His Devious Rule

Chapter 411 Consequences

Janet got her hopes up when she heard her manager that she would take care of Alvin's side. Nevertheless, her dream bubble burst right after her manager's next words.

Unaware of Janet's expectations, Claire gave heads-up as she exited the bedroom, "Janet prepare yourself. YOU will be going to reveal about your first son."

News leaking in any other way would severely damage Janet's reputation. So it has to be Janet speaking about it first.

Janet will have to play a character of a remorseful mother to gain the sympathy of netizens. Claire even planned out Janet's speech to earn compassion rather than curses.

Janet's eyes widened in disbelief as soon as Claire's words registered in her mind. She realized her manager misunderstood the whole thing. She frantically stood up and ran out of the bedroom.

Alvin might have said the media and netizens will dig her truth out but Alvin planned for her to accept her truth.

Why was her manager playing on Alvin's terms?

"What the hell are you talking about?" Janet freaked out as soon as her eyes fell on her manager's back, "I'm not going to reveal anything." She bluntly stated it without noticing her husband downstairs.

Claire furrowed when she heard Janet's voice and turned around to face Janet who was shouting like a crazy woman in the penthouse.

Janet voiced her reason for asking her manager to meet Anya Owen. "Ask Alvin to stop playing in my life." She wasn't ready to stain her image. Alvin was never in her life and she didn't want him. She was better off without him.

Claire's expression was dark when Janet again started from zero reluctant to accept her first son publicly. She had never seen a hideous woman as Janet.

'Playing in her life?' Honestly, Claire wanted to sneer at Janet's face. If Janet hadn't gone to meet Casper in the hopes of impressing him for new movies, this day wouldn't have come.

And Alvin wasn't playing in Janet's life, she just stepped on his nerves by asking him to withdraw the case. Janet was reaping what she sowed. If Claire was in Alvin's face, she might have beaten Janet.

Losing her patience, having no time and mood to coax Janet, Claire strode to Janet with a grim face.

When a biological mother couldn't accept her illegitimate son, how could a stepmother accept him?

If Janet had been emotionally imbalanced after the threat, she would have helped Janet to recover. But Janet was fixed on never recognizing her son.

Undoubtedly there will be a setback after revealing the truth. Considering Alvin's growing fame, and Anya's special identity, with Alvin and the Collins family's support, they could have tried to stand back in the same glory.

Claire didn't believe there could be a better way to redeem Janet. Facing Janet who stubbornly stared at her, Claire stressed her words. "Janet, come to your senses."

Claire gave her a reality check, "The company isn't yours. You will have to do as management decides." She was going to talk to them as it was big news.

Janet: "..."

Claire watched Janet's face pale at her words. She discerned Janet expected her to solve everything secretly without informing anybody about her hidden truth. But this was news that could destroy Janet's career if they don't act quickly. So she has to report to the company.

Claire took steps to leave but returned to stand in front of Janet. Janet had a big misconception that Alvin was disrupting her life hence there was no guilt in her for her actions. "Janet Collins, get this straight in your mind. You are seeing this day because of you." Nobody else.

If Alvin wasn't Janet's son, Gianna wouldn't have tried to kidnap Zane. Janet was equally responsible as Casper for everything happening around them.

Then Claire walked away ignoring Mr. Wilson. She could only hope Janet sees the reality and saves herself instead of foolishly refusing to accept her firstborn.

....

Mr. Wilson rushed to hold Janet who stumbled on her footing. He supported her as he rubbed her arm, watching her expression. He discerned the manager was asking her to release Alvin and Janet's relationship. He also wanted to ask Janet to reveal it. Even if Janet loses her face, he could take advantage of Alvin's identity.

Nevertheless, he knew Janet would refuse and also get angry at him. So he started wondering how he could trick her or make use of the situation to hype his production company.

He planned to make a deal with her entertainment company. And he needed time to think of a better plan. Till then, he chose to pretend like a supportive husband.

"Janet, I will speak with your company to resolve this without leaking. Don't stress out. Alright?" His doting voice sounded as he helped her get inside the bedroom.

Janet had lost all hope in her manager. She was going to grab any chance that could keep her unblemished image and reputation safe. Hence as soon as she heard her husband, she held on to his jacket and looked at him expectantly.

"Could you do that for me? Please. Or I will lose everything..." She started pleading and listing how the leaking of news would affect her and their family.

Mr. Wilson patiently listened to her but his focus was on planning to gain more advantage from Alvin and using Alvin's identity to get more investors.

After coaxing her, he took her company CEO's appointment in front of her and rushed out.

Forgetting her husband had tried to trick Alvin for money and used the Collins family to appear at the banquet, Janet put her all hopes in her husband and continued to browse the articles.

â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"

At Skylark,

Anya was cupping her face and watching her handsome husband seriously working. She found him charismatic but she sulked after a series of failures to find out why Alvin agreed to send her on the mission.

What was he planning?

Alvin did love the undivided attention of his wife who was sitting and admiring him. But how could he focus on work when her eyes weren't leaving him?

He closed the file when his treacherous mind was giving ideas to the body. He looked at his wife and beckoned her to get near him.

Anya squinted her eyes. Grumpy, she didn't want to go near him. She looked away pretending to be ignoring him.

Alvin tricked her, "Don't want to know?"  He wasn't going to tell her. Or else, she will change her plans or stop him from doing anything.

Then he pursed his lips watching her quickly go and stand next to him. With his one swift move, she settled on his lap with her jaws dropped.

Anya glanced at his smug smile and hissed, "You tricked me."

Alvin countered in a matter-of-fact tone. "You are seducing me."

Anya: "..."

She wasn't even making noise to avoid disturbing him. When did she seduce him? "You are daydreaming."

Alvin propped his brows before a wicked smile adorned his striking face. He will wait for her to start working and see how she would ignore him if he sits and watches her.

For now, he wouldn't be able to work calmly if he doesn't do anything to his Goofball. He had just moved his head, and knocking on the door made his wife jump back on her toes.

"Annie..." Krystle pushed the door and looked inside.

Alvin's face turned cold hearing the voice before the person appeared and his wife zoomed into the door. "Why didn't you call me?" Anya asked as she was waiting for Krystle to call her.

Anya was waving her hand at Alvin when Krystle pushed Anya out of the room and hurried her, "Girl, get the elevator."

Anya went towards the elevator wondering if the waiting time was so long for the general elevator to arrive on the top floor.

Well, Krystle went to the desk and demanded Alvin, "Credit card." She couldn't take the chance of Anya refusing her if she uses her card or sees Anya run away after seeing the price tag. Her husband was loaded so shouldn't he pay?

Alvin leaned back on the chair and looked at Loudmouth who was daring, having Anya as her backer. He didn't get offended. Instead, he took the card out and flipped it on the desk accurately knowing Krystle was going to shop for his wife.

Krystle was indeed surprised at how smoothly he tossed his black card without asking anything. Nevertheless, her lips gapped looking at Anya's name on it. "Bro, you have skills." She gave him thumbs up while wondering how Alvin got Anya's signature to get a card in her name.

She left the office planning to shop for sexy lingeries for Anya; forgetting Anya wasn't a nobody. Neither Alvin nor Anya considered the consequences.
