Chapter 353 Another Man

In the limousine,

After avoiding the media, Casper sat in the car and clenched his fist. Gianna went down and he could focus on resolving it. He couldn't believe Cordelia involved herself in another crime.

Cordelia, who had no idea that her son got to know about her acts, spoke carefully, "Casper, I am sure Gianna wouldn't have hurt Zane but threaten Alvin and Anya. Whatever it might be, she is going to be the matriarch of the Matthews family, we need to bring Gianna out and clear her name."

Casper tried to ignore his mother with his blood boiling in his nerves to shut her mouth. Gianna wouldn't have killed Zane but Cordelia did plan to kill Alvin. Thus it was ludicrous hearing her speak of Cordelia's crime when she was the bigger criminal.

A perfect crime is more difficult than doing business or inventing innovative things. You will learn from failure and make better decisions in business or research. However, a small mistake in a crime was enough to ruin everything.

What was his mother thinking when she was planning to kill Alvin?

Nobody would find her out?

Or get custody over Zane?

If something had happened to Alvin, Anya would have done everything to destroy their family and company from the roots. She might even find false evidence just to make them suffer. Other than that, he saw no advantage from it.

Cordelia frowned hearing no response from Casper. So she reached out and held his shoulder, "Casper…"

Casper lost his temper right away. He shrugged Cordelia's hand and growled at her, "Shut up. Don't try to behave magnanimously. Do you think I don't know Gianna has threatened you and is holding evidence against you?"

Cordelia's eyes widened hearing Casper. Fear and uneasiness were evident in her eyes as she shivered when she heard his cold, intimidating voice.

Casper didn't stop there. "I didn't even know I was feeding two criminals at my home." He clenched his teeth and said in contempt, "If you women can't use your brain, don't use it to destroy everything."

Cordelia felt a cold run down her spine staring into Casper's furious gaze. Casper never spoke to her this way and never in her dreams thought she would see the disdain in his eyes for her.

N0 v el Next. CoM

She wanted to ask him to send her out of the country so that Alvin and Anya won't be able to do something, but her lips moved as if she had lost voice.

Casper breathed hard and tried to cool himself. But looked at Cordelia in disgust and warned her, "Behave and stay in the mansion. Anya and Alvin already know about your accomplishment. Don't even dare to hide anything about it with the lawyers." He didn't know when the cops would knock on the door and arrest Cordelia.

Cordelia had guessed it the moment Elder Collins warned her. Yet she was frozen all the way to the Matthews mansion.

—–––––

At Majestic Clubhouse,

Ean knew it was impossible to divert the mood of the people. Since it was a party and nothing important was happening, he officially began the party in the three-party halls.

There were still many people who approached him to speak about Skylark and some people asked him about Alvin and the Matthews family.

On the other side of the clubhouse, Alvin was surprised when Anya hugged him out of the blue in the elevator. He cupped her face and pulled her head back to look at her.

He was considering she might be exhausted after her work and the Matthews family but she had a content smile on her face, maybe a bit tired too.

Anya grinned with a hint of mischievousness, "It's good to have a husband who completes what I start." The arrival of the cops wouldn't have been so impactful if Alvin hadn't joined Kylie, Flora, spy in the security department of the Majestic clubhouse.

Alvin: "..."

Credits to his big boy down there getting excited, Anya's words meant something completely different to him. He wanted to ask her to be precise with her words. He let go of her face and let her hug him while trying to distract his mind.

He had indeed arranged for Flora as Gianna would try something to put him or Anya Owen down in front of all. He didn't care about himself but he wasn't ready to let Anya suffer for anything even if Anya was capable enough to ignore it.

Well, before Gianna could do something at the party, Anya's plans were set in motion. Hence he instructed Max to bring Flora. Kylie voluntarily came forward to help and Rick caught the man in time.

When his wife was trying her best to minimize the damage by calling the cops right before the party began, the rest of the things just fell into place for her.

"Goofball!!" He exclaimed, pecking on the side of her forehead. "Let's just appear at the party for a moment and leave." Or else Ean will hound him for years.

He heard her hum while her slender arms were tightening around him as if she couldn't grasp him in her arms. "What are you doing?"

Anya's struggling voice sounded, "I don't know." And she demanded, "I want more."

Alvin was confused for a moment before realizing she was playing with him for not hugging back. He wrapped his arms around her. He heard her long sigh of relief and words of contentment, "This is perfect." It was that easy to make her happy.

Before he could laugh heartily at her silliness, the elevator doors opened and an adorable voice reached their ears, "Momma…" Just like that, another man took his wife's attention and love.

Anya was surprised looking at Zane. It wasn't the first time Zane was wearing a suit but she has to agree that tailored fit suits give an amazing look.

To beat the cold, Zane was wearing a black body warming high neck sweater. It was cleanly tucked in the cashmere wine red slim-fit trousers. He had layered with the same colored blazer which had a single button and artificial flower on the lapel.

With a stylish hairdo, Zane was looking handsome and a true head-turner like his father. Anya knew her son was growing too fast but this look made him feel like he was eight or nine.

"My baby, you look so handsome." and cute. Anya held him and kissed his cheek, "What will mommy do if girls start chasing after you?" Anya overacted with a loud gasp.

Alvin and Rob: "..."

They looked at the kid and wondered if girls chase after boys from such a young age.

Well, it was his mother's way to say he was more than good-looking. However, Zane knew his father was there to compete with him.

Thus, Zane smirked at his father as he kissed Anya's cheek, "Thank you, Momma." Then he tugged her towards the suite, "Momma, get ready quickly. I am hungry." He had come out with Rob to either find them or get something to eat. Seeing the elevator reach their floor, he knew Anya and Alvin were in there.

Anya chuckled and let her son lead her way. Alvin narrowed his eyes at the little man who challenged him just now. Looks like the little brat doesn't know it was his genes that made him look so good.

Regardless, Alvin glanced at Rob who understood the task and went to get some starters for his little boss.

Alvin ignored his wife obsessing over her son and went inside the room. Going through the row of dinner suits, his gaze halted at the burgundy red color. Looks like he needs to show his little enemy who was the father. He picked it up and chose a black shirt and black shoes to pair with.
