If he had the means to kill the head of the Lewis Family, that means he could strike at any one of the other heads tomorrow! We should stay on high alert!”
“Does he think he could do as he pleases just because Billy is protecting him? Does he think that the Ten Greatest Families are pushovers?”
“Hmph, this time we’ll fight to the end! So that they know that the power of the Ten Greatest Families is not just for show!”
The various outbursts of the attendees made Franklin cheer gleefully inside, as this was the exact outcome he desired. Just as everybody was busy venting their anger, a sarcastic voice could be heard from the entrance. “Oh, everyone’s already here? Did you guys get together in advance to discuss how best to frame me?”
Turning their heads, they saw Matthew walking in slowly. Under the watchful eyes of the Ten Greatest Families was Matthew, who kept his cool and had a smile on his face, looking as if he was taking a stroll in the park!
His expression made them look at each other cluelessly. It was then that the head of the White Family stood up and declared, “Matthew! How dare you kill the head of the Lewis Family! If a suitable explanation is not given today, the Ten Greatest Families will not let you off the hook!”
The head’s words made the other families agree in unison.
With a calm expression, Matthew glanced at him. “What? Do you still want revenge for Declan? A word of advice for you, keep a low profile for now. If any more misfortune really befalls the remaining members of your family, then the Whites would truly be left without an heir!”
The head of the White Family’s expression soured almost instantly. Without an heir?! This is just too insulting.
Just then, the head of the Sandels, Robert, broke his silence. “You impudent brat! I know that you and Billy are very close! But nothing in this world can escape karma. An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth! Not only did you not repent after killing the head of the Lewis Family, but you’re also even acting so arrogant now just because you have Billy’s backing! You really think none of us can go up against you, do you?”
As the Sandel Family was the de facto leader of the Ten Greatest Families, Robert’s words made the other families all band together in agreement.
Half the people present were staring daggers at Matthew, as if they were mortal enemies.
The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 1052
Let Him Speak While Kneeling
Shooting a glance at the head of the Sandel Family, Matthew knew he was out to get him. Due to Leanna’s incident, the Sandels kept thinking that Matthew had caught feelings for her.
Yet as the family could not control Leanna, they could only harbor this hatred toward him inside. As they thought the perfect opportunity had presented itself, they started to aim for Matthew.
“I don’t know if there is anyone here capable enough to match up against me. But, what I do know is if every member of the Ten Great Families were as stupid as you, then I would have wasted my trip here,” Matthew said t nonchalantly.
The blatant insult made Robert burst out with anger. “How dare you still be so arrogant at this trial set up by the Ten Greatest Families! Such impudence even after murdering the Lewis Family’s head! Men, break his legs first! Let him speak while kneeling!” Sandel’s head ordered furiously.
Immediately, men came rushing from the side, with all of them being masters hired by the Sandel Family. They knew the fact that Matthew was not a weak opponent by any means, so in turn, the dispatched people were all peak masters.
Seeing the situation quickly unravel, some of the families also sent out their people to surround Matthew.
Franklin, who witnessed the whole episode, was grinning ear to ear inside. This was what he wanted all along—to use the Ten Greatest Families to kill Matthew for him. Indirectly, it would equate to him avenging his brother. Hence, in doing so, he would naturally be able to ascend to the position of the family head!
Just then, Matthew sneered, which only served to enrage them further.
“Get him!”
The command of the White’s family head, which worked like a bomb, set off the masters, who dashed toward Matthew.
At that moment, a powerful voice came from the entrance. “Watch them closely, Ken! Kill whoever touches Mr. Larson!”
All their expressions changed at once as they followed the source of the voice, only to see Billy walking loftily toward them, accompanied by a group of his subordinates. His right-hand man, Ken, who was beside him, ran inside with a group of people, fiercely looking at the masters of the Ten Greatest Families.
Seeing this situation shocked Robert. Billy personally came? Well, this is unexpected!
In their eyes, the evidence that Matthew killed Donovan was so definitive that even Billy would not be able to deny that fact. So, why did he come? Was he going to ignore the rules and immorally protect Matthew?
Drawing a deep breath, Robert spoke in a low voice. “I would never have thought that today’s incident would alert even Master Newman! Do you still remember that you said you would not break the rules set by the Ten Greatest Families? Are you going to go back on your own words now?”
