His Devious Rule-Chapter 382 There’s No Escape

After dinner, Ean went to his home as his parents were still in shock and afraid that he would get hurt in the fight among the Matthews family.

Zane was exhausted after traveling and playing. So he wished for the night and went to bed with his mother next to him. Krystle waited until Zane fell asleep before she took Anya to her bedroom.

Linus stayed with Alvin when he sat with Liam. Although he believed Alvin wouldn't give in to Liam easily as the one who suffered the most from Gianna was Anya. Yet he sat in the living hall, pretending to be busy on his mobile.

Alvin heard Rob reporting that the post that had been prepared against Anya wasn't published. As per their sources, "Looks like Chairman Matthews' target shifted from Young Madam to you and Skylark." Because Casper wouldn't just sit and endure.

Liam wanted to get happy with the news but was disappointed by his father again. Instead of talking with Alvin and compromising with Alvin, his father found ways to pull his son down.

Alvin nodded wondering what made Casper open his eyes to reality. Since Casper wasn't going to cause more trouble for Anya, he was a bit relaxed. About the attack on his company, He couldn't believe Casper was daring to attack Skylark when he was holding a large number of shares. He could manipulate the company easily.

Alvin could attack the company however, he gave a choice to Liam, "Brother Liam, take over the company." Although Liam was a CEO, didn't have many powers over the company as Casper was controlling behind the scenes.

"Ask your father to retire if he doesn't want to see his hard work…" He snickered. Not just the company, his attack would ruin the whole Matthews family. He would only stop if Liam was on the seat.

Liam: "..."

He couldn't believe that Alvin stated as if their father would listen to him. If he were someone like Alvin or Casper, Casper would have probably retired a long back. But he wasn't.

He couldn't ignore people or don't think of the benefits for the employees. He doesn't reprimand the employees and makes them fear his appearance. That wasn't him.

"Why don't YOU take over the company?" Liam suggested. Since Skylark was still known, they could merge the companies and stabilize the operation of the company easily.

Linus and Rob: "..."

Alvin was aware Liam finds himself incapable as he was much more softhearted and compassionate, unlike them. But there was no hard and fast rule that a leader has to be cold. Liam might not grow the company more but he would protect it.

Most importantly, he had no interest in the Matthews Industries unless Casper gave him no choice. "I couldn't care less."

Liam sighed. He was aware that Alvin was never interested in the Matthews assets. Yet, Liam wanted to help Alvin get everything from the Matthews family so that he could ask Alvin to go easy on Gianna. He wished he could ask them to let go of Gianna, but it wouldn't be helpful.

"Alvin, why don't you meet dad and speak with him?" One has to give and speak to one another to find a solution to everything.

Alvin had indeed done that. If Casper had heard him and didn't trouble them, he wouldn't have taken any action against them.

"I will pretend you didn't ask that." Alvin sharply responded giving no way for negotiation.

Liam felt helpless. How could he just sit and see his mother being imprisoned? He gave another try by asking directly, "Is there no way to solve this?"

Liam flinched at his question. Frankly, if he was in Anya or Alvin's position with his baby daughter, he probably would have been the same or even worse when standing against Gianna. So what Anya and Alvin were going through was justified. At the same time, it was hard to accept that his mother was in prison.

Alvin was mute. Linus pitied Liam who couldn't watch his mother face the consequences or help his mother.

Rob responded when Liam's face fell and sighed deeply. "If Gianna Sallow pleads guilty tomorrow, she might be charged for a few years." Then they won't get a chance to trap Gianna under more charges.

Pleading guilty meant accepting that she did everything. Gianna would rather die than make herself a joke. She was too prideful for that.

Alvin glanced at Rob who pretended to unsee him. If Anya gets to know Rob's suggestion, she would bury Rob first before digging a grave for Gianna. Anya wanted Gianna forever to be in prison so neither he nor Zane would have to live with a knife at their necks.f𝒓𝗲𝗲𝒘𝑒𝚋ｎoѵ𝒆𝗹.co𝗺

Liam had apologized to Anya for his mother's actions. So he took leave from the Oasis. He wasn't able to find the solution to the problem but got to know how vicious his mother was to Anya and her baby.

…..

Linus went to his room. Rob reported some things before he went to rest after the exhausting long day.

Alvin went upstairs and opened the door of Zane's bedroom. Anya wasn't there. He went to his bedroom and opened the door.

Krystle's voice pierced his eardrums, "He will be here soon. Annie… Don't cover yourself…" Her voice trailed looking at Alvin's cold face.

She felt like punching his face but left knowing he was the one his friend had fallen for. She left the room for the couple to have their night.

Alvin entered inside to see Anya covered from head to shoulders under the duvet.

Why would Loudmouth ask Anya to be uncovered?

Curious about what they were up to. Alvin closed the door and went to the extra-large bed. He tugged the duvet seeing her faking her sleep.

Anya quickly rolled and caught the duvet, "What are you doing?" She was bewildered and was pink in embarrassment.

Alvin got a glimpse of red silk sleeves with lace trim at the hems. Looks like his wife had become a seductress again. How could he waste her efforts without even taking a look?

He tugged the duvet harder and Anya faintly gasped when the duvet slipped from her fingers.

Alvin stopped breathing for a moment. She was wearing a two- No, three-piece night dress. The red overcoat was barely reaching her thighs. The hems of it had spread out on the bed but she had tied it securely at her chest. The inner layer barely reached her thighs, leaving her slender leg look much more delicate and inviting on his bed.

Just the sight of her was enough to make his body excited. Yet, as he was about to imagine the last piece of cloth on her body, her grim voice filled with embarrassment sounded, "Where are you looking at?"

Anya wanted the ground to swallow her. She had dozed off in Zane's room due to exhaustion but Krystle dragged her out. Krystle had taken her seduction plan more seriously than herself.

As soon as his darkening intense gaze met hers, Anya could feel her face turn hot enough to catch the fire. Red-faced, she extended her hand, "Give me the duvet." She demanded, trying to sound annoyed.

The duvet wasn't far, she wasn't ready to get near him. They had a long day, she had dropped the seducing plan. She wanted to sleep and let him.

Alvin's eyes brushed over her again and asked, "Who gave you this?" His voice was low and deep.

As far as he could remember there was no such night suit Ean had delivered. And Anya was with him the whole day. So it could only be Krystle?

Anya wondered why he even asked when he could guess easily. Since she had gone downstairs in a sweater, Krystle had ordered to get those sexy, revealing night suits.

She felt better about changing her nightgown and going to bed. She quickly got off the bed and ran towards the walk-in. Little did she expect Alvin would follow right behind her and pin her against the wall.

"Alvi…" Anya felt her heart leap to her throat when he got so close that she could feel the heat from his body.

Alvin dipped his head and whispered over her ear, "There is no escaping tonight." His sensual voice tickled her body.

Anya felt hot but she shuddered against him when his lips sucked on her ears.
