The Traps of Black Swan

Seeing the door open without a knock, Aarvi was confused if Aaron canceled his business trip and returned. A second was enough to make her excited but her curled lips twitched uncontrollably looking at Mother Fisher stomping towards her.

Aarvi's face smoothly turned serene without revealing any emotions of displeasure. She couldn't believe Naomi sent her mother because of telling her to resign. 

Before the door could close, Alex and the other two rushed in like a lightning and blocked the middle-aged woman before she could cross the desk to reach Aarvi.

Alex's voice was unemotional which Aarvi could feel he was controlling himself from being harsh, "Mrs. Fisher, be civil else we will have to take action."

Mrs. Fisher failed to push him away and saw Aarvi still sitting calmly like an empress watching an unimpressive play. "You wretched girl, what do you think of yourself? Don't take yourself as high and mighty just because you have Aaron backing you."

Aarvi didn't react. If things have to be carried out formally, the hospital and Ruby Brown should file a complaint and send Naomi to prison. She can also sue Naomi for instigating an artist to seize her psychological trauma.

Yet she let Naomi off easily to respect Elder Rivas's decision. If the Fisher family has to behave, they should request her and Aaron to let Naomi work in the hospital but she was being blamed.

"Even a rat is cute for the person who gave birth." She thought aloud which pissed off the woman more.

Alex had to bear the woman's claws on his jacket that was trying hard to pierce inside as she tried to push him like a madwoman, "You wench, you are the one who is a rat, you are lowly than a rat who doesn't have any family."

Instead of getting offended, Aarvi leaned her head on her knuckles by supporting her elbow on the desk. "No family?" She muttered looking at the struggling woman, then she nodded in agreement, "Right, I am not a rat. I am a Phoenix who rose from the ashes. So I don't have parents." She simply stated like reading a report.

Bemused, Alex and the other two Shadow team members turned to her having no words for her. They wanted to applaud her in appreciation for leaving Mrs. Fisher speechless.

Mrs. Fisher opened and closed her mouth repeatedly like goldish in the water but no words came out looking at Aarvi who didn't look like she was joking.

For a moment, she felt like it might be true looking at her unforgettable smile and her dazzling eyes. Her skin looked so flawless and radiant that a rough touch could stain her beauty.

Anyhow, she snapped back soon remembering her daughter sitting like a log in the investigation room. "What nonsense are you speaking? Have you lost your mind?" She asked irritatingly.

Her hand moved and she pointed to the door as she ordered Aarvi, "You better go and take the complaint back."

'Complaint?' Aarvi was initially perplexed before it struck her that Aaron had his plans. Taking Aaron's personality, Aarvi didn't find it surprising.

She wanted to ask about the details but the door flung open and Karsen sighed seeing Alex and others stopping unbalanced Mother Fisher from harming Aarvi.

"Uncle Karsen." Aarvi greeted as she stood up.

Mrs. Fisher crazily yelled at Karsen, "Brother Karsen, see, this is what you get from having an uncultured woman in the house."

Karsen ignored her and reached Aarvi, his eyes checked her top to toe and breathed another sigh of relief seeing her completely fine before standing in front of her.

"Aarvi, did you know Aaron asked to file a complaint?" He asked with a faint smile to avoid making her worry.

Aarvi shook her head, "Nope, uncle. I just discerned hearing Mrs. Fisher. Naomi Fisher was going out of hand so I had asked her to resign but…" She didn't complete it.

Karsen nodded, "I spoke to Doctor Brown and his sister. Chief XXX is very angry at her behavior. Why didn't you tell us she was troubling you?"

Mrs. Fisher: "..."

She felt like a clown looking at the duo talking like a close father and daughter, especially seeing Karsen worried about Aarvi.

Aarvi smiled in hesitation, "It wasn't that serious. I thought she was smart to back off soon."

Karsen didn't like her sympathetic behavior towards Naomi, "Aarvi, just like how you measure the project right at the start point, you shouldn't accommodate fickle-minded people. If you tolerate it once, you should get rid of it the second time before it's too late to handle."

Aarvi glanced at bubbling up Mrs. Fisher who had her whole attention on her and Karsen so she whispered going a little closer to him, "I didn't want our stupidity to affect the families' long-term relationship."

Karsen shook his head in resignation. 

Only after talking to her did he feel Aarvi and Ava didn't really have many differences. Aarvi was just a powerful and heedful form of Ava Kelly who doesn't let people near her but the same responsible girl with closed ones.

He gently rubbed her head, "Silly girl! Go, that little girl was crying for you. I will handle this."

'Lara woke up? It's just been half-past two hours.' Aarvi thought before closing her laptop and walked away while Mrs. Fisher yelled at her, "Hey, you, where are you going? Bring my daughter out now."

Aarvi behaved dumb and deaf as she left the office. She was glad her ears could calm down but felt bad for leaving work on Karsen. She wanted to call Aaron but he would be on a flight, followed by meeting with Coasta city administration people to talk about the recent issue.

So she sighed and decided to push the thought behind to keep Lara happy so that the little girl could forget her pain for some time.

She still had no idea behind the main reason Naomi was in the police station.

In Aaron's office room, a hint of surprise flashed in Karsen's eyes for seeing Skylar's blue flying bird logo on a document that Aarvi was checking. 

Anyway, he didn't bother about it and looked at Mrs. Fisher. She seemed like she wanted to run behind Aarvi, given a chance she wouldn't mind grabbing Aarvi's hair.

His face turned poker and voice steely that caused Mrs. Fisher to stumble a step back, "Madam Fisher, instead of coming here to create a nuisance that is damaging your reputation, I suggest you convince your daughter to confess her wrongdoings."

Mrs. Fisher wanted to argue but the power Karsen was wielding was too high for her to say anything back on his face. 

Karsen continued with his voice turned even colder with a hint of a serious threat, "Next time, if I hear any foul words for my daughter-in-law, I will have to forget you are an elder to me and a lady. I hope you know the way out without the security escort you out."

In simple words he asked her to leave or else he will call security to kick her out.

As though a bucket of icy cold water poured over her, she was trembling like an autumn leaf fluttering in the air while she walked out.

She was filled with anger and also grief having no way to bring Naomi out.