Walking to the courtyard, Billy sat down and said coldly, “Robert, I’ll have you know that I never go back on what I’ve said.”
Robert Sandel—the one leading the Sandels—frowned, as no one had addressed him with his first name for a good number of years. But, as it was from Billy, he could only accept this fact quietly.
“If so, then what are your actions implying right now?” Robert asked in a low voice.
Billy simply replied, “Mr. Larson is a friend of mine. If you want to trial him, I’m fine with it! But if you want to torture him to get him to agree to crimes that he never committed, then I’m afraid you’ll have to answer to me first!”
His statement made the Ten Greatest Families’ members buzz noisily.
Rebuking him, Robert said with a severe tone, “Nobody is torturing him, nor are we framing him, Master Newman! The fact that he killed Donovan is a fact! Is it wrong that we are out to seek revenge after he broke the rules set by us?”
Glancing at him, Billy questioned, “He killed Donovan? Do you have any evidence?”
Immediately, Robert answered confidently, “Of course we do! We have video evidence that Matthew hit Donovan that day, together with his autopsy report. According to it, he died due to hemorrhaging in his organs which was caused by heavy blows! There was only one person who fought with Donovan that day. If it was not Matthew who did it, then who was it?”
The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 1053
Now, This Is What I Call Evidence
After Robert finished, the other family’s heads started to voice their own opinions. They had all seen the evidence even before they had arrived. At that moment, they all firmly believed that Matthew was the murderer, as the evidence was conclusive.
Keeping a still expression, Billy looked as if all the people there were of no importance. After a while, Robert waved his hand, motioning the members to stop talking.
“Master Newman, do you want to look at the evidence?” Robert asked with a wintry smirk.
Waving his hand, Billy said, “No need. I’m not interested in these worthless things you call evidence.”
Robert’s expression didn’t look too well, after which he barked, “What do you mean by this, Master Newman? Both the video and the autopsy report are things that have been verified as the truth. If you think that these are worthless, does that mean that you are going to protect Matthew no matter what? Hmph, do you really think that the Ten Greatest Families are so useless that they could be simply trampled on?” As Robert said that, he was so furious that he even slammed the table.
All the members were all looking at Billy menacingly, as if they were going to fight with him till the end.
Smiling, Billy replied with scorn, “Only fools would believe this so-called evidence. Mr. Larson, I think you should just tell them straight instead of wasting more words on these fools.”
Nodding, Matthew took out a pen drive, stating, “Do you all want to know how Donovan really died? After watching this video, you will all understand the truth!”
Stunned, everyone wondered the same thing. What is this, dejavu? Why is Matthew showing us yet another video?
Last time, due to the video taken by Matthew, they were able to prove that the true culprit was Samuel.
Will the incident with Donovan also go down similarly?
At that moment, everyone looked toward Franklin. Stunned by this situation, Franklin was also just as clueless.
By then, Billy’s subordinates had already connected the pen drive to the television. On the huge screen was the scene where Franklin went to find the people he hired in Orleans last night.
At that time, Matthew had placed a phone by the side, which recorded the whole process, including their conversation. Seeing this, Franklin had his expression changed for the worse. He had always thought the fact that he hired Orleans’ Voodoo Clan was an undisclosed secret.
Yet, who knew that Matthew had already found this out in advance, and the key point was that Matthew even recorded this video?
Franklin felt his whole body slowly freeze, just listening to the conversation. At that point, he knew that he would not be able to cover up his misdeeds any longer.
Silently stepping back, he was preparing to slip away while everyone’s attention was still fixated on the video. But just as he took a few steps backward, a few of Billy’s men had already blocked his retreat, making him unable to escape.
After hearing Franklin’s words in the video, the people who were watching it burst into heated discussions. Even the Lewis Family, who were all greatly shocked, discussed at length the video.
Who could have thought that the one who orchestrated the death of Donovan was his own brother, Franklin?
Billy gave Robert a side-eye. “So, Mr. Sandel, do you still believe now that Matthew killed Donovan?”
Turning ghostly white, Robert—in his wildest dreams—did not think that things would take such a turn. He thought he had conclusive evidence of Matthew’s crime this time. Yet, who could have predicted a twist in the story?
