His Devious Rule

\'Escaped!?\' Anya groaned in frustration. She came there to quickly put an end to the situation but the situation dragged on.

She wasn\'t in her country to deal with the escape in a few minutes. She didn\'t have the resources and chasing after the person wasn\'t a smart move but time-consuming.

Yet, Anya was prepared to rush if she could catch up using Alvin\'s company security but Alvin tugged her back. "Alvin, we should…" Her voice halted hearing the hurried boots noise behind her.

Her thoughts ran wild wondering if the Arrow Trucking Company was ambushing them as they had firearms. She quickly turned around, shielding her husband from any threat.

The other men heard the noise too. Excluding Shawn Rivas, they were on high alert. They formed a human chain in front of  Alvin and Anya and prepared to defend themselves. Rob unlocked the child lock on his handgun as he went forward.

Alvin instinctively pulled Anya behind him. Anya and Shawn\'s jaws dropped when more men covered them for protection, with some holding firearms.

Alvin frowned when his eyes fell on a slender silhouette followed by a few men in the dark.

Once Rob got a clear look at the leading people, he signaled the men to return as he headed back to Alvin as calmly reported to them, "President Evans of Skylark, Professor Rivas of Rivas Hospitals."

\'Rivas!\' Anya dropped her guard down and peeked at the parade of a group. She zeroed her eyes on a slender, alluring lady heading towards them. Her black orbs sparkled like rare diamonds but her exquisite face suddenly adorned a frown, slowing down in steps.

"Little Heart…" Anya glanced at Shawn who passed by them and embraced the spellbinding beauty.

Her gaze went to the men in formals who dragged two men like a sack of potatoes. She immediately identified them and guessed that the Rivas caught them on the way. Anya pointed out, standing next to Alvin, "They are behind the explosion."

Turning to Alvin, "How will you deal with them?"

Instead of Alvin, she heard another voice, "We will deal with them." The voice was sinister with a touch of professional tone. There was also an underlying meaning, \'You may leave.\'

Anya\'s lips curled to an O. Whereas Rob controlled himself from rolling his eyes. He quickly gave another introduction, "Milo Wen, the secretary of President Rivas."

Anya subtly nodded at Rob in acknowledgment. Rivas Industries will deal with the Arrow Trucking company for kidnap and gas explosion.

What about the lives that they put at risk and the damage they caused at the archaeological site? Thus Anya looked at Alvin. She also wanted to know if Casper Matthews had a hand in it.

Alvin couldn\'t even think of anything illegal with Anya being around. A legal route would be a long process, yet he would still choose to ruin the Arrow Trucking Company.

However, with Rivas in pictures, he didn\'t want his time or resources to waste. Thus his eyes went to the three who looked classy and elite on the surface but dangerous and vengeful at the same time.

He met the amber eyes of Aaron Rivas who subtly nodded at him as a greeting. They had crossed paths in one of the auctions. They didn\'t know who he was, now, they didn\'t need an introduction.

Alvin\'s attention shifted back to his wife who tugged his jacket for attention. He didn\'t want to trouble her with a dirty business world, "Did you eat anything in the noon?" His sudden gentle voice gave goosebumps to the men around them.

Anya: "..."

She understood the unsaid words. She shouldn\'t worry further. Anyway, snorting in dissatisfaction for leaving her task halfway, she mewled, "I want my baby." Zane would be eagerly waiting for her.

Alvin controlled his smile. He nodded at Rob who went aside to make a call. It might take a few hours to reach the hotel by road but only a few minutes by air.

"President Matthews…" Their attention shifted to the gorgeous man who offered his hand to Alvin.

Alvin greeted back in a cold crisp voice, "Professor Rivas."

Aaron paused a moment due to Alvin\'s demeanor before he pointed towards the reception building as they spoke about how they will deal with the company and if Alvin had any plans.

Anya: "..."

She sulked for being ignored and followed her husband, holding his hand. She was completely uninterested in their business talk but grasped many things.

Aaron\'s wife was going to attack the Arrow Trucking company and acquire them. They wouldn\'t reveal Shawn\'s kidnap but they would legally punish the two men for the explosion, and illegal transport of other oils and provide a satisfactory response to Skylark

Alvin had no issues. He will have to send one of his lawyers and connect them to Logan Wilson. Nevertheless, his eyes brushed on Shawn Rivas who was cajoling a lady for hiding trouble.

Shawn Rivas wasn\'t just anybody to kidnap him so easily. So to get a clear view of the situation, Alvin had to ask, "How did they kidnap Shawn Rivas?" If they were making up stories to remove them from the picture, he would have to stand against Rivas.

Aaron Rivas glanced at Shawn and softly sighed. He was glad Shawn wasn\'t much bruised and silently waited for support to arrive.

He revealed the truth, "He got a clue about the illegal transport of Kerosene oil in Rivas\'s name. He had gone to catch them red-handed but they had changed the route and captured my brother."

Anya\'s eyes suddenly widened as her back stiffened. She got a clear picture of the whole situation. The Arrow Trucking company wanted to transport the Kerosene oil and stop Shawn Rivas. Casper Matthews\'s men might have taken the coincidence as a chance and fired at the trucks.

Kerosene oil being highly inflammable, caught the fire and turned into an explosion with a mix of natural gas. The Arrow trucking Company wanted to avoid the investigation so they tried to stop her.

Anya summarized after she briefed them about the situation. "Alvin, we might have nothing to do with the Arrow Trucking Company." She hadn\'t caught the criminal yet and wasted the whole day.

Alvin\'s face darkened after hearing her. He should have known Casper wouldn\'t leave a trace if he resorted to unlawful means.
