His Devious Rule

Chapter 443 Divorce

Anya knocked on the door before pushing the door open. Her eyes fell on Janet who was sitting on the cold chair without reacting to her. Janet's face was stained but the tears continued to roll down her cheeks. Her knuckles had turned pale while clutching the jacket with all her might.

Janet's desolation reminded Anya of her worst days. Anya hadn't given up on herself because of the baby in her womb. But Janet had given up on everything and accepted the defeat.

When Alvin said to destroy the couple, this was exactly what Anya had in mind. Despite achieving what she wanted in such a short time, Anya found herself concerned about Janet's children.

What was their mistake?

Why should they lose their parents for their mistakes?

Honestly, Anya wanted Janet to realize and repent every day for her actions. For abandoning baby Alvin, neglecting him, pressuring him, disregarding Zane's safety for her benefit, and being heartless towards Alvin due to her career.

But Wilson dragged it too far. Alvin will push this past them. Anya will move on from this. The media will forget them. The ones who were going to suffer were Janet's children.

Anya had focused just on Alvin. She wasn't sure if Janet acknowledged her mistakes and learned her lesson after all these. She didn't have the heart to stay silent when Wilson's evilness and Janet's selfishness were going to hurt Nia and Nicklaus.

Sitting in front of Janet, Anya waited until Janet wiped her tears and sucked in a deep breath to listen to her. She was the one who ruined their lives so she might sound like a hypocrite and it didn't matter to Anya.

"Divorce your husband." Anya hoped Janet would finally make the right choices and stop making decisions in a panic.

While watching Anya's dead seriousness, Janet expected Anya to scold, mock, and laugh at her. Hearing Anya asking her to divorce Wilson, Janet decisively nodded in agreement.

Janet wasn't going to leave Wilson because Anya told her, Wilson was indeed toxic. There was a time Wilson was head over heels in love with her, respected and treasured her. She always ignored his action in the past years, trying hard to be understanding due to his company in losses.

But she never expected Wilson to take advantage of her weakness and use her children for his motive. Her children were better off without a father.

Anya had heard Krystle saying Janet was a strong woman and she wasn't money crazy. Janet just wanted to work and earn money. So Anya wasn't much surprised by Janet's decision.

Anya instructed calmly, "Hire the best lawyer just for YOU."

Janet was perplexed by Anya's words. Weren't they going to send her to prison and make her rot behind the bars?

Anya knew what was in Janet's mind. Janet had given up and she had no idea how to deal with criminal cases. So Anya tried to brief so that Janet could convey the same thing to her lawyer. "Blame everything on your husband." Wilson was behind the scheme anyway.

Janet had assumed she would be punished as she gave hand in for her husband. She understood Wilson was going to be the perpetrator and she will be the victim of her husband's actions.

Anya saw Janet gaining a bit of hope. She truly hoped Janet could get out of this for her children. "Don't forget you have two children to take care of." That should be Janet's motivation to live.

She didn't care if Janet resumes her career or changes it or does anything.

Anya stood up but she didn't leave. Her stealing ray eyes glinted coldly. She doesn't believe Janet. So she has to warn Janet if she thinks of playing tricks.

Pressing her palms on the desk, Anya went close to Janet and warned her in a low voice, "If you ever lie or say anything horrible against my husband to save yourself, I will skin you alive. I mean it."

Janet: ?Ÿ˜¨

Open-mouthed, Janet watched Anya walk out of the room. She had doubted Anya due to her plain looks, mother of a baby, and simple background. However, she returned home with a strong impression of Anya. Now, she admired Anya.

.....

Alvin's shoulder relaxed looking at bright gray eyes finally relieved. He extended his hand and saw her lips faintly curl up as she slid her cold fingers into his palm. "Why did you meet her?"

Anya whispered, sounding mischief, "It's a secret."

Shaking his head in resignation, Alvin tugged her to leave from there. They abruptly paused when the news caught their attention. [Casper Matthews is finally released from restraint....]

The trio glanced at the television screen where Casper got into his car and the car drove away. Alvin and Rob wondered how Casper was going to attack them while Anya recalled she had asked Martin Cox to arrange a meeting in a cafe.

â€"â€"â€"â€"

At Cafe Hive,

Anya's speed faintly lowered when she noticed stunned Harrison faintly nodding at her as a greeting. She reciprocated and strode inside the cafe. Her cold eyes landed on Casper.

Casper was clenching his teeth when he got to know from Martin that Anya got to know about their plan and asked him to meet him. So as soon as he felt a strong presence and sensed a person enter the cafe, he glared at Anya who fearlessly sauntered inside.

His threat didn't work on her, it looks like he has to destroy Alvin by invalidating the shares. He sneered in his mind when Anya reached their table.

Martin scurried away when Anya waved her hand at him. It was better for him to stay off the radar. He swore to just do business with the Matthews, nothing more.

Casper despised the man who feared a woman who hadn't lived even half of their age. "Anya Owen..." He said through his teeth, his voice burying the rage. "Don't be glee."

'Glee!?' She never wanted Alvin to go against his family. Both of them were moving on in their life but neither Gianna nor the Matthews family was letting them live their lives.

They weren't against the Matthews because they wanted to win. They wanted to protect themselves and their loved ones from being harmed by the Matthews.

Casper didn't know when to give up. They could have solved everything silently but they needed commotion. She was fed up with juggling between troubles. She just wished to spend time with her son, and husband.

Anya scoffed, "Casper Matthews, did you really think that was my potential?" Her cold voice floated in the air. "I just gave you a taste of your actions." Casper truly underestimated her. What she did could be done by anybody.

Casper's face darkened and gritted his teeth. He hadn't done any crime, what else could he do?

"If I attack, you will cry blood." She could shake the whole organization but she never considered it because of many innocent people involved in the organization and working at the company.

Casper jerked up and slammed his hand on the table. He shook in fury when he growled at Anya understanding the depth of her words, "Anya Owen, don't cross your line."