After a pause, Robert suddenly uttered, “W-Where did this video come from?”
Hearing this made Billy stand up as he slammed the table. “Were you going to say that the video is fake, Robert? Hmph, let’s make a bet then. You can verify the source! But! If it turns out to be authentic, then I want your whole family exterminated! If it turns out to be fake, then my life will be in your hands. How about it?”
His words made Robert jump in shock, as he knew that behind Billy’s words was extreme confidence. Originally, he wanted to brush this aside by saying that there might be a problem with the video.
But now, he did not dare to utter even a peep.
The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 1054
Holding the Old Master Hostage
After Robert fell silent, the others followed suit. For a short time, the whole courtyard was plunged into dead silence.
Seeing this, Billy swept his gaze across, dissatisfied. “What, cat got all of your tongues? I recall hearing y’all wanting to break his legs. Is everyone amnesic now that Matthew is proven not to be the murderer? Come on, speak up!”
Looking toward Robert, everyone wore an extremely sour expression. After all, he was the leader of the Ten Greatest Families. Under such an awkward circumstance, Robert breathed deeply and burst out, “Franklin, you owe us an explanation.”
Franklin, of course, was on the verge of losing it. “This is all fake! How could you believe such a thing, Mr. Sandel? I’ve never even met these people in my life. Matthew must have found a person that looked like me to orchestrate this fake video in hopes of duping us all!”
Sneering at the questionable explanation, Matthew retorted, “Really? Then, explain the medicine you brought back to ‘save’ your family last night. Also, how are you planning to explain the fact that you drove all the way to the house in the suburbs last night? There are surveillance cameras all the way from your home to the house, which we have footage of. Shall we take a look just in case?”
Matthew’s words made Franklin sweat as he turned pasty white, for he knew he had run out of excuses now.
Matthew continued, “Oh, right, I have another video here. It details my wife’s cousin, Minerva, meeting up with Donovan’s driver, Ollie. He was bribed by Franklin to give her five million to let her lure my mother-in-law out. After Franklin kidnapped my mother-in-law, he framed Aaron. Hmph, with all the intelligent people gathered here, I think you all should know what his aim is!”
At that moment, even the members of the Lewis Family erupted noisily. As they were not complete fools, they already knew that Franklin’s aim in kidnapping Helen was to make Matthew fight to the death with Aaron.
If Franklin succeeded, he would have become the official head of the Lewis Family. His plan would not only get rid of Donovan, but also his son in one fell swoop. The sheer cruelty of the devious man’s deeds made everyone outraged!
Then, Aaron, who stood together with the crowd, could no longer hold it in and bellowed, “Franklin Lewis! You owe me my father’s life!”
Following Aaron, the members of the Lewises also burst out in anger. Looking at Franklin disappointedly, Old Master Lewis questioned, “F-Franklin, how could you do such a thing? They are your brother and nephew by blood; how could you bring yourself to harm them?”
Forced by the crowd, Franklin kept stepping back with sweat dripping all over him, looking extremely pathetic. He knew he was thoroughly finished now that things had come to this point.
Suddenly, he turned around sharply and dashed in the direction of his father. Holding Old Master Lewis by the neck, he shouted as he aimed a dagger at it, “Stay back!”
Everybody was astonished by this unexpected development. Who could have thought that Franklin would actually hold his own father hostage?
Trembling with anger, the old master uttered, “Franklin, you unfilial b*stard, how could you do this? You let go of me right now! Let go of me!”
Seeing the old master struggle and the crowd slowly closing in, Franklin clenched his teeth and pricked his father’s skin with the dagger.
“Don’t come any closer! If you do, I swear I’ll kill him!”
His words halted their progress as they were petrified of the delirious Franklin killing his own father. Old Master Lewis also stopped struggling upon hearing his words.
“F-Franklin, what are you saying? I’m your father!”
The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 1055
The Cornered Beast Struggles
Old Master Lewis’ words made Franklin laugh out terrifyingly. “My father? Hmph, what kind of father are you? How am I worse in any way when compared to Donovan? Why is it that he became the family head while I stayed as a nobody in the family? His son, daughter, and even that bstard son have a higher living standard than me. That bstard of his caused the death of so many innocents all these years, yet he still lives as a free man. And what about my son? One incident involving one person’s life was enough for you all to chase him out of Cathay, banishing him for eternity. Why, why, why! We are all your sons and grandsons. Why are you so biased?”
