Chapter 1184

News of Matthew’s Death

As this was going on, the few people hidden outside of The Grand Garden quietly observed the fight
inside the villa. They didn’t dare to enter the premises, but they could guess how the battle was from
listening to the sounds inside the villa.

The battle lasted about ten minutes. At last, Phoenix grabbed Matthew by the ankle and dragged him
outside. Matthew had fallen to the ground, completely bloodied. From the looks of it, he was on the brink
of death.

A car came by. Phoenix tossed Matthew into the car. He then lit another cigarette, taking a few drags
before he got into the car as well.

The few people watching this were more delighted than disappointed. They promptly ran to the masked
man and reported the situation to him. The masked man was ecstatic when he heard the news and
immediately got in touch with Lord Voodoo to inform him.

At last, Lord Voodoo nodded in satisfaction. “Smooth operation. However, you still have to be on your
guard. Tonight, the Golden Cocoon Charm will be born. This is a most crucial period for me. As long as I
have the Golden Cocoon Charm in my hands, I will be able to surpass any of the six kings. Watch
yourselves carefully. Do not let anyone ruin my grand plans!”

The masked man nodded. “Yes, Lord Voodoo! By the way, what should we do about that crown prince?”

Lord Voodoo was quiet for a moment. “Once tonight’s events have come to pass, release him. Matthew
is dead. There’s no need for us to goad Phoenix. If we incur the King of the South’s ire, then we will be in
a world of trouble!”

The masked man immediately nodded. He didn’t really want to make an enemy out of Phoenix either.



News of Matthew’s death spread through Eastcliff at seven that night.



Upon hearing this news, those who worked for Matthew went into an uproar. Everyone was stunned. No
one had imagined that he would die for no good reason.

Wilson and the others were shocked. With Matthew dead, didn’t that mean they were sitting ducks now?

Meanwhile, Tiger broke down on the spot. Tears immediately fell from Leanna’s eyes when she found out
about Matthew’s death.

There were, of course, people who were more happy than upset by this news, such as that one faction in
the Cunningham Family. Felicia was especially overjoyed by Matthew’s death. She brought the
Cunninghams over to Cunningham Pharmaceuticals, ordering Sasha to hand over the company to her.

At the same time, Minerva also popped up to stir up trouble. The few other sons of elite families that
Matthew had put through the wringer also stepped up to mock him, even going as far as to say that they
would take down Sasha.

Other than the Lachs, the Lewises, the Jacksons, and the Telks, the other six families banded together to
take Matthew’s construction company for their own. These six families chose to strike while Sasha was
at her weakest, fanning the already existing flames.

Felicia immediately contacted some old friends of hers to surround Cunningham Pharmaceuticals,
kicking up a huge ruckus. All manufacturing activities at Cunningham Pharmaceuticals stopped.
Everyone was watching to see how the company would fare later.

Upon hearing this news, Sasha cried until she passed out. James and Helen holed themselves deep
inside Lakeside Garden; they didn’t dare to set foot outside. It was only now they realized that Matthew



was the sole person holding up the Cunningham Family. Without him, the Cunninghams were nothing!

Meanwhile, at the Harrison household, Joseph sighed in his seat. Crystal’s eyes were swollen from all
her crying.

In short, Eastcliff was in chaos once word of Matthew’s death had spread.

At nine, two hours later after the news first broke out, Charmine kneeled before Lord Voodoo in his
residence with a disgruntled expression.

“Lord Voodoo, Matthew is already dead. Why do you still wish to root out his family?” Charmine asked in
a low tone. Matthew had saved her once, so she was also shocked out of her mind when she heard that
he was killed.

Lord Voodoo glanced at her. “You ask too many questions,” he stated coldly. “There are some things that
you do not need to know!”
