His Devious Rule

Anya clenched her fist and looked at Casper who was smirking at her. Sometimes she used to think how Alvin could be so ruthless with his family. Looking at Casper's move on Alvin, Anya felt like Alvin was going easy on Casper. Alvin just wanted to teach them a lesson. Destroying them wasn't his aim due to Liam.

But how could she just watch Casper planning to ruin Alvin's hard work over years and his whole career?

She felt powerless without much idea about business. She felt hopeless just like the day when she had to choose between her life and Alvin. For Alvin's well-being, she will have to sacrifice her career and lose her once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. She will have to watch Zane and her parents be disappointed in her.

The officer who had picked her up from the entrance snatched the paper from Casper's hand. He went through the content as ugly frowns appeared on his face. Considering Casper's words and Anya's reaction, he easily interpreted that Casper was pressuring Anya. That was exactly the reason he didn't want Anya to meet Casper.

He warned Casper, "Chairman Matthews, I will be reporting your actions."

Well, Casper ignored the warning. He didn't ask Anya to meet him first but knew she would meet him. He will just reason his way out or Anya will take all the blame.

The officer furrowed at Casper's reaction and turned to Anya. "Officer Owen, don't be influenced." She was an ex-officer, and he hoped she would cooperate with them and speak the truth.

'Officer Owen,' was like an alarm to her ears. The moment of weakness vanished just like it appeared.

In the past, she had to choose between her and Alvin's life. She was naive and scared. Now, she wasn't going to idiotically sacrifice her hard work or career. That doesn't mean she would let Casper ruin Alvin's business.

By whatever she read on the papers, Alvin's shares were invalidated for buying in large sums and entering the top five shareholders. So she analyzed there will be a clause or a rule which states the board members have to accept and sign on approval paper.

What if she had no knowledge about business, she can use her common sense. Her lips arced watching Casper. She wasn't certain if Casper was trying to scare her or if it was true. But she wasn't going to let Casper play in their life again.

Worse comes to worst, she will ask Alvin to file bankruptcy and just be her husband.

​ Casper's lips started twitching looking at Anya's smile that carried coldness. Six years ago, Gianna had managed to scare her away by taking Alvin's life. Losing the whole business empire is no different from losing his life, so he expected her to give in.

Anya first responded to the officer, "It's alright, these petty tricks don't work on me."

Then she turned to Casper and sighed. "Chairman Matthews, I have grown up. You are senile."

Casper gritted his teeth hearing her. He didn't have any weaknesses in old age. He was fit and fine. "Anya Owen." He hissed through his teeth.

Anya softly shrugged her shoulders without getting affected by Casper's oppression. She took a step closer as her face turned colder than the ice, "I'm here to answer some questions. You will be here till the raid ends. How long would it take my husband to get a few signatures?"

It was Casper's turn to be in disbelief when he realized his plan backfired. Alvin would easily squander some money on shareholders and get the signature with an old date. And Anya was smart to deduce everything and compose.

Anya, who took a step to leave, paused and stepped back. "Alvin sent a gift for you, Chairman Matthews." Well, Alvin hadn't sent anything but the result of his decision was the gift to Casper.

Her voice was calm and sweet but there was no sweetness but alarming mysteriousness. Casper didn't show his anxiousness wondering if Alvin had everything under control.

Anya removed an envelope from her overcoat and handed it to the officer. "If you deem fit to show this to Chairman Matthews, please do the honors. I will meet the chief myself." Her tone was distant, and so was her expression.

Without taking even another glance at Casper, she turned her heels and went to the elevator for the interrogation. She was confident in Alvin that he wouldn't make such a mistake while investing billions of money. Nevertheless, there was a hint of fear that made her heart shudder. Alvin was a human, after all, he or his team might have missed noticing the clauses.

However, she was certain that she made the right decision. Her sacrifice wasn't required for Alvin to keep his business safe. He was intelligent and craftier than her.

While she went to the finance department, Casper just snatched the envelope from the officer's hand. He tore the envelope, having no patience. Fishing the papers, he read the result of the court decision after the first trial. His eyes widened looking at Gianna was mentioned as the stepmother of Alvin and Gianna was imprisoned for further investigation.

He quickly checked another paper to see the copy of a trending blog and social media post. Casper Matthews's scandalous affair. Dirty secrets of Matthews family.

Janet was more possessive about her career than her son. Casper was just threatening and using Janet's fear in his favor. He had no plans to reveal it.

Why will he shame his own family and himself?

He was wrong there for using it which backfired him. He had never thought Alvin would release such news without concern about the labels as a bastard, an illegitimate son of the Matthews family.

He suddenly discerned his company as completely shut, he couldn't ask his subsidiary company for PR as he had no mobile. He read the caption and headlines realizing Skylar's PR was working in Alvin's favor.

"Ahh..." He grunted in annoyance as he tore the papers in his hand. Whatever he had thought to use against Alvin all backfired.

Anya confidently ignored his threat. Janet failed to convince Alvin who was pissed off. He never expected Alvin to release information about his birth; it was all over the news. He was powerless and helpless, having nothing under his control.

Little did he know, it was just the beginning. Alvin was preparing to make him regret, hurt his pride and trample over his ego.
