巡回检察组全集

When Alvin's introduction was completed, Ean took the lead to brief about the Skylark and its goals. Nobody noticed Benjamin Matthews sneak out of the event when he got a call but Rob.

Alvin was bored whereas Anya was intently learning about the company while sipping water like champagne without her awareness.

Considering how she was under her control in her senses, he imagined what she might do if she was drunk. She might go to Casper and beat the hell out of him. He didn't take the chance of giving her a glass of wine or champagne.

Should he inform her about the attempt to murder? He better keep it to himself for now instead of stressing her more.

…

On the other end,

Casper was trying to hold his ground when people often glanced at him with contempt. He was a business tycoon and the father of Alvin. How could Alvin spare no word for him? It was more humiliating than spoiling his image with words.

Casper forced a smile at the people who approached him, "Chairman Matthews, you must be proud of your sons. Your second son is brilliant." He enviously complimented Casper

Casper forced a smile in response while cursing them in his mind to leave from there immediately. He clearly knew they weren't there to compliment.

Another one asked, hiding his suspicion, "Why did your son buy so many shares of Matthews Industries?"

"Yeah, is everything alright between you guys?" Although there seemed to be a concern in the tone, he was digging in for some exciting piece of news.

Another man named Ricardo Porter, a business rival approached Casper with a smug smile. He was the one who was ready to invest in Alvin's start-up company after knowing Casper pulled his investment. So he knew Alvin and Casper weren't on good terms.

"How couldn't they be alright? I'm sure Chairman Matthews challenged his second son to achieve something big. After all, who could achieve staying in their comfort zone?" He started fuelling so that he could light a big fire.

Casper glared at Ricardo who always competed with him and the Matthews Industries. He should stay cool while Alvin and his team were ignoring him like a beggar on the street. It was humiliating but, avoiding the event was humiliating in front of the whole world.

"Right. Chairman Matthews is so lucky."

Ricardo Porter probed in astonishment, "Chairman Matthews, what are you doing here? Aren't you inaugurating the Skylark? Go and be with your son and daughter-in-law." he wanted to laugh seeing him standing not-so-far, not even near.

Many enviously looked at Casper for having such a capable son. However, a man asked, "Talking about daughter-in-law, didn't your second son break up with the Dalton girl recently, Chairman Matthews? Is it because of this girl?" He was indirectly asking if the daughter-in-law was a gold digger or someone wealthier than Daltons.

"Which family is your daughter-in-law from?" Suddenly a silence fell over after that question. They waited for Casper's response.

Casper wanted to avoid opening his mouth to any question as his words could be used against him. So he clenched his fist and stayed calm.

Harrison spoke seeing them relentlessly irritating Casper, "Let's focus on the event. You all will get to know about Second Young Madam."

However, Casper's business rival, Ricardo Porter sucked through his teeth, pretending to have a sudden realization, "Don't tell us you don't know about them being together."

Casper clenched his teeth and continued to hear them while Alvin and Anya were flirting.

….

Anya might not understand much about the business, but the numbers were a piece of cake for her. So she could estimate the plan was made for a long term and the turnover was going to be in sharp rise. Last but not the least, Ean was very confident in what he was doing and he seemed to enjoy it.

When she felt a rim of the glass on her lips, she sipped the liquid before she realized it wasn't water. Woah, her husband had a unique way to get her attention.

She needs to be clear-headed so she wasn't going to drink it. She changed the topic to Rob who was instructing people as she gave her attention to Alvin. "Alvin, why is Robertson your secretary? He is capable of much more, isn't he?"

Alvin glanced at Rob. Robertson was capable hence he was his secretary. A secretary could be able to match his speed and zeal while working with him. Hence he wasn't going to fix Rob to a job title.

Instead of telling her that, he offered her a position with a tease in his tone, "Little Donut, why don't you become my naughty secretary?"

Anya wanted to smack his head. She seriously asked and here he was playing with her. "Do you want a secretary to work or seduce you?" She demanded a response, narrowing her eyes at him.

Alvin wrapped his arms around her shoulder and tilted close to her, "When did I ask you to work?" His hypnotizing voice was suggestive.

Anya bit her lips to stop smiling. So he wanted her to seduce him. Won't he get bored seeing her in the office and at home?

More than that, he was the owner of the company, shouldn't he be more serious about his company? "And when will you work?" She probed.

Ean glanced at the couple who were flirting while he was working hard to put the best image of the company in front of the world. Yet, half of the attendees' eyes were on the couple who were busy with each other.

Alvin ignored all the eyes and responded to the first and the last question Anya asked, "Darling, I have another secretary to do that." So her work will be just to flirt with him or keep him distracted from the work.

Anya opened her lips and closed them. She couldn't believe he didn't care about his company. She glanced at him who sipped champagne at ease. He trusts Ean and Rob a lot yet he pretends like he doesn't care about them.

She was about to comment, and a middle-aged person approached them and toasted, "President Matthews, your achievements are commendable…"

Anya heard his introduction and then he offered cooperation with Skylark to discuss it in further days. However, her husband rejected the offer right on his face without batting an eyelid.

"Not interested." Clear and crisp like a sharp slap on the face.

When the man awkwardly left with a forced smile on his face, Anya asked in confusion, "Why did you decline?" It was just a proposal for cooperation. He didn't even hear what that man had in his offer.

,m Alvin glanced at her. His wife is a Goofball. She didn't even notice that the man was ignoring her because she wasn't from a known wealthy family.

Meanwhile, Alvin heard Ean announce, "I request Alvin Matthews to invite the special guest to launch the company logo and the website of our company." Everyone turned to Casper as they clapped for him.

Alvin unwrapped his hand and left their glasses on the table. He held her hand as he bluntly responded to her question, "He ignored you, Little Donut."

Anya: "…"

Anya was baffled. Honestly, she didn't care about it. She didn't even notice it until he said it. It didn't matter whether those people noticed her and spoke to her. Unless they stay within their boundary, she wouldn't care about it.

Following him, she tried to make him understand, "Alvin, I'm unrelated to your business world." He doesn't have to do that for her.

Alvin handed her a small remote and stood beside her. Well, his Little Donut was simple-minded but the world was complex. He wasn't going to let anybody look down on her for any reason.

The whole hall was frozen, including Anya who looked at the remote in her hand. The wall had the company name and logo with a date that was covered behind white drapes.

As soon as she clicks the button, the company website will be launched and the milestone would be displayed to complete the inauguration of the company.

Casper forced a smile and pretended to be normal while watching the two in the center. Whereas those people weren't ready to buy it.

"There seems to be big drama in the Matthews family."

"I couldn't believe he didn't even give a million to his second son."

"If he had given it, he wouldn't be standing here."

"Looks like the son is going to acquire his father's company."

"Today's headlines are going to be amazing." They laughed.

Casper felt each of their words slap on his face. He gritted his teeth, assuming Alvin was doing it on purpose, and intentionally revealed his struggle in the foreign country.

He had lived in pride all these years. People looked up to him. How could he let himself listen to other people's crap? He was itching to interfere or disrupt the inauguration.
