His Devious Rule

Claire passed the memory card to the technician, who connected it to the computer and started playing the video that had recorded audio too.

The technician roughly went through the video and played it from the morning. It started when Wilson went close to the car in a suit. Then he disappeared from the camera. There was the sound of the car door opening and closing.

Without knowing what they were looking for, the technician played where there were profound audio waves. The phone was ringing, followed by the audio call from Jordan to Wilson.

Wilson paled, the crowd was in shock when they heard it was all Wilson's plan. If Jordan doesn't cooperate, he would use audio to threaten him.

Wilson screamed, "That's not me. They are fooling us." His eyes halted at Anya who was pretending to be watching the show. He wasn't an idiot to believe this was all the plan of Jordan or Claire.

Gritting his teeth, he pointed at Anya and bellowed, "It's her. She is doing all this," He refrained from swearing at her in front of the media, assuming he still had the chance.

The reporters glanced at Wilson and turned to Anya. They ignored Wilson and gave their attention to Jordan.

Jordan was trying hard not to look at Anya but his uneasiness won over him. He was just in awe facing her. He wasn't sure if he feared her more or if he was admiring her. But the shuddering heart didn't lie to him.

Averting his gaze, he pulled his mobile out, unlocked it, and gave it to Claire. The latter connected his mobile for projection of the screen and opened the voice message sent by Wilson.

When the audio played in the background, Claire made some points, "You can all check the time of the audio received and the number belongs to Mr. Wilson." Then she went towards Wilson.

Wilson's eyes widened. He had forgotten to delete the chat history. He tried to leave but the security of Starlight stopped him. They snatched Wilson's mobile, forced it to unlock by fingerprint, and gave the mobile to Claire.

Claire repeated the same and displayed the time on the screen. She also fished the list of call records to play the audio of his call records. But she ended up playing a voice call that was between Janet and Wilson.

[Janet, listen to me carefully. Alvin was stalking you.] It was Wilson's voice.

Claire furrowed. She was about to end the audio as Anya planned to reveal from the beginning. Nevertheless, she stood calmly when she noticed Anya didn't react to it.

[What!?] Janet's bewildered voice sounded. As if it was enough to trigger her, her panic started immediately without listening to Wilson, [H-he knows I am trying to escape. What am I going to do? What should I do? Nobody should know I gave birth to him. My career, My career will be destroyed. Yo-you, take the case back. I'm not coming back...]

[Janet.] Wilson roared which startled even many reporters in the hall. [I planned all these to pin him down. Do you think you could keep this hidden forever?] Wilson snickered while Janet's breathing was heavy.

Wilson's voice continued, [I knew he would be alarmed by your panic and follow you in case you don't run away like the coward you are.] He ridiculed without an ounce of respect for his wife who he was living off for many years.

[Now you do as I say. Or else, I will reveal to the media that our kids are drug addicts.] Although he intended to use his kids' addiction to threaten Janet, his heinous side was known worldwide.

If he could be so heinous to utter it, couldn't he do it?

Then Wilson announced loudly, [The famous Janet Wilson's children are narcotics.] He paused hearing Janet burst into tears. [Please, don't... Please...]

Her cries fell on deaf ears. Wilson snapped at Janet. [Do you want that life for them?]

The crowd was in utter silence, unable to believe what they just heard. They couldn't believe Wilson threatened Janet with their kids. And Janet was trying to ruin her first son for the well-being of her other two children.

Anya was listening to it the second time yet she felt her rage bubbling in her nerves hearing Wilson. If Wilson was her husband, she would have killed him by now. She doesn't care how Janet was going to suffer, she will make sure Wilson lives a hellish life.

Jordan had called the cops. The show was cut short. Claire seemed to be well-versed in handling the media. So Anya stood up and left from there. She might end up choking Wilson or trash him to death if she stayed any longer.

She had tapped Wilson's mobile network as soon as she had left the oasis mansion with Alvin in the morning. Thus she heard Wilson's call to Jordan and Janet. Wilson had a wonderful plan, but he slipped leaving evidence everywhere.

Rob and the eight guards followed her out. Seeing her bone-chillingly cold, Rob chose to maintain silence without asking where they were going next.

To murder some? Rob kept his thoughts to himself and wondered about the situation at the police station.

.....

At the Police station,

The reporters and fans who were close to Janet ignored their mobiles but most of the people started checking their mobiles when those started ringing or beeping. The gasps and murmur gradually filled the air and the words passed on the lips of people.

To get more TRP and Social media traffic, the media companies started relaying the audio in short videos with attractive titles.

The cops from the station managed to reach Janet and took her toward the entrance.

Janet was perplexed why everyone was using mobile phones together. It couldn't be a coincidence. Her back stiffened when they started looking at her in disgust.

'Pak,' A woman slapped Janet across the face.

The cops dragged the woman inside with Janet while the reporters started shooting their questions, "Janet Wilson, don't you love your first son?"

"How could you and your husband be so vicious?"

"Why did your husband do all these?"

"Are your kids' addicted to drugs?"

The questions went on. Janet who was living in her beautiful glass house, hoping everything to solve staggered on her feet. Her whole world crumbled down. Her struggles came to an end. Her children's lives were ruined. Her career was destroyed. Her family loathes her.

She lost everything.

Janet started feeling dizzy as she imagined people bullying and laughing at her two kids. Tears rolled down her cheeks when reality hit her head. She swayed on her footing. The words and commotion behind her started to fade. Her gaze began to blur with tears before everything fell into darkness.

The cops managed to hold Janet and quickly took her inside the police station. They immediately took her to the resting room and called for a doctor.

.....

People couldn't believe what they were listening to online. The fans slowly scattered. Some were angry, some had no idea what to do. They were overwhelmed by the turn of events.
