Chapter 1044 Franklin Falls for the Trap
Matthew threw a look at Felix, hinting at him that he shouldn’t act recklessly lest he gave their cover
away.
Dashing into the room, Franklin saw that there were only two people in the house and he asked in
surprise, “Why are there only two of you here? Where’s Master Crow?”
“Master went out with the others,” Matthew answered, lowering his tone. “What happened?”
Startled, Franklin asked, “What’s up with your voice?”
Matthew replied, “Just a little hoarse, but I’m fine. Just tell me what happened.”
That didn’t strike Franklin as anything odd and he said frantically, “Something is happening at my ce. I
don’t know how, but m-my family were cursed all of a sudden and many of them were poisoned. It’s
complete chaos at home now.”
Previously, Matthew had sneaked into the Lewis Residence and the white powder which he released
was actually poisonous powder. Even though he knew exactly what was happening, he still pretended to
be surprised. “How did this happen? Why is something like this happening at your home? Who would put
a curse on your family?”
“It’s true, I saw it with my own eyes!” Franklin replied fearfully. “Sir, do you think that… they were
poisoned by the 72 voodoo ns which you mentioned before? Why don’t you make a trip back with me
and take a look? This poison is really terrifying, and if treatment is dyed, I don’t know how many in my
household will die! There are many in the household who are my confidants now, and if they die, my
authority would be greatly affected once I be the head of the family. Then, I won’t be able to do
much for you guys, either!”
Upon hearing those words, Felix couldn’t help but tighten his fists secretly. What Franklin is doing is
betraying the family!
ncing over at Felix, Matthew said in a solemn voice, “I don’t think so. I’ve told you before that
Orleanians won’t put a curse on outsiders unless they were their enemies. Did you make yourself an
enemy with other Orleanians?”
Immediately, Franklin shook his head. “That’s impossible! Sir, I’ve not met any other Orleanians besides
the few of you.”

Matthew frowned. “What about our n, then?” After pondering over it, he added, “That’s right, could it
be the poison we gave you previously? I’ve already reminded you that you should do exactly as I said to
those insects. Did you follow my instructions?”
Stunned, Franklin answered in a daze, “I-I did exactly as you instructed! After bringing back the insects, I
never opened the lid. After that, I left the bottle in Donovan’s car and told his driver, Ollie Simpson, to
open the lid. ording to what you said before, this insect sucks blood. Once Donovan went upstairs,
Matthew would definitely injure him based on his personality, and after he returned, the insect would
definitely attack him first. I did all this ording to our n. It can’t be wrong!”
Felix was beginning to tremble, and he finally understood that this was what Matthew meant when he
said he was going to prove it to him. There can be no mistake now that Franklin has admitted everything
himself.
Secretly, Matthew smirked as he thought, Franklin is really cooperative! Without even flinching, he asked,
“Are you sure? Can this Ollie be trusted?”
Bobbing his head, Franklin assured, “Yes! This b*stard owes more than ten million in gambling debts and
his debtors have kidnapped his wife and children. He can’t pay his debts at all, and not only that, he even
embezzled more than seven million from the Lewis’ public funds. If anyone in the family finds out, he will
be dead meat for sure! I paid his debts for him and settled the mess he caused in thepany, so he
definitely wouldn’t betray me!”
Once again, Felix clutched his fists tightly. It was beyond his imagination that a mere driver in his
household could do something like this. With this, he was more determined than ever to be the head of
the family. It’s time to restructure the Lewis Family!