Instantly, the old master’s expression became sour. “That’s because he is your elder brother! Everything in the family was supposed to be inherited by him! The eldest son always took the helm of the family. That is the iron rule set by the Ten Greatest Families!”
Franklin sneeringly replied, “Is that so? Then, how did you get the position of the family head, dear father? And how did your father get his? By your logic, if the eldest son always inherited the family, then the current family head would be Felix, and you would just be another nobody, no?”
His reply silenced Old Master Lewis, as he could not find a way to rebuke his son.
Falling in a state of madness, Franklin shouted, “The winners write the history. I accept the fact that I lost today. But, I have never regretted that I killed Donovan! If it really was a fair fight, that loser can’t even hope to match up to me! I could’ve brought the family to the next level to make us prosper even further! It was your blindness that prevented me from being the next family head! This is all you all’s faults!”
In a soft voice, Billy said to Matthew, “The man’s gone insane.”
Smiling, Matthew quipped, “I think that’s the normal reaction, though. If even an illegitimate child could live that lavishly in the Lewis Family, then it’s quite apparent that Donovan was not a fair person! Even if Franklin did not rebel against him now, there would be some other person in the future.”
Calmly nodding, Billy clearly understood the points Matthew alluded to. On the other hand, Robert didn’t appear to be as energetic as he was, with colors draining from his face.
He had planned to trial Matthew for today’s proceedings. Yet, never did he think things would turn out like this. The Ten Greatest Families’ dignity had been completely lost at this point! Outraged, he demanded, “Franklin, put the dagger down now!”
With a fierce expression, Franklin bellowed, “Don’t come any closer! I will not put my dagger down! Prepare a car for me immediately so that I can leave here. O-Otherwise, I will kill him! If I let him go now, I would undoubtedly die on the spot. So even if I did, I’m going to drag him down with me!”
Robert burst out in anger, “You dare?”
Clenching his teeth, Franklin stabbed the dagger into his father’s shoulder. This made Old Master Lewis cry out painfully. Seeing this, Robert had his face turned from anger to fear. Did he really go crazy? Is he really going to kill his own father?
Then, Matthew smiled. “Mr. Sandel, I think you should stop talking now. Or will you only be satisfied when your words lead Old Master Lewis to an early grave?”
This sentence made Robert sour. Because of this, quite a lot of people from the Lewis Family looked at him with resentment.
In their eyes, it was due to Robert’s words that agitated Franklin and made him hurt the old master. Annoyed by their gazes, Robert instead just sat back down and washed his hands of this matter.
“I said to prepare a car for me! Are you all deaf? Or will you all only listen when I stab his other shoulder?” Franklin shouted again madly.
All the members of the Lewis Family looked at each other as they were all hesitating on what to do.
Shooting a glance at Felix, Matthew knew that this was the perfect timing for him to save the day and turn the tide. Drawing in a deep breath, Felix had already prepared himself for this since last night.
“Franklin, we can give you a car! But the old master is still bleeding, and I hope you can staunch his bleeding first.”
The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 1056
You Owe Me an Explanation
Felix’s words immediately garnered the favor of many people in the Lewis Family. Old Master Lewis, after all, was highly respected, and although the Lewis Family was going through a lot, they still greatly cared about him.
However, Franklin waved his dagger and threatened, “What do you mean by stopping the blood? Don’t try to get close to me. If anyone dares to come over, I’ll kill you!”
Felix replied in a low voice, “We won’t approach you, but we’ll throw some gauze over so that you can bandage his wound. Franklin, he’s your father! Do you have the heart to watch him keep bleeding out like this?”
Franklin looked at his old man, and in the end, he gave in. “Okay, you guys can throw the gauze over. But listen closely! If anyone, even a single person, comes near, I’ll send him away!” he roared.
Hearing that, Felix quickly waved his hand and summoned someone to bring some gauze over. Standing roughly twenty feet away from Franklin, he tossed the gauze according to Franklin’s instructions.
