His Devious Rule-Chapter 442 A Crime

Anya looked calm when they left the interrogation room. Alvin looked at her hand clutching his as if controlling herself from doing something. He silently followed her.

He wasn't sure yet how and what she had done. He could guess she was merciless against Wilson witnessing the cops halting their actions, watching her in admiration.

His eyes settled on Anya's side profile. She should be happy for bringing him out without a small blot on his image. But she wasn't. Either Wilson's threat to Janet using their kids was still disturbing her or there was something more. 𝙛r𝚎𝐞𝑤𝚎𝗯𝗻𝗼𝐯e𝚕.𝒄𝐨𝓂

His gaze fell on Rob who faintly nodded at him. It meant Anya dealt with everything on her own. They had nothing more to do. No preparation and no follow-ups are required.

Rob was a bit dissatisfied and anxious at first. Anya suggested that they should keep the lawyer out and not speak about the anticipatory bail until she makes sure she can't solve it and needs time.

After speaking with Ean a few minutes ago, he discerned that Alvin became the survivor of the whole situation causing people to shift to his side and blame people.

Wilson's effort against Alvin and Anya's smart and quick moves proved advantageous to Skylark. Nothing could have been a better marketing strategy than this.

Rob knocked on the door of Deputy Warner's office and pushed it open for the couple.

Warner sighed watching bone-chilling Anya stepping inside. He helplessly said, "We could have avoided all these." The news channels and social media were in an uproar. He was getting calls from seniors asking why they let the matter escalate.

Anya knew Warner had prioritized the case as it involved high-profile names. The name topped the list was her, followed by Janet and Alvin. Hence Warner had taken quick action.

She knew she could have avoided media uproar. however, it would have continued to put her husband in a negative spot. Why would she choose that?

"Better than causing riots on the streets." If she had taken Alvin away using the anticipatory bail, Janet's fans would have thrown stones at the police agency, Alvin's car, and his company. What's more, they could have looked for her house, her parent's. Things would have gone out of hand.

Alvin couldn't help but admire the woman next to him. Despite knowing how meticulous she was, he couldn't help but be amused.

Warner didn't get her intention. He would have announced that Wilson had planned everything and Alvin was innocent. Anyway, he pointed at the door, "Ms. Owen, why don't you complete the procedure for your husband's release.."

Anya thanked the man who had exhausted himself. She had just turned around when the door barged open and Wilson ran inside hysterically saying, "I'm innocent. Anya Owen hacked my…"

Anya felt her blood boil in her nerves at the sight of Wilson. Ignoring it was a police agency and it was offensive to hit a person, she gave in to her bitterness.

'Pow.' Her powerful strike landed right on Wilson's cheek.

Warner, Alvin, Captain Richards: "..."

Wilson stumbled on his foot, the words choked in his throat. His eyes started rolling and fell on the floor from the sudden, strong impact.

Alvin didn't care who got his wife's punch. He was quick to envelop Anya in his arms and gently patted her head. "Shh… Relax." His voice was low and comforting next to her ear. He had seen her angered but never witnessed her losing her control.

Anya snapped out at Alvin's voice. She slowly breathed out to calm herself. She knew she went extreme. But she couldn't hold herself especially when it was about children. It's as if somebody was trying to hurt her baby.

Richards didn't even want to imagine the strength of her strike. Warner swallowed hard and looked at Wilson sitting on the floor in utter shock.

'Did he lose his mind?' Warner wondered, looking at Wilson's state.

Then their gaze went on to the couple. Alvin was protectively holding Anya. The sudden unexpected storm disappeared just like that.

Composing herself, Anya realized why Krystle was adamant about getting her PTSD treated. They just learned about her fear of physical intimacy and non-dependency. She might be very sensitive to many things like children. Anya wanted to get treated.

Breathing out, her hand sneaked into Alvin's jacket, fished his wallet, and fetched a few bank notes.

Alvin let go of her and watched her grab a blank sheet from the table and write. He was speechless when he read her apology letter.

'I, Anya Owen lost my temper due to Wilson's outrageous actions against my husband. I apologize for my actions in the police agency and compensate Wilson according to section 170. Handing the compensation in the presence of Deputy Chief Warner and Captain Richards.'

Then she signed her name and placed the bank notes on the paper. She glanced at Wilson who was sitting like a statue but his eyes were moving from side to side.

She couldn't believe Wilson again started to cook some plan. First, she stated to Warner, "I will take the responsibility for my actions." Then her lips curled to a cunning smile, "If he starts another drama, I could make it true."

Wilson stiffened at her words. He was planning to behave like he lost his mind to escape the law. Warner and Richard almost coughed up blood witnessing Wilson's reaction. They felt naive in front of Anya.

Alvin pursed his lips to a thin line to stop himself from laughing. He watched her petite face when she turned to him. She neither looked angry nor sad. There was weird determination in her gray eyes. He lifted his chin asking her silently to say what was on her mind.

"Don't stop me again," Anya whispered, with a hint of mischief to assure him.

Alvin was altered. What was she up to?

Anya turned back to Warner and asked, "Deputy Warner, I would like to confirm the legal actions on Mr. Wilson."

Warner gathered himself from the bolting shock and nodded at her. He passed a paper to her hand. Alvin and Anya went through the content together. Wilson was charged with the four cases. Fooling the cops, scheming against Alvin, threatening Janet, and Blackmailing CEO Jordan.

Anya sat down as she started to write the ones which weren't included and utter the words, "Hate crimes under section 249, Child protection and safety under 209, 103.7 Fraud activity, 103.8 False information, 113c psychological damage, 227 Slandering, 231 Civil disorder…."

Warner, Richards, and Wilson: "..."

Alvin won't fear his wife. Instead, he was controlling his laughter. He wasn't sure if Lawyer Abbot would have lodged as many complaints as her. But her list didn't seem to stop anytime soon.

Wilson felt like she would put another case if he speaks. Is breathing a crime? He didn't dare to breathe loudly. He felt his head dizzy with everything.

…

Alvin forcefully carried his wife out from filling more sheets. Nevertheless, she wasn't done yet. Jumping off his arms, Anya pursed her lips. Alvin might not like what she was going to do.

She pointed towards the interrogation "I want to meet Janet Collins." She quickly added to avoid him, "Why don't you complete the release procedure by then?"

Since she looked much better after punching Wilson, Alvin faintly hummed in acceptance and watched her step away.

Alvin sensed Rob's presence behind him and mused in dilemma, "Will my wife trash that woman?"

Rob only finds Anya angry at Alvin. Rest of the time she was always calm-headed. Nevertheless, his eyes landed on Wilson's bruise that had turned green. He couldn't believe Anya did that.

Alvin faintly shook his head, "Nope." If he knows his Little Donut well enough, "My wife is worried." He shrugged and went to sign some papers.

Rob: "..."

Why would Anya worry about Janet after all these? Rob was puzzled.
