His Devious Rule

At Matthews Industries,

Liam Matthews had boarded the flight with his wife and daughter as soon as he got the news that his mother was detained.

After an eighteen hours flight back to Narnia, he sent his wife and daughter home and rushed to the Matthews Industries.

Right after landing at the airport, he got to know Anya was a recipient of the highest citizenship award in the nation.

Unbelievable.

It was just six years ago she had begged him not to hurt Alvin and promised to leave the city as soon as possible. She had achieved something people work their lifetime yet fail to gain.

But why did Anya put Gianna behind the bars?

Why did Gianna try to kidnap Anya's son?

Is her son's father Alvin Matthews?

Other than that Liam found no other reason for his mother to think of kidnapping Anya's son.

How much on the internet is true and fabricated?

So he burst into Casper's office room without bothering to knock on the door, "Dad, what is going on?" He demanded a response, entering Casper's office room with knocking.

Casper, who was reading the article against Anya, looked worried and confused at Liam. The latter had no idea about anything that was happening between them and Alvin Matthews.

Ignoring everything, Casper knew Liam wasn't going to listen to him silently anymore. He was going to stand for Alvin, more likely to say, he would stand with the truth.

Liam glanced at the new face in Matthews Industries. Looking at his casual attire, Liam guessed easily he wasn't an employee or the from the legal team.

Casper signaled the man to leave and leaned on his chair. From the time Anya returned to Alvin's life, Alvin was staying for Anya, and Liam was daring to talk back, argue, and go against him.

"Anya Owen and Alvin Matthews are taking revenge on us." He lied. If he says the truth, Liam would stand by Alvin so he was going to put Liam against Alvin.

Liam frowned. Alvin just wanted to stay away from the Matthews family. He was always the one who tried to bring Alvin back. Alvin never wasted time thinking of his parents, why would he bother about revenge?

Did his mother do something again?

"Why did mother try to kidnap Anya's son?" Liam asked what his mother again did even after his warning.

Casper shook his head without accepting the fact. He pointed at the chair in front of him as he pretended to be explaining everything.

"Alvin came here once to ask me to make Anya the dean of the university. I shouldn't have rejected him.

Then he started buying Matthews stocks on one end, and visited home in the name of Zane meeting his paternal grandparents."

Liam didn't sit. "Za-Zane is Alvin's son?" He asked in disbelief.

Casper nodded, accepting Zane as his grandson. Then continued to lie, "They bought a maid from our home and targeted your mother."

"You may not know, Anya is an exceptional officer. She created a foolproof plan against your mother. They waited to gather all the people at the banquet and called cops to arrest her in front of everyone."

He deeply sighed, "All the evidence is against your mother."

"No." Liam was bewildered hearing it. "Why would they do all these?" He was in pure shock.

Casper snickered silently and continued to read the article before approving it.

After a few minutes, Liam stood up shaking his head, "I need to talk to Alvin. I will convince them." After all, Gianna was his mother. He agrees she did wrong in the past, but Anya and Alvin couldn't be so vicious to them.

Casper stood up hurriedly. If Liam hears both sides, he would believe Alvin instead of him. "Liam, stop." He went around the desk and stood in front of Liam, "Do you think I didn't try to speak with them?"

But Liam couldn't believe Anya and Alvin could go to this extent to take revenge. It wasn't making sense to him. Anya had chosen to leave for the happiness of Alvin, Alvin would choose to live in peace away from the Matthews family.

Could they change so much in these years?

Casper continued his nest of lies, without realizing if his lies were found his son was going to be disgusted by him.

"I had even sent the lawyer to meet them. If this continues, Zane's birth history would be revealed and Zane will have to live everyday hearing as a bastard from everyone.

Hadn't you seen how Alvin was due to your mother?" He questioned as Liam always fought with Gianna for calling Alvin a bastard.

Liam recalled how his mother was always insulting Alvin calling him a bastard. He had witnessed how Alvin had slowly turned into an apathetic coldhearted man.

Casper continued without letting Liam think much, "If they weren't even caring about their son's life, do you think they would listen to you?" He demanded a response.

Shrugging his hands in the air, Casper announced like it was true, "Revenge has blinded them."

Casper sounded furious and disappointed by his second son as he continued to manipulate Liam. As far as he knew, Alvin wouldn't voluntarily reach Liam to explain anything. So if he manages to control Liam, he could slowly turn the media attention on Alvin and make him an unfilial son who harmed his family due to his wife.

Despite hearing his father, Liam wanted to meet Alvin and speak to him. If whatever his father said is the truth, he wanted to give his all to convince Alvin and settle things with Alvin.

"Dad, I will speak with Alvin. Trust me on this." Liam said and turned to leave.

How could Liam be so calm without getting angry at Alvin?

Casper caught Liam's arm and pulled him back forcefully. "Do you think you still know him after all these years?" He was irritated that Liam's blood didn't boil hearing Gianna was detained and somebody was scheming against them.

Liam closed his eyes at his father's behavior. He slowly breathed and calmed down, "Dad, everything started with us. We can solve this. Let's give them what they want if that makes them happy. We are family, Dad. Let's stop hurting each other, end this today."

Casper gritted his teeth hearing Liam still being a saint. Fine, he will choose a harder way. "A family?"

He laughed hysterically as if it was a joke. He went to his table, pulled a drawer, and slapped the emancipation papers on the desk, "This is what Alvin thinks of us."

Then he picked up an envelope from the drawer and slapped it on the desk, "This is what Anya Owen did to me."

Liam uneasily picked up the letter and went through the emancipation paper. He couldn't believe Alvin wanted to set himself free from the Matthews family through the legal process. He agrees Alvin didn't earn any love and attention from the Matthews family, but they were still a family. Weren't they?

Then Liam checked the police summons asking Casper to attend the interrogation.

"Do we have any business with Johnson companies?" Casper questioned fiercely, looking at Liam standing in shock, "Yet she tried to ruin our reputation by linking me with the PSR and Johnson money laundering case."

Then he scoffed, saying, "A family, you say."
