His Devious Rule

Chapter 573  Danger

Exiting the Skylark, Casper buried his frustration over every single thing. Everything he controlled, managed, and treasured was disintegrating.

He could still take control over the company by saying he changed the will, and leak the news that Alvin holds no right over anything. After all, most of the shareholders voted for Linus Collins because of breaking news of his will.

However, those actions will have adverse effects on the company. He will lose credibility in the field of business. He would rather retire pridefully than lose the leftover respect in the business field.

He started believing Gianna's words. Nothing could go back to normal.

Nonetheless, the business and schemes couldn't be removed from a businessman. He still mulled over what he could do that could grant him all control without affecting the company.

Linus Collins.

Linus's failure could give him a small leeway. But Linus's failure would be Matthews Industries' failure. The business was already running on the edge, Will it be good to trouble Linus?

His mobile went off a third time without his attention. The first call was by his butler and the second was by his lady secretary. He noticed the third call was by the deputy chief of police, hence he answered the call.

"Deputy Warner!?" Casper was a bit cautious, wondering if Anya and Alvin gained any substantial evidence against him on the four murders in country A.

There was a hurried voice of the middle-aged man from the other side.[Chairman Matthews, your butler arrived at the station in the morning and reported that Ricardo Porter is planning against you and Alvin Matthews.]

Casper: "…"

After learning Ricardo Porter was using his mansion maids and set him against Alvin purposefully, he had scared the crap out of Ricardo. Then he just had to pull a few strings. He easily ruined two of Porter's massive projects, and Porter's company lost its high-income subsidiary.

Anyway, they weren't in contact. How did the butler get to know about Ricardo Porter's actions?

He guessed his butler could be the main mole in the mansion. But why did he Deputy Chief Warner continued, [He has confessed everything he was doing for Chairman Porter and we have found enough evidence to arrest him.] There was a voluntarily visit the police station?

What could Ricardo Porter do to Alvin or him?

Deputy Chief Warner continued, [He has confessed everything he was doing for Chairman Porter and we have found enough evidence to arrest him.] There was a pause in the line before a wary voice continued, [But he is on the run, you have to be careful.]

Casper realized Ricardo was seeking revenge for slipping his control over his company. He discerned Ricardo was trying to physically harm him. But Alvin?

Casper's eyes faintly widened. He realized Alvin also attacked Ricardo who was directly responsible for the death of two security staff in country A.

'No doubt, Porter is freaked out.' Casper thought, completely believing in Alvin bringing Porter on the road.

Why would Ricardo dig his grave deeper instead of smoothly getting out of the case?

Shrugging his thoughts, Casper responded to Casper, "Alright."

[Err… Two cops will be at your mansion for your security.] Warner added considering the rich man's life's at risk. He added, [Drop by at the station tomorrow for your statement.] Because they were busy tracking Ricardo.

Casper agreed to go before the call ended. Since Warner called him personally, he was sure Anya or Alvin would receive the call too.

If Anya gets to know Alvin's life is in danger, she will squash Ricardo like a bug on the path. He didn't worry about Ricardo harming him.

Wait… Did he just think about Alvin's life?

He breathed a long sigh at his thoughts. Looks like another person, and the company are impacted in their crossfire.

He closed his eyes to rest. But uncontrollably, his thoughts began pondering about how he could take control of his company without affecting the business.

The luxurious car gave the ultimate comfort, Casper didn't realize the car was going off the lane from side to side on the road. The driver was losing his focus, looked drowsy, and struggling to drive.

The driver unconsciously fell on the steering wheel and his foot pressed on the accelerator hard.

'Thud…'

Casper gasped awake in the split second when the car rammed into a bus and climbed on the divider.

His eyes went wild in raw terror witnessing the car front rise in the air. By the time he could grab onto the situation, his body was thrown to the far end of the door,

Before Casper could have any other thought, another course of pain inflicted by the airbags slammed on his face, and fainted in shock.

…

After fifteen minutes in the Skylark,

Rob, who rushed inside Alvin's office with the breaking news, wasn't looking horrified due to Casper's accident. His mind ran wild if Casper drew the accident to blame it on Alvin as Casper left from there.

Anya grasped the situation and wrapped her arms around Zane, covering his ears in the process. Alvin didn't stop Rob who was out of sorts.

Rob tried his best to sound composed due to Zane in the room. He clenched his teeth to control his emotions and revealed, "Casper Matthews met with a severe car - incident." He avoided mentioning words such as crash, collision, and accident due to Zane.

Anya and Alvin were quick to catch on to the real meaning behind Rob's words. Alvin's face darkened, analyzing the depth of the situation whereas Anya instinctively wanted to check on the situation. "I will reach the location." She stated.

Alvin too wanted a clear view of the situation so he chose to go with her. He stood up saying, "I will come."

Anya momentarily froze before speaking with Zane, "Baby, could you be with Uncle Rob? We got some urgent work."

Hearing the hurriedness in her tone, Zane was obedient and agreed without thinking twice, "Sure, Momma."

Alvin instructed Rob grabbing his and Alvin's winter jackets, "Send the details."

Rob wanted to follow Alvin but he also knew the importance of Zane's safety. Since Anya was there to handle the cops and legal procedures if any, he silently agreed and watched the couple rushing out.

"Uncle Rob, what happened?" Zane's confused voice sounded while he watched his parents look damn serious and restless.

Rob closed his eyes for a moment before acquiring his cool. He trusted the couple to smoothly so he let go of his worry. He turned to the little man and eased him, "A mishap that needs your parents' attention."

Zane looked at Rob's face and believed Rob was telling the truth. He softly nodded and went to Rob's office with the iPad.

….

In the Rolls Royce,

Anya fished her mobile out to dial her team when it started ringing, displaying 'Deputy Police Chief Warner.' She immediately answered, assuming the call was about the accident. "Hello!?"

Warner repeated in a hurry, forgetting her resignation, [Officer Owen, your husband's life is in danger due to Ricardo Porter. Don't get on the road. I suggest you stay safe and inside.]

Anya had heard about Ricardo Porter. Alvin just played behind the scenes to make Casper's plan more effective.

Wasn't Ricardo supposed to be attacking Casper?

Wait, Casper met with an accident. Was it planned?

"Deputy Warner, we learned just now…"

'Crash.'

Before Anya could complete her words, a truck intentionally rear-ended their car.
