Chapter 1623

Matthew immediately waved his hand. "Rowan, save your breath. Don't embarrass the Cosby Family in

front of all these people. Even if you're shameless, the rest of your family aren't!"

Rowan spluttered, "W-What are you talking about? How am I embarrassing the Cosby Family?"

Matthew sneered. "What do you think? After hearing Gregory's words, you immediately decided that I

was a thief who had stolen the formula and even refused to let me speak. What do you mean by that?

What era are we in? Even if you've caught the culprit, you have to let them say something for

themselves at least, right? But, you don't even have evidence, and you only listened to his made-up

nonsense before you refused to let me say anything to refute it. Rowan, did you take Gregory's money,

or are you profiting from him in any way for you to defend him like this? Aren't you embarrassing the

Cosby Family with your unreasonable behavior?"

Rowan's words suddenly caught in his throat, and he

rebuked furiously, "S-Since when did I stop you from speaking? I just think that a thief like you will say

nothing but lies, so there wouldn't be any point!"

Matthew replied, "You'll only know that after I've said my piece. Isn't it too early for you to call me a

liar?"

Completely unable to refute, Rowan could only glare at Matthew furiously. "Fine. Then, speak!

Nobody's going to fall for your lies anyway!"

Matthew curled his lips in disdain, then looked at Gregory and asked loudly, "Dr. Huntington, after all

you've said, I want to ask you something. Do you have any proof?"

Gregory answered coldly, "Wasn't I being clear enough? All the data was destroyed by you, and our

research staff were also killed. How would we have any evidence?"

Matthew smiled and suddenly turned his head to look at the Ten Greatest Families. "Gregory, have you

noticed something? When you were talking about this incident, none of the Ten Greatest Families of

Stonedale defended you. They seem to be at a loss, and even a little flustered.

Could it be that the Ten Greatest Families, who are Neverland Pharmaceuticals' shareholders, didn't

even know about this?"

The moment he finished speaking, the crowd burst into an uproar. As Matthew had stated, after

Gregory brought up the incident, no one from the Ten Greatest Families spoke at all, which was too

strange. Logically speaking, the Ten Greatest Families were all victims of this incident, and they should

be more emotional than the rest of the crowd, but why did they remain quiet? Was Gregory lying about

this incident, and the Ten Greatest Families didn't know about it at all?

Just then, Macon suddenly spoke up. "Among the Ten Greatest Families, there weren't many people

who knew about this. Back then, we didn't want to get too involved, so we didn't dare to continue our

investigation, and we were afraid to let the members of the Ten Greatest Families know. Hence, when

this incident happened, we announced to the public that the research had failed. Besides, the only

people who knew the truth were only the heads of the Ten Greatest Families. The rest were completely

clueless!"
