His Devious Rule

Sitting in front of the captain of the police agency, Anya and Alvin could guess the captain was judging her.

They were right. The captain was reckoning her because of her influence. The pressure he was getting from all the sides was too influential yet he couldn't side with Casper but consider her.

"Ms. Owen, recently you have lodged a complaint that your parent's place was ransacked by strange people. Thus you asked for protection. In this regard, our cops are diligently working but never found any suspicious person around your house, except for yesterday."

Alvin crossed his legs and sat at ease. The captain was stressing out his work for Anya. Was it to gain her recognition or help Casper? It won't be a mystery for a long time.

Captain paused when he met Alvin's cold gaze. Peeling his eyes away, he looked at the young woman. She should be easy to deal with, shouldn't she?

He awkwardly smiled as he continued, "Mrs. Gianna Sallow Matthews and Mr. Gabriel Sallow arrived at your parents' place yesterday to meet them. We have stopped them according to your instructions. Then I got to know you are all a family."

Anya plainly cut him off, "We aren't."

Captain froze for a moment. He recalled Casper's words and turned to Alvin. "Sir, you are… Alvin Matthews. Am I right?"

Alvin discerned Casper was planning to solve this case as a family. And the Captain was focusing on solving the problem without offending both parties. He grunted, "Come to the point."

Captain silently gasped at the sharp tone. It felt like Alvin slapped him in the face. "A family will have numerous problems. I suggest you solve it personally. Considering the name and fame of the Matthew family, it won't be good for any one of you." Then he silently breathed a sigh of relief.

Anya watched the expectant gaze of the cop. She could understand he was thinking of them as a family with small disputes but who is going to tell him Gianna was a vicious snake?

"A family? Captain Will, if they were my family, wouldn't my parents know them?" Anya threw her first question.

Captain: "..."

"If they were my family, why would have Mrs. Matthews lied to the cops?" Anya shot her next one. She had already received the update that Gianna lied to meet her parents.

Captain tried to speak but the voice didn't come, He cleared his throat and said, "Mrs. Matthews said you aren't letting her see her grandson."

Alvin: "..."

He couldn't quite put his finger on Gianna's intention to say Zane was her grandson. He turned to Anya.

Anya didn't flinch. Gianna was in no way related to Alvin. If she had looked after Alvin like a mother, Anya would have definitely respected and treated Gianna as her mother-in-law. and Zane would have called her grandmother. But the situation is different.

"Bring her. Let me hear it with my own ears. If she repeats, I will take the case back." That was what Captain wanted.

Alvin found confidence in her, without a hint of hesitation. However, he couldn't help but think what if it wasn't Flora but Anya on that night. Little did he know, it was Anya on that night.

Captain contemplated before nodding. He picked the intercom when Anya added, "Please have more audience, invite Casper Matthews inside."

Alvin: "..."

What is his Little Donut planning? She was becoming more and more mystic.

The captain didn't find it unreasonable as she said she will take the case back.

After a minute,

Anya and Alvin didn't bother to get up from their seats while the captain was on his feet without his awareness.

Anya mocked Gianna, who was standing on Alvin's side, "Madam Matthews, I didn't know you have a problem hearing and understanding the words I said last time."

Gianna gritted her teeth recalling, 'Wait for me or hide from me,' threat from Anya. She had glaring dark circles, she looked never so unkempt as she was in front of them. However, her arrogance hadn't changed.

Anya came to the point, "I heard from Captain Will that you said I am not letting you meet your grandson." She stated and asked in confusion, "I am sorry but I would like to confirm, did you mean my baby, Zane is your grandson?"

Gianna's eyes widened as big as saucers. If Casper wasn't in the room, she would have responded with the truth. But Casper was right there. The second he gets to know about the truth, their son, Liam, and Liam's daughter will mean nothing to Casper or Casper's parents. They wouldn't mind begging Alvin to return to the family, just for Anya's baby.

She was shocked, at the same time, feared for the reveal of the truth. But it wasn't a secret. Anya could reveal it any time. So could she hide it for a long time?

Should she tell the truth?

Even Casper looked at Gianna in shock. His thoughts ran wild recalling the confident, fearless young boy he had seen in the hotel. He glanced at Alvin and became strangely hopeful. He didn't show it on his face and questioned Gianna, "Gianna is that true?"

Captain: "..."

He was understanding nothing. Didn't they call themselves family? Why doesn't Casper knows about his grandson?

Gianna's lips trembled. If she goes back on her words, the cops would think she made up a lot of lies. If she tells the truth, her years of efforts to keep the bastard away will go in vain.

"Gianna" Infuriated Casper snapped at the woman who was staring at Anya.

Frightened, "Yes." Gianna blurted out.

Anya clenched her teeth and Alvin turned to Anya. Casper spaced out with his mind flooded with numerous thoughts.

Gianna stammered as she quickly added, "If bast- Alvin married Anya, her son will be his son. Their son will be our grandson." She smoothly came up with a solution. She couldn't hide about Zane for longer. So she wanted to hide it as long as possible. In the meantime, she will try to put an end to the Bastards chapter.

Casper's lips twitched uncontrollably. When he brought Alvin home, why didn't she say the same thing, My husband's son is my son. He knew she was just coming up with excuses to evade the police.

Alvin was irritated hearing Gianna use Zane's name in her accordance. "Casper Matthews, your wife has lost her mind." Alvin gritted his teeth without seeing Anya breathing in relief.

She has to quickly convince her son and speak about it with Alvin. She didn't want Casper or the Matthews family to know about it. As soon as Alvin gets to know, it will be good for all.

The captain was confused more than ever, understanding nothing from their words. At Least he realized one thing, the Matthews men were brutal.

"Never mind. Logan…" Anya called her classmate who brought Gianna inside. "I am sure you heard what Chairman Matthews said to me a few minutes ago. Could you elaborate it to the captain?"

Logan awkwardly responded, "Err. Captain, Chairman Matthews threatened Anya with the media. He said if the media gets an air of this incident, he will lose nothing but Anya. How could common people like us handle such media?" He shrugged with a sigh.

Anya thanked the man before turning to the captain, "So, which family are you talking about, Captain Will?"

Captain felt like they were putting their hands into his head and squeezing his brain. He sat down and breathed out loudly, "Ms. Owen, please tell us how you are planning to handle this?" He felt like a fool for not asking that question at first.

"Well..." Anya trailed her words as she leaned back on the chair, "It depends." Anya mused.

Captain wanted to cough up a mouthful of blood. He expected Anya to be simple as she was from the same town. Who knew she was craftier than everyone out there?

Alvin placed his elbow on the armrest of the chair and rested his head on his fist. He admired his Little Donut, debating if he liked his Chubby Cute Goofball more or the Foxy Tempting Kitten.
