Chapter 285 Abnormal

Anya and Zane were excited. Krystle was happy for her friend. The day was supposed to be a lively, festive day for them until Rob appeared at the dining hall.

Looking at Rob's expression, Alvin was considering going aside but Rob hinted it also needs Anya's attention. "Go ahead."

Rob reported, "Boss, Secretary Harrison has contacted me, inviting Ms. Owen, the little master, and you to the Matthews mansion to discuss your… request." Even he felt his lips twitch stating 'request.'

"Request!?" Krystle mused, "Alvin Matthews, when did you learn that?" She rolled her eyes accurately knowing the Matthews family was trying to keep their pride by calling labeling Alvin's autocracy a request.

When the little master on the chair looked at Alvin in disbelief. 'Request?' His father and he had infuriated Casper. 'Shameless.' He clicked his tongue, right at the time Alvin did.

Anya and Krystle: "..."

Linus was focused on a different matter, "Bro, why did you meet those Matthews?"

Even Zane didn't know as Casper and Alvin didn't speak about the motive directly, yet understood each other. He had his breakfast with his ears on the adults.

Anya responded to Linus, "I want to join Imperial University."

Linus nodded in understanding while Krystle frowned faintly. She didn't feel like it was as simple as joining the university.

Anya turned down as they were too busy to spend any time with the Matthews family, "No appointments for today."

Alvin's lips curled to a lopsided smirk hearing the bossy lady. Who would believe she was the same woman who was bantering with him without accepting she loves him?

Krystle grinned ear to ear, "Yo, my girl has learned the high society language." She was proud of her friend.

'My girl!?' Alvin narrowed his eyes at Krystle for calling his Little Donut hers.

Rob accepted the instruction and dropped the important matter, "Elder Madam Matthews has returned to the Matthews mansion." So the cunning woman would be up to no good.

Anya had heard only a little about the old lady from Alvin and those few words said the terrible personality of the old lady. She looked at Alvin whose expression barely changed as he glanced at her and Zane. "Alright." He said.

Anya was about to open her lips, Ean rushed in with loud footsteps. He paused looking at everyone's eyes but his eyes stayed on Krystle. He wasn't ready to take any chance of that woman breaking his face.

Well, Krystle was cool because Anya, her bestie, had kept her updated.

When Krystle just looked at him, he approached Alvin as he reported the latest business news, "Err… We can't acquire the Hales and Daltons. Casper Matthews ran them to bankruptcy."

Anya had planned to ruin them. Because of Ean's plan to acquire it under Alvin's company, she had given up. Hearing Casper's action, her eyes went to her baby son who sweetly smiled at her.

After knowing about Zane's identity, Casper would destroy every last person who dares to hurt Zane. She couldn't believe how important it was for the Matthews family to have an heir.

However, she couldn't let them have control over her son. She carried Zane on her lap and hugged him. "They want my baby." It came more like a complaint to her boyfriend, instead of voicing her deduction.

Zane misunderstood Casper wanted him, hence Alvin visited Casper to warn him. He wrapped his arms around his mother, "I want only Momma."

Ean controlled himself from peeking at Zane. The man he expected to die single had a son of five years old. It was hard to believe.

Alvin didn't care about the companies as it never was his plan. He peeled the little man away from his woman, "I will drop him." He told Anya.

"My baby… My baby… My baby…" Anya pouted looking at Alvin holding Zane like a baby whose diaper needs to be changed.

"Chipmunk Monster, let me down, or else I won't allow you to my new home… Chipmunk Monster… I will lock you out of my new home…." Annoyed, Zane continued to threaten his father.

The rest of the adults watched them leave, heard Zane's threats, and Alvin snickers, before bursting into laughter. They were glad Alvin was giving attention to Zane, unlike Casper who never cared about his sons until he needed them.

But wasn't Alvin a bit too weird as a father? Anyway, they got on with their work.

Zane glared at his father. He was determined to prove his threat one day. Else the Chipmunk Monster wouldn't take him seriously.

He declared, "I want to be with Mommy." He meant to say he didn't want to go to the Matthews family.

Alvin glanced at the little grumpy master. He didn't want to go? He will burn the Matthews family if they dared to take his Little Donut's son away from her.

However, to fulfill his Goofball's wish, they need to visit the Matthews mansion as a happy family of three. For that, he needs to prepare his little enemy.

"We will be going to the Matthews mansion." He started.

