Chapter 291

Trying his best to suppress the raging fury inside him, Matthew questioned in a somber tone, “How’s he
now?”

“The ambulance has already brought him to the hospital but I have no idea of the specifics. I’m on my
way to the hospital now,” Tiger answered.

“Which hospital?”

“The hospital you’re working at!”

Matthew hung up on him and rushed to the hospital without hesitation.

When he reached the place, he could see Tiger and some of his men standing outside the surgery room
from afar.

“What’s the situation now?” Matthew asked anxiously.

In a quivering voice, Tiger responded, “The little girl is fine because Julian protected her with his body
when the accident happened, but his condition is somewhat critical. The doctors are still trying to rescue
him…”

Without another word, Matthew pushed the door to the surgery room open and barged inside, where Mr.
Harrison was busy carrying out the surgery.

There was no doubt Mr. Harrison was there to help out considering Julian was Matthew’s friend.



Matthew observed Julian’s condition and found that he was gravely injured. If it wasn’t for Mr. Harrison,
he might have already passed away.



However, at least he was still alive now, which meant there was still hope to bring him back.

After letting out a sigh to clear his head, Matthew immediately got to work and helped stabilize Julian’s
injury himself.

Together with Mr. Harrison, the two soon got Julian through the critical stage.

Matthew then took out a mini Rejuvenating Pill he had prepared recently and fed Julian with it.

Because of the accident, all the organs in Julian’s body had been injured. The mini Rejuvenating Pill
could nourish his organs and help him with a speedy recovery.

After Matthew cleaned up, he walked out of the surgery room.

Tiger, who was standing outside with a group of his men, apologized with a remorseful look, “Mr. Larson,
I’m sorry that I’ve failed to protect Julian well.”

Matthew waved his hands at him and clarified, “This has got nothing to do with you. Never have I
expected that people from the Hughes Family would actually dare to pull off something like this in broad
daylight! It seems like it’s about time I have closure with the Hughes Family. Tiger, I’m afraid you will get
busier in the coming days. Please send some of your men to keep a lookout here as well as my wife’s
place because I’m worried that the Hughes Family might be up to mischief again!”

Tiger nodded immediately and promised, “Mr. Larson, please don’t worry. I’ll dispatch all my men to keep
them safe from now on and if anything bad happens again, I’ll offer you my life!”

Matthew nodded slowly at him. With Tiger who could offer protection to his closest ones, he could be
spared from worrying about them.

Now, he should focus his attention on dealing with Travis Hughes!

He headed back to Cloud Creative Group where Connor was still waiting for him.



After stepping into the room, Matthew cut to the chase by asking, “Old Master Jackson, why did you
choose me?”

Connor took a deep breath before answering, “Mr. Larson, I must be lying to you if I tell you I chose you
because I saw the potential in you. I chose you purely because I have no other option. The Ten Greatest
Families in Eastcliff might be friendly with each other on the surface but in fact, we’re divided. Although
my family is still surviving, the other nine families have already started discussing how to share the pie of
my family business. On the other hand, Master Newman is the only man in Eastcliff who is capable of
competing with the Hughes, but he can’t make himself an enemy to them. Right now, you’re the only one
in the entire Eastcliff who has a feud with the Hughes and who’s battling it out with them. Therefore,
you’re my only option!”

Matthew nodded at him slowly because he found his statement believable.

Connor then muttered, “Mr. Larson, there might have been some misunderstanding between my family
and you but that doesn’t matter anymore now. This time, you and I are on the same boat to get even with
the Hughes. I don’t expect you to repay or reward me for the money I am going to offer you as
investment because I only want you to help me salvage my family business! My family business has
been in existence for a century and I can’t allow it to be destroyed in my hands!”

While he was talking, he suddenly got down on his knees and declared, “The fate of our family lies in
your hands, Mr. Larson. I don’t have many days left now and I only wish that Mr. Larson can help us. If
my family manages to get through this and survive, we will be willing to work for you without any
complaint!”

Instead of answering him right away, Matthew gazed at Connor and asked all of a sudden, “Why is Miss
Sandel related to this?”

