His Devious Rule

Alvin hadn't bothered to check about Casper and Gianna other than knowing Casper will have to go to the Coastal city. So Alvin had no idea they were in the hotel.

Alvin chose the hotel because it had a good restaurant and was near to Johnson's communication center where Anya was at.

He didn't mind the unexpected coincidence either as he anyway wanted the couple to know he was with Anya. They wouldn't dare to pull random stunts on her. However, Zane hadn't planned to include Zane in his plan.

He asked back without responding to her question, "Afraid of them?" His voice lowered in concern.

The fear of 'being with him would endanger him' was too strong in her. It was very important for her to trust him and herself to get rid of the fear.

Anya discerned it was an unexpected event. Anyway, she didn't hide her worry, "I didn't want them to see Zane so soon." More than Casper, Gianna was dangerous to them. Her hatred towards Casper was vented on Alvin, and the people he cared about. So she would definitely pick on Zane.

Without knowing Zane was his son, Alvin thought she must be worried thinking those two might hurt Zane.

He brushed her hair using his left hand and tried to relax her, "Rob will be here, he will take care of Zane when you are at work. Call him if you need anything. I will send his number to you."

With Casper and Gianna in the city, he wasn't ready to leave her completely alone. Although he was worried about her, she wasn't one to be underestimated. She might weaken due to some circumstances but there would be nobody brave than her when the situation demands.

So keeping the little brat safe and supporting her needs were his priority.

Anya wanted to decline as Rob was like Alvin's secretary who did all the miscellaneous work for him. Anyway, taking Zane to the police agency in the current situation didn't feel appropriate either. So she didn't retort.

She held up her fist and swore in determination, "I will avenge them for you." She forgot that she was also a victim of Casper and Gianna's autocracy.

Alvin saw the small cute pout of his Fierce Kitten and broke into a throaty chuckle. His kind Little Donut was thinking of hurting someone for him.

She wasn't kidding. "I am serious." It made him laugh heartily, rubbing her head.

Anya: 🤨

"Aren't you late to work? Let's go." He tugged her out and Zane led them, holding her wallet.

Getting into his car, "By the way, why did she follow her husband?" She didn't mention Casper and Gianna's names due to Zane sitting on the shotgun seat with Alvin's iPad to play games.

They need to face the two sooner or later. So Alvin obliged the lady. He pulled the privacy shield and briefed her about Gianna and Casper's relationship while on the way to Johnson center.

Anya got a rough idea before she was dropped to the Johnson center.

Anya wrapped up work quickly while Captain David managed at the harbor by shifting the bodies for postpartum. Both the teams reached the police agency together.

—————

At the police agency,

While entering the police agency, Captain David reported to her about the situation and updated her about the new task she had assigned, "Officer Owen, we got the information that Mr. Benton provoked the political party supporters to block the harbor." Apparently, Benton didn't want the bodies to be sent for postpartum,

David was impressed that Anya was able to judge the situation so clearly while everyone thought it was just a political stunt to grab media coverage.

David added, "It seems you are accurate. Mr. Benton really has a hand in these murders." But they don't have any proof.

"Good job." The team she had chosen didn't disappoint her. They were keeping up with her speed and following her instructions without hard feelings or complaints. They were helping her solve the cases quickly.

"I will go through the footage again." There should be one loophole that could solve the murder cases. "Please cross-question the friends of those three." A few more people were summoned for interrogation.

Captain David looked at Casper, Gianna, and his secretary in the waiting room. "Officer Owen, what about them?"

Anya showed a blind eye to the three who were looking at her. She walked by nonchalantly as she asked David, "Do you know what time they came to the police agency?"

David couldn't understand her intention behind the question.

Anya answered her question, "Just right before me."

David was a smart man. He deduced the meaning behind her words, "They were keeping an eye on you." He was right.

Anya wasn't sure what Casper was planning. She had noticed a car parked, not so far from the Johnson center. Then the same car followed her all the way to the police agency. She was cent percent sure it wasn't Harper so it has to be Casper.

