The Traps of Black Swan

Aarvi unlocked Sanders's phone by the face recognition on his phone. She pointed to Martin's mobile screen to everyone and called the recent number on Sanders's phone.

Martin gritted his teeth. His dialogue to waver them came sooner. So was taking each step after deliberating over his attacks.

Aarvi pointed both the mobiles to everyone as she slowly walked. Martin hadn't saved the number, whereas Sanders had saved as 'new boss.'

"What are you trying to say, President Evans?" A person questioned.

Aarvi hung up the call and opened the inbox on Sanders's phone. She passed the mobile to the shareholders as she spoke about her actions. "I am very sure you all heard President Harmon mentioning, there are ears who would report things outside this hall."

Leon's back stiffened. Aarvi was hitting two birds with a stone. She was saving Dylan and throwing Martin out using the words he uttered a few minutes back.

'Why was she saving Dylan? So that I take the blame?' Leon was desperate to end the meeting. But it was just his thoughts. She wasn't saving Dylan.

Martin didn't retort. He wanted to see what she was up to instead of being childish and stupid like Sanders.

Aarvi glanced at Martin as she continued, "Of course, Parker has shares in the company and he has the right to know. But what if Mr. Sanders was trading the company information with someone harmful to the company?"

Martin discerned her actions. He pitied Sander who paled.

Everyone looked at each other and then at Martin. Mr. Baron questioned, "Are you saying that Harmon Industries could be in this mess because of Parkers helping the Cornbells?" He went out of the way with his thinking.

Aarvi's lips twitched. She wanted to say she was the reason to cover up everything even though Cornbell has no idea about it. She wouldn't pull Martin Parker to something he hadn't done.

She shook her head, "I agree that businessmen go any length, including me. However, this isn't about Mr. Parker." She pointed at Sanders, "Are you sure you will let this kind of man be a member of the board of directors?" She was cleaning up a little before Aeon took over the position.

Everyone was suspicious as Martin might be using their money to become President by joining hands with Cornbell. They looked at Sanders who was busy saying he would never do that.

Aarvi noticed Sanders's mobile reached him after passing around by others. She went towards the head of the table to place Martin's mobile. She knew he had thought she would attack him with that. "I am sorry for the trouble." She didn't forget her manners.

Martin remarked in a low voice taking his mobile, "You are no angel as you look." Anybody who clearly notices her attitude could say she wasn't as kind as she looked. She had her motive to be there.

Her eyebrow popped at his words. She never said she was a saint. "I am a devil among demons." She admitted with a smile. She would proudly accept she is evil and sinful if anybody dares to cross her.

Martin was impressed. It's hard to get somebody who accepts openly. He decided to leave, "I will see you…"

Aarvi cut in, "Never." She meant he won't get the chance to acquire the company in the current crisis.

Martin sealed his lips and watched her come out of the narrow space of the table with the help of Alex. He lowered his back and whispered his father's well wishes to Elder Harmon before leaving the hall.

Martin had reached the elevator when he noticed cops entering the floor and going towards the same meeting hall.

"What is she up to?" He mumbled to himself and left.

----

In the meeting hall, Aarvi noticed Leon's skeptical gaze on her. "You are next, Leon Harmon." She said in a low voice and saw his body stiffen.

Leon had believed it was the end and he would have to work his ass off to get out of the troublesome situation. Numerous thoughts ran in his mind trying to guess what she was going to do that would make others throw him out.

Meanwhile, Sanders got maximum votes against him. Hence he was removed from the board of directors.

Then Elder Harmon again tried to conclude the meeting by summarizing, "So far, we have come to the conclusion that Leon will solve the crisis within a month and give us a proper response to his negligence. If he fails to do so, Martin Parker would be stepping in. Meanwhile, I will make sure to find a feasible and better solution." He had a faint smile while summarizing.

He looked at everyone and asked one last time, "Is there anything else to be addressed?"

Before anybody could utter anything, there was a knock on the door. Leon's heart skipped a beat, he swallowed hard thinking who could it be.

The door was pushed open and six cops entered inside. The shareholders were shocked at another unexpected development in the meeting.

First, they nodded at Elder Harmon in greeting. Then their eyes fell on the lady next to him. The cops were confused when their eyes landed on Aarvi. They knew about the kidnap attempt on her so they were a little shocked to see her in the Harmon Industries. Their eyes checked her top to toe. She was fine.

The captain still asked, glancing suspiciously at Leon, "President Evans, are you alright?" They wanted to know if she was kidnapped.

Aarvi could see the officer tense for some reason. She didn't know the reason. She responded knowing they were present to arrest Leon due to the attempted kidnap, "I managed to escape, Captain…" She looked at his badge and addressed him, "Murphy." Her voice wasn't loud.

The captain glanced at Leon and reported to her, "President Evans, Your kidnap was planned by Leon Harmon and another person."

Leon: "..."

Elder Harmon hid his smirk and he stood up in shock, "Kidnap? Aarvi, are you hurt?"

The shareholders gasped.

Leon's mind was flooded with hundreds of questions. Hearing the tone of the captain, he could guess they had some evidence and he would be arrested right there. If he was taken to the police station once, Aarvi would indoctrinate everyone and give his position to Aeon. With the power of attorney she had, she could isolate all his resources using her intelligence.

His mind was a mess like thundering clouds. Aarvi's identity was very sensitive. Taking the Rivas family's influence, they would do anything to keep in prison.

He was always careful to leave no clue whenever he did something. He was incensed, assuming Aarvi planned her own kidnap and trapped him. He lost the ability to think. He gave his mind to his terrible anger. His body trembled when he saw the end everywhere. He clenched his teeth and gave in to the extreme anger that ticked off.

Alex leaped, Elder Harmon's eyes widened when Leon ignored the cops and grabbed Aarvi by a fistful of her hair while she was answering the cops. "You b*tch, this is all your plan." He bellowed at her.

For a second, Aarvi felt like she was back at the police station when the officers harassed her and in the hotel where Leon dragged her by the hair. She even expected to be yanked back and trembled like a drenched cat.

Another split second, she clenched her teeth. Her eyes filled with nothing but murderous glint. She held Leon's wrist with both of her hands and twirled around twisting his hand, knocking his grip from her hair.

Alex punched Leon in the face, Elder Harmon hit Leon's head with the cane. Before Leon could get out of his anger and grasp the situation, Aarvi kicked his legs, slammed her hand on his chest as hard as she could.

'Thump.'

Before anybody could react, Alex broke Leon's right arm and Aarvi's pointed heel started digging at Leon's neck.

"Leon Harmon, I dare you to forget who I am." She glowered, putting the hall into deafening silence.. "I, Aarvi Evans, will do everything to destroy you."