Right as Franklin stretched out his hand to pick it up, Matthew flicked his finger, causing a small stone to fly out and hit Old Master Lewis’ bent leg. The old man let out a low cry as his body keeled over involuntarily. In an instant, Franklin’s face dropped, and he hurriedly scrambled to catch the falling man.
Meanwhile, Felix had been waiting for this opportunity. Without wasting a second, he rushed over and grabbed the dagger, turning his hand into a bloody mess, but he refused to let go. Instead, he desperately clung to Franklin, making him unable to kill Old Master Lewis.
Around them, everyone else was shell-shocked by the sudden escalation of events. Seeing that, Billy slammed on the table and yelled, “Ken, go and help! What kind of sh*tty Ten Greatest Families are you? Why are you just standing around and watching the show?”
His words made the members of the Ten Greatest Families come to their senses. However, Ken had already rushed over with someone and subdued Franklin. Old Master Lewis clambered back in panic, his body trembling all over with fear, as if he had just crawled back from hell.
Meanwhile, Ken held Franklin down and broke both of his legs, completely incapacitating him so that he could only lie on the ground and howl in agony.
Felix got up. Four of his fingers were almost cut off as blood gushed out of his wounds profusely. At that moment, the admiration in the eyes of everyone in the Lewis Family grew when they looked at him.
It was only then that the rest of the Ten Greatest Families rushed forward. Robert kicked Franklin a few times as he spewed curses to vent his anger. After the chaos continued a while, things finally calmed down.
Once Old Master Lewis’ wound was bandaged, he sat down again, looking as if he had aged a few decades. “I’m really sorry that such an embarrassing thing happened today. Since it was proved that Donovan was not killed by Matthew, this is the end of today’s public trial. Once I finish handling the family affairs, I’ll personally apologize to everyone!” He couldn’t help but let out a low sigh.
Hearing that, the members of the Ten Greatest Families expressed their understanding and prepared to get up and leave.
At that moment, Matthew suddenly stood up and interrupted, “Wait a minute. Everyone, is it going to end just like this? Don’t you owe me an explanation?”
The Ten Greatest Families exchanged glances as Robert demanded, “We’ve already proved that you are innocent. What else do you want us to say?”
Matthew sneered, “Did you prove it? No, I proved it myself! I didn’t kill anyone. You called me here for no reason and even wanted to break my leg. Don’t you need to give me an explanation for this ordeal?”
Reaching his limit, Aaron burst out, “Matthew, know your place! Yes, you didn’t kill my dad. But, in the end, you were the one who injured him. How will you pay for this? Also, Dickson fell to his death after he was pushed downstairs by your men. Can you deny everything I said? If you really want to clear your name, what will you do about this?”
Aaron’s words had helped Robert find an excuse.
“Yes, Matthew, how do you plan on settling this?” Robert sneered.
The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 1057
Is Dickson a Part of the Ten Greatest Families?
Matthew laughed loudly. “Hah! I was worried that you’d forgotten about it! Since you brought it up, let’s settle things once and for all. ”
At his response, everyone was taken aback. How was Matthew still able to refute those statements?
“First, let’s talk about Dickson! He’s Donovan’s illegitimate son, so is he considered a member of the Ten Greatest Families? I hope to get an answer,” Matthew declared.
Hearing that, everyone glanced around at each other. His question did make things a little awkward.
Meanwhile, Aaron’s expression was livid. Before this, he didn’t recognize Dickson as a part of the Ten Greatest Families at all, even thinking it was humiliating. However, now that things had come to this point, he had no choice but to admit it.
“He has the blood of the Lewis Family in him, so of course, he is part of my family!” Aaron announced loudly.
“Good!” Matthew clapped his hands and continued with a smile, “Since you’ve admitted it, let’s deal with Dickson next! First, I’ll explain why I gave him a hard time. Dickson sent someone to attack my wife and me on the road in an attempt to kidnap my wife, Sasha, with the intention of assaulting her! Given the circumstances, was I the one looking for trouble?”
In an instant, Aaron’s expression turned into an embarrassment. Dickson was lustful and had done many similar deeds before, but they had turned a blind eye. Provoking Matthew this time was truly a death wish.
Through gritted teeth, Aaron explained, “He was just attempting to kidnap her, but he didn’t kidnap nor assault her in the end. You could’ve taught him a lesson, but what was the point of killing him?”
