His Devious Rule

"Aunt Kylie, you can meet my daddy once I approve of you. So let\'s talk."

Kylie was bewildered yet again. What was wrong with this Matthews family? Gianna sent her to Alvin, Alvin\'s son was approving of ladies who will sleep with Alvin. Does Zane love his mother? She never knew the rich families were so disgusting.

What is it to her? She sat down with a smile. "Then what should I do to get your approval, Zane?"

Zane smiled. First, he took Kylie\'s details and started auditions giving different scenarios and judging her acting skills.

Kylie felt her head spin after acting in different characters in a short time. She played the role of a lady who had the mind of a little kid, a girl who got dumped, a pitiful servant, a fierce villain, a shy daughter-in-law, a rebellious daughter, and whatnot. She smiled, laughed, cried, danced, and cleaned the dining table.

Zane wasn\'t done yet, "Aunt Kylie, one last scenario…" Zane was surprised Kylie was such a good actress. But he won\'t forgive her for trying to cross his mother.

Kylie nodded, unwillingly giving up after doing so much.

"Aunt Kylie, imagine you had a love marriage. You loved your husband more than anything. You couldn\'t think of living without your husband. But he suddenly dies in an accident. How will you react after seeing his body?"

Kylie closed her eyes and started getting herself into another character but Zane jumped off the couch and stopped. "Aunt Kylie, wait." Zane ran inside the room and returned with makeup-removing wipes. "Makeup won\'t be good for this part."

Kylie: "…"

She looked at Rob and Zane. She didn\'t dare to say anything to Zane about meeting Rob\'s murderous gaze. She unwillingly received the wipes and removed her makeup looking at Zane\'s eager face.

Getting into the character, she started wailing, talking about his promises, and their dreams by making her dialogues. Even Rob found himself feeling the pain of the character.

Alvin, who heard the cry, rushed out. Although Kylie\'s acting was mind-blowing, he couldn\'t believe Zane made her cry and removed her makeup without resorting to violence.

\'Ring.\'

Alvin had to open the door when Rob took a moment to compose. Kylie stopped and Zane genuinely complimented her as he clapped for Kylie\'s skills. "Aunt Kylie, you are amazing."

Right after his words, they heard a mellow, spoiled voice of a lady, "I am tired." Her voice trailed.

Turning to the door, they saw Anya burying herself in Alvin\'s arms with her eyes closed.

Kylie hurriedly stood up from the floor wiping her tears. Although she held prejudice against Anya for having a baby and being an ex-cop, she found Anya cute in her short hair and simple outfit.

She saw Alvin\'s lips faintly arc, holding Anya in his arms like a priceless treasure.

"Momma…" Zane sprinted to his mother.

As if all the exhaustion was gone in a second, Anya smiled and chuckled looking at Zane with a towel around his waist. "Did my baby miss me?" She indulgently asked Zane.

Zane nodded vigorously and wrapped his arms around Anya\'s neck when she hugged him.

Kylie paled when Anya turned to her. Will Anya do something to her? She stammered, grabbing her bag and trying to flee, "I-I should go…"

Zane spoke before she could leave, "Momma, Ms. Kylie is wonderful at acting. But she hardly got a chance. Do you think we could help her?" He could guess why Kylie must have wanted to seduce his father. If she knows her worth, she won\'t covet his father, right?

Kylie, Rob, and Alvin: "…"

Kylie couldn\'t believe Zane wasn\'t complaining but trying to help her.

Alvin knew this compassion in the Little Brat wasn\'t from his genes but from Anya.

Zane quickly grabbed the iPad from the couch and handed it to Anya, "I recorded Ms. Kylie\'s Performance." He hoped they could help her in some way.

Kylie: "..."

Anya didn\'t have to check the recording. Her son wouldn\'t lie to her. But how could she help somebody in the entertainment Industry?

After thinking about it, Anya suggested to Kylie, "Ms. Kylie, I understand the entertainment industry is more than just looks and acting. If I may suggest, why don\'t you contact some social media accounts and release some snippets of this video?" She was sure Kylie would know about such influential accounts.

"If you create some buzz with your skills, you will win the netizens and gain followers. This attention will bring you some chances. If you make use of it, one day we might go to watch your movies."

Zane smiled hearing his mother who always takes his words seriously. He hugged her leg, "Momma is best."

Kylie watched the mother and son. When she was wiping her makeup, she had realized Alvin called her a toy for Zane. She was obedient because she didn\'t want Alvin to destroy her career.

She didn\'t expect Zane was recording it the whole time and asked for help from his mother when he knew why she was there to meet Alvin.

What hit her hard was Anya\'s reaction. Anya didn\'t question who she was and why she was there. Anya didn\'t offer money or a connection. Anya was suggesting her way through her talent.

Anya waited for Kylie\'s reaction or any response but it didn\'t come. Alvin took her inside, passing the iPad to Rob, "Send her the video."

Zane waited for his mother to enter the room and looked at Kylie. He did help her without getting angry as his father was ruthless enough to use her to keep him entertained. So he advised, "Ms. Kylie, I won\'t let you hurt my momma." Then he went to the bedroom.

Rob received her email address and sent her the video. He also opened the door for her. Zane wouldn\'t let anybody hurt his mother, yet he chose to help Kylie. Taking Anya\'s quick-wittedness, he was sure Anya identified what had happened there. Yet she wholeheartedly gave a suggestion. These two were worthy of admiration.

Kylie knew she was wrong but when the industry had a lot of people with strong backgrounds, the talents won\'t matter. But after seeing the family of three, she was overcome with guilt and revealed everything to Rob.

"Gianna Sallow encouraged me and other girls to find Alvin Matthews. She gave me the room number and told me that Alvin Matthews\'s wife wasn\'t here yet." She bowed and walked out without knowing she solved half of their confusion.

Rob dialed the security chief and revealed, "Rick, There is a mole in the surveillance room. He is in contact with Gianna Sallow. Before he gets the video of a lady entering and leaving the suite, find him."

There was no one when they went to the swimming pool, yet somebody had called the kitchen and given an order. Alvin had changed the suite, only people who knew it was standing right there. Others who could know were the ones in the monitoring room. So he took action before the video leaked.

–––––––––––

In Ean\'s suite,

"Have you realized you are protecting the one who is trying to harm us?"

Ean\'s father went silent at the question. He was worried Ean would be hurt. He didn\'t want Ean to cause trouble after knowing about the person. It didn\'t cross his mind that Ean might go back to Alvin and be a target without doing anything to the instigator.

Ean wanted to begin the party so he forced himself to cool down, "Dad, I will see you at home. Please leave."

"It was Gianna Sallow." Mother Watson blurted out, "We were greeting the Matthews when Gianna said \'Ean came late. He went to 302 to get ready.\' So we came here."

302? The East wing was blocked. How could Gianna know about the room number he was in?

Father Watson uneasily reported, "I got a call in the morning from a man through an unknown number. The number is not reachable now."

Ean immediately called Rob, [Rob, Gianna is up to something at the party.]
