Chapter 263
Matthew left after walking Sasha upstairs to her room.
It was not appropriate of him to stay and keep Sashapany. After all, it was her workce.
On top of that, he had a more pressing matter to attend to.
After leaving Cunningham Pharmaceuticals, he had a feeling that he was being followed by a car.
He pretended not to notice by leisurely making circles around the city with his electric motor.
Atst, he arrived at a secluded construction site on the outskirts of the city.
All of a sudden, a thundering sound of a car engine came from behind as it elerated toward him.
As the pathway was not much wider than the width of a car, there wasn’t enough space for Matthew to
avoid said car which was charging in his direction.
The car crashed squarely into his motor, which sent him flying. He fell to the ground and lost
consciousness.
Several men came out from the car. The group was led by none other than Samuel Hughes.
With a sinister expression, he waved at the rest of the group who immediately carried Matthew into the
car.
Just shortly after they sped away, another car came to take care of Matthew’s motor.
With Matthew in his car, Samuel and his men took a route which avoided all CCTV cameras, and finally
reached a secluded spot in the suburbs.
Matthew, who had been tied up tightly, was woken by Samuel pouring a cold bucket of water on him.
“Larson, here we are again! Are you surprised to see me?” Samuel said with a sly smile.
Matthew glimpsed at the men around him and said lightly, “Samuel, you really managed to leave the
Jackson Residence? Seems like the Jacksons are more timid than I imagined. I can’t believe they
actually let you go although you murdered one of theirs.”
Looking ominous, Samuel snapped, “Larson, stop sounding so sarcastic. Do you have any idea the
price I had to pay? All the business in Eastcliff owned by the Pharmaceutical Union will be given to the
Jacksons in the future! That was the price I paid in order to stay alive! This is all your doing! How do
you think I will kill you?”

Matthew chuckled. “Samuel Hughes, you think too highly of yourself, and you’ve underestimated me.
Do you really think Zachary Jackson’s death came as a surprise to me?”
Looking skeptical, Samuel asked, “W-What do you mean?”
“Zachary Jackson’s death was all nned by me! To be honest, I really wanted to kill him. However, if I
were to kill him myself, it would just bring about endless trouble for me. But things would be different if
you were the one who murdered him! I was d that you really went along with my n by killing
Zachary Jackson. You see, I managed to finish both you and Zachary off at the same time!”
Samuel went livid with rage.
At that time, he thought he had sessfully framed Matthew by murdering Zachary and pushing the
me on Matthew. With that, he would be able to sit on the sidelines and watch them dispute over
Zachary’s death.
Little did he know, he was the one who had fallen into Matthew’s trap and was sabotaged by him.
“Matthew, y-you are despicable!” Samuel was so furious that his entire body was trembling.
By falling for Matthew’s trap, not only did he fail to seize Cunningham Pharmaceuticals, he also had to
pay a huge price to exchange for his life, not to mention being punished by his familyter on.
Matthew shrugged and rified, “I didn’t ask you to kill him; you did it out of your own free will. You
willingly took the bait and fell into my trap. If you didn’t have the intention to sabotage me, you wouldn’t
have to suffer so badly.”
Samuel, who was gritting his teeth in rage, suddenly roared withughter. “You’re right! I was the one
who willingly took the bait! But, no matter how shrewd and cunning you are, you’re still my captive! You
must pay the same price as what I have paid! Don’t go worrying about things after your death because
I’ll take over the responsibility of caring for your wife and Leanna Sandel…”
