Chapter 474 Smitten



Without waiting for the response or reaction from the two gorgeous men, Anya turned to Rob, "Rob, check the air quality around the explosion. You might have to quickly begin the treatment of the staff if there was any poisonous content in the air."

Zane was at the scene and she had gone much closer to the trucks. She quickly added, "let me know the result." She wouldn't take the chance with Zane's health.

Rob didn't wait for Alvin's reaction. He quickly got to work as there were many people at the scene after the explosion.

Without a pause, Anya turned to Alvin and asked in all seriousness, "I want a laptop. I will try to process the footage for the shooters' images." Anya had noticed the whole archaeological site was under surveillance. She was hoping one of the cameras would catch the culprits.

"Shhh…." Alvin shushed her as he gently cupped her petite face. He couldn't remove the officer from Anya. He could only sigh, seeing her haste to catch the culprits when she just had to give the orders and wait.

Anya pouted, reading the unsaid words. She never sat and waited. She was confident to look through the footage and confirm if it was helpful or not. She can't sit and wait for the person to do the work when she didn't even know the person was capable.

A tuneful voice cut into the silence, "I can lend my team to you." It was the lady in black.

When Anya who showed disinterest the whole time became active, it caught Aarvi Evans and Shawn Rivas's attention. Hence both stood behind Aaron Rivas and heard Anya decipher and simplify the whole situation.

Although Anya didn't know about Shawn and it was a coincidence, it was undeniable that she saved Shawn. Due to Alvin Matthews's appearance with his men at the resort, the two culprits didn't try to harm Shawn but fled.

Rather than owing, Aarvi stepped forward to help them in return for Anya's efforts when she could have ignored Shawn the moment she learned about the misunderstanding.

Meeting those distant gray eyes that revealed no emotions, Aarvi added confidently, "I can assure Officer Owen that my team is very capable." She had heard her team brief her that Anya Owen was the youngest Presidential award from Narnia.

Neither Shawn nor Aarvi could believe the lady who looked so young and simple was an exceptional officer from Narnia.

Anya who wanted to turn down Aarvi was enticed after hearing 'Officer Owen and the 'Capable team.' Aarvi had no reason to brag about her team. However, she wanted Alvin's opinion because she had no idea about these people.

Suddenly, there was an adorable voice yammering, "Mommy… Mommy…" Anya's eyes sparkled when she heard her son. She flashed a sweet smile at her husband who hadn't ignored her words and brought her baby.

The crowd stood stunned and utterly mute when Zane skipped over to Anya who had a lovely smile. "Oh, my baby." Anya hugged the little man who stole everyone's breath.

The Rivas group and Alvin's men watched the little man shower Anya with all the love and compliments for saving a helpless man from the kidnapper.

Shawn: "..."

Alvin sighed. He could never take off her worry like his little enemy. Whispers of another couple floated to his ear, "Ronron, she is just twenty-six." Then there was a jerk of a chair due to the kick and grumbled, "We would have had a baby like him if you had married me at twenty-one."

The next moment, she was next to the mother and son, "He is lovely. How old is he?" It was a hesitant tone of beguiling beauty in black.

Zane shifted to Anya and turned to the lady who looked like she wanted to talk to him and hold him.

Anya could read that Aarvi was in love with her baby. It was motherly affection. He gave a gentle push to Zane who understood her cue.

"Hello, I'm Zane Owen Matthews. I will be six next year."

Aaron Rivas got over his bafflement and noticed Aarvi was mesmerized by the adorable five-year-old who didn't let Aarvi touch his cheek. So he cooked up a plan to let his wife win over the little man, "Dinner?" He invited the family of three to the dinner.

The deep tone of the handsome man failed to grab the attention of the mother and son but Aarvi was delighted by her husband.

Alvin's brows raised after hearing Aaron. They were never acquainted but he could understand Aaron would do anything for his wife. His eyes went to Anya and he could understand what Aaron might be feeling. "Sure."

Aarvi immediately drew the plan without hiding her excitement, "I heard the chopper land. Let's go to the Avron mansion. I will cook for Zane." The Avron mansion was their home.

To stop the three freaking out due to his wife, Aaron calmly added to entice them, "Since the shooter isn't caught, it would be safer than any hotel or resort."

Aarvi followed right after him, "Your staff will be shifted to Rivas Hospital for tests if they have inhaled toxic smoke. Two of your men are injured in the collapse and one is having difficulty breathing. Their treatment will be taken care of." She reduced their tasks to avoid hearing any excuses.

Rob who went to report the same, noticed black earbuds in Aarvi's ear and understood that she was gathering news all the while. He nodded at Alvin in confirmation when the latter glanced at him.

Shawn broke the silence, "Bro, Little Heart is smitten by the little man."

Aarvi was embarrassed, Aaron smiled resignedly, and Anya was chuckling with Shawn while Alvin and Zane looked too cool and proud of their genes and looks.

….

After forty minutes, at Avron mansion,

Aarvi personally guided Anya to the study room and gave Anya the devices she needed.

Anya saw through Aarvi's plan but she didn't interfere when Aarvi stole the little man saying his momma has some urgent work.

Downstairs, Zane looked to his father for help to save him from the woman who was excessively attentive to him and treating him like a two-year-old. But Alvin let his little enemy learn to handle the women and went to get fresh in the guest room.

Alvin agreed to go because he lost all hope in Casper. If Casper could fall low, kill four men, and put so many people in danger, he might try to kill Anya and him in country A. Zane was an heir so he might not be in danger. So the Rivas territory in Country A was the best choice for their safety.

–––––

At Matthews mansion, Narnia,

It was late into the night. The snowfall was getting fierce as the night deepened. The heavy snowfall seemed to have the mood of the person who was inside the mansion.

Without finding the solution for Alvin's clever but devious move, having no way to stop his second son from making the Matthews Industries his playground, Casper wasn't the least bit sleepy.

He tried to do the office work when he continued to think without eating or drinking enough water that his body needed. He grabbed another bottle of scotch and poured the liquid into his glass before chugging it down his throat.

He couldn't believe his second son was so smart that the group of business experts who were well experienced failed to come up with a plan against Alvin.

It was late into the night when a mobile rang loudly on the desk. He frowned looking at the call from Country A. He answered it to hear, [Chairman Matthews,] It was the heavy breathy voice of a man, [A few men have captured my partner. They are looking for me.] And he was running to escape.

Casper's eyes widened. His hand shook and slipped the glass to the floor. His heart shuddered in his chest and raced, leaving him short of breath.

If he gets caught, Anya or Alvin or both would ruin every ounce of his reputation and destroy the company.

He was overwhelmed with numerous wild thoughts, making him dizzy. The mobile felt too heavy to hold in his left hand. The unknown pain coursed through his body before he collapsed on the floor and fainted.
