Chapter 456: 456 An Army To Win The Battle

At Matthews industries,

Damon swiftly sat on the sofa and put on a stoic face when he heard many footsteps heading toward the office. He was trying to put his heart at ease but it leaped to his throat when he met Casper's deathly glares.

An unknown fear gripped his throat. Self-boosting didn't work. The preparation didn't come in handy when Casper wasn't doing as he expected. With the increase in uncertainties, the luxurious sofa was like a seat of needles.

His palms became clammy and his legs shook in dread, wondering whether Casper was cornering him or using him or if he was overthinking.

Casper ignored Damon as he had hoped to see a different person in the office. He strode inside while hearing a secretary mention the losses and delays in the work due to the raid, followed by employees on long leave due to the festive season and new year.

Harrison had feared Casper's hatred and ego override Casper's commitment towards the business. Since Casper spoke nothing about business or the CEO position with Damon, Harrison was much more relaxed and focused on work.

When the secretary completed reporting to Casper, he signaled everyone to leave and prepared a cup of coffee from the coffee maker at the side.

Damon put on his best confident look on his face and reported to Casper, "Uncle Casper, Mr. Carozza said he will surely take advantage of Alvin's busy schedule." He looked forward to seeing Alvin running out of the country.

Casper shifted his gaze to Damon. Frankly, Casper was stunned when Damon showed him the business card of Carozza, who seldom meets anyone.

If it was so easy to contact Carozza and control Alvin through Carozza, Casper would have done it a long time ago.

For a moment, Casper did think of how long Damon might be keeping an eye on Alvin to fetch such accurate information without many connections and resources. The next second, he didn't care about Alvin and merely grunted at Damon in acknowledgment of his words.

Damon: "..."

Damon's knuckles turned pale, clenching his fists hard. He expected the royal treatment when Casper invited him and asked him to get Alvin's information. On the contrary, he was forcing himself on Casper and Casper was blatantly ignoring him. He felt like a fly hovering around Casper.

Swallowing his pride, he again asked, hoping the conversation to pick Casper's attention to reveal his motive, "Uncle Casper, may I be of any help?" He asked in a constrained voice, pointing his hand towards the files on the desk.

Well, he met with utter silence.

Harrison gently placed a cup of coffee on the desk and straightened his back to listen to any instructions if any. Whereas, Casper spared them no eye and continued to respond to some emails while waiting for someone.

After a few minutes, there were hurried knocks on the door and Liam entered the office room. His expression hardened and he halted in his steps as soon as his eyes caught Damon.

Burying his anger and fear, Damon smirked at the saintly man. He had looked forward to enjoying the two brothers fighting like street dogs for the company but missed the entertainment.

Anyway, he failed to hide his scorn when he greeted Liam, "Brother Liam, long time." He had no intention of befriending Liam or putting on a good brother act.

Liam tried to keep his cool. He prepared the resignation in the morning to let his father do as he wishes. He was taking his own time to visit Casper at the company but he had to rush to the company as soon as his assistant dropped him a message about Damon Matthews.

How could he be cool-headed with Damon around?

He glared at Damon. He had seen Damon finding Alvin to cause trouble, snatching the things away from Alvin in school. The news of it was unheard of by his father and mother.

Thus Liam purposefully intervened between Damon & Alvin and got his school uniform inked so that Gianna could speak to Damon's parents and stop Damon.

Well, it worked, Damon was sent abroad for studies. Nonetheless, Damon wasn't simply a bully. Damon always stirred trouble whenever they met.

"Get out." Liam snapped at Damon and waited for him to leave.

Damon watched Liam in amusement. Angry Liam was a rare sight. When Alvin used to punch back without words, Liam was giving wisdom on how to behave.

Casper's voice sharply cut the silence, "Why will he leave?" He coldly questioned.

Liam clenched his teeth, looking at his father. If his father wanted to argue with him in front of Damon, so be it. He strode to the desk, demanding responses to his questions, "Dad, how could you think of making him the CEO?"

Damon's eyes brightened upon hearing it. Anyway, he stayed mute and looked at Casper without showing his delight.

Harrison controlled himself from shaking his head or saying that Casper had no intention of making Damon CEO.

Casper crossed his legs and leaned back on his chair. Liam had argued but never showed his anger. He wasn't offended yet he scoffed. "I can." He had an ultimate say in the company affairs. "I will do as I want." He sneered, appearing much calmer than he was.

Liam's brows tugged harder without understanding what was wrong with Casper. He glanced at Damon. Even if Casper holds more control over the company and Damon becomes the puppet, Damon was still harmful to the company.

He argued without reading between Casper's words. "If you want to change the CEO, do it." He truly had no problem resigning. The trouble was Damon.

He pointed his finger at Damon and stressed his words, "Anybody but him." He will accept an underqualified but unfaithful, greedy person who likes to covet other's things. "He will ruin everything."

Damon's face darkened as coal while keeping his frustration in check. True, he will work at Matthews Industries for his benefit and to grab the chance to get the company. He craved position, power, money, and company. He just wanted more.

Casper glared at Liam, biting back his anger. He sees brothers fighting for power and position. His elder son was eager to leave the company and the younger was all set to destroy the company.

Rage seized his mind. He growled at Liam, "What do you think of yourself? This is my company."

Liam controlled his urge to respond like Casper. 'My company.' He heard it several times but never felt Matthews Industries belonged to one family or person.

There were many business families' investments, highly qualified management, hard-working employees, and laborers to make the Matthews Industries successful.

How could it belong to one?

It needs an army to win the battle. One man couldn't.

Unfortunately, he couldn't argue with it as Casper would say he was paying them a salary. He fumed feeling helpless to change Casper, "Then run your damned company. You don't need him." He couldn't even bring himself to think of company under Damon.

Casper's eyes flickered in irritation. People were eager and scheming to get the company into their hands. He had worked tirelessly for decades to be the best in the industry. And his son was cursing the company. The fury surged through him. He warned Liam, "Liam Matthews, hold your tongue."
