Matthew collected the files and passed them to Lynn. "Thanks, Lynn. Sorry for asking you to come here so late at night." He smiled.

"It's no trouble at all, Matthew!" she replied.

"It's part of my job. Besides, you treat me like family. So, I... I don't even know how to repay you."

Matthew smiled and assured her, "Since you say we're family, don't overthink it. I'll leave the pharmacy under your care for now. But, once it has gotten up to speed, why don't you spend some time with my mom in Eastcliff?"

Lynn beamed at his words. "Sure! I was thinking about visiting Mrs. Cunningham too. So, rest assured, I'll do everything I can to run the pharmacy well." Matthew nodded in satisfaction and changed the topic. "Lynn, you've grown up now. If you meet someone suitable, maybe you can consider marriage."

Lynn's face flushed up at his advice, but there was sadness in her eyes.

Recently, the young masters of

Easthire had been pursuing her. This was something she had never dreamed of.

Among them, she liked Lucien the best. But she knew her status very well; their status disparity was too large, and she was not a good match for him.

Matthew knew precisely what she thought when he glanced at Lynn's expression.

"Lynn, you don't need to worry about anything. Since you call me your brother, I will treat you like family. In Eastshire, whoever it is you choose, they should feel lucky to be able to be with you. Don't worry. No matter who it is, we will support you."

The crown prince waved his hand and added, "That's right. If anyone bullies you, just let me know. Matthew is like a brother to me. Since he regards you as his sister, then you are also my sibling. Let me know if anyone dares to mess with you!"

Tears brimmed Lynn's eyes at the crown prince's warm words, and she was very touched.

With the support of Matthew and the crown prince, she was not inferior to any of the heiresses from the other noble families.

After a moment, Matthew instructed Lynn, "Invite the masters in."

Lynn nodded obediently and exited the room to do as he had instructed.

Lucien was right at the door when he saw Lynn leaving the private lounge. But, then, he immediately wore a gentle smile. "Do you need help with anything?"

She told him, "Matthew asked me to invite the masters in."

He smiled as he answered, "Oh, sure. It's a small matter. Let me help you. I noticed you've been working the whole night, so you must be tired. You should take a quick break. Just let me know if you need anything." As he spoke, he tenderly tucked in her hair.

The young ladies from the affluent families sitting near them were green with envy.

Lynn's face turned beet red. It was hard to reject a wonderful guy like Lucien.

After the seven masters of the Greatest Families entered the room, Master Wayne excitedly chirped, "Mr. Larson, have you decided?"

Matthew nodded and listed the names of the three families he chose.

Among them was the Thatcher Family.

The masters were not surprised that he selected the Thatcher Family.

Everyone knew he went to the Thatcher Family's banquet before coming here. So, the masters all expected that they would be selected. Nevertheless, there were qualms about the other two suggested families.

After all, the seven masters had their personal intentions.

They all wanted to get people they were close with into the ten Greatest Families. This way, they would have allies among the families.

After they listened to Matthew's decision, someone immediately raised their objections against the two families.

Matthew's face darkened, and he asserted, "I hope everyone understands that this meeting was merely to notify you about the decision. This isn't a discussion. If you feel some families are better suited to be listed, that's fine. Once you quit and free up the spot, they can join the rank."
