His Devious Rule-Chapter 338 A Marriage Of Convenience

Right after knowing Alvin was much more than a Matthews, Wilson was eager to bring up their relationship and show to the world he was a progressive man and accepted a stepson.

Probably Alvin would have been happy if Wilson and Janet had accepted him when he had appeared at their door, where he lived with Janet before their marriage.

Alvin wanted to applaud the man in front of him. Was he looking like a fool? Or a kid who could be lured?

He never bothered to look into Wilson's background or get to know about him. Now he found Wilson nothing but gross.

Nevertheless, Alvin looked at Janet, to know if she was also the same kind of person. No, Janet was appalled and stood in shock looking at her husband.

Janet's denial was written all over her face. The queen of the entertainment industry was built on the sacrifice of her first son, fear of getting caught by the media, the anxiety of Gianna Sallow ruining her reputation, countless days of hard work, resent of her family. 𝗳𝔯𝙚e𝒘e𝚋𝘯𝚘ν𝙚l.𝑐o𝙢

When things were finally cooling down, when she was slowly getting along with her family, when she was getting over her fear and anxiety, Janet wanted to have everything just the same.

She didn't expect anything from Alvin. Just like she doesn't acknowledge Alvin, she didn't hope for his acknowledgment. She would be happy for him if he was healthy, had a family, and was unharmed.

However, if their long-held secret was leaked, people would curse her for being a selfish mother, and hate her for being a heartless woman. Her career wasn't over yet. She didn't want to end it that way.

So, how could she agree to ruin her reputation for the greediness of her husband?

Janet shook her head when her eyes met with Alvin. She was expecting him to hate her more, and her reaction to hurt Alvin again. However, it didn't hurt Alvin this time.

Alvin would have felt disgusted if Janet was having the same intention. Despite knowing Janet's intention, Alvin didn't let it affect him.

Nevertheless, he wasn't the gentleman others expected him to be. He was going to hold Janet responsible until he couldn't get rid of the Matthews family from his back. He was going to blame her for everything Anya had to go through at the hands of Gianna, and Zane had to face all these.

Alvin mused in the most relaxed state. "Mrs. Wilson looks like your husband dreaming of walking on my coattails."

The butler Oliver sighed silently. If he ever crossed his lines in his work all these years, it was only twice and for Alvin.

Once when Alvin was young. He had begged Janet to take care of Alvin because Casper could never be a father other than giving a roof and food, Gianna and the Matthews family detested Alvin.

Janet didn't listen to him. Alvin was hurt all these years and never got a chance to heal.

When Anya arrived in Alvin's life, the butler requested Janet to stay away from Alvin. Her mere appearance would scratch Alvin's wounds. Janet didn't listen to him again.

He wanted to call Anya to handle the situation. Not to avoid hurting Janet, but to stop Alvin from recalling the unwanted. Nevertheless, he knew Anya and Zane needed their time to heal themselves from whatever happened in the morning.

On the other hand, Wilson realized Alvin was hearing him for so long to taunt Janet directly and ridicule him. He rebuffed with a hint of annoyance in his tone and upright voice, "Alvin, we are just looking out for you." He sounded generous to add Alvin to their family.

Alvin sniggered. Wilson wasn't looking for him but looking out for himself. He ignored the man who had nothing to do with him and looked at Janet who was ashamed of her husband. There was nothing between them but a marriage of convenience.

Alvin was glad he and Anya weren't like Janet and Wilson or Casper and Gianna. He hoped they wouldn't become like them.

Wilson was a nobody to him. He was able to step in there because of Janet so Alvin spared no word to him but Janet. "You didn't have a room in your house for me, are you dreaming of living me off?" He scoffed.

He would have understood Janet if she had taken care of him as a mother and hidden him due to her career. He wouldn't have cared if she had called him an adopted son.

Anyhow, she didn't have space for him when he appeared at her door, So he had no space for her or her family. Anyway, they weren't going to die if he didn't take them in.

Alvin, who took a step towards the hallway, paused and looked at Janet. "Since you left me for your career, name, and fame, as you have given birth to me, I don't mind burning some money for your career." His voice was cold and his gaze held no feeling for the woman in front of him.

"Alvin…" Elder Collins helplessly interjected. A child is never indebted to their parents for giving birth. It wasn't a transaction. There should be respect, love, and filial piety for their support and love.

He could understand if Alvin doesn't want to see his mother who gave up taking her responsibility as a mother. But they don't have to make the situation more complicated than it is.

Alvin was deaf ears to those Elder Collins attempts. His eyes stayed on Janet's powerless, guilty eyes, "Rob, how trashy it might be, we will be investing in every movie of Mrs. Janet Collins Wilson."

Rob, who was at the door to throw Wilson out, responded immediately, "I will take care of it, boss."

Alvin was walking away before even Rob could complete his words. Rob showed the main door to Wilson who was red in fury. He walked out with his son and daughter. Janet had no choice but to follow her family.

Rob faced Bernard and his wife who probably expected this outcome, "Mr. Collins, shall we arrange your evening banquet outfits here?" Indirectly he was asking what their plan was.

The duo turned to Elder Collins who stood up, "Let those three have their time together. We will call them home for dinner."

The duo agreed to return to the Collins mansion. Mrs. Collins sighed, "I will inform Anya then."

Mrs. Collins who went to the kitchen saw housekeeper Sophia chuckling silently and there was a light giggling voice coming from the kitchen. She couldn't help taking a peek next to the housekeeper.

The aprons and the chief caps were on the three. Zane was giggling while Anya was giving commentary holding the spatula as a microphone. "Here is Chipmunk Monster, with the third egg in his hand."

Alvin was being careful, yet he squashed the egg into the bowl. Zane giggled, looking at the sorry state of the egg while Anya continued her commentary.

"Wonderful, marvelous. How amazing is he! A near supernatural achievement for Alvin Matthews to get all the eggs with their shells into a bowl… Ahh…."

Anya squeaked and ran away with Alvin chasing after her for teasing him. Zane effortlessly broke an egg into the brownie batter, letting his parents play.

Alvin smeared the egg white from his fingers on Anya's cheeks. When Anya pouted pitifully, he stole a kiss before he noticed them. Anya punched him and peeked at her son.

If Alvin could overlook others and be so lively around Anya and Zane, there was no doubt they would live happy life. Mrs. Collins left without any worry about Alvin and assured the other two men.

In the kitchen, Anya rang the bell for the battle, "Baby, attack..."

The housekeeper, Sophia, was speechless watching them throwing flour at each other, turning the kitchen into a battlefield.

After ten minutes, the three stood in front of the housekeeper who was scolding them, "If this is what is called cooking together, I won't allow you three to step into the kitchen. Look, look, so much flour is wasted."

The three turned behind to look at the kitchen floor and counters filled with white powder. Sophia snapped at them, "What are you looking at? Look at yourself. Acting like kids."

Anya lifted Zane's hand, "He is a kid though." Zane nodded adorably.

Sophia could see Anya hiding her smile while Alvin was baffled, "Go and shower. I will cook." Sophia's jaws dropped looking at the trail of flour as the three left.
