His Devious Rule

Chapter 51 A Scumbag Father

Anya snapped back hearing Krystle's voice. She quickly caught her friend whose blood was boiling by recalling the past and knowing his friend was fooled. "Kryst… Krystie… Krystle... Listen to me..." Anya didn't want to hurt Krystle while controlling her. So stopping her was really difficult just by holding her.

"Enough." A clear, sharp voice jumped the hearts of the two ladies.

Anya and Krystle were startled hearing Alvin's intimidating voice ringing in their ears. Both swallowed hard at the fear gripping their throat but didn't leave their ground.

Linus shook his head resignedly and took the lead, "Ms. Owen, Ms, hotheaded, why don't we sit and talk?" Since his brother wasn't speaking about their intention and plan with Anya, he chose to speak. He also considered speaking to avoid the hotheaded being thrown out of the mansion which will affect Anya and Alvin.

Krystle was about to snap at him but Anya held her hand and looked at Alvin. Anya tries her best to understand everything without being unreasonable. If Alvin wasn't ready to speak and answer her, she would have no choice but to assume her analysis or dig up the dirt. So she pressured Alvin to speak.

Alvin watched her stubborn gaze, warning him to speak. He had two minds from the time this Young Mommy came into his life a second time. Both minds make contrasting decisions. One wanted to ignore her, another one wanted to listen to her. That irritated him more.

Why should he listen to her and explain to her?

Yet, his second mind won over his arrogant one. He responded to her question accurately knowing if he doesn't open his mouth, she will do something which he would definitely dislike or she will put herself in danger to stay away from him. "She wasn't in the plan." That irritating woman would never be in his life or plan.

Anya was smart enough to discern Flora drugged Alvin and ruined his half of the plan. Yet the strong-headed Alvin still carried out his plan. She didn't care about his relationship with Flora. She held Krystle's hand and went upstairs without asking his permission if she could take Krystle.

Krystle breathed an internal sigh. While she followed Anya, her eyes were behind, watching Alvin. Was it her illusion? Though it was for brief seconds, she felt Alvin gentle and considerate, his gaze softer on her girl.

She slapped her head while she climbed the stairs and blamed her eyes, 'Something is wrong with my eyes. I need to visit the doctor.'

Ignored Linus sulked aside. He still asked, "Bro, you should tell Young Mommy about what happened that day. We don't know who sent her the roses. When she had parked her car at AV road, somebody thoroughly checked her car before she went home."

He effortlessly guessed that somebody was Harper Johnsons. If it's truly him, how did Harper know Young Mommy will melt to the little girl? Other than Bernard, Alvin, and him, no one knew Young Mommy will have the hard disk. So Kyle Reynolds could be the mole but Linus didn't find the evidence yet.

Alvin looked at Anya who grimly went upstairs. She was displeased right after hearing the tits and bits of his family.

Did she disappear five years ago because of the Matthews family? A wrong encounter with his family?

"Why will the Matthews family hurt Anya if she stays at my place?" He thought out loud recalling Krystle's words. He could understand Flora Dalton might provoke his father afraid of losing her face in society. But wouldn't that be stupidity to attack the woman he brings home? What if he brings a new woman each day? Will they kill everyone?

Linus shrugged as he slumped to the couch, "Obviously, they think you are in love with Little Mommy. Young Mommy is from a middle-class family, they can't establish a business marriage so they will lose billions of money... You are a money tree for them. If your first rich wife dies, your father would find a second rich wife for you." By the end of his word, he sounded disgusted and a scowl appeared on his face.

Linus looked at Alvin, though most of his behavior was like his father, Alvin was far better and never took advantage of relationships and played with emotions.

Linus suddenly rose from his seat and stood in front of Alvin, "I am envious of Young Mommy, you treated her so well." He tried to complain so that his brother could give him a little more leeway.

Alvin stood up, shoving his hands to his pockets. "Let's go." He said indifferently.

Linus was confused, "Where?"

"I will feed you breakfast." Alvin sarcastically answered, for a response to treat Linus well.

Linus was flabbergasted. He just wanted Alvin to ask him what he wanted so that he could demand something. He hadn't gone insane to get fed by his brother. He quickly ran away before Alvin could hold his collar and drag him to the dining hall.

Alvin checked his wristwatch. He had instructed his men to bring the electronic devices Anya had listed in a document. They would reach them soon. He clicked his tongue without knowing how long those best friends were going to take.

Upstairs,

Though Krystle was born and grew up luxuriously, Alvin's place still blew her mind. She mumbled while looking around, "He stood on his words. His father might be burning every day." She sniggered.

Anya didn't hear her words clearly, "I didn't get you, Kryst."

Krystle went next to her friend and started briefing Alvin's life. She forgot she was hiding everything from her friend as Anya might fall soft for Alvin Matthews.

"Do you know!? When you relocated to take care of pregnancy, Alvin left his house fighting with his father. His father is a big scumbag. Dad said he was laughing at Alvin saying he won't be able to survive a day without him. Alvin borrowed money from his friend and left the country. Now, he is a multi-billionaire. His father must be trying hard to pull Alvin down. That <anno data-annotation-id="eb416dd4-ca09-1a66-9353-b7bac6715b0d">b*tch</anno> is trying harder to get him."

Anya felt terrible for Alvin for having such parents. In the past, she had numerous times tried to know why Alvin hated his parents. He often ignored her questions or got angry. Concerned about Alvin, a faint sigh left her lips.

'If I hadn't left, would he have met me?' Without realizing it, Anya got lost in the thoughts about Alvin.
