Chapter 1370
Lucy was totally stupefied, but Matthew had dragged her into the room.
Not only that, but he even led her to the seat of honor and let her sit next to him this time.
At the sight of the scene, the heads of the nine families greeted Lucy one after another.
Lucy was worried as she sat at the table, at a loss for what to do.
How are we supposed to deal with it when President Abbott arrives later on? Leaning over to Matthew, she
whispered, "S-Stop it, Matthew.
Our boss has strong backing: he has many large projects all over the country and owns billions worth of assets.
Not only that, but he's very powerful, with connections both in the government and in the underworld.
Y-You'll suffer a great deal if you fight him head-on like this."

Matthew merely smiled without saying a word.
Reclining in his chair, the crown prince chimed in with a curl of his lips, "He's powerful and has connections both
in the government and in the underworld, huh? Hmph! Let him showwhat sort of connections he has, then!
Hey, listen up, you guys! Whoever comes in later on other than the waiters has to f*cking speak toon their
knees! Got it?"
The few bodyguards at the door immediately replied with a nod, "Yes, Prince!"
Lucy looked very anxious; she was really worried that things would get messy.
However, before she could say anything, the door to the room was pushed open, and Alyssa strutted inside with
Calvin and the others.
As soon as they entered, Alyssa pointed at Matthew, saying, "President Abbott, that's the *sshole.He... Huh?
Lucy, why are you here?"
Calvin initially wanted to see who the people in the room were, but he got angry when he found Lucy sitting here
next to Matthew at this moment. She doesn't seem like she's been tricked.
Obviously, she's hooked up with this guy! He pointed at Lucy and swore, "You wh*re! | thought you were really
tricked. Little did | expect that you'd chere by yourself! What a shameless couple! What else do you have to
f*cking say this time?"
Alyssa also cover right away and said furiously, "What are you doing, Lucy? Hurry up and cover! Did
this son of a b*tch force you to be with him? Just tellif there's anything. Don't worry; I'll definitely help you
out!"
Lucy's face turned crimson.
Pushing Alyssa's hand away, she gritted her teeth and replied, "President Abbott, w-what happened this thas
nothing to do with Matthew. However you want to deal withis my own business.C-Could you please not
involve others in this?"
Calvin darted a disdainful glance at her.
"You have no right to bargain with me! Go back now! I'll sort you out later on!"
Lucy's face turned red as tears welled up in her eyes. She knew she had no say at all in front of these big shots.
A bodyguard standing next to Calvin yelled angrily, "Didn't you hear our boss telling you to go back?"
Lucy gritted her teeth, but just as she was about to stand up, Matthew stretched out his hand and stopped her.

presence!" Lucy's eyes reddened, and her tears gushed forth right away.
Calvin flew into a rage.
"F*ck you, you son of a b*tch! What did you say? I'm giving you a chance to repeat what you just said!"
Matthew knitted his brows.
He said coldly, "Watch your language, President Abbott. Don't get into unnecessary trouble because of just a few
words!"
Aman standing beside Calvin swore right away, "Shut up! What the f*ck do you think you are to tell President
Abbott to watch his language? Why don't you look at yourself in the mirror and see whether you're f*cking
qualified to talk to him? You're nothing but a piece of trash! Unnecessary trouble, huh? I'm standing right here.
Showwhat kind of trouble we can get into!"
Those around him instantly roared with laughter while looking at Matthew with disdain.
Matthew darted a look at them.
"You want to know what kind of trouble you can get into? Alright, I'll grant your wish!"
As soon as he said that, a few men suddenly burst into the room and forced Calvin and his men to the ground in
no tat all.
