Leanna's words made Matthew pause for a moment.
It seemed the Cunningham Family's plan was quite thorough this time. They hadn't only targeted his businesses in Montiria with an economic blockade and commercial monopoly but had also extended their reach to his enterprises in Eastcliff.
"Leanna, notify the major families in Eastcliff. Tell them I want to meet, and they should send a representative. Also, let them know they won't leave empty-handed."
"Understood. I'll contact them right away," Leanna replied before hanging up the phone.
A glint of determination flashed in Matthew's eyes. So, they still think they can corner me… He thought, his resolve hardening.
…
Meanwhile, in Eastcliff, Samuel was seated in his traditional, elegant tea room in the attic of Hughes Manor, leisurely sipping his tea. The room, built entirely with ancient wood and brick, had no modern electronics, designed to offer a peaceful, old-world ambiance. Samuel found comfort in such tranquility, especially on rainy days like this.
As the light rain pattered outside, Samuel took another sip of tea, savoring the moment. A favorite poem of his came to mind.
In the cottage, I rest and hear the rain, Dreams wrapped in moss, where time leaves no stain.
Suddenly, his peaceful afternoon was interrupted by his old butler, Bertram Hughes, who rushed in. "Master, you have a phone call."
Samuel frowned, displeased by the disruption. "Bertram, how many times have I told you not to be so hasty?" he said, casting an annoyed glance at the long-serving butler.
"It's Miss Leanna Sandel from the Sandel Family, sir," Bertram replied respectfully.
