Chapter 381

Leanna was dressed very beautifully tonight and she already had gorgeous looks herself, so as soon as
she got out of the car, she outshone Crystal. When Crystal saw her, her expression immediately
changed.

She recognized Leanna and knew who she was. Even though Crystal had always been the most
beautiful girl in her school through the years, she was no match for Leanna. Whether it was looks, figure,
family background or identity, she was far inferior to Leanna!

She really didn’t expect that even Leanna, who was once the most beautiful woman in Eastcliff, would be
eyeing Matthew. At that moment, she finally understood what her grandfather meant when he spoke
about selfishness. A genius doctor like Matthew was indeed popular!

Unfortunately, she had missed her opportunity. Seeing Matthew get in Leanna’s car and leave, the smile
on Crystal’s face froze and she sighed in sorrow. After she climbed back into her car, tears silently
streamed down her cheeks. In the end, she paid the price for her greed, vanity, and arrogance!

At the same time, Travis sat in the VIP room upstairs and he looked pale. This time, Eastshire had
completely lost and once again ranked last while Eastcliff was the champion.

This comparison was enough to drive the Hughes crazy. He would definitely be in a difficult position once
he returned home!

“How could this be? How could this be?” Travis kept mumbling to himself.

The people around him glanced at each other. After a while, one of the men said timidly, “Young Master
Hughes, even though we have come to this, we can’t just sit back and wait for punishment!

Why don’t we talk to Matthew and ask him to give us the resources he won for Eastcliff? This way, we’ll
have something to offer your family when we return.”



Travis gritted his teeth and said, “You’re talking nonsense. How are you going to persuade him to give us
Eastcliff’s resources?”



The man continued softly, “Matthew treats his wife really well. Once we capture Sasha or her family, we
can force him to do what we want!”

Furious, Travis yelled, “It’s easy for you to say. We couldn’t even capture his family before this. Do you
really think you will succeed if we go now?”

The man replied, “Young Master Hughes, we didn’t fight till the end with them before because we already
had two hostages. Now that we have no way out, we can only give it our all.

If we manage to kidnap his family, things will turn for the better. If we fail… Young Master Hughes, with
our current situation, do we have any other options?”

Hearing this, Travis frowned and fell into deep thought. It was only after a long while did he nod and say,
“You’re right. We really don’t have a choice! Well then, proceed to capture his family. You—”

Before he finished his sentence, the door was suddenly flung open and a group of young people rushed
in. The person who led the group was Annie.

There was a flicker in her eyes when she saw Travis and she ran over to him excitedly. “Hello, Young
Master Hughes. It’s an honor to meet you!”

With a frown, Travis asked, “Who are you?”

Annie quickly smiled and replied, “I’m Crystal’s best friend and we met downstairs a moment ago. Crystal
led you upstairs just now and we couldn’t follow, so we waited downstairs. By the way, where is Crystal?
Is she not with you?”



Travis couldn’t help but feel startled. This is Crystal’s best friend? Why is she here?

In fact, Annie and the others didn’t know what had happened after Crystal brought Travis upstairs.

They thought that Crystal had a pleasant conversation with Travis so they quickly sneaked upstairs after
the conference ended.

Although they said that they were looking for Crystal, they were actually here to see Travis so that they
could form relationships with the heir of one of the Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire.

They had absolutely no clue what had happened at the conference.
