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?"
Matthew replied, "Just a little hoarse, but I'm fine. Just tellwhat happened."
That didn't strike Franklin as anything odd and he said frantically, "Something is happening at my place. | 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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthnow."
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, | saw it with my own eyes!" Franklin replied fearfully. "Sir, do you think that... they were poisoned by
the 72 voodoo clans which you mentioned before? Why don't you make a trip back withand take a look? This
poison is really terrifying, and if treatment is delayed, | 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
| becthe head of the family. Then, | 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!
Glancing 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 plan, 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 | 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, | never
opened the lid. After that, | left the bottle in Donovan's car and told his driver, Ollie Simpson, to open the lid.
According 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. |
did all this according to our plan. 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! | paid his debts for him and settled the mess he caused in the company, 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!
