Edmund was somewhat bewildered to hear this, and he couldn't quite understand what Matthew meant.
"Oh, by the way, Neverland Pharmaceuticals’ press conference is today. Is there any way you can getin?"
Matthew asked.
Nodding, Edmund replied, "A cousin of mine operates a few pharmacies around Granville, and she's technically
on the guest list. | gave her a call, and she toldshe could get you in if you just pretend to be one of her
employees, but that's all she can do for now. Helping you get into the press conference is the limit of my
capabilities; | can't do much to help you for the tbeing."
Matthew gave him a nod of thanks. He knew Edmund was in a tight spot right now, and he was already
stretching the last of his connections just to get him into the press conference. Suddenly, he asked, "Can this
cousin of yours be trusted?"

"Yes," Edmund replied. "She's probably the only person in the world I could trust right now. She's my aunt's kid
on my mom's side, and because her parents died young, my mom raised her. She grew up with me, and she's
more like a sister to me." This was all Matthew needed to know, and he nodded without asking further questions.
The only thing he had his mind on was to get into the press conference. Nothing else mattered.
Following this, Edmund called his cousin, Isabella, and had her make all the necessary arrangements to sneak
Matthew into the event.
The press conference was slated to start at 7.30PM. Matthew arrived half an hour before the event started and
met with Isabella for the first time.
She was a beautiful young lady in her early twenties, and there was no mistaking that she was a hard worker. He
could tell that being orphaned at a young age had forced her to grow up quickly.
Presently, Isabella handed him a badge that acted as a pass for the event. However, seeing as she was only a
small-tbusiness owner of several pharmacies, she did not have as much standing here as the other
pharmaceutical bigshots did. The badge she had given Matthew only allowed him to attend the press
conference, but there would be no seats for him.
Matthew couldn't care less about these things, and he dismissed her apologies by taking the badge and thanking
her pleasantly.
She looked hesitant for a moment, then leaned forward and said in hushed tones, "Sir, | don't know what your
relationship with Edmund is, but he's in great danger right now. He pissed off Julian from the Huntington Family,
and the other Ten Greatest Families are looking for him to settle the score. Could you doa favor and
persuade Edmund to leave Stonedale for his own safety?"
Matthew eyed her steadily, and he could see how worried she was for Edmund.
"Sure, I'll talk to him. Don't worry about it," he promised as he smiled and nodded.

She heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this, then added quietly, "Oh, | should tell you that the Ten Greatest
Families will be attending the press conference tonight as well, and there'll be other moguls of the
pharmaceutical industry present. Once you're in, make sure to avoid getting into trouble with anyone. Edmund's
in no position to help you out if you were to accidentally offend anyone important, and everything will just blow
up into a big old mess. If you're looking to buy the medicine in bulk, | could place the orders for you, or | could
even give you a part of my share too. Just... don't go and fight the others for it."
Evidently, Isabella thought Matthew was just a small business owner who was here to place orders of the star
product today. Occurrences like these were common in Granville, and this was especially true after Neverland
Pharmaceuticals announced their plans to launch a new medication that could cure cancer. Anyone who could
get their hands on the pills would start rolling in money in no time!
As such, plenty of distributors and sales representatives clamored to gain entry to this press conference in hopes
of placing orders for the Restoration Pill. As for the moguls, they could always pull sstrings to get their
hands on the first batch of the medication.
Isabella presumed that Matthew did not have any connections, which was why he had turned to Edmund for help
despite the latter's unfortunate circumstances. As such, she was worried that he might stir up trouble at a
prestigious event like this one.
