Chapter 402: 402 Bankrupt

[I think Casper Matthews is implicating me in something serious.]

Alvin knew his father was astute. Casper wouldn't go down so easily. If he has to go down, he would surely pull them with him, or else he would change the game and destroy them. He gritted his teeth for implicating Anya.

Casper had learned Alvin would go to any extent for Anya, especially when her most prestigious award was at risk. And Casper was right. Alvin's complete focus was shifted to getting Anya out, clean and square. But the problem was they had no idea what Casper connected Anya with.

"Little Donut..."

Anya cut in. Her uncertainty was real when she revealed it to Alvin. Nevertheless, she was confident, [Alvin...] Her voice was assuring against his deadly coldness. She could easily guess what he was worried about, [If I'm inefficient to handle Casper Matthews's petty tricks, I'm incompetent for the award too.]

In other words, she was getting the award for a reason. She could get out of the situation believing in herself and her experiences so far. Casper was a fool to think he could incriminate her with his words.

As if he wasn't worried just a few seconds before, Alvin calmly sat back on the chair. Anya Owen was an independent, confident, bold, and artful officer. She could stand against the world alone. However, she was just his Little Donut who he wanted to protect. So he was worried and also infuriated about Casper trapping Anya to target him.

"I want you out of there before evening." Alvin coldly gave the deadline.

If she doesn't safely and soon steps out of Matthews industries, he will make sure Matthews Industries is sold to foreigners without caring about Liam. The proud family business would turn into a company acquired by foreigners. He will watch the Matthews family crumbling in shame.

Anya wanted to deal with this new problem before any words of it fell on Alvin or Jason's ears. So she could only assure her husband who sounded murderous. [Alright then, send bodyguards for me. Don't forget who my husband is.] There was a faint 'hmph' in the end just before she ended the call.

Alvin was amused for a moment. Without their relationship, Anya was desirable for having bodyguards.

Well, the next second his face turned dark. He solemnly instructed Rob who was waiting at the door, "Look for potential organizations that will be interested to acquire Matthews Industries."

He did buy the Matthews Industries shares to control Casper and announce his presence in the city. Thus he had no plan to run the company that belonged to the Matthews family.

The corner of Rob's lips arced up hearing it. He always wanted Alvin to ruin the Matthews Industries to put a full stop to their arrogance. So he was excited to carry out the task, "Roger that."

––––––

At Matthews Industries,

Anya was escorted inside the building with company security and cops due to the media crowd. Stopping the officer by raising her hand, she patiently completed her conversation with Alvin and proceeded inside.

Without contact with the outer world, Casper had no idea about the situation outside the company. Yet he had the audacity to implicate her.

Anya solemnly mentioned to the officer who was there to pick her up, "First, I need to see Casper Matthews." It wasn't a request.

"But..." The officer wanted to turn her down to avoid them exchanging any sensitive information to divert their case.

Anya cut in, "You can stay." She could easily guess their concern so she cleared it.

The officer: "..."

He had read about Anya Owen and her achievements. And she stood true to what he heard about her, cold, distant, overbearing, and smart. He could only bring her to Casper.

In the meeting room, everyone turned to the lobby through the glass wall. They easily guessed she was Anya Owen. They weren't sure if they should be in awe due to her job and award or be wary due to the court cases.

Casper, who was called out, went out of the interrogation room. He snickered looking at her covered, head to toe without any classiness.

Anya was wearing an off-white beanie, coordinating with a neck wrap and sweater that was in-shirted in the black skinny fight, torn jeans. Layered with a thick sandy brown jacket, she looked perfect to hit the winter streets and shop.

Nevertheless, she didn't reach the standards Casper expected her to be as Alvin's wife.

Why does clothing and dressing style decide the capability of a person?

Anya looked at the crooked curve of Casper's lips. Was he expecting her to rile up or cower in fear? She couldn't believe Casper wasn't taking her seriously.

Casper expected Anya to fear without knowing why she was summoned to the company. His lips flattered watching her confidently yet mockingly looking at him.

"Chairman Matthews, I applaud you for your stupidity." Anya mockingly said. In fact, she pitied Casper for whatever game he was playing.

Casper's expression turned dark upon hearing Anya. 'Stupidity?' She had no idea why he made her appearance there. If he successfully incriminated her, then she wouldn't only lose her award, she would also fail to become the dean of the university that she was eyeing.

​

Was he going to lose in the battle? Nope. He had the confidence to make his comeback.

Nonetheless, he will make sure she and Alvin learn who the father was.

Casper fished the paper from his overcoat and displayed it to Anya, "Did your husband think I would let him take me under his control?" He sneered.

He wasn't handling a conglomerate for a few years. He had seen numerous schemes against him. If he was so easy to lose, he would have lost a long back. Alvin will have to waste numerous years on him to win him.

Anya had various speculations on why Casper must have been implicated. As she guessed, by bringing her into the Matthews Industries, he was tying Alvin's hands and by showing something against her husband, he was planning to tie her hands.

'Smart move,' But Casper was an idiot to think their love for each other made them weak. Anya strongly believed she and Alvin could handle whatever Casper was planning.

So what gave you so much confidence in Casper? What was in the paper?

Anya furrowed as soon as her eyes read the words on the fluttering legal papers. All the Matthews shares Alvin bought were invalidated. Alvin's major investment was in the Matthews Industries. If those were invalidated then Alvin would go bankrupt overnight. The Skylark would shut down before it even began. Alvin would lose all his money, bank loans, and investors' money.

Alvin wouldn't be able to restart his business owing billions of money to his investors. It wasn't the amount Anya could earn or afford in her lifetime.

Casper's lips curled up in a victorious smile watching her go pale. Now he will make her accept she has embezzled money from Matthews Industries. She would lose everything she worked hard to gain. On other hand, he will ruin Alvin's life by bankrupting him and making him work under his feet.
