Chapter 1015

No Change in Plan

After inspecting Donovan’s car, Matthew did not head into the hospital, but he instead asked Pete to
immediately drive him to Lakeside Garden. At the same time, he also called Tiger and asked him to send
more people to protect Sasha. On the other hand, he also sent people to protect Julian Davis and Ed
Martinez to prevent them from running into any harm.

After Tiger took care of everything, he quickly rushed to Lakeside Garden. Moments after entering the
door, he reported nervously, “Matthew, something has happened. Donovan is dead!”

Matthew nodded. “I know!”

Tiger glanced at Matthew and whispered, “The situation is not quite the same as you said, though. You
said before that someone would ambush and kill Donovan en-route and frame you for the crime after
you have injured him. However, Donovan did not encounter an ambush on his way back. After he
walked out of the place, his injuries had suddenly worsened when he was halfway home. He died
before he could be sent to the hospital in time!”

Matthew shook his head. “This is not much different from what I said.”

Tiger was bewildered. “H-How is that so? N-Now, the rumors are saying that you killed Donovan.
Donovan is the head of the Lewis Family, so if this charge is really on our heads, then those ten families
will certainly not let us off. This time, I’m afraid even Master Newman himself won’t be able to solve it
easily!”

“I said that Donovan will be killed on his way home and that there will be someone new to take
Donovan’s position in the family.” Matthew looked at Tiger. “It’s just that I misjudged the identity of the
person behind the scenes. I always thought that it would be someone from the Hughes Family, or simply
any one from the top ten families in Eastshire, but I was wrong. It wasn’t one of them at all!”



Upon hearing that, Tiger froze for a moment. “Then… Who is this mastermind?”

Matthew refused to divulge anything. “You better not know about this; it’s not good for you. By the way,
tell me, what is the current situation of the Lewis Family?”



“Donovan’s younger brother, Franklin, has temporarily taken over the position of patriarch in the family,”
Tiger immediately replied. “He personally stepped forward and called for a meeting with the other
families, clamoring for revenge for his brother. Moreover, the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff have also
taken a stand to have you give an explanation for this matter!”

With the slow nod of his head, Matthew hypothesized, “It seems that after Donovan’s death, the one who
will benefit the most is Franklin!”

Tiger hurriedly said, “Do you mean to say that Franklin is the one cooperating with the mastermind? In
that case, the person plotted to kill Donovan through your hand while supporting Franklin to rise to the
top. Moreover, if he controls Franklin, he also controls the Lewis Family, right?”

After hearing the hypothesis put forward by Tiger, Matthew nodded again. Tiger couldn’t help but worry
when he thought of the consequences. “So… What now? Mr. Larson, Donovan died just like that all of a
sudden, and even the man under him whom I bribed doesn’t have any conclusive evidence. In that case,
w-we can’t prove at all that we didn’t kill Donovan. Wouldn’t we be sitting ducks then?”

Previously, Matthew had specifically asked him to take a shot at bribing one of Donovan’s men. He had
guessed that Donovan would definitely meet his end after tonight’s incident. Even if he himself didn’t kill
Donovan, the mastermind would intercept and kill Donovan to frame him.

Matthew intended to bribe one of Donovan’s men because he wanted to use the same method that he
had used to deal with the Hughes Family before dealing with the mastermind. However, now that



Donovan died without any obvious intervention by others, it caused Matthew’s plan to fail. Rather, he
found himself in a precarious situation and Tiger was extremely anxious about it.

Nevertheless, Matthew had a calm expression as he answered softly, “Although I had wrongly guessed
the other party’s identity, everything is still under control. Tiger, you must help me to do two things before
dawn.”
