Chapter 281 Goodness Is Never Enough



Cordelia Milton aka Elder madam of the Matthews family sat on the couch and fell into deep thought. The huge living hall was in pin-drop silence including Casper.

She looked at Casper very proudly. Casper hadn\'t disappointed her with his business skills or by giving an heir to the Matthews family.

Although she was disappointed in him knowing about the bastard, she was happy knowing it was a boy. As she couldn\'t have asked Gianna to bear them another child after Casper\'s affair.

Now, she is old. She might not live long. So she wanted an heir to carry forward the blood and legacy of the Matthews.

Since Liam just had a daughter, they weren\'t sure if there would be a son in the future. She didn\'t want to die thinking Matthews\'s legacy was going to end with Liam or Alvin. Since there was already young blood, she wanted to take the chance and secure the future.

"Son, what are you planning next?" Cordelia questioned her son.

Casper knew his mother would be disappointed, yet he stated, "Revealing our weakness would become their advantage. We should smoothen our relationship and pressure Liam." If Liam was able to give them a grandson, they wouldn\'t have to bow to Alvin or Anya.

Cordelia nodded to herself. It wasn\'t new to her that Alvin was against them and she would call him an ungrateful, unfilial bastard for standing against them after growing up.

"How is that woman?" She asked about Anya. If she was good enough, they could turn the situation in their favor.

Gianna controlled herself from using curse words to Anya and stayed quiet.

Casper answered as he relaxed on the couch, "She is the same girl Alvin chose to leave his company."

Cordelia was a bit shocked to know about it. Wasn\'t the younger generation changing their partner every new moon? She couldn\'t believe Alvin was devoted to the same girl.

Casper continued, "And Anya Owen isn\'t a lady to be messed with." He got a taste of it twice in two police agencies. He would be a fool if he underestimates her.

Gianna scoffed at Casper. Was she the woman to be messed with but Anya Owen?

Cordelia was even more surprised and looked at Casper in disbelief. The image of that girl she had was worse than a maid in their mansion. "Didn\'t you say she left the city at your threat?" If she could run away from a simple threat, how could she earn that recognition from Casper.

Casper shook his head. He had indeed believed that for so many years. But his wife was playing too much behind the scenes.

Harrison noticed Casper\'s cue and questioned Gabriel, "Gabriel Matthews, how did you and Madam Matthews send Ms. Owen away from the city?" Earlier Gabriel had just stated that they threatened Anya.

Gabriel wasn\'t ready to get beaten up. He revealed from the beginning how they threatened her by pretending to kill Alvin, sent a bloody doll after knowing her pregnancy, threw stones into her apartment, and reached Earl Lewis\'s apartment causing her to leave the city.

Cordelia was staggered. When Gianna was married into the family, she was nothing but a filial daughter-in-law who managed her responsibility. She couldn\'t believe she had changed so much after Alvin\'s birth. That change was truly terrifying.

Cordelia took time to recover and hissed, "You should have rather killed him in the past." When nobody knew nothing about it.

Harrison: "..."

Gianna\'s aim was never to kill Zane. But seeing how they were considering bringing them to the Matthews family, she even regretted not killing Bastard\'s son in the womb.

Her true color was anyway known to them. So she clenched her teeth and revealed her motive in hatred, "I wanted that shameless b*tch to despise that bastard." For sleeping with her and getting engaged to Flora.

Her resentment grew inside her like a tumor, how her efforts were ruined. She bawled in exasperation, "And his son should have loathed him." Just like how Alvin loathes Casper.

She wanted Alvin to suffer and long all his life. Just like how he was abandoned by his mother, Gianna wanted nobody to accept him. He shouldn\'t have got his love, his son, and never a place to call home.

Rage pulsed through her veins knowing he was getting everything and she was losing it. He got a woman who wished for his happiness. A son to call him a father, a small family to call his own.

Cordelia sighed loudly, shaking her head in resignation. Gianna\'s aim from the beginning was wrong. She had set her life to ruin Alvin\'s life, forgetting she had her own life, a family, a son, and a husband.

"Gianna," Cordelia breathed out softly, "Other\'s failure isn\'t your success." And Gianna was celebrating past years for troubling Anya and Zane. "Your victory should be another\'s defeat," Cordelia added with a long sigh.

Instead of snatching happiness from Alvin, she should have mended her relationship with Casper and stayed happy with her son and family.

Gianna frowned hearing Cordelia. She didn\'t understand her words properly. Did her mother-in-law ask her to forgive that bastard?

But she forgot Alvin did no sin to be forgiven. Her real hatred and anger should have been on Casper and Janet.

Cordelia understood Gianna wasn\'t going to change so quickly. She signaled the maids to take her away and faced her son.

"Bring that girl to university as temporary dean stating Gianna was under the weather." It will avoid any negative news about the Matthew family.

Casper found his mother\'s plan suitable. He could lie to Alvin as switching could cause more trouble and a slow transition would be better.

Cordelia continued with a malicious smile on her wrinkled face, "Let that girl listen to taunts, and insults and face the media\'s ruthless treatment." Cordelia scoffed, "She will leave on her own."

Casper agreed without a question. How long could Anya ignore the brutal comments about her? She might be a powerful officer, but she will be vulnerable as a dean.

That wasn\'t the main plan. It was to appease Alvin by giving her the position. Cordelia came to the point, "Create chances to get her, and her son here by the name of the job." After all, there could be lunch and dinner meetings at work.

"I will find ways to get that boy on our side." Kids like to have fun, play, and enjoy. If they give all that and lure him to live with them, Cordelia was sure to control Alvin and Anya on their terms.

Casper couldn\'t handle the kids so he didn\'t bother thinking about it. His concern was, "Gianna!?"

Cordelia waved her hand as she stood up, "I will handle her." She paused, "Bring Liam back." Kids like kids. Liam\'s daughter could be bait for Alvin\'s son.

Casper became an obedient son to follow his mother\'s command which was well suited to their situation.

—————

At the Oasis mansion,

Unaware of the brewing storm, Anya, who completed arranging everything at her villa, suddenly realized she was moving out the next day.

She should have been happy but she wasn\'t. Looking at the beautiful villa where she and her son will be living, she felt like she was losing something. Not the luxury of the Oasis mansion.

\'Alvin!?\'

After being with him for so many days, she wanted him to go with her, live with her. But his work and his men reporting to him wouldn\'t be convenient at her place. And if she calls him, he might call her to stay in the Oasis mansion.

She rushed to the Oasis mansion to talk to him. She had taken a step inside and her eyes fell on Alvin at the living hall entrance, "Alvin…"

Her footsteps paused looking at cold and annoyed Alvin. Her eyes fell on Linus who was frowning, Krystle was displeased next to him. Going closer to Alvin, she saw Krystle\'s parents who were fuming mad.

Krystle\'s father criticized them harshly, "You can\'t live with his goodness." Goodness is never enough, "Are you going to look after him and his family your whole life?" He scoffed.

Krystle\'s eyes flashed with disappointment. She had thought her parents were the most understanding and cool ones.

Instead of calmly responding, she retorted in anger, "What\'s wrong with that? If mom could do that, why can\'t a man do the same?"

Linus: "..."

Anya\'s lips twitched uncontrollably hearing Krystle which worsened the situation on both sides.