Connor replied in a soft voice, “Although I am a man blinded by greed now, I did do some kind deeds
years ago. At the time when Miss Sandel was ousted by her family, I offered her help out of kindness. It



was her who helped me arrange this meeting today.”

Matthew nodded slowly.

He did not trust Connor but things were different if Leanna was involved in this.

It was not because Matthew trusted her but because she still needed him to save the lives of her
daughter as well as her bestie.

Therefore, he was sure Leanna wouldn’t sabotage him.

“In this case, it’s a deal! You shall contribute 3 billion for me and we will join forces to deal with the
Hughes!” Matthew announced.

Connor, who was elated to hear that, thanked him immediately. “Thank you so much, Mr. Larson!”

Matthew nodded at him before glancing at the door. “Miss Sandel, why don’t you just come in and join
the chat since you’re here?”

A chuckle came from somewhere outside the door before Leanna, who was wearing a full-white attire,
pushed the door open and walked inside.

“Mr. Larson, it seems like I really can’t keep any secret from you. To be honest, I’m really sorry for asking
you to be here so hastily without informing you in advance. It’s because I’m not in the position to interfere
with things between the Jacksons and you. Therefore, I thought I should let Old Master Jackson discuss
his plan with you directly so that you can decide what to do on your own will!”

Matthew nodded in approval because he thought it was right for her to do this.

If she was there just now to put in words for Connor’s sake, Matthew’s judgment would have been
affected because he had to consider her feelings.



“Mr. Larson, I can invest 1.5 billion in your medical association.”

Her offer caught Matthew by surprise because it had never occurred to him that Leanna would actually
want any part in this.

“Miss Sandel, we’re facing superb doctors from all six states this time and your money might go down
the drain in the end. Are you sure you want to do this?” Matthew asked.

Leanna waved her hands dismissively at once and confirmed, “There’s no need to think about it. Mr.
Larson, I can only offer 1.5 billion mainly because I don’t have much free cash available with me at the
moment. Otherwise, I wouldn’t even hesitate to invest 10 billion because I have full confidence in your
medical skill!”

Connor was shocked to hear that. Leanna had told him about Matthew’s excellent medical skills before
but he had no idea she actually trusted in his medical skills so much!

After leaving Cloud Creative Group, Matthew did a calculation.

With the 1.5 billion from Stanley, the 2 billion from Timothy, the 3 billion from the Jacksons, the 1.5 billion
from Leanna together with the 500 million from Cunningham Pharmaceuticals, he had already gathered
8.5 billion in total.

He only needed another 1.5 billion from Billy to have a total of 10 billion.

He gave a call to Billy, who was so decisive that he offered to invest 3.5 billion straightaway, which
brought Matthew’s fund to a total of 12 billion.

Matthew was taken aback by his offer. Indeed, Billy was different in his way of doing things compared to
the ordinary folks.

All the money was transferred to his bank card that night.



He then rushed to Cunningham Pharmaceuticals to meet Sasha and discussed his plan with her.

Without disclosing anything about his medical skills to her, he only told her it was for an investment.

Sasha agreed to fork out the 500 million without hesitation because she trusted him completely.

Of course, Cunningham Pharmaceuticals did not actually fork out 500 million.

As Matthew had the 300 million compensation sum from the Jacksons, Cunningham Pharmaceuticals
only needed to invest another 200 million.

After getting the money ready, Matthew gave Stanley a call informing him to start handling the
administration procedure which followed next.

The medical conference would be held three days later. As Stanley was handling it himself, three days
were enough for him to complete everything which was required to kickstart the association.

Matthew went to the hospital to work as usual the next morning.

As soon as he stepped into the office, he saw James and the others sitting inside.

His heart gave a lurch as he wondered what had happened again which was grave enough to bring them
here.

Demi, who was the first to notice him, shrieked, “He’s here! That b*stard is here!”

Helen went bananas like a furious beast. “Matthew, you scumbag! How dare you try to sabotage my
daughter? Why did you ask her to get a loan of 200 million for you? Are you trying to get her killed?!” she
yelled.
