His Devious Rule-Chapter 369 Framed

At the police agency,

The entrance of the agency was brimming with media and crowd when a Maybach and Bently came to halt. The cops and the security of Matthews Industries had to struggle in the crowd to escort Casper and his legal team inside the agency.

The media shoot their questions sharply about everything. Gianna and her actions, Alvin and his scandal, Anya and her award, the whereabouts of Zane, and lastly absence of Liam.

Casper was overwhelmed just hearing them. He wondered if Gianna had a hand in leaking Alvin's picture with another woman. He could only hope she didn't have a hand in it.

The first time, Casper breathed in relief entering the agency, away from the noise and crowd.

Probably Casper would have got the green flag to meet Gianna right away but that wasn't the case whenever Anya was in the picture.

The cops diverted Casper and his team to captain Joseph's room who was busy on the case with a new complaint on Gianna by Earl Lewis for being the victim of drugs.

Earl didn't bother to greet or spare a glance at Casper. He leaned back on the chair and waited for the captain to send them.

Joseph looked at Casper and his team of lawyers. Gianna was silent without uttering a word. Well, she had the right to remain silent, so they couldn't do anything. 𝑓𝓇𝑒𝑒𝚠e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝑙.com

"Captain Joseph, Chairman Matthews wishes to meet his wife." The chief lawyer spoke first.

Joseph glanced at Casper who was well groomed for the day. He flatly instructed, "Due to the involvement of the prominent person with the case, we will only allow five minutes for a family to speak with the suspect." The prominent person he spoke to was Anya.

Casper gritted his teeth. Wherever he went, he was always the focus of the media and people. However, it always changes when Anya is involved. It's as if the people who know Anya or work for her, don't care who he was.

The lawyer glanced at Casper. This process was to avoid the possibility of family members trying to destroy the evidence after speaking with the suspect. As Gianna's lawyer, he will get more time so he had to agree, "Thank you, Captain."

After signing in the log book to record their visit, two lawyers went to meet Gianna's allies and the other two men entered a cold cell where Gianna was sitting on a hard-seated chair.

There was no change in her expression when Casper went inside and sat in front of her. The glaring dark circles were hard to miss on her face. Her delicate look had changed to smudged and unkempt.

Casper didn't care about how she was doing there. He bluntly asked, "Did you plan to drug Anya Owen and Earl Lewis?"

Gianna just blankly stared at Casper who didn't look like a person whose wife was arrested. He looked fresh and active like every day.

Casper glared at Gianna, finding her silence intolerable. The chief lawyer spoke before Casper loses his cool.

"Madam Matthews, your spy, and the two waiters are arrested. In fear, they are pleading guilty for their doing. The probability of their terms in prison and fine will be considerably less." Hence she needs to reveal every detail to them to find a way out.

They knew the truth without her response to Casper's question. Would it make a difference if she doesn't say it? Instead of answering, she commanded the lawyer, "I used the maid's mobile. Blame her, make me the victim."

The lawyers had already thought of it as their aim was only to save Gianna. It doesn't matter to them who they will sacrifice for it. Nevertheless. there was a problem.

"Madam Matthews, you have used the maid's number for the attempt to kidnap Zane Owen." Thus they could make everything seem like the maid was greedy for wealth after serving in the Matthews family and tried to kidnap Zane.

Since Anya had visited the Matthews mansion once with Zane, and the maid had seen them, they could clear out any question framed at them.

However, "You have used the number that is registered in your name to plan the drug incident." Although it wasn't a serious office since it wasn't legal drugs, her motive will be questioned.

The chief lawyer paused glancing at Casper. He added to let Gianna know the seriousness of the situation, "And we have no idea how much evidence Anya Owen and Alvin Matthews are holding against you and proof the cops have." Due to Anya Owen, access to the case file and sensitive details were private and confidential.

"So?" Gianna questioned. She didn't care how they were going to get her out of it, she didn't want to stay there or get penalized.

"So please tell us everything so that we could be prepared for your bail tomorrow and arrange the witnesses for the court trials." He meant fake witnesses if needed.

Gianna started explaining from the time Anya met her in the Dean's office and challenged her. Ended her narration when she warned the Watson family to take Ean away from Alvin.

Five minutes had passed a few minutes ago. The cop called Casper out but the latter stared at Gianna. "Gianna Sallow, you had one job to do. Just watch Anya Owen." He had planned to give the temporary position of Dean to Anya and return it back to Gianna with the majority demanding for Gianna.

However, Gianna was impatient and foolish to start attacking Anya and Alvin like a headless chicken. The issue he planned to silently resolve went out of his hand.

Gianna frowned. She had expected him to reprimand her. Why did he repeat Anya's words? She asked looking at Casper who walked away with deep frowns. "What do you mean?"

The lawyer responded to the question as he sat down, "Alvin Matthews influenced the board members of the university. Your image... They are demanding to bring Anya Owen as a dean." Since Anya announced her resignation, the Dean is a Presidential awardee was the biggest publicity for the university.

"No!!" Gianna exclaimed in disbelief. She couldn't believe Alvin struck when the iron was hot.

The lawyer didn't respond and let Gianna digest the fact. Anya being the awardee wasn't the reason board members started demanding Anya. Gianna's image will negatively affect the university hence they want to redeem it using Anya's achievements. If not Anya, they would change it to somebody else.

Wasn't it better to have a member belonging to the Matthews family take care of the university? Hence there were chances of giving the position to Anya. fre𝙚𝓌𝒆𝚋noѵel.c𝚘m

When Gianna composed herself, the lawyer explained a plan to her. Although it was going to be frustrating to stay in the cell for another night, Gianna was impressed by the plan.

"Alright." Gianna agreed to behave just as the lawyer asked her to do.

The lawyer was about to leave, Casper stormed inside the room and demanded fiercely, "Who did you ask to release the picture?"

Gianna was confused. "What are you talking about?"

Casper placed his mobile on the table and insisted, "Did you do it?"

Gianna read the article about Alvin. Honestly, it made her happy seeing people scold Alvin for cheating and blame Anya for not focusing on him, without giving value to her award. "I don't know about this." She told the truth.

Nonetheless, Casper hissed in annoyance, "You are framed for it."

The lawyer was taken aback. He fished his mobile and checked the video his junior had shared with him. It was a video of a lady whose face was blurred.

[That woman encouraged us to go to Alvin Matthews's suite saying his wife wasn't there. If she could think of ruining her son's life, why would she like Alvin Matthews's son?]

It was Kylie's words from the banquet. Her statement was indirectly linked to the scandal. Thus it was shifting the focus on Gianna for repeatedly framing Alvin.

...

On a private island,

Miles broke the coffee cup when he saw the scandal take a new definition and humiliation directed at somebody else as soon as another video was going viral.
