Gianna watched Anya, unable to believe that she was the sa chubby girl who was clueless. Looking at Anya's reaction after hearing about her son, Gianna realized Anya wasn't interested in letting Casper know about Zane's identity.
Although that's what she wanted, she wasn't ready to believe Anya. The truth will be known one day, even if Liam has a boy in the future, Anya and Alvin's son would be the eldest and gain more power.
She couldn't help but think of how to get rid of Zane before he becos a thorn in their path.
Casper never thought in his life, that a woman was going to look down at him again and again. His eyes fell on Alvin who was openly adoring the woman. He had seen Alvin growing up, annoyed by the woman approaching him. Now, he was witnessing him spoil a woman.
'With such a man next to her, a woman will be wild and uncontrollable.' Casper scoffed in his mind.
'It depends.' He knew she was up to no good. So he asked her before the captain, "What do you an?"
Anya knew the court proceeding would only waste their ti. Gianna wouldn't be punished but warned for lying. So she didn't plan to keep her behind the bars. At the sa ti, she wouldn't give her a chance to appear at her parents' place by herself or by sending soone.
"A sincere apology for wasting my holidays and Alvin's precious ti." Anya put up the first condition.
p
The captain assud it was going to end up with a simple apology. "Mrs. Matthews, go ahead."
Gianna looked away, refusing to bow to them. She didn't get to do anything, why will she apologize?
Casper, who was irritated with the police agency and the small town, commanded his wife, "Gianna, apologize now."
Gianna glared at Casper who snickered, challenging her to go against him. Gritted her teeth, "I am sorry." She vaguely said.
Even the captain knew what was coming next. But there was a twist. Even if Gianna won't be punished, she would find ways to keep Gianna behind the bars by pulling the case for days. "Alvin, I should let Mrs. Matthews has a vacation in the prison. What do you think?" Her voice is sweet as honey.
Gianna growled at her before Alvin could say sothing, "I apologized, what do you want?" She would go insane if he stayed behind the bars another night.
"People don't understand generosity." Alvin sighed, "Alvin, let's go and have so fun."
Casper knew Anya wasn't easy to deal with. More importantly, she knew the laws and rules better than any of them and the lawyers he had.
He went next to his wife and forced a smile, "My wife will apologize sincerely." saying through his teeth, he placed his palm on Gianna's back and pressed it hard enough to make her bow as he pretended to be rubbing her back.
Gianna stilled in a bow. She knew Casper wasn't a man who cared about the woman. He cared about nobody but his business and his family na. She never in her dreams expected Casper to force her to bow.
More than Gianna, Anya was shocked. She loves Alvin but she would never endure sothing like this from him. Before she could realize it, the words slipped her lips, "That's enough."
After seeing her parents, Alvin could guess what family, husband, and wife ant in Anya's life. Unfortunately, not every couple is like her parents. He held her hand and shifted her attention away from the disgusting couple. "Next…"
Anya snapped out as she nodded.
'Next?' Casper's face darkened while Gianna was shaking in anger and humiliation.
"I need both of them to write a letter and sign saying they or their people will never enter this city and try to et my parents. If anything happens to my parents, links to them, they will be solely responsible for it."
Captain Will nodded as he turned to Casper. To get out of there, Casper was ready to do anything. He had nothing to do with the Owen family, so he will have to stop Gianna so he agreed, "Alright."
It took five revisions of the letter to satisfy Anya. Then the couple signed it and Anya permitted them to let them go.
She was leaving the station with Alvin when her eyes fell on a man who had dark hair and brown eyes. Alvin, who took two steps, had to stop seeing her pause in front of Gabriel Sallow.
Anya looked at the man carefully. He randomly reminded her of the man who pretended to kill Alvin to scare her away. The man who video called her. His eyes, his thick brows, and dark hair… It matched so perfectly with the man in her mories. But she wasn't cent percent sure as it had been a long ti.
Gabriel frowned when sobody blocked him until he realized she was the woman with Alvin, so Anya Owen. He was stunned. When the last ti he saw her, she wasn't chubby but shapeless, injured with many bruises on her body. Now she looked tempting in her black boots, ripped jeans, and an off-shoulder top.
Seeing her gray eyes on his face, he smirked as he glanced at Alvin who tugged her hand but Anya didn't move. She stood as if srized by his looks. He lifted his hand to touch her bare shoulder but he bawled.
"Ahhhhh….."
Anya snapped out of her daze and saw Alvin who dislocated the man's arm. Clueless about what just happened, she looked at Alvin who dusted his hands, restraining himself from kicking the man.
Alvin cupped her face and calmly asked, completely contrasting to how he reacted just a second ago, "What's wrong?" His retrained, deep voice sounded.
Anya looked at the bulging nerves on his forehead and his eyes chilly, yet he was holding her as she would break at his touch. "Who is he?"
"Gabriel Sallow."
Anya's expression turned cold recalling Gabriel Sallow is the man stopping Angela's adoption. She glanced at the wailing man and revealed to Alvin, "I think he is the one who video called ." She quickly added, "I am not certain."
Alvin understood why she was zoned out. "Afraid?"
Anya shook her head, she didn't fear like she did when Flora appeared at the villa. Rather, she wanted to confirm if Gabriel was the sa person so that she could teach him a lesson.
She took a step and wrapped her hands around his waist. "Wait for to confirm." She didn't want them to hurt the random man.
Alvin embraced the little fra and cald down. For a mont he tensed up, thinking she would flinch away due to his strong reaction.
How could he standstill when that man was trying to touch her with foul thoughts?