Zane discerned 'We' meant Anya, Alvin, and him, so he gave his attention to his father.

"You will meet a doting, generous, sweet, looking old viper." It was the description of Cordelia to lure Zane.

Zane: "..."

Rob's lips twitched uncontrollably. Was that how one teaches kids?

'Boss, don't ruin the innocent little master.'

At the stake of his life, Rob tried to use bland words instead of viper, "Little Master, Boss mean to say, old wicked lady."

Zane nodded to himself, understanding that viper isn't just a snake, it also means wicked. He turned to his father to know what he will have to do when he met the 'viper.'

'Wicked lady?' It was such an understatement. Alvin stopped himself from using another improper word. And came to the point, "You can play with her, let her pamper you, let her bestow you with everything. But... At the end of the day…"

Zane shrugged as he cut in, "I will run back to mommy." Actually, he didn't want anything from anybody.

Rob couldn't help but look at his smart little boss through the rear view mirror.

Alvin had thought he would have to dig into his dictionary to explain everything to his little enemy. It felt good to have a smart partner in crime.

Zane asked in confusion. If viper is bad lady, acting like a good, what if they hurt him? Anya would be sad, right? "What if they harm me?"

Harm? If anybody would think of harming him, it could be Gianna. However, Cordelia and Casper wouldn't let that happen. And if he warns them, they will be careful. "You will be safe."

Zane nodded, completely trusting Alvin.

Alvin shifted to the next person, "You might come across a livid, hateful, wild… evil woman. Confidently ignore her."

Rob couldn't believe he was listening to all these things said by Alvin. Well, he approved Alvin's plan for Zane.

Zane: "..."

One wicked lady acts as sweet. One evil woman hates him openly. 'Strange,' He asked directly, "Is there no one normal in the Matthews family?"

'Pfft.' Rob broke into laughter before controlling. His little boss is truly endearing.

Alvin admired his little enemy for comprehending everything so quickly. He patted his head, "You are smarter than your mommy."

How could that make Zane happy?

He smirked at his father as he crossed his hands. He smugly countered, "It's a pity that you can't beat my mommy's intelligence."

Alvin: "..."

Didn't that make him the dumbest among them and Zane as the smartest?

'Narcissist son of a narcissist father.' Rob thought, holding back his laughter.

Alvin spanked the little buttock of his enemy so that Zane couldn't complain that to his mother. Then he continued with other members of the Matthews family Zane might face.

Getting out of the car, Alvin asked at the end, "Could you remember everything?" He was a kid so he wouldn't expect much.

Zane wore his bag, took his lunch bag, and craned his neck to look at his father. "Chipmunk Monster, I have better memory power than you." He ran away before another spank could land on his little bums. 'Shameless man!'

Alvin was tongue-tied. Because he knew Zane said about his unawareness of Zane's existence.

He dialed his Little Donut and complained, "Your sly son holds grudges."

[Certain someone couldn't handle his mini version.]

'Am I sly?' That's an understatement.

—–––––––

Meanwhile at the Matthews mansion,

The exact words of Anya went from Rob to Harrison to the ears of the three.

"How audacious." Cordelia slapped the fork on the table. She had thought Anya was eager to become dean and they would come running to the mansion at her mercy.

'No appointment today?' Cordelia scoffed. She wasn't dying to make a small town girl as a dean of the university. But it indeed hurt her ego. "Find out what they are busy with." She ordered the secretary to feed her ego in case they were truly busy.

"Err.." Harrison turned to Casper. It would be stupidity to follow any of them. Provoking Alvin was the least they could do.

If a small taste of Anya and Alvin's action could infuriate Cordelia, it was time to say good bye to peace. He spoke for his secretary, "Mom, it's not a good idea." He had lots on his plate other than inviting more trouble.

Cordelia was irritated. Wasn't Alvin nothing till a few years ago? Being careful of him irked Cordelia. She hissed with another order, "Find out what Zane likes?" She needs to prepare for luring him.

Then she turned to Casper and demanded furiously, venting the anger of Alvin and Anya on her son, "I want his name changed to Matthew."

Looking into Zane's details? If Anya gets to know, she will roast them alive.

Name change? They will need Anya's permission.

Casper and Harrison glanced at domineering Cordelia and fell silent. They were reducing people to cold sweat. Here Cordelia was stressing them out.

Between their plans and thoughts, they didn't notice Gianna was awfully silent.
