His Devious Rule



Harrison knew Casper cared about no one but Casper never did anything illegal, at least under Harrison's watch. He was struggling day and night to save the company from falling out in the crisis, whereas his boss was on a killing spree. It ticked off his nerves.

The cry of the baby added more fuel to his anger. His brows quivered in anger, he loathed the man in front of him. He threw the paper on Casper's face and some through his teeth, "I had thought you were a good businessman but you are a bloody murderer. You don't care about anybody, couldn't you consider a baby?"

"Harrison!" Casper growled at Harrison in disbelief. His breath hitched, eye flared at the audacity of his secretary.

Ricardo: "..."

He never thought Casper could be lambasted by his own loyal secretary. Glancing at Alvin, he discerned it was Alvin's game. He enjoyed the show sipping his whiskey. He was chill until he wasn't the one at the gunpoint.

Harrison didn't care about his conduct or age of Casper. He was listening to Casper all these years because he was a secretary. That didn't mean he feared Casper or worried about losing the job. 

So he reproached Casper fearlessly. "Were you planning to kill more sitting with that nauseating lowlife?" His hand pointed behind where Ricardo was sitting.

This was the reason Casper kept Harrison away from the attack on Anya's villa, his recent illegal acts, and the hospital drama. Hearing Harrison going too far, Casper couldn't hold back anymore. He stood up and threw a punch. 

How dare a mere secretary to behave so highly in front of him?

Nevertheless, Harrison caught Casper's fist at ease and roughly pushed him onto the couch. He was itching to throw back the punch but controlled. He declared, "Casper Matthews, you have turned into a true definition of a monster. And I don't associate myself with such ugly creatures." 

'A Monster,' Casper glared at his secretary but it didn't affect Harrison or anybody in the living hall. 

Harrison pulled an envelope from his jacket and threw it on the coffee table. It had his resignation with a cheque for leaving the company without prior notice. He didn't want to step inside the Matthews mansion or the company again in his life.

The hall resumed its silence after Harrison stormed out. The silence filled with Casper's heavy breathing. His eyes brushed over the papers lying around.

The location of the Matthews mansion when the call was traced. The mobile contact details of the shooters. The photos of the explosion and dead men. Although that evidence wasn't enough to prove in the court that Casper had a hand in the explosion and poisoning of food, Liam and Harrison didn't need specific proof to learn the truth.

Casper's eyes glinted darkly when he turned to Alvin who put his loyal employee against him. Whereas Alvin propped his head and flashed him an alluring but menacing smirk.

Did Casper truly think his silence for the whole day was because he was helpless or feared him?

Alvin did fear that Zane would lose his friends if Casper colluded with any of the event management company's employees. Thus Alvin wanted to make sure nothing goes wrong at the first party Zane was throwing for his friends.

He did worry for the lives of his archaeologists and his extended families. That doesn't mean he will sit and watch Casper terrorizing them.

'Flick, flick.' Liam flicked his fingers when he saw his father glaring at Alvin. He didn't have all night to stand and wait for the attention.

Casper gave Liam a death glare. If his eyes had the power to kill, Alvin, Liam, and Harrison would have been dead by now. 

The gentleness of Liam was dark and disgusted at what he was looking at. "When my daughter started crying, I had the urge to suffocate you with that very cushion." He pointed at the cushion next to Casper, voicing his real thoughts a minute ago. 

He shook his head in disapproval, "No, my daughter shouldn't have a murderer as a father. I can't be a speck of your dirty image."

There was a time he dreamed of having a big happy family hoping Casper would change as he ages, they can support each other through thick and thin. 

But it never crossed his mind, there could come a day he will have to support their crimes. Not something minor but the murder of eight men.

His bones creep up to think his daughter has to live with those kinds of people. He was disgusted to be Matthews. "Casper Matthews, I have slogged my day and night over the past nine years for your company." Whether Casper destroys it by handing over it to some dimwit or greedy, didn't matter to him anymore. He wasn't going to return. 

"I owe you nothing." He didn't give Casper a chance to say he provided them. "I plead you forget you ever had a son."

Liam was taking steps away but looked back at his father whose rage was dancing on his face. After Casper's act in the hospital and pretending to be bringing Damon Matthews to the company, Liam was well aware Casper could pull another stunt. 

Thus he warned Casper, "If you or your men hover around my daughter or my wife's family, I will kill you." He will gladly become a murderer to keep his daughter safe.

Rob followed Liam out. A warning wasn't enough to keep Casper away. Alvin was lending a hand if Liam had no issues.

Ricardo was in shock after witnessing the Matthews drama. He had learned the Matthews family wasn't what they showed when Casper pulled his investments from Alvin's start-up. He couldn't believe neither Alvin nor Liam liked the massive Matthews assets. Whereas his sons kiss his ass to get more into their account.

Casper's ragged breathing was heavy as if he was short on breath, and might faint any moment. He smashed his whiskey glass on the expensive Persian carpet to curb his anger but it wasn't enough. He shot a menacing glare at Alvin.

If he knew this was going to happen, he would have choked baby Alvin on the day he was brought in front of the mansion.

Rob, who entered inside, took a cue from Alvin and went towards Casper. He pulled a set of papers from his jacket and elegantly placed it on the coffee table in front of Casper.

Casper got a glimpse of the legal paper. He wanted to scoff at Alvin as he wasn't going to give a dime to him but narrowed his eyes at the emancipation paper signed by Alvin.

His eyes widened recalling Anya tearing off the emancipation in the hospital ward. Looking at the developments, he had assumed Anya wanted him to recover soon to send him to prison. 

He didn't sense even once that they knew from the very beginning that he was faking in the hospital. He should have guessed it when he was sent to the ICU.

Alvin snickered when Casper was frozen. In the hospital, Casper was desperate to get rid of him from the Matthews family. So he didn't give him that happiness. So he brought emancipation to free himself from the Matthews family, however, it wasn't any bargaining chip. 

Ricardo stood up to leave but Rob pressed his shoulder hard enough to make the man flinch in pain and sit back. "Chairman Porter, what's the hurry?" He scorned as he poured bourbon into Ricardo's glass and forced him to hold it.

Wasn't Ricardo Porter enjoying the show so far? There is more drama coming up. 

Rob added, "The Porter's drama is still pending."

Ricardo: "…"
