His Devious Rule

Chapter 358 Succeeded Or Failed

Zane was a kid but Alvin wasn't. Rob couldn't understand why Alvin was choosing a hospital when he could have easily helped Anya remove the effects of the drug. Anyway, he respected their choice and focused on their security.

He quickly made arrangements for their departure and informed Alvin, "Boss, the car is ready." Then he carried Zane to leave quickly.

However, Alvin's mind was filled with many questions and Anya. Their first time was when he was drugged. He doesn't remember anything and all she remembers was a nightmare.

Alvin wasn't sure how she might react after coming to her senses but he wasn't ready to put her through another worst experience.

With his mind filled with hundreds of questions, he wasn't sure if it was safe to leave the clubhouse when she was drugged.

What if the intention of the person was to bring them out?

They couldn't mindlessly get into trouble. He considered if he could bring doctors quickly.

He fished his mobile out and dialed Benson as he supported Anya who was confused with her unbalanced thoughts.

He instructed Benson, [Come to the Majestic Clubhouse…]

'Clash.'

He tried to hold Anya who walked aside, "Little Donut."

Anya heard a breaking noise very clearly. She entered the room without noticing the board mentioning it as a men's washroom.

Rob took Zane aside. Zane doesn't have to learn all these so soon. And oddly, Zane was being obedient while he being worried about his mother.

Alvin rushed behind Anya and entered the washroom to hold her. He saw Earl in much worse condition. He had kept his blazer and tie aside and was washing his face repeatedly. He had pushed the room freshener which had broken on the floor.

Anya stumbled towards Earl. "E-earl…" There was uncertainty in her tone. "What happened to you?" She could see Earl was flushed and in pain.

Earl was not drunk. Alvin realized whoever drugged Anya also drugged Earl. It couldn't be a coincidence as Earl and Anya hadn't met at the party yet.

Why would anybody drug Earl too?

It wasn't time to think. Alvin quickly pulled Anya away before she could lay her finger on Earl. Then he spoke to Benson who was saying hello repeatedly.

"The two are drugged with aphrodisiacs. Get your whole team of doctors and whatever you need."

There was a pause on the line before Benson spoke, [Mr. Matthews, we can't reach the clubhouse in less than an hour.] Because the clubhouse was situated out of the city. An hour is too long for the drug to completely affect the person.

[I suggest you bring them to the nearest hospital. I will contact the doctor. I will be there as soon as possible.] Benson chose what was best for the situation.

Earl had no idea who was standing in front of him. The voice felt like Anya, hence he murmured trying to reach out, "Annie… Annie…."

Anya tried to break through Alvin's arm but he carried her up and left the restroom. He instructed Mark as he left, "Get him out and follow us."

Alvin got into Rolls Royce, Mark put Earl in the backseat of the Bentley and followed the Rolls Royce. More cars were added with the two to double the security in case of any attack. Meanwhile, Rick was taking care of a drug incident in the clubhouse.

In the Rolls Royce,

The cold temperature in the car didn't suffice for Anya who shifted repeatedly in her seat, tugging her clothes and hair.

"Alvin…" She purred, "It-it's unc-uncomfortable." She was trying to reach her zip but to no avail.

Alvin knew holding her or coaxing her wasn't a solution. Any physical touch might trigger her. Whether she will fear or end up seducing him was unknown. So he closed his eyes and tried to focus on being calm.

Anya had meticulously avoided drinking the champagne. In excitement, Krystle made Anya drink everything. The waiter was the main culprit.

Why would anybody drug Anya when he was right there?

Anybody would naturally guess he will take his wife. How would it create trouble for them?

Alvin opened his eyes that glinted darkly. The plan could be to bring Earl and Anya close. He always doubted Earl's feelings for Anya. In the state of intoxication, Earl wouldn't even recall Anya was married.

So the whole plan was to either create a big scandal or… Perhaps Gianna was doing all these to separate him from Anya.

Alvin didn't know what he or Anya would have done in such a situation. He turned to Anya who was silently crying, unable to unzip her dress or get over the heat of her body due to drugs.

He knew how unbearable it gets after being drugged twice by Gianna. Although he didn't want to take her, he could use his hands for her, couldn't he?

He hesitantly reached out and wiped her tears. Finding his hand cool, she started rubbing her face against his palm like a kitten in need of attention.

He carried her to his lap when the car came to an abrupt stop. They were in front of the hospital. That made him breathe in relief.

However, Anya was nuzzling her face against him. He quickly got out of the car carrying her, hearing her whimper in pain, "Alvin…"

"Little Donut, five minutes."

"I can't…" She cried.

Zane watched Earl on a stretcher and Anya in Alvin's arms, "Does Uncle Earl also have a fever?"

Rob could only lie to the kid, "Yeah… They will be alright soon,"

'Ring… ring…'

Rob answered the call from Rick and heard the update, [Caught two waiters. They were paid to drug and bring Young Madam and Mr. Watson together. There is no direct communication with Gianna Sallow but she is behind this.]

Rob had guessed it too. "Ha…" Rob paused glancing at Zane. He ended the call and sent some messages. If they prove Gianna tried to destroy Alvin and Anya's relationship by drugging her, they could easily prove Gianna did the same thing through Flora in the past.

'Gianna Sallow, your chapters are ending.'

Anyway, Rob didn't drop their guard down and sealed the hospital which didn't have much patients.

Rob left Zane with Alvin when the two were being treated. He checked on every doctor and nurse who went in and out of the floor.

Benson and his team arrived as soon as possible and entered the ICUs without wasting time.

Alvin saw Zane didn't eat the sandwich despite being hungry. "Little Donut will be fine." He tried to assure him.

Zane stopped staring at the door and asked his question turning to Alvin, "Then why are so many doctors inside?" There was worry and fear in his tone.

He got a fever many times. His mother got fever once or twice. Yet she always did her work with his help and then rested. They never had to see so many doctors. So it didn't make sense to him.

Looking at Zane's anticipating gaze, Alvin couldn't bring himself to ignore him. He tried another method to make Zane understand, "Little Donut drank something she shouldn't have."

Zane gave long thought and asked in worry, "Food poisoning? Allergy?"

Alvin wanted his son to turn dumb. Why does he know so much? He sighed as he responded, "Food poisoning."

Isn't drugging a kind of poisoning?

Zane nodded in acknowledgment for his response. He sat next to Alvin and waited patiently.

At the police agency,

Gianna was expecting Casper to meet her immediately and give her assurance but there was no one. Until she heard Casper, she had forgotten it was Saturday and no court would work on Sunday. She will have to be in the prison till Monday.

Last time she was able to let go of the embarrassment as only the small town people knew about her imprisonment. Since she was arrested in front of all, it started nagging her how impactful all these could be.

She had the right to remain silent hence she didn't open her lips when the cops asked her softly or rashly. She just repeated, 'I need to see my lawyers.' and those lawyers haven't visited the agency yet.

After what seemed like hours, Captain Joseph stood at the door and watched Gianna for a few seconds, "Gianna Sallow, why do you hate Officer Owen so much?"

Gianna ignored the captain, however when she heard the two men repeat, 'I didn't do anything. It was Gianna Sallow. Let me go.'

She rushed to the door and peeked at the other cell. Although she didn't know those waiters, she could guess those were caught while drugging Anya and Earl.

She was desperate to know if her plan succeeded or failed.
