While Matthew was walking out of the house, he contacted Mr. Harrison and asked him about the location of the Thousand Lakes Manor.

Although he was representing the Eastcliff in this year's conference, Matthew had been keeping a low profile, unprepared to let too many people know about it.

Matthew had rejected Stanley when the latter and the others had planned to send him to the conference illustriously.

Because Matthew had a lot of enemies, he would not want to reveal too much about himself before he had the power to take revenge.

If things hadn't gotten to this point, he wouldn't even have participated in the Six Southern States Medical Conference.

Right after Mr. Harrison picked up the phone, he said, "Mr. Larson, where are you right now? I'll send someone to pick you up."

Shaking his head, Matthew responded, "No thanks, I can just take a taxi. I wouldn't want too many people to know about this."

Sympathetically, Mr. Harrison answered, "I understand, Mr. Larson. But the Thousand Lakes Manor is extremely huge. Taxis can't get into the compound and you'll have to walk over on your feet. Let me send someone to fetch you so you can come straight into the parking lot. It would be easier this way."

After giving some thought, Matthew agreed to the suggestion.

Putting his phone down, Mr. Harrison was beaming. Immediately, he called his granddaughter, Crystal Harrison.

Crystal was 23 years old this year. She graduated from a medical school and was Mr. Harrison's most beloved granddaughter.

After a while, a beautiful young lady in a white dress walked into the office. It was Crystal.

Although Crystal wasn't as pretty as Sasha and Leanna, she was undeniably a beauty.

She had been the campus belle in the medical school, and countless rich and handsome young men had been asking her to go out with them.

However, being born into a wealthy family, she had a heightened ego, especially when her grandfather was very reputable across Eastcliff.

Therefore, for a long time, she hadn't laid her eyes on anyone in the Eastcliff.

"Grandpa, why are you asking for me in such a hurry? My friends are waiting for me down there!" Crystal pouted her lips in disapproval.

Upon hearing that, Mr. Harrison replied, "Can you please do me a favor and fetch a friend of mine from North Garden Street? The states' representatives will be here in a moment, but I still have some work to do before the conference starts. Please get him here for me."

Bewildered, Crystal asked, "What friend? Is he that important?"

With a solemn expression, Mr. Harrison answered, "Exceptionally important! His name is Matthew Larson, and this is his phone number. Take it down. When you guys are back, talk to him and show him around the house."

After listening to her grandfather's explanation, Crystal frowned. It was obvious that Grandpa wanted to match her up with this Matthew guy. Instinctively, she was wary of and disgusted at Matthew. "Grandpa, is this Matthew some big shot that you have to pick him up personally?"

Mr. Harrison said in response, "He's a friend who used to help me in the past. Don't worry so much, just make sure that you treat him well." He left in a hurry after finishing his words.

With an unwilling expression on her face, Crystal went downstairs to inform her friends and was ready to go out.

"Wow! Who is this guy anyway? Even Miss Harrison herself has to pick him up in person!"

"Who in the whole Eastcliff had the nerve to do this?"

"Could it be one of the young masters from the ten greatest families?"

While laughing, a group of rich kids jokingly asked.

Curling up her lips, Crystal grumbled, "This person goes by the surname Larson, not someone from the ten greatest families."

After getting the answer, the group was surprised. Crystal's best friend, Annie Lee, suddenly voiced up, "Larson? Anyone heard anything about Larson?"

Everyone was shaking their heads.

Immediately, Annie laughed in response, "I've also never heard of any big shot that goes with the surname Larson! Forget about the Eastcliff; I don't think there's any Larson across the Eastshire. Crystal, who exactly was your grandfather trying to introduce you to? He is obviously trying to pair you up with him when he asked you to pick the person up! Maybe he's someone from the countryside who had been engaged with you when you guys were babies!"

Right after Annie ended her lines, everyone burst into laughter.
