His Devious Rule

Jason knew about Anya\'s traumatic experience throughout her pregnancy. He had also sent her for therapy and appointed her only when she was announced to be fit for the position.

Since the cyber security team couldn\'t win against Anya with their performance, they were attacking her and the Team ace in ways.

Jason looked back at the chief justice. The chief justice might be compassionate but he wouldn\'t tolerate anybody pointing their finger at the Team Ace as it was specially created under his supervision.

If there is a problem within the team or any secret service officers, Team Ace would dissolve right after the retirement of the current chief justice, considering the project a failure.

Jason wouldn\'t let that happen until he is the chief of Team Ace. He placed the file back and confidently took his team member\'s side. "We don\'t interfere with the personal life of an officer." He believed Anya wouldn\'t have hidden anything from reporting to him if that would affect her performance in her job.

The cyber security chief scoffed, ready to taunt but the latter continued, looking at him coldly, "And, for your kind information, Anya Owen resigned a month ago." A fake resignation.

The chief justice relaxed. He had almost forgotten their plan. Anyway, he could get an update about Anya\'s health once the cyber security chief leaves.

\'Resigned?\' The cyber security chief couldn\'t understand why Anya would leave her job when she was so young and could achieve more in the department.

Anyway, he twisted his words, "Exactly, she left the job before you could find out she was mentally ill. She is unqualified for the Presidential award."

Jason\'s lips curled into a lopsided smile when the truth finally came out of his lips and fell on the chief justice\'s ears. He sat right opposite the man and waited to see him getting slapped.

"What did you say?" It was the grim voice of the chief justice who referred Anya for the award. Calling Anya unqualified is the same as calling him inefficient.

"Err–" The cyber security chief stood up uneasily looking at an angered chief justice. He couldn\'t understand how Jason always turns around the situation. "I- I mean we-we should reconsider Anya Owen for the award."

"And who do you think you are to reconsider?" The Chief Justice had thought it was about the officer\'s health and performance. He couldn\'t believe it was jealousy.

"Assistant Wen." The chief Justice grunted and his assistant arrived in a hurry and stood by the side, "Sir?"

"I want the competence report of this officer. Get him out of my sight." He ordered.

Once there were only two left in the living room, the chief Justice demanded, "Perform the eligibility test of Officer Owen before the mission starts." If Anya had visited the psychiatrist, he wanted a complete report of her condition.

An eligibility test of all the Team Ace is conducted at the beginning of every year. If Anya fails in even one of them, Jason would personally announce her ineligibility and remove her from Team Ace. However, it would nowhere affect her accomplishments so far.

"Sure."

However, as a part of Team Ace, he was also concerned about her condition. So he tried to reach her over the call but the mobile was switched off. Pulling the car aside, he dialed Alvin\'s numbers through the satellite phone.

–––––

In the Rolls Royce,

Alvin frowned looking at the odd string of digits. Recalling who his wife is, "Little Donut, this must be for you!?"

Seeing her nod in affirmation, Passing his mobile to her, he peeled his little enemy away from her arms and placed him on his lap.

Jason wouldn\'t have reached her through Alvin\'s mobile if there was nothing crucial. So she ignored two who were trying to intimidate each other with angry staring and answered the call.

"Chief." She greeted him.

[How are you doing?] It was a serious voice of Jason.

Anya: "..."

She looked at the mobile and placed it back at her ear, "Chief?" There was a hint of confusion. That couldn\'t be an important call for him to reach her.

Having a normal conversation with Officer Owen was impossible. Jason came to the point, [Your visit to the psychiatric department of Imperial hospital has come to the attention of Cyber Chief.] And she was smart enough to know what would happen by it.

Anya clenched her fist, digging her nails into her palms. She was aware officers shouldn\'t have any kind of fear and that their mental health should be stable. She hadn\'t thought of her PTSD as she always passed the eligibility test every year.

After her treatment started, she was so busy with the problems, it hadn\'t crossed her mind that it could cause trouble at her job.

"I\'m sorry for not informing you prior. I will submit the necessary documents and follow up the procedures."

[Take your time.] He already knows the Matthews family situation.

"Thank you, Chief. Sorry for the trouble." Anya sighed when the call ended.

Looks like all the problems are trying to suffocate her together. If she is announced as unfit, then she will have to back off and resign for real.

"What\'s wrong, Momma?"

"What\'s wrong, Little Donut?"

Anya turned to the two humans who asked her in unison. She didn\'t want to bother them with her troubles. So she dramatically gasped and pointed at the phone, "I just got to know you two were lovers from the past life."

"Implausible!!" Both exclaimed in unison and snorted at each other.

Anya burst into laughter, "I am very convinced." Then the two argued Anya was their lover from the past life, leaving her entertained.

Nevertheless, Anya was bothered about her mental health is an obstacle to her job. She wouldn\'t have minded if she decided to leave the job. However, if she becomes ineligible, she will blame herself for not receiving the treatment sooner.

\'Congratulations, Gianna Sallow. I have yielded to your plan.\'

Gianna was winning while staying in the prison. Her efforts to ruin Alvin\'s life might not have been successful, it was anyway going to affect Anya\'s job.

While fighting for Anya\'s lovers in the past life, the duo noticed Anya was sighing repeatedly. Both looked at each other and came to a tacit understanding the call was the reason.

Alvin let go of Zane who climbed on the armrest and went to Anya\'s lap, "Chipmunk Monster, I will let you be my mommy\'s lover. I am going to be her Baby." He looked at Anya and asked sweetly, "Isn\'t it momma?"

Anya snapped out hearing Zane. What if she loses her job? She wasn\'t a loser. Her parents are proud of her, her son loves her and her husband could put the whole world behind her.

She cuddled her son and agreed with him, "Of course, Baby. If there are more lives, I want you in each one as my baby."

Alvin smugly reminded her, looking away from the two, "Then don\'t forget to find me in every life." After all his little enemy was a product of two.

While Zane was speechless at the last winning goal by his father, Anya giggled. "Why not? Don\'t give me a hard time."

Behind the scenes:

Rob was being dumb and deaf in the car.

Casper\'s eyes were wide as saucers looking at the Presidential award recipient.
