Chapter 390: 390 Sacrifice

After her encounter with Alvin on Friday evening, Janet would prefer to avoid him. But her husband forced her to attend the banquet so that he could make use of every smallest chance.

Her fate brought her back in front of Alvin. All she felt was humiliation facing Alvin or hear every word.

Krystle's jaws dropped when Alvin made Janet an escort but she stayed quiet as a mouse. She scolds, she fights, she curses yet she was mortified hearing Alvin.

Krystle could understand he was angry at Janet but Janet was still his mother, wasn't she?

Linus knew Alvin had tried to legally free himself from the Matthews family. So he wasn't the least bit surprised by Alvin's words. Alvin always ignored Janet but Janet's actions undoubtedly provoked him.

"Alvin..." Bernard reminded Alvin to mind his words. He wanted to add 'don't forget she is still your mother,' but the words stuck in his throat.

Janet never did anything to help Alvin. She was never there when he needed support. If she prioritizes her fame and career over the life of a young boy who was her grandson, oddly Alvin's words justified her actions.

Alvin clenched his jaws glaring at Janet whose eyes had filled and turned red. Sometimes, he truly wanted to understand her troubles, hence he allowed her to enter his mansion.

Time and again, Janet always proved he meant nothing to her. Now, she prioritized herself over the life of his son.

Yet, people expect him to behave and listen to her crap. Ridiculous, wasn't it?

He gave her one last chance. Not because he wanted his mother or hoped for her to treat him like a son. It was the last chance to know the true Janet and give her a chance to fix her actions.

Even if there was a hint of worry about Zane's safety in Janet, he was going to stop Casper from playing with Janet's reputation and career.

If there was nothing but her self-glorification, he won't let her step anywhere around him or his family.

His voice dropped to freezing when he asked solemnly, "Why are you here?"

Janet never built any emotional connections with Alvin. Other than knowing she gave birth to him, she felt nothing for him. She just hoped for him to live a good life.

So Alvin was nothing but an acquaintance she sees once a few years. It was the first time she was seeing him repeatedly in a small course of time.

Hearing him, she looked at his indecipherable expression. When was he friendly anyway. Grabbing the chance, she spoke but carefully.

"Casper Matthews called me yesterday night. If you don't take the case back, he will release information about you and me."

Some people might think Janet would get many movies and shows having such an influential man as a son. But once netizens dig about Alvin's birth, and find out the truth of Casper's one-night stand after years of marriage, she will lose everything and gain nothing. She would be entitled as a third woman. And Alvin...

"You just started a company and got married. Your birth history will affect your son and wife too." Janet added.

Despite sounding like she was worried about Alvin and his family if one heard her properly, she wasn't worried about the reason behind the legal suit they lodged but his birth history of Alvin.

Bernard sighed, shaking his head in resignation. Alvin wasn't a fool and Janet would never rectify herself.

The problem was his birth history. Was it his mistake? Why will he, his Goofball, and his little enemy have to bear the consequences?

Alvin hissed through his teeth, "So?" He probed her to let her continue so that he could know what was in her mind.

Janet assumed he was considering the problem and suggested, "For everyone's well-being, why don't you reconsider the case?" Then she hurriedly added, "Or could you stop Casper Matthews?"

Alvin couldn't believe Janet was shameless to talk roundabout for her benefit. Well, he knew to play too. "My wife and son have no issues with the news leak."

If they had such a problem, Casper would have made use of it by calling them instead of Janet.

Alvin continued, "As for me, I don't give two hoots about my birth history."

So why would he waste time and resources to track Casper and stop the news?

Janet being the celebrity, if Casper releases the news about them, it would take just a few minutes for the news to spread worldwide.

But of course, Alvin had his ways to stop Casper but he wasn't going to do it.

Janet was flustered when her plan backfired. It was true she was more bothered about herself than Alvin or his family. She was trying her best to speak carefully but reached a dead end.

Alvin silently watched Janet troubled and edgy without uttering her motive directly. She had even ruined the last chance he gave.

He probed her, "Is that it, Mrs. Wilson?"

Janet wanted to tell Alvin about her problem but knew he was going to be furious just like her brother. So she started thinking of different ways.

Alvin saw Rob keeping the new mobile in front of him on the center table. He instructed solemnly, "Get my checkbook."

Krystle couldn't believe Alvin was paying Janet for sleeping with Casper and giving birth to him. She started wondering how Anya might react to this.

Janet furrowed hearing Alvin. She understood Alvin was purposefully pushing her to end so that she could spill the beans.

She wasn't an escort or surrogate mother to get paid for sleeping with Casper or giving birth to Alvin.

"Alvin Matthews," Janet growled at Alvin. "What's wrong with focusing on my career? Why shouldn't I care about my life and job? Why do I have to sacrifice everything for you?"

An eerie silence filled the living hall after Janet's outburst. Krystle knew at one point Janet did what she wanted to do in life. Why shouldn't a woman choose to pursue their career?

Bernard knew this wasn't going to end on a good note. He wanted to drag his sister out of there before it became more complicated.

Rob went to get the cheque book ignoring Janet. Linus rolled his eyes. There was nothing wrong in choosing the career but she should have been careful and known her responsibilities when she decided to keep the baby and gave birth to Alvin.

Leaving the past behind, Janet still chose herself over the life of her grandson. Alvin could take the case back but how safe will he be with Gianna freely living outside?

Should they monitor Zane all his life and make him a criminal?

Alvin snickered hearing Janet. He had thought Flora would be the most foolish woman he would ever meet in his life but his mother turned out to be the most ridiculous one.

If she doesn't care about him or his son, why will he care about Casper's threat to her?

"Mrs. Wilson, why should I compromise on my son's safety for you?" Alvin taunted Janet with a question, for expecting him to listen to her.
