It was a turbulent night in Eastcliff. With the Head of the White Family dead, the Whites had to choose a new leader. They also lost a lot of power and influence in the process, which turned them into the weakest among the ten greatest families of Eastcliff. Other than that, their wealth was also quickly divided up by others after Owen and Gordon died.

Unsurprisingly, the ten families swept away half of the wealth. Stanley took one fifth of it, while the rest were transferred to Matthew. It was Billy who decided on the division of the assets, so nobody dared utter a word in protest.

By the next morning, Matthew went to Billy’s place after dropping Sasha off at her company. Billy had played a major role in the incident, so he figured he should visit Billy as a show of his gratitude.

When he arrived, Billy had just had breakfast, and was sitting on the balcony with Brittany. She had made great progress in her recovery. Not only did she make a full recovery, but she had regained her beauty too. Her features were even more delicate than Sasha’s. Now, she was only eighteen, so in a few years, she would probably replace Sasha as the most beautiful woman in all of Eastcliff, just like how Sasha replaced Leanna.

As soon as she saw Matthew, she greeted him sweetly before pouring him some tea. After Matthew sat down beside Billy, he took a sip out of his tea. “Mr. Newman, you have my gratitude for what happened.”

Billy put his cup down with a chuckle. “Mr. Larson, I owe you a lot. This isn’t even enough to repay you. Besides, Declan had crossed a line this time. I haven’t been making much of an appearance during the past few years, while Stanley has been doing a great job at managing the business. Seeing that the ten families seemed to have forgotten who is the First King of Eastcliff, this is actually a great opportunity to remind them of that.”
