Xavier sneered, “For the years Billy Newman has been dominating over Eastcliff, he has prohibited the
Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire from meddling with the business in the city, and the families have long
been annoyed by the stalemate.
This time, let us make the breakthrough before everyone else so that our status in the Ten Greatest
Families can be elevated.
At the same time, you will be the hero that brings about the success, and that will be a ground we can
use to compel the Old Master to appoint you as the master in advance.”
Travis, who was elated to hear that, exclaimed, “Uncle Xavier, that would be great! I’m impressed by how
meticulous you are!”
Travis smirked triumphantly at him and said, “That’s why I’ve always said you’re still too young. Why do
you care so much about Cunningham Pharmaceuticals?
Is it because of Sasha Cunningham, who is hailed as the most beautiful girl in Eastcliff? By the time you
become the master of our family, I can assure you that she will get down on her knees and beg you to
date her, and she will do whatever you want her to do.”
Travis nodded repeatedly and said, “You’re right. Uncle Xavier, you are truly wise!”
Just as the two were hatching up a plan excitedly, a woman stepped into the room suddenly. “Young
Master Hughes, someone at the lobby claimed to be Sasha Cunningham’s parents and they said they
are here to apologize to you.”
Travis frowned in response to that. Prior to this, he would have wanted to humiliate them as badly as he
could to avenge what he had suffered.
However, he knew he had to focus on the serious stuff at the moment after listening to Xavier’s advice.
“Ask them to get lost because I am not in the mood to meet them!” Travis replied.
Just as the woman was about to walk away, Xavier said, “Hold on. Bring them to the room next to ours.”
Looking puzzled, Travis queried, “Uncle Xavier, why do you want them here? Didn’t you just say we
should stay away from trouble at this hour?”
Xavier gestured for the woman to leave before he chuckled and said, “Travis, I’m going to show you the
ropes today! According to The Art of War, knowing ourselves and our enemies well enough is the key to
success.
I’m sure that Larson guy must have something up his sleeves that gives him confidence to participate in
the medical conference. Since Sasha Cunningham’s parents are here, it will do us good by making use
of this chance to gather some information on Larson.
In that case, we won’t be caught off guard if he really has a hidden trump card up his sleeves. If they
really manage to win at the medical conference this time, our family will be doomed!”
Travis pouted his lips and doubted, “What trump card can they possibly have? I’ve asked around about
Matthew before. He’s just a live-in son-in-law who depends on his wife’s family for a living. How talented
can such a guy be?
Someone told me that Timothy Wayne has also invested in him and I reckon they will send Mr. Harrison
and Dr. York to attend the medical conference. Those two guys are quite established in Eastcliff but they
are nothing compared to those real superb doctors! We shouldn’t be worried about them!”
Xavier replied, “That would be the best scenario. However, we still need to get as much information as
we can from them. Let’s get changed before we go and meet them next door.”
Travis nodded. After getting changed, they went to the room next to theirs.
James and his family had long been waiting inside. As soon as they saw Travis, they immediately rose to
their feet and flashed him simpering smiles.
“Young Master Hughes, please pardon us for coming here uninvited. We’re here to apologize to you. In
fact, we’ve long planned to oust Matthew, that hopeless scumbag, from our family, but somehow, he
always manages to stick around.
For your information, everything he did has nothing to do with us and I hope you won’t associate us with
him,” James spoke with reverence.
Looking arrogant, Travis snapped, “Matthew really is a very audacious guy huh! How dare he establish a
medical association himself so that he can compete with us? Do you think he can prevail over our
medical talents?”
James responded immediately, “How’s that possible? Matthew is only a useless guy who didn’t even
graduate from a technical school, so there’s no way he knows anything about medicine!
He has indeed been working at the hospital for three years, but he only works as a toilet cleaner there.
They are only so arrogant because they are pinning their hopes on Mr. Harrison who works for Stanley
Carlson!”
