Casper glanced at Alvin. He wasn't like his mother to put on a drama so his eyes shifted to Harrison who had been exhausted all these days repeating he should compromise with Alvin. Now it was too late to even consider it.

"Get my mother out and call the legal team of the company." He instructed Harrison, who took the orders like every time.

Harrison was the least surprised one there. Gianna's actions were suspicious for many days. So he expected the day of her retribution but never thought Anya and Alvin would do it in front of the whole business and socialite families. Instead of taking the party as a celebration, he felt like Alvin gathered people to show the real side of the Matthews family.

Anya and Alvin made their way to Casper very gracefully. Even if Casper wanted to, he couldn't ignore them and stared at the duo.

Alvin wasn't a fool. Was he? He wasn't going to give the chance for Casper to send Cordelia to a place they might not be able to find. "Casper Matthews, the moment your mother steps into any airport," He paused and snickered, "You will find her behind the bars." And Cordelia can't travel by sea so it's the airport.

Casper clenched his jaws realizing Alvin was aware of everything and he was the one who had no clue about it yet.

Nonetheless, why was Alvin or Anya not taking any actions against Cordelia?

What are they planning?

Casper didn't know Anya but he was certain Alvin would have a reason to delay his actions on Cordelia and it was not because of Cordelia's age.

When they didn't care about his age when Alvin was little, why would he bother about their old age?

If Casper had sent Cordelia away, Alvin wouldn't have got the chance to threaten him in any way. Then Casper would have destroyed every chance of Anya achieving her goal to become the dean even though Gianna wasn't eligible to take the position anymore.

With Alvin's intervention, Casper won't be able to send Cordelia out of the city. If he still dared to find a way to bring Cordelia away, what if Alvin catches on and sends Cordelia behind the bars?

Looking down on Alvin was the last thing Casper would do after all these.

Anya watched all the cops leave before turning to Casper, "Chairman Matthews, forget about your wife. Save your company." She gave him a heads up that her next attack wasn't on the family but the place Casper worked hard his entire life.

However, Casper realized it was Saturday and the next day was Sunday. He won't be able to release Gianna on bail.

Anya and Alvin were able to control Gianna and Cordelia because of their unlawful and vicious acts. Casper hadn't done anything as such, so what could an ex-cop, Anya do other than use her hacking skills?

This time, he was going to track her actions and report her if she dares to attack the company.

Alvin knew Anya had a plan against Casper due to his actions. Anyway, he focused on his wife who had just returned doing some work that would be mentally exhausting if not physically. And this series of actions were another headache. He held Anya's hand and went towards the door.

Ean reached there hurriedly. He was getting ready and nobody told him so much had happened. However, he smugly smiled at Alvin, "You have finally learned to show your love towards me." He meant Alvin sent Gianna to prison as soon as he told Gianna was behind the accident and the warning his parents received.

Anya: ".."

Anya could guess his thoughts but Gianna didn't have a hand in accidents. She was detained for attempted kidnapping and phishing.

Alvin looked at his friend top to toe, "No doubt you don't have a girlfriend." He turned to Anya and assured her, "Little Donut, I'm only interested in you."

Anya pursed her lips and looked at Ean. She pitied the man for having Alvin as his best friend who mocks him all the time.

Ean: ".."

He had to give some thought to discern how his friend manipulated his words. He gritted his teeth and hissed in a low voice, "How will I get? You assh*le, if you made me the CEO, when will I get a chance to find my wife?"

Alvin pushed his friend away as he nodded, "I will appoint handsome male secretaries for you." Dating and working wouldn't be a bad combination.

Anya's face turned bright red, controlling her laughter in front of everyone. Her mother-in-law just got detained for attempted kidnap. Flora humiliated the Matthews family. Her laughter would be out of place.

Ean breathed long and deep to keep his calm so that he wouldn't grab Alvin's collar. He proudly announced before the couple could leave, "I appointed three long-legs beauties."

Anya: ".."

Where the hell is seriousness? She couldn't believe they were talking about all dating. And what are long-leg beauties?historical

Alvin pointed his thumb behind the crowd, "I think your favorite long.."

Ean's eyes widened and he quickly strode away saying, "I need to start the party." His friend was better off staying mute.

Anya curiously asked, watching Ean's back, "What were you going to say? Why did he run away?"

Alvin saw Ean looking away from Krystle. Five years ago, Ean almost asked Krystle out for a date but their start-up fell into crisis when Casper pulled the investments out. Then whenever Krystle came across Ean, she relentlessly admonished Ean causing the latter to give up on his thoughts.

Just some days ago, they got to know about the reason behind Krystle's behavior. Anyway, neither Anya nor Krystle have to know about it as Ean wasn't interested in Krystle anymore.

...

The guests in the hall watched Alvin and Anya leave the hall while the security, sent the crowd to their respective banquet halls. Everyone had expected Alvin to cancel the party.

How could he send his mother to prison and continue the celebration?

Was he still in the mood to party?

Their minds were blown. Anyway, rather than talking about Skylark or business, the people started speaking about the dirt of the Matthews family and the reason behind their actions against Alvin.

Then it slowly changed to envy or admiration for Alvin's achievements without the family's help.

Elder Collins wanted to leave as Alvin didn't really care about the formalities of participation. However, he furrowed as soon as he heard Janet breathe in relief.

He was cent percent sure Janet feared about her name being leaked instead of being furious about unfairness for her son and worry about the attempt to kidnap her grandson. He couldn't believe she was still so selfish for her career over Alvin.

'No doubt, Alvin disdains you.' Elder Collins scoffed in his mind and looked away from her.

...

At the corner of the bar in the main banquet hall

The two waiters looked at each other while placing the champagne glasses on the tray. "What to do?" A man asked in a very low voice.

They were appointed by the man who was detained by the cops with Gianna and just now they got to know they were working for Gianna. Since they were already detained, they weren't sure if they have to carry out the plan.