While walking towards the main door of the police agency, she brushed her finger on the bonnet of the car where Casper's PA aka Gianna's lackey was standing. The bonnet was too hot as if the engine stopped just a few seconds earlier.

Both entered her office room. Anya hung her jacket on the stand and glanced at David as she went to the desk that had loads of files.

Following an on-duty cop or officer is unacceptable. Considering Anya's daring personality, David suggested, "Officer Owen, we should focus on more important tasks." He meant to say, let's ignore the Matthews and make them take another trip to the police agency again.

Anya's plan was the same. She wouldn't push away all other work and attend to Casper just because he was a high-profile businessman.

Were they trying to be smart with her? She will feed them the same medicine.

She gave an 'Okay' hand signal to David as she immersed herself in the statements of the culprits.

—————

Casper and Gianna stepped into the police agency for the first time in their life. Casper had assumed Anya would play some petty tricks and try to ruin their image. So instead of waiting in the police agency all day, getting photographed and leaked to the media, he thought about going at the end of the day so that he could leave sooner.

However, his plan had to change when he saw her with Alvin because he couldn't excuse himself as he came late to the city due to emergency work at the company.

His men followed Anya and updated Casper that she went to Johnson center. So they left the hotel when Anya went towards the police agency.

Little did he know, he offended her and David by following her.

Gianna and Casper were sitting elegantly while Harrison was standing beside Casper. Their posture and air around them naturally garnered more and more attention.

At the same time, they three watched the cops taking other people for questioning and sending them back. They also noticed Anya going to different rooms holding a file or two, then some cops would follow her around before they dispersed to their respective works.

Likewise, they waited for more than an hour but nobody attended to them. Making them furious with each passing minute.

People wait for weeks and months to schedule an appointment with them and here they are waiting for a person to attend them.

How could they endure the shame? Their composure began to waver, slowly. The mask of calmness was peeling down, revealing their annoyance.

Secretary Harrison stopped a cop, "Excuse me, we are here due to a summon warrant." He held the warrant to show to the cop.

The cop had been updated about the plan by David. So he glanced at Casper and Gianna before responding, "Wait." Then he left.

Gianna gritted her teeth, cursing Anya. Casper was angered but he was still holding his composure. He was expecting something like this to happen.

Secretary Harrison tried to ask another cop and then Captain David was passing by, "Captain, what is the meaning of your action? Chairman Matthews is a busy person, we are waiting for a long time." The Secretary was also irked at the behavior of cops, hence his voice raised a bit, demanding a response.

"So!?" A sarcastic remark slipped David's lips. "Can't you see that we are also busy here?" It was the truth, he wasn't even getting time to sip water, he was mentally exhausted trying to find clues and lies in the responses while questioning.

Gianna controlled herself while Casper glared at the cop. He knew this attitude doesn't belong to a cop but to the woman leading the case.

'The audacity of that woman…' He couldn't believe she was the same innocent, simple, clueless girl five years ago.

Secretary Harrison rebuffed the Captain without making way for him, "If you are busy, why are you wasting our time?"

David almost rolled his eyes. Following an on-duty officer was also punishable, however it will only result in a warning as they didn't attack Anya. So making them wait felt like a perfect punishment, without wasting their time.

David suddenly became the most loyal servant of the nation, "Secretary Harrison, we follow First come first serve. We don't have Last come first serve." He simply indicated that they came just an hour ago.

Then his voice sharpened seeing the secretary block the path boldly. He was bolder than Harper's secretary. "If you don't want me to add another charge against you, be quiet and sit."

Secretary Harrison was evidently irked because it was the first time they were being treated that way. "You-..."

David, who passed by Harrison, took a pause and turned to them, "Only one person is summoned, why are you two crowding here?" He scowled.

He looked at the passing junior cop, "Peter, send these two out." He was ruthlessly chasing out the other two.