Matthew replied, “Yes, I was teaching him a lesson. But he resisted! Not only that, he also tried to kill me. By the way, all of you should know that there used to be a girl who was assaulted by Dickson. Her boyfriend went after Dickson, but was thrown down from upstairs. Afterward, when the boy’s mother went to find Dickson as well, she was met with the same fate. I was worried that he would do the same to me, so I defended myself. However, during the process, he accidentally fell downstairs. Can you blame me for that?”
Matthew’s words made everyone uncomfortable in an instant. Aaron roared angrily, “You… You’re being unreasonable!”
Matthew sneered, “Unreasonable? Hah, do I need to list out all of the bad things that Dickson had done? Robert, what do you say? Do you need to refresh your memory?”
Hearing that, Robert erupted in a fury. “What does it have to do with me? Matthew, be careful with what you say, and don’t you dare try to slander me!”
Rising to his full height, Billy retorted, “How is this slandering you? Aaron just admitted that Dickson is a part of the Ten Greatest Families! If that’s the case, shouldn’t the Ten Greatest Families take responsibility for the heinous crimes he had committed?”
Robert gaped blankly, unable to refute. He finally understood why Matthew had just forced the Lewis family to admit Dickson’s status.
Matthew is planning to drag the Ten Greatest Families into the matter!
After a moment of silence, Robert insisted stubbornly, “Dickson is just an illegitimate child. How is he a part of the Ten Greatest Families? As a part of the Ten Greatest Families, I won’t agree to it!”
With just a single sentence, he had cut ties with Dickson. However, Billy chuckled coldly in response. “If you don’t agree to it, then how are the Ten Greatest Families qualified to talk about Dickson?”
At a loss for words, Robert started stammering. “I… I…”
Without waiting for him to speak, Billy continued coldly, “Now, I’ll give you two choices! One, admit that Dickson is a part of the Ten Greatest Families and take responsibility for everything he has done! Two, if you don’t acknowledge him, then you have to apologize to Mr. Larson because this matter does not involve Ten Greatest Families, and you’re not qualified to question him!”
Robert was taken aback. He didn’t expect his casual remark would snowball into something big. The Ten Greatest Families were definitely unwilling to bear the sins committed by Dickson, but he was even more unwilling to apologize to Matthew!
The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 1058
A Shameless Robert
Robert fell silent for a moment before he demanded, “Aaron, you were the one who brought up this matter just now. Now, you should be the one to apologize to Matthew as well!”
As soon as he uttered those words, the expressions of everyone in the Lewis Family turned sour. Even the other families were looking at Robert with dissatisfied gazes. Robert was outrageous for demanding someone else to apologize. As the leader of the Ten Greatest Families, it was simply disdainful to watch him push the blame on a younger person at the most critical moment.
Billy smiled without saying a word. This was the outcome he had wanted—to weaken Robert’s influence in the Ten Greatest Families. That way, it would make it even easier for Matthew to gain control of the Ten Greatest Families in the future.
On the contrary, Aaron’s expression was sullen as he was truly unwilling to apologize to Matthew.
At that moment, Felix walked out and cajoled in a soft voice, “Mr. Larson, how about I apologize to you on Aaron’s behalf? He had just lost his father and is still grieving his death, so he might’ve spoken out of line. I hope you understand, Mr. Larson.”
Felix’s words once again made the Lewis Family look at him with admiration. After experiencing such a big event, Old Master Lewis was almost at his limit, and the Lewis Family was lacking someone who could lead them. At that moment, Felix emerged and saved Old Master Lewis, and now he was taking responsibility and apologizing on Aaron’s behalf. His actions made the Lewis Family look at him differently.
Matthew replied, “Felix, it’s not crucial to apologize to me. As Aaron said, my wife was not injured in any way, and Dickson died. For me, this matter has already been written off. However, what will happen to the people that Dickson had hurt before?”
Felix was silent for a moment before he responded solemnly, “Today, I’ll pledge a vow. Although Dickson is not from the Lewis Family, he still has our blood, so we are willing to bear what he has done. As for those victims, I will personally apologize to each of them and compensate them fairly at the same time!”
With those words, the other members of Ten Greatest Families became impressed with Felix as well. Now that Donovan was dead, the Lewis Family couldn’t wait to cut all their remaining ties with Dickson. Only Felix was willing to apologize and make amends for this incident. This was what it truly meant to take responsibility!
