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?
