His Devious Rule

Chapter 431 Confident Or Over-Confident?

Taking advantage of Janet's name and fame, Wilson smugly watched the cops who were going to detain Alvin Matthews. He had two plans to trap Alvin and he was delighted that the first plan worked out.

Considering Alvin's anger and Janet's anxiety, Janet's tendency to go extreme, and Alvin's dominance to stay ten steps ahead, Wilson was more than certain that Alvin would keep an eye on Janet. Hence he devised the plan accordingly.

On the previous day, after meeting the CEO of Starlight to arrange a press conference, Wilson went straight to see the deputy chief of police.

He had complained as there was a stalker who was constantly keeping an eye on Janet and that was frightening both of them.

Yes, his plan was similar to manager Claire's. Claire wanted Janet to be a victim of Gianna and Casper but they wouldn't have gotten anything in return.

Thus Wilson was making Janet a victim of Alvin's autocracy. In return, Wilson will make sure he won't lack money for his whole life.

Little did he know overconfidence sinks the ship.

Nevertheless, complaining to the cops wasn't enough. Finding the stalker in the crowd of the capital city was impossible as there was no clue about the stalker. Utmost, the cops could provide security to Janet.

Fusing his plans, Wilson informed the cops that Janet was going to a farmhouse to rest and relax before her next project. Then he suggested that the cops shouldn't follow Janet. Instead, they should station at remote places and keep an eye on vehicles that follow Janet's car to the farmhouse.

Janet was a celebrity for decades and had numerous fans. The cops assumed Wilson was just too experienced in the situation and suggested them.

Thus a black sedan was caught trailing Janet to the farmhouse. Although the men in the black sedan didn't reveal any name, Wilson kept advising the cops to track their call record and the trace reached Robertson, Alvin's secretary, a foreigner in Narnia. Whereas Wilson directed the attention to Alvin as Rob works on Alvin's commands.

Even though the Deputy Chief of police wanted to contact Anya Owen, Janet's fanbase was huge. The deputy chief didn't want to disturb the wrong crowd and create havoc in the nation. Hence he proceeded with the legal process.

Wilson stood up with a relieved expression and shook hands with the deputy. "Thank you for your timely actions, Deputy Warner." Wilson continued to follow his script.

Confused, Deputy Warner uneasily looked at Wilson. He had worked with Anya only once. Taking her personality, she might be high-handed and cold but he was sure she wouldn't be arrogant or ask for unlawful favor using her connections. Thus he was undisturbed to some extent.

However, he couldn't stop himself from doubting the whole situation and how Wilson didn't get a wink of sleep and kept the whole team on their toes until they got an arrest warrant in Alvin's name.

He could understand if a young man gets obsessed with a young artist and stalks her crazily. But Alvin?

Alvin was wealthy. He had a young, beautiful wife, and an adorable son. If he still fancies a woman, shouldn't it be a young and seductive woman?

Janet was old, losing her charm, fading behind the entertainment screen. Neither she nor her family was rich enough to be of any advantage to Alvin.

So why would Alvin Matthews, a businessman mindlessly stalk a celebrity who was hitting fifty soon?

It was baseless to accept it as a crime. Thus he directly asked Wilson "Mr. Wilson, I don't understand one thing. Why would Alvin Matthews, leave his all work, neglect his family's legal case and stalk your wife? It doesn't make any sense."

He paused when he noticed a slight change in Wilson's expression. He could let the team handle the case. He was being careful because of Anya. She might be young and her experience might be less in years but she is terrific.

He wasn't ready to look into her steely gray eyes, which would silently question his intelligence and experience. So he continued to put his suspicion on the whole situation instead of Wilson. He wondered if Robertson was betraying Alvin or if Alvin was being targeted.

Deputy Warner added, "Alvin Matthews doesn't have a media or entertainment company to send paparazzi." In any way, there was no reason for Alvin to stalk Janet.

Wilson could sense suspicion in the tone of Deputy Warner. He had sounded panicky all night so that they would take action without thinking. He had argued with them to arrest Alvin and lodged a complaint against Alvin.

He couldn't let his plan fail now. He didn't want to add more lies as there were twists in the story. So he took a few seconds and planned his move.

His relieved expression looked puzzled with frowns and pursed lips. He hummed for a few seconds as if thinking hard. He loudly breathed out while shaking his head, "I don't understand it either. We will have to ask him." He sounded curious yet calm.

He shrugged and repeated his words to indicate he was leaving, "Thank you for your cooperation, Deputy Warner."

Deputy Warner hadn't doubted Wilson from the beginning as he was Janet's husband. So he stopped stressing Wilson about it. It was their task to find the truth, "It's our duty, Mr. Wilson." He responded.

Deputy Warner also left his office after Wilson who was answering the media reporters' questions. He can't afford to say anything against or in favor of anybody. So he avoided the reporters to do the investigation first before the crowd gathers and starts the rampage.

In the Range Rover,

After getting fresh in the penthouse, Wilson was driving to the Starlight to attend the press conference when his mobile started ringing.

He simpered looking at Claire's call. That wasn't the call he was waiting for. She was just an artist agent with no power in hand. So he ignored it

Shortly, there was another call. CEO Starlight was on the display screen. It was perfect timing as Wilson's script. He answered the call and greeted in a taunting voice, "Good Morning, CEO Sir."

Nevertheless, the other end wasn't so calm after watching the news, [What the duck is going?] He roared, [Mr. Wilson, this was your plan, wasn't it? How dare you use me for your personal agenda?]

Wilson had thought the CEO to be very slow to discern the situation or get tricked by him again. Since the CEO guessed it right, he didn't play dumb anymore. [Yes, you are right.]

He slowly pulled the car aside and took his mobile. He sent the recorded call audio to the CEO while listening to the aggressive CEO.

[I'll sue you for exploiting me. I- I will reveal your truth.] The CEO stammered in rage. Janet wasn't worth it for him to go against Alvin or the Matthews family. He will save himself rather than get himself in trouble.

Wilson mockingly laughed upon hearing the threat. He was aware of what the CEO thought of Janet. Hence he was prepared. He said between his laughter, "Why don't you check your mobile?" Then he continued to laugh while the CEO fell silent.

Wilson turned grave after a few seconds. His tone was threatening when he said through his teeth, "If I go down, you and your company will go down with me. It's better for you that you listen to me."

[I dare you...] The CEO roared at the other end. He couldn't believe the harmless conversation between him and Janet could be used as if they were in the plan with Wilson.

"Heh!?" Wilson sniggered at the man. He was confident that the CEO would be afraid of getting implicated in the release of the audio.

[Do you think Alvin Matthews will fall for your lousy trick? He will destroy you.] The CEO argued. More than Wilson, his ultimate worry was the Matthews family and Anya Owen.

Wilson rolled his eyes. Alvin slipped the moment he sent men to trail Janet. He was confident he would win his game.
