Chapter 436: 436 My Wife

In the Deputy Chief's office room,

Once he completed sorting some files, Warner sat down and ordered coffee for the three. He opened a file on the table as he mused, "It seems... Ms. Owen has solved the case." Or else why would she sit so relaxed without worry or panic?

Considering how swiftly she used to deal with the crime scene and gather evidence, he was sure five years made her a master.

Wilson was delusional, to assume he had everything under his control when he was against one of the top officers. One should fear facing the officer who was being awarded and Wilson was dumb enough to plan against her. What's more, Wilson had no idea it was an offense to manipulate the cops.

So Warner was double sure Anya was going to destroy Wilson's life before he made sure Wilson would suffer in the prison.

Anya plainly brushed off the question. "I trust Deputy Warner and your team to solve the case." She will give them the proof when the time is right.

It's a pity that Alvin will have to be in the interrogation room for a long time. She could only hope the team gathers evidence against Wilson and releases Alvin.

She refused to use the anticipatory bail due to the judgemental media writing nasty things about Alvin. This was also a lesson for Alvin to be careful of his actions. They might be strong enough to protect themselves, they shouldn't let people harm them in any way.

Warner, who was irked due to Wilson's game, found himself laughing at her words. She would always double-check the team's work just to make sure no one was taking her lightly or tricking her or testing her intelligence. Thus Anya trusts nobody but herself.

Anya pretended to be deaf for the laughter. Rob stayed utterly mute while hearing them. He could say Warner had worked with Anya and he highly respects her. Whereas Anya was distant and didn't use her influence to make things easy for herself.

This woman wasn't suited to be a housewife or a dean. Did she really resign? Rob's suspicion was getting stronger day by day.

'Knock, knock...'

Captain Richard entered the room after knocking on the door. He paused looking at Anya's back. They don't discuss the case and its progress in front of the people related to it.

He reported when Warner waited for his words without sending Anya out, "Deputy Warner, Alvin Matthews accepted that he asked his men to follow Janet Wilson."

He glanced at Anya who didn't react to his words. He continued, "Then he was quiet and... asked for his wife." He wondered if Alvin would demand Anya to get him out of the room.

After all, who would like to sit in the cold interrogation room?

Anya and Rob: "..."

Both were sure Alvin was playing around. He had nothing important to say or discuss with Anya.

Warner looked at Anya whose expression had slightly changed before she looked aloof. Why would Alvin keep his men behind his biological mother?

Was it for security purposes? Is there something they should know?

Warner instructed Richard, "Then bring Ms. Owen to her husband." He added as his eyes tried to note any change in expression of Anya, "Not more than ten minutes." Only a lawyer could stay longer so he kept the rules the same for Anya.

Richard guided Anya out so Rob went to the waiting area. Rob watched Warner and Richard go to the adjacent room to snoop on the couple's talk. He pitied the two men and sat down.

...

In the interrogation room,

Anya heard the complaint as soon as she entered. "Little Donut, what am I going to do sitting here alone?" His mobile was confiscated, and he couldn't use his laptop. It was the perfect way to irk him.

Anya was ready to take care of her childish husband. She went inside to sit in front of him. But Alvin yanked her to his lap and sighed loudly, "I could stay here with you." Snaking his arm around her waist, he watched her lips threatening to arc.

Anya tried to put on a straight face but chuckled. They were floating in an endless ocean, of course, he could stay with her in a room without gadgets. "Alvin..." She tried to get off his lap but he secured her with his arms, "Stop fooling around."

Alvin reasoned, "You are my wife." It wasn't fooling around but romancing his wife.

Anya forced her smile away hearing his smug voice. She pointed her chin at the door, "Anybody could enter anytime." It would be embarrassing to get caught sitting on his lap in the interrogation room.

Alvin shrugged his shoulders and used the same reason, "You are my wife, Little Donut." She should be glad he didn't make her straddle him.

Anya was tongue-tied. Her husband could be as unreasonable as he could, despite knowing it wasn't an appropriate place for them to behave as such.

She turned to the glass panel on the wall. Alvin wasn't escorted to the visiting room to meet her. The interrogation room didn't only have a camera, one could watch and hear them from the monitor room.

Her chin had just moved to point it out, Alvin used the same reason "Sweetheart, you are my wife."

Why does he have to hide or mind others?

It isn't a crime to romance his wife, is it?

Anya gave up reasoning with him or being logical. Her soft voice hardened and her finger tugged at his collar, "Alvin Matthews, I will bite you if you don't..."

He snickered, "Little Donut, you can't." He provoked her and hissed when her teeth nipped his cheek.

Warner and Richard: "..."

They oddly anticipated the couple to sit opposite each other and discuss like old serious people. They hadn't expected to see the cold, overbearing, apathetic couple flirt in the interrogation room. They won't be able to see Anya the same anymore.

Rob snickered when he caught Warner and Richard exiting the room in a matter of seconds. His boss was very talented in leaving people baffled.

...

In the second interrogation room,

Richard went to question Wilson. He closed the door watching Wilson. Unlike how Wilson had lost his cool a few minutes back, Wilson was at ease and relaxed.

Richard sat down with a set of papers and asked straight away, "Mr. Wilson, what is your relationship with Alvin Matthews?"

Wilson didn't lie as he had been to the Oasis mansion a few times, "He is my stepson."

"Stepson!" Richard mused as he leaned back and watched Wilson and his every reaction, "So Mr. Wilson, why did your stepson stalk your wife?"

Wilson was cool-headed by assuming it was just a protocol before announcing Alvin as the culprit. Instead of answering it, he brushed off the question, "How will I know, Captain Richard? You should ask him."

Richard nodded. These weren't the main questions. He was going to trap Wilson in his responses, "Why didn't you mention your relation with Alvin Matthews?"

Wilson was prepared for these questions so he easily responded, "Alvin never had a good relationship with us. So it must have slipped my mind to mention."

Of course, they don't have a good relationship. Or else why would Wilson bombard them the whole night to arrest Alvin Matthews?

It was time to confuse Wilson, "Why does Alvin Matthews hate you guys?"

Wilson furrowed at the question. He was indeed making Alvin a bad guy but the direct question was a bit hard to respond to. "I don't really know."

"But I heard the Wilson family doesn't want to have Alvin." Richard just made it up.

Wilson felt wronged. Although his intention wasn't pure, he had tried to get close to Alvin. He said in a spur of a moment, "He isn't accepting us."

Richard noted the point and asked immediately, "If he doesn't want to have any association with you, why would he put his men behind Janet Collins?"

Shouldn't Alvin avoid them like a virus?

Wilson: 😳

Flustered, beads of cold sweat started appearing on his forehead. He swallowed hard and unawarely rubbed his hands. He stuttered when he tried to respond, "You-You should ask him."

Richard was skeptical of Wilson and his actions. The more he spoke with Wilson, he was getting convinced that Wilson was trapping Alvin. He was getting curious to know the truth.
