His Devious Rule

Alvin was crossing his legs and watching the shareholders who were edgy yet reluctant to support him without knowing what he was up to.

Alvin wasn't going to reveal his plan. If it falls on Casper's ear, Casper could go to any extent. Alvin wouldn't take the risk when Anya and Zane were in the hospital.

Without Casper in the meeting, Alvin could have managed without the majority support of the shareholders. However, he just didn't want to leave a loophole.

They had done their research on the shareholders of the Matthews Industries as soon as Alvin started to buy the shares and plotted the plan. He slowed down due to Anya's mission and her plan for the Dean position. Then Liam put up a request so Alvin changed the plan.

Now that Alvin failed to get the Dean position for Anya and Liam turned out to be an emotional fool, their research came in handy.

Rob had particularly chosen a group of shareholders who had a dirty secret they were afraid to leak. Or an unlawful act they were desperate to hide.

Alvin's presence in front of shareholders was just to keep them down while Rob was dwindling the confidence of the shareholders and making those shareholders shake on the chairs.

Alvin was spinning his mobile on the tip of his forefinger. Half of the attention was on the people in the meeting room while he waited for Anya to drop him a message or just make a call.

Half an hour had passed after his call to Anya when his mobile beeped. He read the message, [Watch and rate my skills.]

Reopening the link to watch the live video, Alvin leisurely wore the AirPods and started watching.

In the hospital, Casper was pretending to be waking up when the butler tried to wake him up. Liam was silently standing and avoiding even taking a look at Casper.

Liam might become a good businessman but the business doesn't need a good man. Frankly, Alvin would never choose a man like Liam for his company. He would prefer a trustworthy criminal-minded person to tackle every kind of opponent.

Alvin's eyes halted at Secretary Harrison who entered the room. The sleepless eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses were hard to ignore. Yet, Harrison was there as if he didn't have to rest.

It might be the parent-teacher meeting or some chaos caused by Alvin or because of him, it was always Harrison who went to school.

Never once, Alvin saw a frown or displeasure from Harrison. Each time Harrison had taken his side, flashed him an assuring smile.

Well, Alvin did respect Harrison for that but Harrison wasn't the person he hoped to see every time in school.

According to Alvin, Casper wouldn't have achieved what he has without Harrison. Harrison handled the Matthews family mess and flawlessly did his job at the company.

Alvin seriously wondered if Harrison had any idea about Casper hiring shooters. Alvin wasn't sure about Harrison's involvement.

All his thoughts brushed off when Anya stormed inside the ward. The butler paled, Casper clenched his teeth at the sight of Anya, and Harrison was a bit shocked by unruly Anya Owen.

Displeasure was all over her face. She demanded a response from Harrison, pointing to her hand at Casper, [For heaven's sake, are you trying to kill him?]

Harrison: "..."

She turned to Liam and reprimanded him, [Mr. Matthews, didn't you hear the doctor say the patient shouldn't be stressed? He will have another heart attack. How could you let him work?]

Liam blankly looked at her and Anya didn't care. She snatched a file from Harrison, pulled the papers out, tore them apart, and threw it. The papers flew in the air when Anya continued, [If I see anybody coming in the way of his recovery, I won't spare them.]

Casper's eyes were wide as saucers looking at torn papers. He didn't get to utter anything. His little success that was within his reach became a dream in a split second.

Harrison was in shock due to Anya's behavior. That wasn't Anya. Even if Anya worries about Casper, Anya will calmly handle them. Unlike throwing her temper.

The butler's jaws dropped looking at the emancipation paper in pieces. Will he have to serve Alvin and Anya from the next day? His eyes slowly went over Anya.

Liam was disinterested in whatever was happening. He seemed to know what Anya was doing. And his expression was complex. Undoubtedly the truth was a hard blow to him. One of the cons of being a good man is.

Alvin was a bit surprised by her easiest approach to tearing off the emancipation paper. He had expected her to use her minions to get rid of the papers when Harrison would be on the way.

Alvin went back to the chat screen and sent a message, [Score: 1 out of 10. Remarks: Over-acting.] But working side by side with his wife had a different kind of satisfaction.

'Thud,' The shareholders silently gasped when Alvin roughly placed his mobile on the desk.

Alvin's eyes dangerously panned over the shareholders, making them uneasily shift on their chairs, swallow hard or avoid his eyes boring a hole through their heads.

"The door is right there to exit." Alvin challenged the shareholders to leave. If one faces a problem, the rest will meekly follow him.

After a long silence and uneasy breathing of shareholders, Rob added, "We can assure you that your money on the Matthews Industries will be safe." Alvin had more money in the company than them. How could they risk losing it?

But how could Shareholders be assured in words when it was their hundreds of millions or billions worth of money? They would rather face the consequences of their actions instead of risk so much money.

….

Meanwhile at the hospital,

Casper was breathing heavily. His anger was making him ignore the reason behind his actions. He wanted to get off the bed and slap the annoying woman.

Doctor Stewart rushed inside the ward. He looked shocked and inquired them, "What is going on here?" He sounded grave.

His acting skills were top-notch compared to Anya's. So Harrison didn't find anything odd with the doctor.

Stewart insisted to them, "The patient needs bed rest." He had to threaten them as a doctor who was worried about his patient, "If this continues, we will have to shift the patient to ICU and won't allow visitors." He pointed to the door and directed them with frowns, "Leave."

Harrison glanced at Casper and considered leaving the hospital. Liam didn't want to see his father so he walked out. The butler assumed it was an act to send Anya away.

Unfortunately, neither Casper nor the butler knew Anya had taken control of the game Casper started.

Anya was extremely serious when she put up the suggestion, "Doctor Stewart, the secretaries, and the son won't stop hounding the Chairman for company work."

Harrison: "..."

Anya ignored Casper's reaction. She continued, "Chairman Matthews has to get well soon." Casper was probably linking her actions to the explosion in country A. It doesn't matter to her.

Casper: "..."

Casper's eyes were slightly widened. The men he hired were captured and the case was reopened in country A. As per his doctor and the lawyers, he has to be gravely ill to escape the punishment.

If Anya was trying to get him out of the hospital so soon, she was waiting to proceed with legal proceedings. He won't let that happen. He buried his emotions and sat silently.
