His Devious Rule

Chapter 567 Sinners



Chapter 567  Sinners

Yes, Anya was going to leave Casper helpless in his plan. But that doesn't mean she will boast about herself or give a motivational speech concerning her journey.

Instead of the publicity of herself or negative news on the Matthews family, her main aim of the event was the seminar.

Thus Anya has to quickly shift the attention of students. Just picking the topic wasn't enough hence she added some changes to the start of her seminar.

She spoke heading towards her laptop while addressing the student audience, "This modern era is a world of rapid growth in technology."

Casper stiffened when a thought crossed his mind after hearing her words. Did Anya hack all the microphones?

Is that even possible?

Anya continued without a pause, "A few minutes of cyber activity is enough to ruin the reputation built over decades."

She clicked on a button on her laptop and mused, "Just like this."

A small video of a cartoon man loading a gun with a bullet and firing at them began displaying on the screen. The whole hall hushed to silence, understanding Anya had hacked the university network from her laptop.

They glanced at her. She made everything look so easy.

But the next second, many broke into fits of laughter when the bullet shot back at the cartoon man, making him dizzy and fall on the floor.

Casper's expression was ugly watching it. He was wise to deduce the cartoon man on the screen was him — a fool who was making fun of himself by trying to trick her.

Anya softly shrugged her shoulders, "Not everyone will play a funny video when they hack." The LED Screen displayed the title of Network Security by the end of her words. "They steal critical information."

Then Anya began briefing about how important it was to protect the network. Following that, she continued with the requirement of ethical hacking to solve cyber crimes.

She added small videos, and pictures in her presentation to make the students understand in easy words and methods. Thus the seminar completed smoothly in an hour.

Whereas most of the guests and the reporters were yawning in boredom, without understanding what was happening.

Zane tried to understand his mother's first seminar but it wasn't his cup of milk. By the time he was checking the meaning of one word, he was losing track. Alvin had to ease the little guy to play games on mobile and Anya wouldn't mind.

In the end, Anya gave an overview of the jobs available for ethical hackers and network security engineers.

It was exactly thirty past eleven when she completed her seminar and took a seat, looking calm and composed as though she wasn't the one who was speaking for so long.

She didn't want the seminar to be boring, grave which makes one sleepy. But to be informational while being interactive, and demonstrative by adding fun elements to have the attention was draining. She drank water while an active microphone was passed to the students.

Initially, the students asked their doubts about the seminar as it slowly turned to her job, the problems and competition females will have to face, and the awards she has received so far. Those were innocent questions filled with curiosity.

Anya calmly responded to all the questions ignoring the reporters' efforts to get her attention.

It was past twelve when Rob made his way upstairs and whispered to her. "Young Madam, you will have to leave now to avoid the media."

It was necessary to avoid the attending media reporters because those were there for some juicy news about her and her relationship with the Matthews family.

She can't talk for the Matthews family. Talking against them had a more negative impact on her image. Thus avoiding the reporters was the best choice.

Anya was aware of it but she couldn't just leave from there abruptly, could she? What if her actions affect Alvin and Skylark?

Rob continued when her eyes shifted to Alvin, "I will take care of the rest." He meant closure to the event, meeting the dean, and the reason behind their departure.

Anya anyway wasn't interested in entertaining those reporters and their questions. Standing up, she sincerely said looking at the crowd, "Thank you, everyone." She handed the microphone to Rob and went backstage with her laptop.

While the Owen couple, Krystle, Alvin, Zane, and Anya departed, Rob gave the thank you speech stating they wouldn't delay the lunchtime. Alvin had arranged food for all the students in the canteen, he instructed the Skylark guards to direct the students.

The reporters failed to follow Anya and others as they used the stage exit and other auditorium exits were tightly shut.

When the doors finally opened, they missed out on meeting Anya. When they looked back inside the auditorium, Casper had disappeared from everyone's sight.

––––––

Bewildered, Casper sat in his Maybach and tried to process what happened in the last six hours.

He had gone through the whole event itinerary, looked into every speech, and corrected all scripts. He instructed the stage guests to address Anya as Mrs. Mathews to make it the highlight.

Anyway, even after so many changes, he still managed to sit through the program and hoped to take control at the end of the event.

The end of the event was planned as the emcee will be inviting Alvin, and Zane on the stage with him and taking a family picture… To be precise, it was a group picture. The reporters are supposed to be swarming them and raining questions when they walk out together.

Willingly or reluctantly, Anya and Alvin were supposed to talk well in front of the media. However, Anya and Alvin didn't give anybody a chance to react.

He couldn't believe all his efforts were in vain.

––––

Zane pursed his lips, looking at Alvin who tricked him into the Mercedes G63 and took Anya with him to the Rolls Royce Phantom.

Nevertheless, he grinned when he saw Anya slap Alvin's arm and made a sad face looking at him.

Ignoring the no-pain slap, Alvin pretended to be angry, "Anya Owennn…" His grim voice trailed as soon as Anya faced him and asked him, without hiding her concern.

"Alvin, those reporters will write sh*t about us that we have fled from there."

Alvin's lips were twitching into an attractive smirk looking at her panic. She never fails to amuse him. While she is a crafty officer, she doesn't mind showing her naivety to him.

Anya: "…"

She didn't crack a joke, did she?

Before she lands a punch on him, Alvin eased her tension, "Little Donut, it wasn't a press conference." So she had all the right to ignore the reporters.

Anya: 😯

Right. Now Skylark can sue the media companies on her behalf if they dare to write nonsense.

Alvin continued, "You have answered all the students about your awards." So the aim of the Award Recognition ceremony was also achieved.

Anya nodded in amazement as she gave him a thumbs up. She sighed, stating her dislike, "These politics, media, and business things go over my head." A small, negligible action could make or break one's life.

However, Alvin observed his wife who was donning a suit at ease, & confidence and also looking fabulous. "Little Donut…"

He mused when he heard her hum in response, "You could be anything you want." He genuinely believes she could ace the business field with some experience.

A faint blush crept up her face hearing him. She didn't know if it was true or possible but it felt good to hear from him.

Meeting his enamored gaze, she gave a lingering kiss on his lips and told him. "Sweetheart, you are smitten." She didn't know if it was just the honeymoon period of their life but she was going to treasure every minute of their moments.

Alvin lazily drawled, brushing his fingers on her pink cheek, drowning in her dimples, "Am I?"

Removing her heels, Anya moved her back towards Alvin who instinctively supported her back with his arm and wrapped another around her waist. He silently watched her take her laptop, and go through a file that had collected the details of laptops and computers that tried to hack into her laptop.

That's the crafty officer Owen. She showed the people she was in the university network by hacking whereas it was just an invitation to the sinners to fall to their damned knees.

He truly wondered why she was so calm against Casper Matthews. It was just a child's play for her to destroy Casper and the Matthews Industries.

"Little Donut," His low, deep, velvety voice next to her ear, brought fresh dimples, and a beautiful smile on her face as she hummed in response.

"Why are you going easy on Casper Matthews?" And her fingers paused and her expression turned a bit complex.
