The celebrities, socialites' families, businessmen, and women were flowing in. While some cared to stand and pose for the camera, some were there for the pictures. A lot of people just walked away waving their hands at the media as a form of greeting.
When a private and known limousine halted in front of the green carpet, may it be a business or entertainment circle, everyone was in a frenzy, taking pictures of the closed door of the car. They didn't want to miss even a small movement of the Matthews family.
The first door to open was the shotgun seat, Secretary Harrison alighted the car first. Buttoning his blazer, he went to the back door and stood knowing what was happening inside the car.
Casper looked at his mother and wife. He never felt handling women so tiresome looking at their proud expressions. "Gianna, don't try to be over-smart inside. And Mom…" He turned to a proud expression of his mother, "Control your anger and mind the words before you speak"
Cordelia furrowed. Her son never behaved in such a way with her. "You-" She stopped herself and put her proud expression on her face. She wasn't there for Alvin but to meet Zane. She didn't want Zane to think he doesn't support his father.
She was indeed going to put on a scene when she would see Zane. She will make the couple look like negligent parents for bringing a kid to the party that involved drinks. Then she will pretend to be a good great-grandmother who wants to take care of her great-grandson.
What could Anya or Alvin do at that time? So Cordelia ignored her son's rudeness to avoid him sending her away.
Casper discerned the problem wasn't Alvin all these years. The problem was his family, these two women. Alvin was just retaliating. However, he still didn't realize everything started with him and he owes more than an apology to Gianna.
He unlocked the door and got down while Secretary Harrison took it as a cue and opened the door for Cordelia. He helped her out while Casper helped his wife out like a gentleman.
The media were surprised to see Cordelia who never attended any event after her husband expired, other than Liam's wedding. The cameras shuttered nonstop. Forget about looking at the media, Cordelia wasn't able to open her eyes due to flashes.
Standing next to Casper with a subtle smile, Gianna smugly smiled looking at Rob going towards them, coldly staring at them. Looks like her first dose of shock had made Alvin panic.
Wouldn't he let them talk to the media now? She wasn't interested in ruining her family name that way.
Casper thought Alvin was putting on an act and Cordelia was getting more arrogant looking at the royal treatment for them.
Nevertheless, Rob ignored them without even offering a greeting to them. The guards went behind them and an ordinary cab came to a halt. Everyone's attention went to the cab while the Mathews family turned red in embarrassment.
The four entered inside while Rob looked at Ean who pulled his hat down repeatedly to cover his face. Since Ean's father didn't allow him to leave, he escaped the house and booked a cab, and arrived at the venue.
Only after entering the queue of cars, he recalled there were people everywhere. He looked unkempt, the guests' entrance was being live telecasted. His father will skin him alive if he gets to know before the event.
Ean threatened when the guards covered him, "If my picture leaks, I swear I will beat all of you." He scoffed.
Rob narrowed his eyes at Ean who demanded that he should receive him (Ean) while he was worried about the invisible threat around Alvin and Zane. Any manager or even just the guards could have escorted him inside.
"Where is the respect? I'm your CEO." Ean scoffed, stealing his eyes away. He wanted to speak about the accident with Rob as Alvin wouldn't speak about it with him.
While the media failed to get a glimpse of the man in a hat, they focused on other guests. Taking the stairs instead of the busy elevator, Ean tried his best to get some information about the accident.
Gianna, who had excused herself to the restroom, heard the two men speak in the emergency exit, "Lady boss hasn't arrived yet. So there will be a delay in their schedule. If you want to start the party, you have half an hour to get ready."
Gianna quickly moved away when she heard the footsteps move. She was going back to the banquet hall wondering why Anya hadn't arrived yet. She heard an explicit remark, "You just want to hook up with a rich man. Don't make it sound like he is unfair."
"Then what are you here for?"
"To find an investor, the hotter, the better."
The smell of gold diggers in the entertainment industry was too heavy. Gianna imagined Janet sleeping with Casper.
Janet slept with Casper when he was married. Why not send these women to Alvin's bed?
Overcome with hatred, she chose to trick them into Alvin's room. "Then I suggest you choose Alvin Matthews. He is young and rich enough to support hundreds like you." She paused seeing them in shock.
She gave another push, "210. His wife hasn't arrived yet." Only if she could send the paparazzi behind them. Anyway, she returned to the banquet hall before Casper becomes suspicious of her.
The three ladies discussed among themselves. A lady refuted from joining the madness, "Don't even think of it. I heard Alvin Matthews is ruthless. I don't want to lose my career." She walked away.
Among the ocean of fishes, Alvin was like a killer whale. The chances of survival were too low.
The other two ignored her and focused on Alvin, Kylie, named the artist spoke, "I heard Alvin Matthews is dashing. Even top A-listers couldn't match his looks." She daydreamed of looking at the gorgeous shirtless man.
Another one doubted, "Would he sleep around with other women?" They have seen men who lust over every other girl and also know the men who are loyal to their women.
Kylie flipped her hair, "I'm young and beautiful. You think I can't win on a mommy ex-cop woman." She envisioned Anya as a fat, ugly, insensible woman.
Thus Kylie bravely proceeded to the east wing of the clubhouse, imagining Alvin spoiling her with luxury goods and investing money into her films.
Her daydream paused when a man in a black suit stopped her, "Please leave, it's a restricted area."
The lady flashed a sultry smile at the man. She had seen and handled many of these securities, "Mr. Matthews asked for me. He even left me with his room number. 210."
However, the expression of the man didn't change. He used the walkie-talkie and reached Rob, "Mr. Robertson, a woman is saying the boss asked for her and gave her the room number."
Kylie's expression changed. Normally guards would let go once they hear the name of their boss. She tried to be optimistic and forced a smile at him.
There was a long pause in the line before the response came, [Send her.]
Kylie's eyes brightened and grinned, finding Alvin as a douchebag like the other rich men. She entered the luxurious east wing of the clubhouse in awe. If she hadn't begged the invite card from an investor, she wouldn't have got a chance to step into the Majestic clubhouse.
She suddenly fished her mobile from the clutch and checked the battery level. She had enough battery to record a video to blackmail Alvin if he refuses to support her.
With a smug smile, "Alvin Matthews, let's have a nice deal." She mumbled standing in front of the door numbered 210.
