Chapter 1484

At seven o'clock in the evening, as soon as Matthew walked into Cameron Hotel, he saw Joel Ramsey

standing in the lobby from a distance, who was accompanied by a group of people led by an old man in

his eighties.

The old man looked energetic, and his hair was combed back meticulously, while the others were all

dressed in formal clothes that looked expensive at a glance. It was clear that this group of people were

not just anyone. They came from a powerful family in Eastshire, also known as the Thatcher Family.

The Thatcher Family was quite influential in Eastshire, and their power could definitely rank in the top

ten of Eastshire. However, they had a grudge with the White Family before, which caused them to be

pushed aside. Hence, they had never been able to enter the ranks of the Ten Greatest Families of

Eastshire.

Now that the White Family had been destroyed and Matthew wanted to complete the ten families, the

Thatcher Family immediately saw a glimmer of hope, and instantly wanted to speak to Matthew about

this matter. However, there were not many people in Eastshire who were actually close with Matthew.

Of course, the other seven families knew him, but during this time, many people were clamoring to

speak to those families, so the Thatcher Family knew that it wouldn't do much if they tried to contact

Matthew through this method.

Hence, they decided on a different route and went to Joel instead. They received some information that

Joel was familiar with Matthew, and the pharmacies and staff accommodation under Matthew's

parents-in-law were all provided by him. Therefore, they went to him and asked for his help in securing

a connection for them.

Although Joel had strong assets, at the end of the day, he was just a mere businessman, and his

influence was not even comparable to Tommy, let alone a powerful figure like the Thatcher Family. If

this were any other day, they would not even spare him a second glance, but now the head of the

Thatcher Family had personally come to him, which greatly boosted his ego.

Joel himself was also very excited, but he knew his place, and that Matthew might not entertain him

even if he personally came forward to invite him out. Hence, he cleverly decided to take a detour. He

spent more than three million on a jade ornament, then made a special trip to Eastcliff and gifted it to

James and Helen, saying that it would give them more luck. Not only that, but he had also brought

Lynn along just for this trip.

When James and Helen saw the jade ornament, they smiled from ear to ear. Moreover, Helen was

especially attached to Lynn, who came from the same hometown as her, so her presence made her

even happier. Joel took this opportunity to explain his situation in hopes of letting James and Helen put

in a good word for him and ask Matthew out for a meal. Naturally, they agreed and immediately called

Matthew to talk to him about this matter.

When Matthew heard about this, he couldn't help chuckling. Joel Ramsey, what a through and through

businessman. However, he did not refuse the invitation. No matter what, his parents-in-law had asked

him for a favor, so he had to follow their wishes. Moreover, the Thatcher Family was indeed one of the

families he had to look into. They had a good amount of influence, and the old master and the head of

the family were fairly decent people, so he did have the intention of letting them join the Ten Greatest

Families. Hence, he agreed to the dinner.

The main members of the Thatcher Family were now standing in the hall and waiting respectfully with

uneasy expressions. The dinner tonight was extremely important for them.

Upon seeing the expressions of everyone next to him, Joel secretly felt pleased, knowing that after this

incident, his status in Eastshire would rise significantly.

As Joel spoke, his eyes were trained on the hotel entrance. Just then, he saw Matthew walking in.
