His Devious Rule
386 Unbeatable
#Don't skip this chapter.
At the Matthews mansion,
After dinner with Alvin and his family, Liam routed back to the mansion as the visiting time for his mother was over.
'Ring, ring…' Glancing at the screen of his mobile, he ignored Secretary Harrison's calls.
Was his father expecting him to convince Alvin and Anya after whatever his parents did to them?
He was less remorseful knowing Anya and Alvin were able to beat the odds, reconcile and also marry. He was glad Anya and Alvin weren't hating him.
But his feelings towards his parents were turning awful. His father was cold-blooded to try to drive a wedge between him and Alvin.
How could a father do that to his sons?
Aren't parents wish for their sons to be supportive of each other and don't fight?
Worst of everything was his mother's doing. Wasn't Anya living her life? How could Gianna harden Anya's life when she was already struggling with a baby as a single mother? He couldn't believe his mother tried to kidnap Zane.
He loathed himself for having the urge to bring his mother out of the prison despite all that. How could he still have a soft corner for his mother?
Well, she loved him, pampered him, and provided him with everything before he could even ask. How could he forget it even if he was angry?
Nevertheless, how was he going to help his mother out of jail? How could he remove all the accusations against her?
He had tried his best to resolve the things within the family but his mother had crossed all the lines.
Could he save her through the law?
Rob mentioned Alvin's legal team chief from the country S was working on the case. That lawyer was ruthless and shrewd and experienced in criminal cases.
Will his father's top lawyer team from the country be able to fight against Alvin's team?
Anya was a presidential award winner, looking down on her would be stupidity. She alone would be enough to deal with criminals like his father and mother.
With all the complex thoughts, Liam was more and more frustrated. Entering the Matthews mansion, he ignored the butler's greet and proceeded inside.
His shoulders unknowingly relaxed, pushed everything behind his head, looking at his daughter sitting on the feeding chair and giggling and slapping the tray in happiness at the sight of him.
Liam's wife, Lilian noticed him and chuckled helplessly. "Liam, feed your daughter. She isn't listening to me." She said in exhaustion.
When his wife was jetlagged, his daughter was hyperactive. He took a bowl of mashed vegetables and sat in front of his daughter. Scooping a spoonful, he said dramatically "My little princess loves her dad more."
Lilian was speechless seeing their daughter eat so easily. Shaking off her thoughts, Lilian complained to her daughter, "Your dad met your brother. He didn't even take us to see him."
She had received Liam's message saying he was having dinner at Alvin's place, asking her to complete her dinner.
The thought of Zane further softened Liam's expression and brought a smile to his face. He liked Zane who was like a mini adult and so well-behaved. He would love to have him around his baby daughter and watch them grow up.
"Dada will tell you about your brother." He fed another spoon and continued to feed his daughter while he briefed about Zane to Lilian.
The family of three was having a small happy time together, forgetting the troubles in front of their daughter. Unfortunately, it wasn't fated to last long. Suddenly a sharp voice snapped at them, "Do you have the time to feed your daughter? Go and deal with the office work."
The baby was startled at the voice and hiccuped before she started crying, extending her hands at Lilian.
Lilian's smile faded away. She couldn't understand why Casper presumes that men shouldn't tend to their wives or babies. Although they had arranged marriages, she was glad that Liam was a contrast to his father.
Softly nodding at Liam, she carried their daughter and silently went upstairs to their room. She could have easily asked Liam to move out of the Matthews mansion. But she never asked, hoping one day they could live like a big happy family.
She didn't know happiness was a far-fetched dream in the Matthews family.
Liam clenched his teeth and waited for Lillian to go to their bedroom before turning to his father. He wanted to harshly talk back to his father. He was taking care of his baby, what was wrong with that?
The baby belonged to him as much as Lilian. Why wasn't he allowed to spend time with his daughter?
Living a luxurious life, Liam always noticed one thing. The absence of his father was every important turn of his life. There were times he didn't see his father for weeks despite living in the same mansion. If Casper were expecting him to behave the same, Casper would be disappointed.
Since he wasn't of any help to Casper, he was shoved back to the company. Fine, he was ready to do that. He would take his responsibilities.
Nevertheless, Liam stood in front of Casper while passing by and taunted him, "Now that you failed to bring them down, are falling low and planning against his company?" Liam wanted to applaud Casper for it.
He understood why Alvin adamantly left Narnia and made firm footing everywhere but Narnia. His father and mother couldn't sit and watch him succeed. Even if he was silent, they would provoke him and attack him.
Casper gritted his teeth. When he took Liam's advice in the afternoon and looked into the consequences of maligning Anya, he chose to drop his plan. Accepting the fact that Anya was Unbeatable, he was planning against Skylark.
So what?
Handling business is never a smooth ride.
Liam knew he couldn't stop his father this time. So he passed Alvin's message, "If you want your hard-earned company to be successful, retire soon. If you are planning to tamper with any evidence, Anya Owen has secured the original evidence." Then he turned and left nonchalantly.
Liam ignored his father who growled behind him, "How dare you talk to your father like that? Do you want your mother to rot in the prison?"
Honestly, Liam didn't want that to happen. At the same time, he was well aware that Gianna wouldn't learn her lesson if he brings her out.
Cordelia, who hadn't met Casper after the banquet, silently slipped to her room and locked the door. She was already scared and sleepless thinking about what Alvin was planning for her. She wasn't ready to face the wrath of her son.
Casper had noticed his mother. He ignored her and stormed into his study. Retire? He snickered. The Matthews industries weren't any small company to lose so easily. A small problem wouldn't bother the strong foundation of the company.
Thus his worry was Gianna and Cordelia were the problems. Dialing a string of numbers, he leaned back on the chair with a smug smile on his face
[Hello?] There was a mellifluous voice of a female. [Who is speaking?]
"Casper." He proudly uttered his name.
There was a pause in the line before the tense voice of a female sounded, [Why are you calling me?]
Casper propped his legs on the desk and sniggered, "Janet Collins, I will not beat around the bush. Stop your son." His overbearing voice sounded in the room.
He didn't have to utter his threat, Janet knew it right after listening to Casper's name. [W-why are you pulling me into y-your mess? I-I have n-nothing to do with this.]
Casper was aware of that. As much as he loved to keep the Matthews family image clean, Janet wouldn't let her queen of entertainment get tainted. If the news of Alvin and Janet releases, everyone would know she abandoned her elder son and her image will be tarnished.
"Now, it's your problem." Saying it, he ended the call.
…
In the penthouse,
Janet was pacing in the bedroom with a cold sweat on her forehead. She couldn't come up with any way to Alvin. After whatever happened in the Oasis mansion, she had no guts to even face Alvin.
She looked at her mobile. Should she call Alvin?
Should she ask Alvin to stop Casper from publishing about them?
