His Devious Rule

Bernard was glad for a moment thinking Anya was safe. The next second, he wanted to snap his son and nephew. He already put the team to search for Anya. If Alvin had left even a single clue, then he couldn't save anybody.

He clenched his teeth and glared at Kyle after the call ended. The latter was sitting with his gaze down on the table. He politely asked, then changed his tactics, tried to guilt trip, repeatedly framed questions but Kyle was adamant on saying he has no idea. Kyle didn't accept he was the one who compromised with Harper.

If Kyle accepts he leaked the location of Anya, then Bernard could bring Anya out without worrying about her life. So he tried again.

"Kyle, I am asking you one last time. The cameras are off, nobody is recording you, you can confess to me." He asked a direct question, word for word, "Did you leak the location of the hard disk to anyone?" He was cold, hiding his fury.

Kyle further lowered his head and shook it, "No sir."

Bernard slammed his hand on the table as he stood up. He again failed by thinking Kyle might accept his doing for Anya. If Anya has to live freely outside, then Kyle has to surrender. If they find no evidence against Kyle, Anya will be entitled as a traitor, a wanted criminal.

Although Bernad's plan would get the same title on Anya. Harper wouldn't have got to know about her. After solving the situation, Bernard would have revealed as he was keeping her away and she was innocent. Now Harper had his eyes on her.

Bernard strode towards the door of the interrogation room. The door opened and the chief of the central intelligence took the orders.

"Make those three men speak. Find the evidence who leaked Anya's location." Bernard walked away with his secretaries behind him without listening to the officer.

He started thinking about how he could keep Anya and his family safe. Then release the information after filtering the moles and make Harper Johnson pay for his criminal activities.

In the Oasis mansion,

Inside the master bedroom, Alvin looked at the unconscious lady on his bed. His amber eyes seemed to hold complex emotions whenever his eyes fell on the lady.

He demanded a response, turning to the doctor, "Why is she unconscious? I tried to wake her up. It's been more than two hours." His words were clear and sharp.

The doctor was a man in his mid-thirties. He was getting ready for the hospital when he got a call from Alvin, ordering him to go to his place immediately. He had reached Oasis mansion and Alvin came after him with a lady in his arms. Alvin had taken the whole mansion on his head rushing all the way to his bedroom and laid the lady on his bed.

Not just Linus, everyone in the mansion was shocked to their bones. Alvin being careful of somebody was like hunting for oasis in the desert. Truly hard to believe.

The doctor was gathering all the reasoning when Linus barged inside the room, then he ran out with his tail between his legs. The doctor wished to go out like him but stood frozen.

Alvin adjusted the blanket over the lady for the fifth time. Then he clenched his fist realizing his actions. He hissed in a colder tone dropping the temperature in the room, "I asked something."

The lady nurse nervously gulped but she didn't dare to make a tiny peck on noise. The housekeeper carefully watched her master's every reaction for the lady. She was very curious to know the lady who could change their indifferent master to worrywart.

The doctor blurted out, "Mr. Matthews, I will check on the lady. Could you please wait outside?" Because Alvin would question him at every touch on the patient.

The housekeeper walked towards the door while Alvin denied with a straight face, "No. Whatever it is, do it in front of me."

Housekeeper: "..." She turned around to watch Alvin. She could convince him but she didn't.

The doctor took a deep breath. It wasn't the first time the doctor was listening to the most unreasonable demands from Alvin. "Mr. Matthews, she is a lady." He tried an excuse.

Alvin's face darkened. He thought he should have asked for a lady doctor. Anyway, he countered, "You are a man." If he has to leave from there due to his gender, then the doctor was also a man.

The nurse didn't know if she should laugh. If she did, she would lose the job. So she lowered her head and stayed silent. Whereas the housekeeper chuckled silently. She felt like Alvin found a person to care and worry about other than his mother.

The doctor clenched his teeth to control his expression and looked at Alvin, "I am a doctor, Mr. Matthews." He deadpanned.

Alvin craved to drag the man close to the lady and order him to check on the lady but he was a family doctor so Alvin controlled. He doubted the doctor, "Does that change your gender?"

The doctor lost it there. He wanted to shout as he has a son and a daughter. He didn't have a death wish to prey on a woman who Alvin brought. He was a professional doctor, why would he mistreat his patients?

He glanced at the lady on the bed and sounded stern, "Mr. Matthews, I could ask for a female doctor to come and check on the lady. Let me give you heads up, it will take a minimum of two hours to come here." His eyes shifted to Alvin and tried to question, "Could you wait…"

The doctor swallowed the rest of the words when he sensed alarming signals looking at the deathly gaze of the man.

'Did I just sign my death warrant?' He swallowed hard and turned to the housekeeper for help.

Alvin might be eye candy, the sight of him brings nothing but fear. The doctor wasn't even daring to get close to the patient due to Alvin being near her.

The housekeeper realized if she doesn't step in, Alvin will practically throw the doctor out, then they might have to wait an hour for another doctor. She quickly went next to Alvin and convinced in a low voice, "Mr. Matthews, let them check on the lady. What if she is poisoned? Delay might be life-threatening." She chose the right words that could change Alvin's stubbornness.

Alvin glanced at the lady on the bed and clenched his fist. He couldn't understand why he was getting so hyper for a stranger. He unwillingly left the room glaring some daggers at the doctor. He still doesn't understand why the doctor couldn't treat her in his presence.

As soon as he stepped out, Linus popped in front of him, "Bro… Why did YOU kidnap the young mommy?" He faked being in shock. Then he grinned mischievously, ignoring the cold face of his brother, "Have you fallen for the young mommy who threw you out of the house... Naked?" He was enjoying his brother's most embarrassing incident.

'Fallen for the young mommy?' Alvin's face turned dark as a stormy cloud during rain. He refused to think of it and strode away to his study room.

'Young Mommy!?' The housekeeper's eyebrows furrowed, understanding the unconscious young lady has a baby.

Linus went behind his brother despite knowing Alvin might throw him out or forbid him from the mansion.