Upon seeing everyone’s expressions, Matthew gloated inwardly. What he had to do now was to help Felix rise to power. He wanted Felix to become the patriarch of the Lewis Family and let him have absolute control over them! In fact, Felix’s current words and actions were all instructed by Matthew beforehand.
Hearing that, Matthew nodded in satisfaction. “Okay, then the issue about Dickson will end here. Next, let’s talk about why I hurt Donovan. I wanted to teach Dickson a lesson, but Donovan stopped me. Wasn’t I supposed to fight back? Since he had thrown the first punch, things got out of control, and one of us was naturally bound to get hurt, so what does it have to do with me?”
Everyone in the Lewis Family fell into deathly silence, and even Aaron couldn’t say anything to refute Matthew’s words.
With a sneer, Matthew continued, “It seems that everyone has no objection to my statement. Good. Let’s continue.”
At that moment, Matthew suddenly pointed at Aaron and shouted, “Aaron, now it’s time to settle matters between us!”
Aaron was taken aback by the sudden declaration. “W-What matters are there between us to settle? I didn’t take Helen last night, and you know that! Franklin was framing me, so what will come out of you coming after me?”
Unfazed, Matthew replied icily, “I’m not talking about Helen. I’m talking about the fact that you sent someone to capture my family last night! You injured many of Tiger’s men. How are you going to pay for this?”
The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 1059
It’s Time for Me to Make You Pay
Aaron’s expression faltered, and he rushed to defend himself. “M-Matthew, stop spewing nonsense! Tiger’s men were not the only ones who were injured last night. My own people got hurt as well. On what basis are you going to make me pay?”
Matthew replied, “The reason why there are so many casualties is that you sent people to capture my family, and Tiger and his men went to stop you. This incident started because of you. Your people deserved to be injured! If you didn’t send them to seize my family, this wouldn’t have happened. Tiger’s men got injured while protecting my family, so of course, it’s on you.”
In an instant, Aaron’s complexion turned pale, and he hurriedly said, “I-I was trying to take revenge last night because I thought you killed my father?”
Matthew countered, saying, “You thought? Then, did I kill your father? ”
Once again, Aaron was unable to rebuke.
“I didn’t kill your father, but you sent someone to capture my family! Tiger sent people to protect them, but you injured so many of his subordinates! Hence, shouldn’t I settle matters with you?” Matthew roared angrily.
Aaron’s face had turned white, and he couldn’t say a word in return. Now that he thought about it, he could only blame himself for being too impulsive. Last night, he was certain that Matthew had killed his father and was eager to take revenge. However, the tables had turned unexpectedly, and he had no way of defending his actions during the previous night.
With his gaze sweeping over everyone in the room, Matthew declared loudly, “As the Ten Greatest Families are all here today, please give me your opinions! Does he owe me an explanation for this matter or not?”
Hearing that, everyone exchanged glances with one another, but no one spoke. Everyone in the Ten Greatest Families clearly understood that Aaron did indeed act out of impulse. If Matthew wanted to hold Aaron accountable, there was nothing the latter could do.
Old Master Lewis trembled with anger. “Aaron, you… How could you be so foolish? Sigh, Mr. Larson, the Lewis Family was in the wrong! How about this? I’ll apologize to you. We are willing to take responsibility for all the damage done to Tiger and his men…”
Matthew sneered, “Old Master Lewis, I don’t like what you’re saying. It’s true that the Lewis Family is rich. However, I, Matthew, am not poor either! The problem isn’t money—I just can’t sit this down! Oh, you hurt some of our people, so you can just throw some money and call it a day? If that’s the case, then I also have some money. How about I beat up the people from the Lewis Family and pay you off?”
At his words, Old Master Lewis’s expression turned sour. “Then… What do you want?”
Matthew looked at Aaron coldly. “Since the Ten Greatest Families are here to interrogate me today, then I hope that you will also solve this matter along the way! Aren’t the rules important to you? Then use your rules to deal with this matter!”
The heads of the Ten Greatest Families looked at each other. Matthew had roped all of them in using Aaron. As for everyone else, their gazes toward Aaron turned even more hostile. Because of a moment of impulse, Aaron had screwed all of them over.
