A displeased look flashed across the faces of the heads of the Ten Greatest Families because everyone here tonight was from their family. By saying that the murderer was among them, wasn’t that as good as saying that a person from the Ten Greatest Families had killed Zachary?

In the meantime, everyone was silently judging others around them, watching their expressions and trying to look for a trace of a tell-tale sign.

Mad with fury, Harvey burst out, “Mr. Larson, you’re still trying to sow discord among us when you’re at the brink of death? Everyone present is a friend of the Jacksons, so how could they have killed my nephew? Don’t try to frame others, I tell you!”

Matthew retorted with a small laugh and said, “There’s no need for me to frame another. I am telling you that I have the evidence! Weren’t you speaking about conclusive evidence earlier? Fine, I’ll show you what a real conclusive evidence looks like!” Pointing a finger at Harvey, he questioned him, “Let me ask you, did you check Zachary’s cellphone and his call records?”

Startled, Harvey stammered, “O-Of course I did!”

“Really?” Matthew sneered. “Since you’ve checked it, then you should know that Zachary made a call after I’ve left. May I ask, how could he have made the call if I’ve already killed him?”

Again, his words created a commotion in the room. Everyone from the Ten Greatest Families were stunned. Was there going to be a turn in the chain of events now?
