The Traps of Black Swan

Hearing the advice of Megan, Jordan was thinking if everything could really get normal but his train of thoughts broke when the butler announced, "Master Fisher arrived."

Megan stood up elegantly and took a seat on a different couch completely replacing her spoiled girl behavior with the graceful daughter-in-law of the family.

Jordan\'s face was poker when Master Fisher entered inside hurriedly, trying to maintain his poise. "Elder Rivas, Madam Rivas. My apologies for turning up unannounced."

Jordan and Megan nodded at him and the latter pointed couch for him to sit. A maid quickly served the glass of water as other refreshments weren\'t required.

Megan knew it wasn\'t time for him to enjoy refreshments so she had asked not to bring them out.

Master Fisher was edgy sitting on the couch, "Elder Rivas, please give the last chance to Naomi, I promise to send her out of the city or even country. She will never trouble any of you. Please talk to Aaron." He rubbed his palms uneasily pleading with Jordan to help him out.

Jordan remembered when the Fisher family was throwing comments on Fiona Knox but their daughter turned up more notorious that crumbled their pride and ego.

Jordan didn\'t want to give any hope by saying he will talk to Aaron. "Jason, as much as you are craving to protect your daughter, Aaron is doing the same. Don\'t expect me to talk to Aaron when you and your wife have encouraged her to go out of hand."

Megan had expected Jordan to carefully handle the matter, she hadn\'t anticipated that Jordan could cut off the further conversation in the beginning.

Master Fisher pursed his lips and lowered his head. \'Encouraged.\' Yes, they did. When Naomi had first whinged to Elder Fisher about Aarvi being next to Aaron and provoking her, Elder Fisher had scolded her to behave.

Hence Naomi had stopped dissing Aarvi in front of Elder Fisher and started bitching Aarvi with them. They always felt Naomi had a point and supported her unconditionally. 

If he had stopped Naomi in the beginning, would everything be different now? Might be, but it was too late.

Master Fisher was thinking about what to do, Megan suggested, "Master Rivas, how about you wait for Aaron to return? There might be a way out if Naomi apologizes sincerely."

Jordan internally sighed. Other than his stubborn wife, he finds every lady of Rivas family too kind and men, too cold. 

Master Fisher was already aware Aaron will return the next day evening and cops will send Naomi for trial within twenty-four hours of custody.

If the complaint isn\'t taken back or proven false, Naomi will have to stay in the police station the whole night and she will attend trial the next day.

If Naomi accepts her wrongdoing, she might be imprisoned for three-six months plus a huge fine. If the defense attorney states strong reasons, there can be chances to revoke Naomi\'s medicine practice license.

What could be worse for a doctor?

He stammered to ask, "Actually, Ms. Evans can take the case back as the main victim of the whole situation is her. I will apologize and ask Doctor Brown to forgive Naomi."

Jordan frowned. Contacting Aarvi was difficult unless they contacted her through them. But he didn\'t want to contact Aarvi to ask for a favor when she had repeatedly borne Naomi\'s foolish attacks.

Would he have agreed so easily if Ariel Rivas was in Aarvi\'s place? Jordan knew he would have shown hell to Noami in that case so he stayed quiet.

Master Fisher noticed Jordan was reluctant to talk to Aarvi so he suggested again, "How about I request her? I.. I don\'t know how to contact her."

Megan was like a mother to Ariel, she knew the pain of losing a daughter. She could guess how worried he was to save Naomi so her heart softened.

"Master Fisher, let\'s hear what she has to say on this," Megan said and pulled her mobile out.

Jordan wanted to facepalm but controlled and gave heads up to Master Fisher, "But I or Megan have no intention to force her to do anything."

Master Fisher could only meekly agree.

Megan made a video call to Aarvi, she saw Aarvi giggling and a little girl whining, [Aunt Moon, you fooled me.]

Megan\'s lips naturally curled up and heard Aarvi, [Aunt Megan…] Aarvi carefully watched and asked, [You look sad, What happened?]

Jordan looked at Megan who was actually smiling but was amused to hear Aarvi defining her down mood. Now he was double sure, Aarvi was going to be another soft-hearted lady of the Rivas family.

Megan shook her head, "No Gigglemug, I am alright. Actually…" She glanced at Master Fisher before continuing, "I called you for a reason." She continued after seeing Aarvi nod, "Master Fisher is here. He wanted to talk to you about the complaint."

Aarvi on the other end scratched her head in embarrassment, playing with Lara she forgot to be updated about a new problem, "Aunt Megan, I have yet to know clearly about the case. I got to know Aaron arranged to file a complaint when Madam Fisher came to see me. Uncle Karsen sent her off I guess."

Jordan and Megan looked at each other, understanding Aarvi just knows there was a complaint but nothing else.

Master Fisher stood up and asked, "May I?"

Megan nodded at Aarvi and handed him the mobile. Master Fisher apologized, then briefed about the complaint and then came down to the point, "Ms. Evans, since Aaron is busy, you could take the case back. In return, I can assure you that you won\'t be harmed by Noami again."

The four pairs of ears sharpened on the phone to know how Aarvi was going to handle the situation. The fourth one was the butler.

A few seconds passed, Master Fisher saw her thinking so he didn\'t disturb her before she raised her head to face the man, "I am sorry, Master Fisher..."

\'Heartless cold woman.\' Jordan thought but he was neither disappointed nor appreciated it.

Megan thought Naomi\'s behavior must have really hurt Aarvi. The butler shook his head in disappointment. Even though what Naomi did wasn\'t right, Aarvi wasn\'t that hurt and he had expected the future-Young Madam Rivas to be a kind-hearted lady like Megan.

Disappointed Master Fisher felt raise in anger. Anyhow he wanted to try harder but she continued, "Aaron did this to protect me. Even if I would like to help you, I respect his decision so I am not going against him..."

Aaron arranged to file a complaint, if she goes and invalidates the complaint, wouldn\'t it be slapping him in the face? 

Aarvi would never do that.

Jordan really liked how Aarvi took the situation and came up with a response. Megan was proud of her Gigglemug.

The butler nodded to himself in appreciation but the credit went to a different person, \'Young Master\'s choice is remarkable.\' He thought.

Master Fisher didn\'t like her way of going around the mountain just to reject him. 

Aarvi continued, "I could only help you by trying to convince him when he returns."

Jordan and Megan unthinking hummed in acknowledgment to Aarvi\'s words but Master Fisher felt them as empty words. 

Anyhow, he forced himself to say, "I will look forward to your favor, Ms. Evans." 

The woman who lives under the roof of Aaron with a new name was nothing according to them. So Aarvi, a nobody\'s behavior annoyed him which he didn\'t show on his face before taking his leave from the Rivas mansion.