On the other hand, Matthew looked calm as he deliberately made a big fuss. He knew that after Franklin passed away, Old Master Lewis would most likely let Aaron be the head of the family, and no matter what Felix did, he was unwilling to pass on the position to Felix. Therefore, not only did Matthew have to help Felix gain power, he also had to get rid of Aaron.
Regardless of the final outcome of this matter, the rest of the Ten Greatest Families would definitely not acknowledge Aaron anymore. That way, it was simply impossible for Aaron to be the head of the family, and Old Master Lewis could only let Felix take over!

Betrayal
In the end, Old Master Lewis had no choice but to severely punish Aaron and dish out a large sum of compensation as payback to Matthew. After everything had been settled, Matthew left with Billy.
The Lewis Family’s courtyard was in chaos as the Ten Greatest Families remained present.
The head of the White Family’s face was full of fury, and he slammed the table forcefully. “He’s too arrogant! He doesn’t have an ounce for the Ten Greatest Families at all!”
The other heads of families nodded along in agreement. The events of the day did put a bad taste in their mouths.
Robert waved his hand dismissively. “He’s just a nobody, so why should you care? Anyway, the Lewis Family is still the most important issue at the moment. Old Master Lewis, we’re also deeply saddened that such a tragedy happened to the Lewis Family, but I hope you can still elect a new head as soon as possible. Matthew is closing in on us, and it seems like he is aiming for everyone in the Ten Greatest Families, so we can’t just sit still. Electing a new head of the family as soon as possible is our priority!”
Hearing Robert’s reasoning, the other families couldn’t help but feel surprised. Although the Ten Greatest Families were an alliance, it wasn’t any of their business to elect the head of another family, as it wasn’t their household affairs. Therefore, it was unprecedented for Robert to put his two cents into the Lewis Family’s affairs. What on earth was he planning?
As Old Master Lewis’ injuries were not light, he was on the verge of fainting. Just when he had planned to go back and rest, Robert chose this time to bring up the matter of electing a new head of the Lewis Family. He glanced at Robert, who quietly met his gaze with a smile on his face.
Really? Now, of all times? Old Master Lewis knew Robert wanted to intervene in the Lewis Family’s selection of a new head. Each person had their own motives, and Robert was definitely not doing this for the good of the Lewis Family. He only had one purpose for being so involved in their affairs—to help his favorite candidate ascend the throne. Once he succeeded, this person would be grateful to him and repay his kindness.
To put it bluntly, Robert only wanted to seize this opportunity to benefit from the Lewis Family.
Struggling to take a breath, Old Master Lewis mumbled, “About that… E-Everyone in the Lewis Family has to get together and discuss it in the long run.”
With a chuckle, Robert replied, “That’s what you might think, but a huge scene was caused this time. When Matthew left, he said that he wanted the Lewis Family to solve the matter immediately. Even if you don’t choose a new head now, you have to find at least one acting leader to solve these matters. This is the promise that the Ten Greatest Families made to Matthew. If we can’t do it, wouldn’t it be a disgrace to the Ten Greatest Families? ”
By now, the other families had already guessed Robert’s intentions, and they each spoke out to express their agreement. The Ten Greatest Families each harbored sinister intention. Though they acted like an alliance on the surface, the truth was that they all wanted to weaken the power of the other families in order to gain more profits.
Old Master Lewis was boiling with anger. The betrayal of the other nine families was absolutely loathsome!
He inhaled a deep breath before declaring, “Thank you all for your kind reminder. Since everything happened so suddenly, we had no time to discuss this matter, so in accordance with the practice of the Ten Greatest Families, the eldest son will succeed the throne. Aaron, your father was the previous head. As his eldest son, you will be the acting head of the family!”
Hearing that, Aaron couldn’t help but feel overjoyed. Needless to say, he wanted to be the head of the family as well.
However, Robert waved his hand as a form of disagreement. “Old Master Lewis, I don’t think Aaron is a suitable candidate. The incident last night had gone too far. Although it happened for a reason, as the head of the family, one must be imposing and commanding, not a reckless man who can only flaunt their superiority! If such a person becomes the head, they will not only drag down the Lewis Family but also the Ten Greatest Families, won’t they?”
