Chapter 349 Exploitation

There was a time when Alvin minded how people would treat him if they got to know he was an illegitimate son of Casper and living in the same house with his step-mom.

The school where he studied was a place where other schoolmates made fun of people due to any possible reason. He didn't want to be called a bastard even in school.

However, when he joined the college, it didn't matter to him if people got to know about his mother. He got that self-confidence from Ean who wasn't shocked by the news or reacted the way Alvin had expected from others.

'I knew it. I knew she couldn't be your mother,' was what Ean had said. Ean hadn't asked who his mother was or what had happened. As days passed, Ean discerned that Janet was his mother.

Thus Casper had no idea Alvin never spoke about Janet because she had broken his heart into millions of pieces. It wasn't because he wanted to save Janet's career or reputation. He also didn't care about the prestigious Matthew family.

'A misunderstanding?' Captain Joseph was confused for a moment and went through the evidence by himself. There was no mistake. Everything was as clear as a blue summer sky.

"Of… Mrs. Matthews, everything is crystal clear. Gianna Sallow used her maid's mobile to contact her subordinate's husband. He is behind all these. The maid has confessed her mobile is with Gianna, and the man has recorded all the calls to exploit money from Gianna Sallow."

Anya walked towards the frozen couple. She had thought Gianna would show her true self and start scolding and hurling curse words at her.

Seeing Gianna silent, Anya wondered how many more words she might need to lose her temper. If Gianna loses her temper, Casper will lose control in a snap.

"Misunderstanding?" Anya uttered, slowly going around them, "Chairman Matthews, did you forget who I was?" Her voice was like cold water being poured over the couple.

Was Casper still thinking to manipulate people on his accord?

If she behaves like this over baseless proof, she will be detained for slandering a university dean. Gianna wasn't just anybody. They could sue her for many days of imprisonment, public apology, and a few million of penalty.

That wasn't important anyway. Won't she know what is baseless and what is evident?

Why would she wait till the evening, controlling her urge to go and snap the beautiful neck of Gianna?

If one woman had tried to kill her dear husband, another one reached her darling son. Was the Matthews family taking her as a helpless lady who will just sit and watch?

Anya looked at Casper. She had thought she had warned him to keep rein over his wife. It wasn't Casper's mistake that Gianna was shrewd.

"Instead of asking how your grandson is doing, why are you stressing over that it's a misunderstanding?"

The crowd who were also busy thinking of Gianna realized they didn't ask once how the kid was doing. Leave them, how could Cordelia, Casper, and even Gianna not get anxious over the news?

Gianna lowered her head while the gazes of people made her uncomfortable as their murmur filled the room.

Casper was too late to have the realization, they should have just walked out with the cops and stated to the media that it was a misunderstanding. He was creating more chances to get humiliated in front of everyone.

Anya's gaze shifted to Gianna who was bleached. Right, any lie could slap them back on their face, right there, in front of all.

Anya asked in a low voice, "Gianna Sallow, do you know why I chose the party time?" She smirked. "I suggest you look around."

Anya had planned to take Gianna's job, and destroy her connections slowly. Nonetheless, Gianna invited her destruction by aiming at her son who was innocent.

Gianna didn't dare to turn and looked at Anya, playing submissive. Any aggressive move could destroy all the possibilities of getting out of this situation.

Anya answered her question, "All the board directors, your supporters could see the real you." None of them would dare to support Gianna or cause trouble for Anya when she manages to step in.

Gianna's eyes widened. Those people were her real network. She was working with them for more than two decades. How could she lose everything in one strike?

She clenched her teeth and repeated, "Anya, there must be a misunderstanding." She wanted to scream at others that Anya was trapping her.

Well, Anya was trapping her. Even if she wasn't going to become the dean, it was important to destroy Gianna's pride.

Casper was late to stop his wife. The more they speak, Anya will keep breaking the bombs.

"She is lying. That woman is vicious." A sharp voice sounded at the entrance hall.

The cops just wanted to do their duty. They couldn't help, turning to take a look.

Anya also turned around and saw it was the woman from the suite before. The actress who her son commended for her skills - Kylie.

Alvin wrapped his arm around his wife to cool her down. She doesn't have to waste her emotions or even her breath on the Matthews family. There were people to do it.

Kylie went forward bravely. She pointed at Gianna and accused her while looking at the cops, "That woman encouraged us to go to Alvin Matthews's suite saying his wife wasn't there. If she could think of ruining her son's life, why would she like Alvin Matthews's son?"

The crowd was beyond shocked listening to it while some were entertained. Well, a rich socialites family does make mistakes like other families. Since they get more limelight, they often end up fabricating the news to maintain their image. And when it leaks, even if it is a small incident, it blows up, earning judgemental gazes and opinions.

However, the Matthews family had maintained their clean image to the state, many had admired them and many were suspicious of them.

Thus the revelation of a mother trying to ruin her son's family only meant she doesn't like her daughter-in-law. From the looks of it, Anya wasn't any wanton but loved by Alvin.

And why would any man love an improper woman?

Anya glanced at Mark and turned to Alvin. She couldn't believe he managed to get an artist to speak when it was important for her to maintain her image.

Before she could continue to admire her husband, Alvin held her chin and turned her head to look at the door. Anya's lips gaped looking at the person in bewilderment.
