His Devious Rule

Chapter 319 A Deadly Couple

Benjamin and Harrison's eyes widened witnessing Casper smashing the telephone. They never saw Casper so angry and losing his control.

'That Bastard?'

It couldn't be Alvin, right? Well, it was also the first time Casper called his son a bastard.

Harrison looked at Casper who was breathing heavily holding the corner of his desk. His face was dark and his eyes held the storm that could destroy someone easily. Unfortunately, it couldn't touch the person behind that anger.

Harrison wasn't as shocked by the news as Benjamin. On Casper's order, they had tried to measure the wealth and power Alvin could be having. The deeper they were digging about Alvin, it left them baffled.

Alvin had chosen a business that was risky yet indestructible. The antique and artifacts were something inexpensive and connections through it were wider than a company could ever establish in ten years.

That was the reason Harrison always assisted Casper to drive away from Alvin. However, the grandson, heir of the Matthews family was driving them crazy. The ludicrous thing was they kept offending the parents of their heir.

Benjamin took a long time to gather himself from the shock. 'Alvin?' A bastard they always ignored. He had heard tits and bits about Alvin starting a business in foreign countries and building a magnificent mansion in the Hill Valley, an highly expensive and secure area.

He had assumed Alvin was probably doing good but never expected it could be worth fifty billion. If those fifty billion were investments, Matthews Industries would have reached the heights of never seen success. But Alvin bought the shares from shareholders.

Is Alvin so successful?

What is he up to?

If the amount was invested, the media and nation would have exclaimed at Matthews Industries. Now it was easy to deduce there was conflict within the Matthews family.

"B-brother Casper… W-what are we going to do?" Benjamin hesitantly asked, afraid that Casper might vent his frustration on them.

"You could do nothing." It was the lively voice of a young man.

Smirking evilly, Ean walked into the office at leisure spinning an invitation card in his hand. There was obvious exhaustion on his face due to non stop travel and negotiation meetings for half a month. However, his charm concealed it.

His eyes sparkled looking at the broken telephone, and television speaking about Skylark. 'Fantastic.'

Well, wondering why he was there?

? Just to fuel the fire. And Alvin and Anya had no plans to ruin them… Yet. It was the beginning.

Ean looked at Harrison, "Secretary Harrison, coffee please…"

Harrison: "..."

He had expected Alvin to come and infuriate Casper. Right, he had forgotten Alvin was about actions, not words.

Ean hissed through his teeth and continued, "Never mind. I don't take chances of being poisoned."

Harrison: "..."

Ean watched at Casper who was glowering at him. He snickered looking him in the eyes. Ean had visited the Matthews mansions numerous times when Alvin was staying there. Not even a single time did Casper spare a word to him, considering him as his son's friend. Even when he was greeting Casper, the latter would merely hum as if he was his employee or a servant.

One could judge how parents treat their children by how they interact with their child's friends. Ean was well aware of how Alvin was treated without anybody telling him.

Well, the time has changed. Now Casper will look at him and also listen to him. "Threatening!?"  His blood still boils, recalling how Casper had called them and said about Elder Collins's hospitalization.

"Chairman Matthews, did you forget you aren't young anymore?" Ean mused sitting on the swivel chair in front of Casper.

The three: "..."

How the hell did Ean Watson enter the company and office so easily? Benjamin doubted, hearing Ean taunting Casper.

Ean glanced at the broken telephone, "This time a telephone. What will you break next? And then?" He smirked, indicating he could be hospitalized with hypertension one day.

Ean sounded disappointed, indirectly looking down on Casper's capabilities, "Alvin and I would have enjoyed it if you were young. That thrill is kickass. Tsk." But Casper was getting older as soon as they became adults.

Casper glared at Ean who hadn't even aged as much as he had the experience in the business. Speaking of negotiating with Ean was of no use. He needs to see Alvin.

Ean shrugged and placed the inauguration and party invitation card on the desk. "Alvin specially asked me to print extra cards for you and your BIG family." Saying it, his eyes fell on Benjamin.

It was because of Anya. The media and their achievements of Alvin will speak of Alvin's success in his career. However, success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to a successful life.

Anya wanted the Matthews family to witness that whatever they might have done in the past, Alvin found his happiness and was living happily. They should regret mistreating Alvin, if not, be envious of him. Because Alvin was no more reachable to them.

Whereas Ean knew Alvin's motive. Alvin was giving a chance for the Matthews family to lie in their favor to manage the situation. When their words spread wide and far with their control, Alvin could gain complete control over the Matthews.

In other words, these two were a deadly couple. One is vengeful and protective of her husband. Another one is domineering, shielding his wife and her wishes.

Ean was a messenger and a friend. He pointed at the invitation card, "I guess you need it to protect your holes." he smirked and walked out of the office room.

Walking away, Ean winked at a pretty lady who was sitting with other secretaries. She blushed, lowering her head with an assumption that Ean Watson likes her for helping him meet Casper.

…

Inside the office,

Casper probably should have chosen to stay low. However, looking at the Skylark logo on the invitation card, his brain started digging his grave by plotting against Alvin.

"Benjamin…" He started instructing Benjamin about his plan. Harrison kept trying to interject to stop them but Casper didn't listen to him.

Casper turned to Harrison. "Get me the location of Alvin. Quick."

Harrison could only do as instructed.

Casper smirked without knowing Alvin had set the trap. Not attacking him aimlessly.
