Chapter 133 - Im Back (1/2)
Not just Alvin, even Anya's face turned dark when they heard Bernard. They weren't sure if Bernard thinks of them as stupids as he was stupid to think he could trick her and Alvin.
Before Anya could say anything, Alvin deadpanned, ”I will bring you there.” He was ready to help her clear her name.
Inarticulate, Anya turned to Alvin. She couldn't believe he was confident to break through the top-notch security with her and for her. Although it felt good to have support, he was putting himself in danger.
Was he brave? Or foolishly brave?
Bernard chided his nephew immediately, ”Have you lost your mind? Trespassing President's area will cost you years of imprisonment.” Although he was irked by Alvin's behavior, he wouldn't let Alvin put his life at risk.
Anya decided to break the security by herself and speak with Kyle. She spoke calmly before the duo could start a war, ”Not required then.”
Bernard was disappointed. Nevertheless, Alvin accurately knew she was up to something. She won't give up so easily, will she?
The butler hurriedly reached Alvin in light footsteps and whispered something in Alvin's ear. The latter just nodded in response before the butler left.
Anya, who thought for a few seconds if she had anything else to ask Bernard, stood up, ”I will take my leave.” Without waiting for a response, she turned around and walked away.
Her son will be looking at the door and waiting for her, she needs to accompany him.
'Beep.'
Anya fished and checked her mobile to see who messaged her.
'Tap… Tap… Tap…'
She heard steady footsteps coming in front of her. Lifting her head, she identified Alvin's stepbrother, Liam Matthews. Despite the positive news over the message, her eyes turned as cold as a glacier.
Liam was in a dark blue perfectly tailored business suit. He wore indifference on his face but the frowns on his forehead didn't go unnoticed by Anya.
Finding the hint of confusion in his eyes, Anya guessed Liam neither identified her nor has the current picture of her. Hence she passed by him without giving him another glance.
She had lots of questions. Importantly, she already revealed to Alvin that the Matthews family was threatening her and even looking at her information. She couldn't understand why Alvin let his stepbrother enter the mansion when she was right there with her whole family.
A cold ran down her spine. She trusted Alvin, she wanted to trust him but these unanswered questions, the complicated circumstances were making her jelly. She couldn't take risks with the lives of her family.
Liam slightly frowned looking at an unknown lady in leisurewear and home slipper, walking around in his brother's mansion. As far as he knew Alvin never brought any woman home, he thought she might be Linus's girlfriend and proceeded to the dining hall.
Liam was entering the dining area when the faint voices he was hearing fell into deafening silence. He faintly smiled looking at the old man, ”Uncle Bernard, you are here too.” He respectfully greeted him.
”Liam!!” Bernard wasn't expecting to see Liam there. ”How are you doing? How is your princess?” He was the same considerate man who everyone would blindly believe in.
Bernard apologized after recalling the invitation he declined, ”I am sorry, I couldn't make time to drop by.” Working as President of the country, he couldn't attend small and general banquets due to safety reasons.
Liam sat down where Anya was sitting before. He spoke a few words with Bernard while Alvin feigned ignorance.
Alvin was irritated that he couldn't follow Anya. He had a lot to ask and know. He needs to know what her plans are. But these men were not letting him go.
Keeping his annoyance aside, Bernard left the mansion after asking Alvin to be careful without taking any rash steps.
Looking at the tension between Bernard and Alvin, Liam was sure Anya was really with Alvin as Anya was President's assistant general secretary and Bernard was worried about Alvin.
Liam came directly to the point, ”Alvin, where is Ms. Owen?”
