The Traps of Black Swan

Chapter 258 - The Weed

In the Fisher family villa,

Since his grandfather wanted to take control and look into the incident that happened at the hospital, Aaron didn't worry about it. Aarvi didn't care about it as she already knew the person behind it.

However, Jordan was very serious about it due to multiple reasons. Aarvi is Aaron's girlfriend, somebody threatening the doctor at his hospital that is spoiling professionalism and the safe environment.

Naomi felt her fingers trembling as she desperately tried to hide looking at the icy cold eyes of Jordan.

She hadn't expected she would get caught and she least expected, out of all, Jordan Rivas to reach her.

"Grandfather, what a surprise!" Her trembling voice didn't completely fabricate to her surprise to match her words.

Mother and father Fisher looked at each other without understanding why Jordan was in their villa at nine in the night. Upon that, what confused them was he wasn't indifferent but very cold by how he ordered them to call Naomi downstairs.

Sitting at the bar counter, Hassan sipped his wine waiting to know what his elder sister pulled on herself. The air was pressing so he knew it was nothing good.

Other than thinking Naomi troubled Aarvi Evans, Hassan was sure Naomi wouldn't do anything stupid. 

"Surprised?" Jordan asked mockingly when he could obviously see her agitated by his presence unlike how she always behaved with him. 

He didn't bother sending her family members aside to talk privately with her. He looked forward to seeing their reaction after knowing what Naomi did.

The little hope Naomi had fled out the window and his reaction was enough to tell her that Jordan was there because of her dirty game. 

She wasn't new to the Rivas family so she could guess Jordan won't reach her unless he is certain that she is behind it. Protesting or blaming others will definitely get the negative effect so she chose the truth.

Will that be a complete truth? Of course not, the fabricated truth.

If she reveals the complete truth, she will not have a face to show and she can't earn forgiveness from the Rivas family. So she chose to act as a concerned, pitiful lady.

"Grandfather…" She pursed her lips and looked down to show she was guilty as she continued to speak without meeting his gaze, "Did you get to know… Grandfather, please don't be angry, I will tell you everything and why I did that."

She kneeled next to Jordan and placed her palms one above the other on his knee, "Please hear me out once… Please…" She pleaded by looking at him in her teary eyes.

The Fisher family members immediately understood she was acting. The act of weakness and begging doesn't come in her dictionary, Naomi was a type who argues her wrong as right despite knowing she is actually in the wrong.

Naomi is only soft natured around the Rivas family and the common friends so it was easy for the family members to guess her behavior.

Despite seeing her haughty, they never really saw her lying or troubling others so the family always ignored it. When they got to know she likes Aaron, they let her pursue him and follow him too.

Aarvi's presence didn't only threaten Naomi but also her parents. They had dreamed of their daughter marrying into an esteemed, respectful family and also for having better status in the society, that greed made them hate Aarvi just like Naomi.

Hence they never cared to uptight Naomi when she schemed against Aarvi due to her jealousy, possessiveness, insecurity, and fear of losing Aaron.

Jordan was really angry. He knows the Fisher family for too long and Naomi from her birth so he could just ignore their long-term relationship. So he accepted with a grunt to let her speak.

Naomi took a deep breath and started narrating her motive. She made a few changes that would calm the old man and forgive her.

"Grandfather, I am watching Ms. Evans for a very long time. I had doubts if she actually forgot the past as she says and it deepened after playing chess with her. 

Do you remember Shawn saying Ms. Evans was a chess champion? How will he know if she never told him? He is very young to understand all this so I didn't ask him.

I was worried if she was planning something against the Rivas family hiding her past. I didn't have any choice but to use this method. 

According to my deduction, Ms. Evans knows about her real identity else wouldn't she go with that man to talk to know more about herself?

Now, I don't know how to know about her real identity."

Hassan wanted to applaud his elder sister. As an international model and actor, he doubted if he could get into the role as quickly as Naomi. 

Surprisingly her acting was too good softening the sharp lines of the old man.

Father and Mother Fisher believes what Naomi knows. Whereas Hassan doesn't only know Aarvi is the mysterious president of Skylar, he knows she is a close friend of Shawn and she remembers her past.

If he wasn't guessing wrong, Aarvi is the same girl Ariel Rivas always complained to him as, 'a girl with ulterior motives around my little brother.' 

He had ignored it in the past because Ariel was extremely overprotective about Shawn and the latter had said his friend wasn't such a type of girl.

So he could already guess the whole Rivas family knew about Aarvi Evans before she ended up in a barbaric way. They were just protecting her with a new identity and keeping her old identity under wraps.

So whatever his sister played out will infuriate but hearing her openly say she did it because she was worried will soften the anger.

He really wanted to request his sister, 'Please don't believe what you assume and watch and learn.' He left the wine glass on the counter and was prepared to go to his room.

Jordan wasn't ready to reveal anything about Aarvi Evans and what they know and don't know about her. 

This is started with a misunderstanding of Naomi so he was ready to forgive her for that as she was concerned about them, the Rivas family.

However, threatening the intern doctor as she will destroy her brother's career doesn't fit with Jordan's principles. 

Naomi made use of her position and also her relationship with the Rivas family to bully the powerless doctor. If she is so clean hearted, why didn't she come up and tell the same in the hospital instead of sending the scapegoat?

Naomi wasn't so naive that she doesn't know the intern doctor's life and career would have ruined her actions.

Despite he had softened hearing her accept, Jordan shrugged Naomi's hands from his knee, "Naomi Fisher, I am very disappointed in you."

Naomi had almost believed she got away from the punishment after seeing the softened gaze and air of Jordan.

The father and mother Fisher panicked too and the mother Fisher blurted out without thinking, "Elder Rivas, how could you say that? Naomi just wanted to remove the weed out."

'Weed' Jordan's gaze turned fierce on the mother Fisher and stomped his cane on the floor as he stood up and growled, "I dare you to repeat it again."

The air suddenly turned too cold and suffocating, Jordan was really upset and dismayed by the behavior of the Fisher family.
