A new dawn, another day of suffering for Gianna in the prison. She refused to accept anything she had done and chose to stay silent for all the critical questions. The interrogating cops were irritated, wasting their festive day behind her.
In the police agency, Gianna confessed to every detail and cooperated with the cops. The cops ignored Wilson most of the time hearing him making new fictional stories around his plan, against Alvin.
Wilson was panicked when he got to know Janet had hired the lawyer for herself and Starlight was choosing to stand by Janet although all her projects and endorsements were likely to be canceled.
Requesting to meet Janet, he again tried to threaten her by taking their kids' names and earned a tight slap on his face. His efforts to reach his friends to hire a lawyer failed miserably even when he offered millions of money that he didn't have.
While some sympathized with Janet due to Wilson, most of the netizens wrote against her for abandoning Alvin for her career and being heartless to Alvin for the other two children.
The media continued to play the day's events in a loop, arranged debates, opened polls, and asked the opinion of the public for rating. The mixed opinion put a question mark on Janet's career.
Whereas nobody knows what Janet was planning for her career and future.
In the business world, people often discussed if Alvin or Anya had a hand in keeping Casper busy with the company but nobody dared to voice it aloud without proper evidence. The baseless accusations could put them behind the bars for slandering.
The internal fight and discussion about the new CEO were heated between shareholders of the company. Ditching the festival celebration, the shareholders and related people were planning to gather in different places with various intentions.
…
In contrast at the Nest Regency, Alvin was helpless against his wife who was mischievous early in the morning, biting and kissing his face.
"I know you are awake," Anya whispered in his ear and tugged his ear with her teeth.
Alvin groaned at the pleasing pain. He was itching to pin her on the bed and devour her but his little enemy was right on the bed.
After failing to bribe him, Anya had to plead with him. "Alvin, help me… Please… There are only two weeks left until my qualification test. I need to be in the best form."
Her son was the source of her motivation in the past years. She was alone and she had no choice or no plan B. She has become lethargic and ' Alvin Crazy' after marrying him. So she wants someone to push her above her limits and Alvin could challenge her every limitation.
Alvin opened his eyes to the pretty, petite face of his wife, blinking her puppy eyes, jutting her lips, making a pleading face.
Who would believe she was the same woman who bruised a man with a single blow?
On the second note, he had no idea she was tested every year. And why was he needed for her physical training? "How were you training in the past?" His morning voice was a bit hoarse.
Anya's brows raised hearing him. Will her husband pass up? She quickly used another method. Sounding indifferent, "Alright, I will find Senon, Paxton, Melvin, and Chief." Standing up, she pretended to check her fitness band for the time, "It's Chief's training time." She announced.
Despite seeing through her plan, Alvin yanked her into his arms without letting her take a step away. Why does he dislike every man she likes and admires?
He took the challenge to get her likes and admiration for himself, "I will make you the best of the bests." He was determined.
Anya grinned, getting the same energy from her new trainer or gym partner. Thus started her hellish winter training, testing every muscle, bone, and tissue in her body.
—————
At Matthews Mansion,
Casper questioned Harrison as soon as he exited the bedroom to head towards the company. "What are they up to?"
Harrison had gone through all the details he received overnight. So he held out the tab to show pictures and he reported, "CEO Matthews and First Young madam went to the Oasis mansion, Hill Valley. The Second Young Master drove to Nest Regency and spent the night there with his wife and son."
He paused and glanced at Casper whose fury was ticking right behind the calm facade. The pictures were of Anya and Alvin who were jogging in the regency and laughing together in some pictures.
Honestly, Harrison was truly happy for Alvin and pitied Casper for never seeing anything above his pride and business. He completed his report, "There are no suspicious moves and actions identified yet."
Casper wasn't able to guess or get an inkling about Alvin's plan. Yet there were two, enjoying their morning, throwing snow at each other. How could he not be angry?
However, he suddenly got a thought putting his anger behind him. Were they jogging normally to be fit or whether Anya has truly resigned?
If she hadn't resigned, why does she want to become Dean? Is it a mission?
Then Anya was dangerous. Steve Hanks might see his end soon and could be of no help if he troubles Anya.
On second thought, Casper didn't believe what he deduced. Why would the top administration take the risk of using Anya in an important mission after her identity was revealed?
And what was the need for her to put her life at risk when she had a billionaire husband who could afford anything and she had the greatest achievement award a citizen could ever get?
Brushing off his thoughts, he returned the Ipad to Harrison and got in the car, completely ignoring Cordelia. Although Alvin or Ean hadn't filed a complaint, Cordelia will be behind bars when Benjamin Matthews opens his mouth to the truth.
The car hadn't left the estate when it came to a halt. Harrison's face darkened looking at the young man in his late twenties. The most cunning and manipulative second son of Benjamin Matthews. The family who were hungrily waiting to have the Matthews Industries and to become the head of the Matthews clan.
'Knock, Knock…'
Casper rolled his window down and heard the energetic, firm voice of the man, "Uncle Casper, it would be an honor to work by your side."
Harrison could only clench his teeth hearing Damon. He should be glad Casper wasn't planning to hand the company to a random person but this man, Damon Matthews was a snake. Not the person to keep in a close space.
Casper didn't spare an eye or a word and cued Damon to get in the car.
Damon straightened his back and smirked. He and his father had struggled to get Liam away from his family. Tried to hurt Liam numerous times on his business trips but failed.
Now that the family is broken apart, they couldn't get a better time to strike their chance. With his one call at the right time, Casper invited him to join the company.
He dropped a message as he went around the car to sit, [The wait ends.]
His wolfish smile disappeared and looked like a serious man when he removed an envelope from his blazer, "Uncle Casper, Alvin Matthews's first project in Narnia - the restoration of the old museum and building the new museum is put on hold due to the legal battle in the court."
Harrison: "..."
Casper received the envelope to look at the details as he continued to hear. "His second project is going to be the restoration of five monuments and the palace. His team is highly efficient and has been working by his side for years in different countries."
Damon looked at Casper getting happy at the details he had gathered. He continued, "Apart from excavation and museum, he has varied business connections through investments and purchase."
Fetching a business card from his pocket, Damon said what Casper wished for and what he needed, "I happen to find a person who could keep him busy in a different country." Handling Liam was easier than Alvin. So it was important for them to send Alvin away. He won't be going to do that but Casper will.
Casper got more interested in Alvin's rival in his field. Alvin's absence from the country was very beneficial to him. So he snickered as he asked, "Busy with?"
Damon hid his cunning smile and responded, "Blown up site." It would be national news when an excavation site was destroyed in an explosion. He was certain Casper wouldn't care about the innocent people.
