Chapter 999 A Trap and a Chance
Even after Matthew’s detailed exnation, Tiger was still lost. “What does that mean?”
Matthew gave him a look. Tiger can do his job well, but he’s utterly hopeless when brainwork is involved.
“Think! After what happened tonight, will I seek revenge on Dickson? Also, ording to the way I usually
do things, now that Dickson had dared toy a hand on my wife, I would want him dead. Dickson is
Donovan’s illegitimate son, so if I do anything to him, Donovan will definitelye knocking on my door.
So, the mastermind would have killed Donovan without getting their hands dirty because I would be the
one who killed him.”
A light bulb went off in Tiger’s head. “I see now! So, Matthew, this mastermind is the Lewis Family’s
enemy, then… The Lewis Family is on the same boat as us?”
Matthew shook his head. “The Lewis Family is also our enemy. Don’t forget, every renovation material in
Eastcliff is under the Lewis Family. We couldn’t buy any materials, so that is definitely the Lewis Family’s
doing.”
Once again, Tiger was lost. “I don’t get it, Matthew. If the mastermind wanted Donovan dead, then why is
the Lewis Family after us?”
Matthew smiled and replied, “Because the one working with the mastermind isn’t Donovan, but another
person in the Lewis Family. Someone in the Lewis Family wants to take Donovan’s ce in order to be
the new head of the family.”
Tiger was stunned for a while, then he said, “Matthew, you mean… There’s a traitor in the Lewis Family?
And they want to seize the throne?”
Calmly, Matthew nodded. “That’s correct.”
Tiger scratched his head. “Matthew, could it be that this traitor had caused all this to happen? And there’s
no mastermind? The traitor wanted the throne, so they blocked our ess to renovation materials on
purpose. They even caused this incident with Dickson and are trying to get at Donovan by your hand.”
Matthew shook his head. “That’s impossible. I read up on the Lewis Family before, and Donovan’s
position is still quite stable in the family. This traitor cannot deal with Donovan on their own! So, this
traitor must have someone supporting them from the shadows!”
As anticipated, Tiger was puzzled. “Matthew, I don’t understand. If there’s a mastermind behind the
scenes, then they could just let Donovan deal with us. Why would they support a new head of the
family?”

Matthew smiled as he exined, “Perhaps Donovan wasn’t too cooperative, or he’s too ambitious. All in
all, the mastermind found Donovan difficult to control, so they wanted to switch him out for someone
more gullible. They wanted to get rid of Donovan by my hand so that they could kill two birds with one
stone. The traitor would ascend the throne as the head of the Lewis Family, and the Lewis Family would
have a reason to hate me ande at me. Not only that, if I killed Donovan, the Ten Greatest Families
would all turn on me at once. When that happens, I would be faced with a forcerger than just the Lewis
Family!”
Tiger drew in a sharp breath. “You’re kidding, right? Who could that be? Who would do things in such a
sinister way?”
Matthew shook his head, for he himself couldn’t pinpoint the identity of the mastermind. However, he had
already singled out the greatest suspect: the Hughes Family in Eastshire.
“Clean up the scene, and I’ll pay Dickson a visit!” Matthew ordered.
His orders obviously stunned Tiger. “Matthew, why would you see Dickson after all that? You yourself
said that it’s a trap. If you went to see Dickson, then…you willnd right in the trap!”
Matthew gave a lightugh. “Since I already know what their trap is, I have nothing to worry about. Also,
this may look like a trap now, but it may also be a chance for us! If we do it right, then the Lewis Family
will fallpletely under my control!”
