His Devious Rule

Chapter 500 Savior Or Opponent



Half awake, Anya's hand searched for Alvin without opening her eyes. Her hand reached nothing despite her efforts to reach the other end of the king-size bed.

She suddenly jolted up recalling Casper, his sick games, and Alvin who wasn't ready to share his burden with her. Getting off the bed, she went to look for Alvin in the study room but it was filled with darkness without a soul.

She stood there for some time wondering if Alvin went in search of Casper. Most likely to happen.

A long sigh slipped her lips. She wasn't allowed to put herself in danger but her husband doesn't mind luring the danger over himself.

Nevertheless, Anya was confident that she could get Alvin out of any trouble Casper might put Alvin in. However, there was lingering fear in her eyes in case Casper tried to kill a criminal. Casper was capable of it.

After handling high-profile criminals to local thugs in the past few years, Anya has learned that only the first kill psychologically affects the person. After the second and third kills, it turns into pleasure and they don't feel guilty. So she wouldn't be surprised if Casper tried to harm Alvin.

After losing her sleep, Anya chose to work on how Casper managed to get out of the hospital by killing four men. She headed to the basement under the ground floor and opened a door that had a 'The Queen's restricted Zone' sign hanging.

Her eyes brushed over the room filled with screens, and high-tech processors. It was heaven to the computer geeks and gamers. 

Alvin had started working on the room for Anya right after he learned about her job. He hadn't told her anything till Christmas. Right, it was the Christmas gift hence he wasn't able to get it for her to the Nest regency.

Although it needed some more upgrades for her level of expertise, it was enough for her to deal with their current situation. 

Anya got busy configuring her private lab as she worked from the very beginning of the explosion at the archaeological site. When Aarvi Evans' team helped her in country A, their focus was the culprit. Now her focus was digging out every piece of information that might be necessary to assess the situation.

At the Matthews mansion,

The blood was boiling in Casper's veins. Not just getting rid of Alvin from the Matthews family, he yearned to see Alvin in pain, and hopelessness and beg him to stop. But he couldn't understand what Alvin was playing.

Two days ago, Alvin wanted to get rid of him (Casper) from the company and make Liam the Vice Chairman or Chairman of the company.

Casper was against Linus entering the company. However, he favored Liam holding the powers as the Vice chairman or president and CEO of the company. He was ready to grant that win to Alvin so that he could attack Alvin, like a predator hunting its prey.

All plans crashed when Alvin played the reverse card and changed the whole game. The ones who were supposed to be in the top position just walked out.

What was in Alvin's mind?

Was he planning to sell his shares to foreign capitalists and invite them to take over the company?

It was just a threat to cause chaos in the board meeting, wasn't it?

Even if Alvin does sell his shares, he will be known as a terrible businessman and no one would dare to do business with him. Alvin will be affected, wouldn't he?

If not that plan, what Alvin might be planning?

With just Alvin's small move, Casper who was ready to attack went into defense mode. 

Upon that, Casper has to decide if he wants to drag Harrison and Liam back to the company or get new people to the position. 

If he goes to them, he would look like a man who is dependent on them. So Casper wasn't going to smear his pride. He could handle those two later so he was deciding to choose capable MEN for the position. There is no lack of talent.

Just then he heard 'Porter's Drama.' A phrase he had heard before. His sharp gaze fell on Ricardo and Rob. His thoughts ran as wild as Alvin using Ricardo as a pawn. Well, he was wrong.

Rob went to the kitchen and returned shortly with a row of maids behind him. When the Matthews family was falling off, the maids feared losing their job, hence they became easy targets to manipulate. 

Alvin shook his head in disapproval and corrected Rob, "Rob, most of the audience watches the show if they like the trailer or teaser of the drama." He mused lazily. He was in no hurry to watch the two older men who think of themselves as most experienced, clever, and authoritative, show their real faces to each other.

Rob glanced at the two older men who were pissed off by a few words from Alvin. Well, Alvin had a talent for that. Anyway, he shrugged, "It's a pity that The Porter's Drama isn't worth investing in a trailer or teaser."

Ricardo was incensed by the secretaries and assistants looking down on him again and again, "What the-"

A hard glare and a shush from the assistant, "Shh-" Ricardo swallowed the rest of his words.

Rob ignored the man the next second and turned around to face the maids who had their heads lowered. He toned his voice and spoke like a gentleman, "Chairman Matthews is offering a hefty compensation to the ones who helped Chairman Porter in the past month. Chairman Porter is also happy with your services. So step forward fearlessly."

Ricardo uneasily glanced at Casper and paled. He had lied to Casper as he was keeping an eye on Alvin's activities and found out Casper was in trouble. In reality, he was spying on Casper and just watching over the Nest Regency where Alvin stayed with his wife and son.

Casper couldn't believe somebody from his mansion was helping Ricardo. He smirked evilly as he stood up. "Definitely." He acknowledged Rob's words and added, "Double bonus if I get to know the details."

Rob's job was done. He joined Alvin to watch the show. Casper who asked sweetly at first terrorized the maids and threatened them to kill their families when a maid stepped ahead with tears trickling down her cheeks. 

She begged for mercy and revealed, "I- I was awarded handsomely for disclosing about everything I was hearing and seeing anything in the mansion." The maid was mainly responsible for cleaning the mansion.

Casper knew there were more hence Rob brought all of them. So he scowled at the group and saw two more women step forward. One works in the kitchen and serves food, she repeated what the first maid said. 

Whereas the third maid was shaking like a wittering leaf. She stuttered her confession in fear, "C-chair-Chairman Porter invited me to his suite on Christmas and g-gave me s-something to hide i-in the study." 

Casper who was thinking Ricardo just saved him could believe Ricardo held evidence against him. He kicked the maid who was begging him to forgive her.

Whereas Ricardo was pale as a sheet. He was looking forward to Casper and Alvin fighting but how did he end up standing at gunpoint?

An evil smile was carved on Rob and Alvin's faces. There was either a microphone or spy camera in Casper's study. The study room where Casper began his heart attack drama right after knowing the shooters were caught.
