巡回检察组全集

The evidence Anya gathered against Casper and the video of the shooters\' confession could be proven as insufficient or manipulated. Nevertheless, they could send Casper behind bars if they use the maid and Ricardo\'s confession with audio or video of the device Ricardo bugged in the study room. 

However, they will have to deal with Ricardo who is untrustworthy. It will be a waste of time and effort to deal with the two-faced man who could jump the ship any second. 

Rob wanted to take a look at the study room in the Matthews mansion. If Ricardo had bugged the room with a spy camera, it would be enough to send Casper to his doomed life. Or at least, they could ruin Casper\'s leftover reputation by showing his fake heart attack.

The same netizens and media who were sympathizing with Casper for having to go through so much at his age will start hurling stones at Casper.

Unfortunately, Rob didn\'t get the chance. Casper glared at his butler who grasped the orders and ran upstairs. They could hear the butler hurried steps and the loud bang when he closed the door of the study room. The key reached Casper\'s pocket.

Casper glared at Ricardo. He couldn\'t believe he celebrated too quickly. He was gloating thinking he was saved by Ricardo but the same person was endangering his life.

He could have used medical issues to keep the laws and court away, and Liam and Harrison would have run the company smoothly in his absence. But all his efforts turned into ashes for believing in Ricardo. 

Ricardo\'s interference jeopardized everything. How could Casper not thirst for Ricardo\'s blood?

"You mother****!!" Casper cussed Ricardo. 

Ricardo cut in, annoyed by Casper\'s choice of words, "Casper Matthews, You are going too far. Don\'t forget, I have proof against it." Although he never intended to use it against Casper, he never meant to use it to keep himself safe.

\'Going too far?\' Casper looked at Ricardo as if he was looking at the mentally retarded man. He scoffed, "I haven\'t even started, you scoundrel."

Alvin pitied the humans in front of him. Casper would be a fool if he thinks he could destroy the audio or video on his own and nobody could reach it. His wife could dig out the information at her fingertips.

Now that he learned Ricardo was the man behind the scenes to get Casper out of his misery and played his first cards, he lost interest in watching the fools fight verbally and threaten each other. 

He stood up and turned to Casper with a look of disdain. He interjected, "Chairman Matthews," He snickered, meeting Casper\'s gaze, "Happy new year." He taunted the man with an arrogant smirk on his face.

Casper shifted his murderous gaze on Alvin, his son who could turn every situation around in his favor. He didn\'t know if clever suited Alvin but the craftiness was made for him. Undoubtedly, he accepted that his second son was a better version of himself.

Before Casper could voice some nonsense, Alvin walked out of the mansion and Rob followed him out, sparing a last glance. 

Inside the mansion, Casper grunted at the butler, waving his hand at the maids, "Lock them away." He ordered the butler. Then he turned to Ricardo who flicked meeting deathly stares. 

Ricardo tried to make amends as he stepped back, "Chairman Matthews, I didn\'t mean to cause any harm. I have saved…"

\'Pow\'

Casper punched the man to vent his anger. Ricardo failed in strength so he couldn\'t only try to protect himself with his arms and groan in pain when Casper thrashed him like a punching bag.

Casper breathed heavily when he stopped but the rage was burning red in his eyes. He grabbed Ricardo\'s collar and dragged him upstairs. His efforts all these years to stay fit came into handy.

Pushing the man inside the study, he demanded, "Where the f**king hell is your bug?"

Bruised and in pain, Ricardo maliciously looked at Casper. He never in his dream thought he would be beaten up. It hurt his ego. "You will pay for this." He growled at Ricardo.

Casper started laughing like a maniac and stopped abruptly, "Did you forget you came here inconspicuously?"  Ricardo wanted to stay out of Alvin and Anya\'s radar. However, he had warned the man that Alvin will visit the Matthews mansion after his call.

Casper shrugged his shoulders and smiled evilly, "Nobody will know if you are buried in the estate." No words seemed to be an empty threat and he meant it.

Eight or nine murders, the punishment won\'t increase more, will it? Casper scoffed.

Creeped out, Ricardo: "…"

Ricardo\'s eyes widened hearing Casper. He realized Casper wasn\'t the same person who didn\'t make his hand dirty or did anything illegal. Casper could do anything to save himself from the misery or pull him down too. 

Why would he risk his life? 

Ricardo looked around in the study room and handed the bug to Casper, purely to keep himself safe and leave the mansion soon.

He showed his mobile and deleted the files and confessed the truth, "I have no other copy and nobody else knows about it." He hurriedly said with the panic gripping his heart that was shuddering in fear.

Well, Casper wasn\'t going to trust Ricardo so easily. He snatched the mobile and locked Ricardo in one of the rooms in the mansion. "Be my guest." He announced.

Casper ignored the screams, threats, and loud slamming on the door. He went to find the maids and terrorized them.

In the Rolls Royce Ghost,

Rob reported to Alvin as soon as they entered the car, "Mr. Matthews refused to take our help." 

Getting out of the Matthews mansion was Liam\'s decision. However, it wasn\'t enough to keep Liam and his family safe. Alvin offered to help him but he didn\'t fret over it. If Liam was capable enough to be safe, good for him. Or else Liam will again learn the hard way.

Alvin merely hummed in response to Rob. He closed his eyes as if relaxing but his mind was busy planning his next move. And the one question, will Casper save the company, attack him or handle Ricardo?

The car came to a halt in front of a luxurious apartment. Rob got out of the car and met Harrison who was moving out of the apartment provided by Matthews Industries.

\'Knock, knock…\' Rob knocked on the window after a few minutes.

Alvin opened his eyes, realizing Harrison refused them too. He sighed. Being good is more difficult than he thought. But he has to give it a try for his wife who will worry about the casualties of battle.

Alvin got out of the car and headed to the truck where Harrison was standing. There was a moment he considered Harrison must have helped Casper as Harrison was loyal to Casper. Harrison proved him wrong and stood on his principles.

Harrison turned around when he heard the footsteps. He didn\'t waste Alvin\'s time and directly voiced his opinion, "President Matthews, I\'m honestly tired of the Matthews family." 

Taking Alvin\'s help would be the same as provoking Casper. He had enough savings for his retirement. His son and daughter were working abroad. So he was leaving the city, back to his native town, to live the rest of his life in peace.

Alvin looked at the man who had lost his calmness and was disgusted by Casper Matthews who will vent his frustration at one who can\'t fight back. Casper will find a chance to drag Harrison back to the company and torture him. He wasn\'t going to watch Casper, making Harrison\'s life difficult.

Alvin spoke in a calm, composed voice, "This is the least I could do for you and your wife." They took care of him when nobody was there. He was just going to protect them for a few days.

Harrison froze when he discerned what Alvin meant to say. Alvin\'s sincerity cooled Harrison down. He was reluctant but still nodded, "Alright then. I will go on a vacation." Alvin had planned to send Harrison and his wife to one of his holiday houses on an island.

Alvin was a bit surprised but didn\'t show it on his face. His wife was right, sincerity on the right people does wonders. He met Mrs. Harrison\'s eyes, she flashed him a soft smile. He nodded as a greeting and went back to his car. The meeting, greeting, smiling, and talking weren\'t his forte.

Rob instructed a few men to move the things and sent the couple to the airport for an immediate flight.
