His Devious Rule

Focusing on the media and avoiding the negative publicity due to Skylark, Casper utterly failed to notice what Anya and Alvin were up to. Just because it was the first event of Skylark and Majestic clubhouse doesn't mean Alvin will be so busy.

He was not happy to hear Gianna tried to kidnap Zane. His hand was itching to slap her tight on her face. He was in the business for decades. He had seen many rivals, got numerous threats, and handled a lot of people. He never used illegal means.

And his wife, a well-educated, head of an educational institute chose to kidnap a little boy when his parents were out. She ruined her reputation. He didn't need proof to say what Gianna was going to do with Zane.

He glared at Flora. He knew Flora was a self-obsessed, notorious socialite in the circle. Yet, he agreed to have her as daughter-in-law because of the business deal and the chances of acquiring the Dalton company by spending nothing on it.

Probably he should have thought of the worst-case scenario before having the business deal. Then she wouldn't have got the chance to rip them n.a.k.e.d in front of the whole business circle.

Or he should have let Alvin and Anya have their way. Nothing would have happened like this.

Flora wasn't done yet. Her suppressed irritation, ridicule of the people who were below her and insults came out like explosive anger on the Matthews couple.

"Hey Anya Owen," Flora snapped at Anya and pointed at herself, "You almost drowned me for trying to kill your son." Then she pointed at Gianna as she demanded, "How could you let her go?" She thought Casper was taking Gianna away.

Flora wanted to grab Gianna's hair but she held back. She was warned by the court that if there was even the smallest charge against her, she would be imprisoned, so she was holding herself back.

"She told me Alvin was with you for your son. I could still get him." In anger, she almost reached for Gianna, but one of the security men pulled her back.

Anya wasn't used to so much drama. For her, everything was precise. Find the evidence, catch the criminal, and kick him inside the cell.

So many people, their reaction and the never-ending revelation of the Mathews dirt were a bit of a headache. Alvin was right, they should have rather gone home.

Anya glanced at Gianna and Casper. Gianna was desperate but she was trying her best to manage her image so that when she came out of prison, she could make up another story.

Casper was infuriated. His fingers were digging into Gianna's arm making her flinch. However, he was in a much better state than she expected.

She responded to Flora, "Flora Dalton, she isn't going to be as lucky as you." She had ignored Flora who could do nothing to them anymore. She was like an ant who could be squashed anytime. However, Gianna wasn't going to be lucky enough to walk out of the prison.

The struggles, fear, tears, and sleepless nights were still clear in Anya's mind as if it was yesterday. Even if she tried to forget everything and move on, how could she forget her baby crying every time they changed their homes and her desperation to keep her baby warm on a snowy night? She wouldn't forgive anybody who brings fear to Zane's eyes.

Flora narrowed her eyes at Anya and looked at Alvin whose eyes were still on Anya while gently rubbing Anya's arm. Flora snickered, she had no idea Alvin was so humane.

Flora no longer belonged to this socialite circle. She will only be ridiculed if she tries to force herself in there. Thus she turned around and walked away.

….

The cops were glad these rich people's drama ended. Captain Joseph hadn't expected Officer Anya to be married to one of the richest men.

Anyway, he spoke addressing Anya and Alvin, "Mr. and Mrs. Matthews, we will proceed taking actions. You two will have to visit the station tomorrow to give your statements."

Cordelia instinctively breathed in relief as they didn't speak anything about her. Forget Zane, she just wanted to live her remaining years peacefully, somewhere far away.

Alvin barely nodded at the cops and supported his wife who leaned on him. "Little Donut!?" He looked at her face which was kind of sad and in deep thoughts.

Anya glanced at Alvin and asked, "Why is Casper Matthews so calm? And Gianna Sallow isn't broken as much as I expected her to be."

Those were like leeches on skin. Pulling it away from the skin would hurt us. They need to be careful while getting rid of them before they try to suck their blood.

Alvin looked at Casper who let go of Gianna and the lady cops pointed to the door for Gianna to move, respectfully without the handcuffs.

Alvin made a guess, "I think, Casper Matthews gave up on keeping anything secret." After all, maintaining secrets is draining physically and mentally. Other than that, it could be used against him.

Anya hissed through her teeth and asked, "Nothing of this will affect his company. Will it?" She didn't know much about business but Casper cared a lot about his business.

Alvin tightened his arms around her. Thinking of her words, he partly agreed with her. "It will affect, but not enough." The Matthews Industries was a huge empire. And the businessmen or women cared about profit at the end of the day.

If none of these were enough to hurt the pride of the man, what will Casper do? "So will Casper surrender or fight us back?" Casper's silence and composure weren't giving her a good feeling.

Alvin knew Casper won't give up so easily. Accepting defeat would hurt his ego. They played till now, and now Casper will lay the ground for his game. Well, Alvin was ready to face whatever it was.

"There is another one to detain." A voice came from the door. Rick dragged a man and threw him to the floor causing the lady cops and Gianna to halt.

Rick reported to Alvin, "President Matthews, this man was reporting Gianna Matthews wherever you were going in the clubhouse with Little Master."

Gianna flustered and almost blurted out but she shut her lips and glanced at Casper. Flora went down, taking Gianna down. Gianna threatened Casper by taking Cordelia's actions when everyone was busy listening to Flora.

Casper gritted his teeth. He needed time to send his mother out of the country. That's the least he could do for his mother before focusing on how to deal with the company and Gianna's case.

Captain Joseph who heard Rick removed his handkerchief from his pocket as he approached Gianna. He snatched the clutch and found the mobile in her purse.

Casper clenched his jaws and maintained his composure. He had taken her mobile and removed the telephone connections of the mansion. He was an edition to let so many servants have the mobile.

Captain Joseph clicked on some buttons and checked the 15-digit unique IMEI number of the mobile. "This is the mobile used to instruct. The maid's mobile."

Anya nodded. Gianna was a fool. The technology might have grown to the height that crime looks easier to make. But with the same technology, they could find the culprit easily too.

Those words were like a blow to the people who were still pinning their hopes on Gianna. The latter lowered her gaze and confidently walked out with the cops. She was certain she would be out of the detainment very soon if Casper didn't want his mother at this age to be behind the bars.
