Chapter 568  Obsessed With Her

If she was Anya Owen from six years ago, she could only swallow Casper\'s tricks and oblige him. She was a scared little girl who didn\'t dream big and didn\'t wish for a troublesome life. A simple, happy life was all she wanted.

Well, now she has grown up and got a taste of life in the world. She has learned to fight to live a happy life. Nothing comes easy in life.

However, with Casper meddling in their life repeatedly, his efforts to stain her image, followed by using her image weren\'t secret to her.

Although Casper\'s plan gave Miles a chance to kill Alvin\'s men, Casper never tried to kill or physically harm anybody. He did try to drive her away six years ago but she believed he didn\'t mean to hurt her.

Nevertheless, that doesn\'t make him innocent. He was the root cause of all the troubles and suffering of his family. He failed to be a loyal husband to Gianna and a good father to his kids.

Alvin wouldn\'t have been born to a woman who feared to raise him and abandoned him. Gianna wouldn\'t have hated Alvin to her core. The Sallow family wouldn\'t have humiliated Alvin at every chance they got. Cordelia wouldn\'t have bothered about the family\'s reputation due to Alvin\'s appearance.

Then who should punish Casper?

What could be his punishment?

Will he learn his lesson if he loses the company and wealth?

No. It will only make him resent them more.

If he has learned his wrongdoing, why couldn\'t he humble himself and repent?

Out of all, she had questions that made her wonder, why did Casper fail to love anybody but business and himself?

Why doesn\'t he have anybody close to his heart? A friend perhaps?

After a long stretch of silence, Anya questioned Alvin, "Any idea how Casper Matthews lived through his teenage and twenties?" She strongly believes family, love, and friends could make or break a person.

She probed, "Why doesn\'t he have any friends but business associates?" She has dug into most of the details of Casper.

Anya breathed a long sigh hearing no efforts from Alvin to respond to her questions.

Family, childhood, and adulting mold a person. Being repressed and abused turns into a person they hate the most – An abuser.

However, some people grow up into a better version of their family or parents. That pops another question, how could Liam and Alvin be so different from Casper?

Liam found love in his arranged marriage. Her husband was on the borderline of being obsessed with her.

So they shouldn\'t blame Casper\'s doing on Casper\'s parents or grandparents, should they?

There was time, she wanted Alvin to have the dysfunctional Matthews family even if they just met yearly once. She hoped for Janet Collins to be less selfish and be his mother even if it was too late.

Even after her daydream has turned into a pile of ash, she just couldn\'t stop having other wishful thoughts. She answered Alvin\'s question, "I- I want him to realize his doing and his behavior with his family wasn\'t right. It might be too late to fix everything, but a sincere apology will soothe at least a tiny bit of damage."

Anya tilted her head to meet Alvin\'s gaze. Of course, they could reduce Casper to nobody. But every Matthews member will carry a heavy heart thinking of their family. "Then everyone will move on in their life."

Alvin looked at his wife who was foolishly hoping for some silver line of goodness in Casper. Liam would have still held on to everything and everyone if there was even a fraction of goodness left in the Matthews family.

Even if Alvin wanted to fulfill all her wishes, he gave her a reality check, "Little Donut, an apology costs his pride." Casper won\'t swallow his pride in front of others, especially the Matthews members. They had given him lots of chances but Casper did what he wanted to do.

Anya pouted in disappointment after hearing him. Then Casper should hide in his mansion, live alone, and die alone in his luxuriousness. He will only complicate things if he pulls another trick.

Soon Anya melted into Alvin\'s arms when they shifted the topic about their long, long work-action aka honeymoon.

After lunch in a restaurant with everyone, Alvin went to work in Skylark. In the Oasis mansion, Zane studied with Anya, surprisingly he let her cuddle him the whole time.

Anya wasn\'t distracted by Arcane anymore and held on to her patience. Nonetheless, worry sprouted for Krystle who had begun to realize how her life would change working at Linus\'s startup.

….

The same evening,

The media houses who were supposed to hype the Matthews family relayed on Anya\'s seminar video clips for TRP. They were indeed angry at Anya who ignored them but they couldn\'t show it, especially after Ean Watson\'s subtle warning in an email.

And they wouldn\'t dare to provoke her, especially after knowing she was a world-class hacker who could be as dangerous as lava.

Thus without any efforts from the team Ace, Anya\'s video clips began circulating. The officer who was supposed to be a secret agent turned into an internet sensation in Narnia.

…

The three days went by smoothly like butter melting on a hot pan. Whether in online articles, news headlines, or social media, Casper found no word mention of the Matthews family anywhere. He lived like a robot unable to even feel or express his own emotions.

Miles Johnson came back to his consciousness on Wednesday. Anya dropped Zane to school and reached the office on Thursday.

Despite having no energy, Miles glared at her the moment she stepped inside the room. Her petite face framed in her short hair, and her pretty winter outfit were a perfect disguise to her. He still couldn\'t believe she single-handedly handled all the men he had hired.

Her steely gray eyes were only her reality. Cold. Crafty. Cruel.

But she was also, Stouthearted. Skilled. Steadfast. He hated her guts.

After hearing the doctor say Miles Johnson will need another two weeks of treatment. Anya stood in front of Miles.

He spat at her, "They will kill you."

Anya looked at the man who was filled with intense hatred. He has to suffer more between dark walls before he comes to the stage of spilling the truth. So she saved her breath from questioning anything.

Instead, she broadened his view, "Miles Johnson, you are officially dead to the world." So those people weren\'t going to look for Miles and they were safe.

Miles widened his eyes hearing Anya.

Anya used her mobile for a few seconds and displayed the screen to him. The first headline said \'Miles Johnson lost his life due to malfunction of his private jet.\'

Anya again used her phone and displayed it to him. \'Vice President of the Johnson Companies is a new president.\'

Anya again repeated and showed her mobile. It had a picture of his mother sitting in front of a tomb that had Miles\'s name and picture. Below it was \'Chairwoman Johnson grieving at her son\'s grave.\'

Miles\'s complexion paled. He realized the criminal organization lit his plane but Anya had smartly changed the plan and mercilessly dumped him in a wooden box.

However, Miles\'s lips arced into a sly smirk. His secretary and Dane Tiller know her and they will find him soon.
