The Traps of Black Swan

Chapter 318 - The Standard Of Wickedness

The Dawson family demanded engagement and Master Dawson wanted it to be grand and posh for his only daughter. He chose to be extravagant to grab the eyes of the media and netizens so it could be the talk of the town and both of their company shares rate could hit the sky and make a huge profit.

It wasn't just that, he had worked with Leon Harmon from the time Leon entered the business field. So he obviously knew Leon Harmon wasn't the man one should mess with. He assumed if the public eyes stayed on the event and the relationship of Dawson and the Harmon family, Leon wouldn't dare to hurt them.

Despite knowing he was playing with the poisonous viper, he boldly struck when Leon needed their support the most. So the only choice left for him was making everything huge so that he gets everyone's eyes and Leon stays calm due to public opinion.

Leon had suggested the engagement to be on Sunday but Master Dawson asked for Saturday faking that he has to leave the country for treatment. Whereas the real reason was, Master Dawson didn't want Leon to find any other business partner at the Mirage Banquet in the evening, which was a show of wealthy people.

He didn't want to take the chance of Leon canceling the engagement at neck moment. Thus he dreamed to hold the reins of Leon to avoid him going to others.

All Sean cared about was enjoying the biggest party he ever threw, his thrill was at its peak just by the thought of him helping his elder brother by putting on an act of getting engaged. So he considered the engagement as the party by inviting all his friends, asking them to get everyone they know to enjoy the party to the fullest. 

He was little discontent to know the party was at noon when he wanted it to be in the evening followed by the whole night. Master Dawson convinced him saying they can extend the party as long as he wants as there will be an unlimited supply of food and drinks.

With two men having different thoughts in mind, they truly arranged for the most luxurious engagement party in the world that cost Master Dawson quite a few million including his daughter's gown.

One good thing about the party was, Aarvi's flower farm earned more than a million by selling ninety percent of the flowers. The three cities were lacking flowers as the major flower market belonged at Aarvi.

With an earbud in her ear, Aarvi stood by the entrance of the largest celebration hall of Mocon. Just by looking at the grand entrance, one could easily guess the background of the arrangement was purposefully maintained black to get the night view and the lights dazzled brightly. 

The entry to the hall had two ways, a special entry for those who had a gold invite card. They could drive the car right at the entrance whereas those who didn't have the card will have to enter a queue which had a long line.

If any special guest forgets their invite card, they could call a hosting family member or assistants of presidents who would send an organizer to escort them inside.

Standing by the entrance, Aarvi was listening to Zain. The latter who was on nails all night to talk to Aarvi rushed to her as soon as he got to know she was on the way to the flower farm.

Due to heavy bulk orders, Aarvi had arranged for extra man force and she had to go to seal the deal as the payment amount was large. She didn't want to trouble Dax as it wasn't related to Skylar.

She had a simple breakfast with Zain at the farm and spoke, obviously about the night. Seeing her too calm and silent, he was reluctant to leave her but she sent away.

Zain summarised after hearing the reason behind Aarvi's presence at the party, [Pumpkin, you mean President Dawson is another man who was in the warehouse.]

Zain who was running on the treadmill asked in his slightly breathy voice. He had gone to Aarvi during his workout time so his exercise time was shifted to afternoon and Aarvi was aware he was in his office gym.

Aarvi hummed waiting for a message to receive on her mobile. Since the party was arranged by Dawson, her team didn't find it difficult to take the network under control, and the Shadow team few men were inside to make sure Leon's security men who might know Aarvi's face weren't around.

Zain asked after a few seconds of his analysis. [So how are you planning to attack him?]

Out of seven who tortured her in the warehouse, he got to know the sixth one so who is the seventh? He controlled himself from asking her about the last person who she holds responsible for the whole situation. 

Zain was glad at least they got to know thirteen out of fourteen and he didn't feel like the last person to be harmful as Leon Harmon.

Aarvi tried to relax her demeanor but it was still a little hard. She wasn't able to recover from the previous night's shock which made her look too cold and emotionless. "Leon Harmon doesn't like this marriage deal, Sean Harmon hates Sara Dawson to his bones. So the plans are changed. "

As per the information Aarvi sent him a few days back, Zain felt the same. Aarvi's earlier plan was to let Leon Harmon become overconfident in winning the chemical manufacturing plant before snatching it away at neck moment to make him go crazier.

Zain guessed since President Dawson is also her prey and he joined the project, so she might elevate Leon Harmon's hatred of Dawson so that Leon Harmon could destroy Dawson just like how Leon hurt the Craft family.

[My pumpkin is raising the standard of wickedness.] Zain teased with a chuckle trying to ease her up.

Aarvi shook her head helplessly and entered the venue as she briefed the change of plan and precautions she was taking with a backup plan before they ended the call.

After entering inside, she went upstairs while on the call. For a second, even she doubted if it was day or night. The daylight was completely avoided hence the enormous circular hall was looking like a wedding reception hall instead of an engagement.

The hall was in circular shape with a high tomb in the center to nullify the pillars. The floor in the middle was slightly elevated to form a stage for the hosts.

If Aarvi's calculation wasn't wrong, the hall could hold more than a thousand guests and the decoration was high class. The important guest had special seats around the stage in an enclosed couch structure to avoid others from disturbing them.

The rest of the circular table and chair around the stage was in white with multicolor flower decoration which was interlaced with the lights for more shimmer.

Moving to the ends of the hall, the first floor had bedrooms for the host and below the lobby also had seating arrangements that were more suited for friends who could drink and enjoy.

Glancing at the flowers arranged in cloud structure, Aarvi turned around and walked towards Sara's room without knowing Leon was walking towards her after exiting Sara's room.
