Chapter 1578

Edmund was somewhat bewildered to hear this, and he couldn't quite understand what Matthew

meant.

"Oh, by the way, Neverland Pharmaceuticals' press conference is today. Is there any way you can get

me in?" Matthew asked.

Nodding, Edmund replied, "A cousin of mine operates a few pharmacies around Granville, and she's

technically on the guest list. I gave her a call, and she told me she could get you in if you just pretend to

be one of her employees, but that's all she can do for now. Helping you get into the press conference is

the limit of my capabilities; I can't do much to help you for the time being."

Matthew gave him a nod of thanks. He knew Edmund was in a tight spot right now, and he was already

stretching the last of his connections just to get him into the press conference. Suddenly, he asked,

"Can this cousin of yours be trusted?"

"Yes," Edmund replied. "She's probably the only person in the world I could trust right now. She's my

aunt's kid on my mom's side, and because her parents died young, my mom raised her. She grew up

with me, and she's more like a sister to me." This was all Matthew needed to know, and he nodded

without asking further questions. The only thing he had his mind on was to get into the press

conference. Nothing else mattered.

Following this, Edmund called his cousin, Isabella, and had her make all the necessary arrangements

to sneak Matthew into the event.

The press conference was slated to start at 7.30PM. Matthew arrived half an hour before the event

started and met with Isabella for the first time.

She was a beautiful young lady in her early twenties, and there was no mistaking that she was a hard

worker. He could tell that being orphaned at a young age had forced her to grow up quickly.

Presently, Isabella handed him a badge that acted as a pass for the event. However, seeing as she

was only a small-time business owner of several pharmacies, she did not have as much standing here

as the other pharmaceutical bigshots did. The badge she had given Matthew only allowed him to attend

the press conference, but there would be no seats for him.

Matthew couldn't care less about these things, and he dismissed her apologies by taking the badge

and thanking her pleasantly.

She looked hesitant for a moment, then leaned forward and said in hushed tones, "Sir, I don't know

what your relationship with Edmund is, but he's in great danger right now. He pissed off Julian from the

Huntington Family, and the other Ten Greatest Families are looking for him to settle the score. Could

you do me a favor and persuade Edmund to leave Stonedale for his own safety?"

Matthew eyed her steadily, and he could see how worried she was for Edmund.

"Sure, I'll talk to him. Don't worry about it," he promised as he smiled and nodded.

Evidently, Isabella thought Matthew was just a small business owner who was here to place orders of

the star product today. Occurrences like these were common in Granville, and this was especially true

after Neverland Pharmaceuticals announced their plans to launch a new medication that could cure

cancer. Anyone who could get their hands on the pills would start rolling in money in no time! New
