His Devious Rule

Anya quickly went to the doctor who is said to be the family doctor of the Matthews family. The doctor was so dedicated to the family that he hadn\'t left the hospital from the night of Casper\'s admittance to the hospital.

How dedicated!

Anya knocked on the door but she pretty much barged into the room without waiting for a response. Considering the multispeciality hospital, the office room of the doctor was pretty decent and well arranged as per the preference of the doctor.

Her eyes fell on the man who was in his forties. He had pepper hair and a healthy build of body. The glasses on his nose bridge make the man appear stoic.

As per her very basic information gathering, the doctor was talented and rose to fame when he started handling the Matthews charity fund to help the poor get medical care.

There was a time when Anya used to admire wealthy families for doing charity. Just a few years back she learned it was all gimmick for publicity, marketing, and tax concession.

Liam ignored the person who entered the room and demanded the doctor, "I don\'t understand why there is a complication when you said the operation was smooth and successful. You assured me there was no problem." Or else they would have brought the best cardiologist or they would have shifted Casper to the hospital which had the best cardiologist.

The doctor identified Anya. He had the confidence to handle Liam but Anya Owen. As soon as he met the confident but cold gray eyes peering through his soul, his palms and soles became sweaty and his heart started to pick speed.

He probably would have been calm if Casper hadn\'t warned him about Anya. He breathed slowly to keep his cool and ignored her.

He responded to Liam most skillfully. "CEO Matthews, the operation was successful but that isn\'t the only criteria for the patient to face complications."

His tone increased slightly, "Chairman Matthews was working before dinner. He is worried about the company. Haven\'t I told you he needs complete rest without stress?" He professionally blamed Liam. "So stop blaming us."

Liam: "…"

Anya glanced at Liam who was being told that he was incapable, hence his father has to worry about the company even when lying on the hospital bed. She wondered if Casper knew what Liam was going through because of his selfish acts.

The doctor paused when he realized that he was a bit too direct while trying to stop Liam.

He toned down and looked concerned when he spoke again, considering the two knew each other for decades, "You need to calm down. Trust me, I will only do the best for your father. Please take care at the company so that he won\'t be under a lot of stress." He assured him, hoping for Liam to get busy at the company. That would avoid him from lying again and again.

Liam nodded in understanding. He was that easy to fool. Probably because he had no inkling of the drama playing around.

Anya could only sigh at that. While trying to have control over the company, Casper had taken care of scheming business and the cruel world. Thus Liam had turned into a puppet who did the paperwork for projects, handled the internal company meetings, and faced the media.

Before the doctor could conclude the talk and send Liam away, Anya questioned, "According to the butler, Chairman Matthews was in pain a few hours ago. Why hasn\'t his condition stabilized yet?" It was hard to miss the interrogation tone of Office Owen.

Liam again became all ears while the doctor took a few seconds to compose while pretending to be cautious of Anya Owen. Instead of answering Anya and complicating the situation, he taunted her to send her away, "Mrs. Matthews, don\'t you think you and your husband should be the least worried." Then he ordered her, "Don\'t come to the hospital and stress my patient."

Then he turned to Liam and sternly warned him, "CEO Matthews if you want your father to recover soon, keep this couple away from him." He scoffed, glancing at Anya, "I can\'t assure you of Chairman Matthews if he has another heart attack."

Liam clenched his teeth. It was an undeniable truth that Casper was under a mountain of stress because of Alvin. If their presence causes more complications, Liam didn\'t want them to visit Casper.

Anya was stunned for a moment. She wanted to appreciate the flawless acting of the doctor. He truly caught her off balance.

Nevertheless, she was being good and interrogating. Does the doctor want it the hard way? Anya was the best at that.

She pulled the chair and sat on it. Taking her own time, she leaned back, scrutinizing the doctor. Her lips curled into a lopsided smirk watching the doctor hold his breath and bemused.

Crossing her legs, Anya mused, contempt apparent in her voice, "Get me arrested. Your patient\'s life is at risk because of me."

Doctor and Liam: "…"

While Liam was clueless, the doctor broke into a sweat unable to meet her frosty eyes. He glanced at the telephone, itching to call security to send her out but he was afraid of overdoing it and alerting her.

Swallowing hard, the doctor tried to discipline her, "Mrs. Matthews, this is a hospital. You can\'t behave like this here."

Anya\'s lips curled into O as she looked around in the room, "Is this hospital?" Her gaze slowly settled on the doctor. Her eyes narrowed at the man and snickered, "Isn\'t it a setup for a drama show?"

\'A setup?\'

\'A drama show?\'

Liam frowned without understanding what she was trying to say. It wasn\'t making any sense. Well, He missed witnessing the doctor\'s eyes go wide as saucers.

Anya dialed a number and instructed once the call was answered, "I want every last person involved in this drama in the office of the lead actor."

She was ending the call when Liam questioned her in bafflement, "What are you trying to say?"

The doctor was panicked. He wasn\'t ready to believe Anya knew about the plan. "She is making a scene." He blurted out.

He was handling everything smoothly so far. So he assumed there was no proof and Anya was trying to scare him. "She and her husband don\'t want your father to get the treatment. Get her out of here."

\'Clap... Clap... Clap...\'

Anya added as she clapped, "And the best actor award goes to Doctor Stewart. Congratulations."

Liam: "..."
