The Traps of Black Swan

Aarvi was the founder and president of Skylar Industries. Catherine knew Aarvi's business experience was something she didn't have. Aarvi's smartness or her level-headedness was something she doesn't hold. Her help would be much needed for Dawson companies.

Catherine's priority was the company so that it could help her give a comfortable life to Sara. So she pointed at Robert while looking at Aarvi, "Would you like for me to kill him? I will do it." Since Robert and his friends tried to kill Aarvi, Catherine thought that would be the payback.

Aarvi: "..."

Robert was shocked. He tried to speak but no words came out.. Looking at Catherine's seriousness, he tried to run away to keep his life safe.

Aarvi and Catherine turned to the door when Robert was close to escaping. Anyway, Max vented his previous frustration by punching the man back into the mansion.

While Max kicked Robert inside, Aarvi cleared her throat with a gentle cough. A vengeful woman is indeed scary. She couldn't believe Catherine was ready to kill her husband.

Catherine identified Max, who no longer behaved like a young boy but a man with a temper. 

Aarvi spoke, "Mrs. Dawson, I don't care if you divorce him or not, considering that he disappeared from the world."

Robert was groaning in pain when he heard Aarvi. He assumed she was going to kill him hence he started screaming, "Help… Help… They are going to kill me…"

'Pooh,' Max kicked him in the stomach, sending him flying away. He was playing football.

"Letting him live is a waste of space and food." Catherine mercilessly remarked, guessing Aarvi didn't mean to kill her husband.

Aarvi felt like she should bring Eliza to Catherine. Eliza's personality will be strengthened. Now she focused on waste of space and food, "If the servants don't work from dawn to dark at my farm, under the blazing sun or harsh rain or biting cold, they get nothing to eat. If they laze around, they will be whipped in the ass." They weren't her Laze to treat them nice for just walking and playing around.

Catherine almost burst into laughter hearing Aarvi's words. For the people who lived in luxury, living such a life would be worse than death. Working their ass off for food every day felt like a perfect life for her husband, "That sounds like an interesting punishment." She wanted to witness it but didn't voice it.

Aarvi took her words as acceptance to her second reason. So she focused on the first, "I want you to threaten Leon Harmon tomorrow in the meeting. Demand your money from Harmon Industries, at the same time show your distrust in the President of the company."

Catherine wasn't well versed in the business so she didn't understand how she could threaten the cunning Leon Harmon. If Leon Harmon steps down from the position, who will return her money.

The confidence on Catherine's face wavered, for not understanding anything. So Aarvi toned her voice like a teacher who is trying to make her understand, "Today, you have to ask some time from your company shareholders for recovering the money."

Catherine nodded her head in understanding. Aarvi continued, "Tomorrow, with your company legal team, reach Harmon Industries. There will be a meeting, you have to threaten Leon to sue for your losses due to the negligence in the project. And state your distrust of him in front of all the shareholders of Harmon Industries."

Aarvi saw Catherine again getting confused. She had no time to explain all the clauses so she looked at the man who had worked as an assistant to President Dawson. "Your assistant will guide you through all the process. You can trust him."

Catherine was quick to catch up here. She glanced at the man who informed him about the arrival of Aarvi. 'So he is her spy!?'

"C-could I really trust you?" She was afraid of thinking Aarvi might fool her and get everything under her.

Aarvi fell silent here. Trust was something she had to earn, however, Aarvi didn't need it. She had no gain from this help other than keeping her conscience clear, for not hurting the innocent.

"Do you have any other choice?" Aarvi asked back.

Catherine pursed her lips and glanced at her husband. It seemed like a cheating husband gives her confidence, "Instead of trusting crappy men, let me believe a woman helps another woman to grow."

Aarvi nodded in acceptance of her words. There is no better woman than Catherine for Eliza to get her confidence.

"Then rest assured, you will get your money with the penalty in a month." Aarvi gave her the assurance she needed.

Aarvi turned to the man who was standing behind Catherine, "If you find it difficult to handle any matter, give me a call." She knew he was capable and she had already sent him the whole plan handled from the Dawson company's side.

"Thank you, Young Madam Rivas." The man in his mid-thirties bowed to her and turned to Catherine.

"Madam, we have a meeting in an hour. I will explain to you on the way." He respectfully said.

Catherine felt strange but in a good way. There was fear in her thinking of how she was going to manage all these. Her gaze on the cheater husband was all she needed to gather her confidence to live through the trouble.

She stood up and nodded at Aarvi, "Then I am grateful for your help and guidance."

Aarvi stood up too. She repeated Catherine's words, "How about women helping each other?"

Catherine tilted her head without understanding the depth of her words. Aarvi continued as she typed a message on her mobile, "Invite Mrs. Harmon, Eliza Lane. She has experience in business and she could help you at the office. In return, you can help her be strong-minded like you."

Catherine was acquainted with Eliza so she immediately agreed while feeling good to hear she was a strong-minded woman, "Absolutely. I will do my best."

Then the two left towards the Dawson company, leaving Robert for Aarvi. Robert Dawson panicked when Aarvi's eyes fell on him. 

"Bring the dog inside," Aarvi said loud enough to reach the doors.

A shadow team member came inside with a Doberman. It had a mouth guard that stops from barking or biting anybody.

"A glass of whiskey please," Aarvi instructed Max and went near Robert Dawson.

Max didn't move, assuming she wanted whiskey for her and she wasn't allowed to drink. "I am sorry, Young Madam, you-"

Aarvi added, "Not for me, Max." She knew it was all Aaron's doing in the past. And they still follow it.

Max quickly went to fetch the whiskey while Robert's eyes widened in horror recalling what he had done to Aarvi in the past, "Y-you can't be doing this… I-I was drunk that day… I wasn't in my clear senses… Keep that dog away… I beg you… It will bite me…" He crawled away as the dog neared.

Aarvi halted when she was just two steps away. "Drunk? I don't think so. You drove your car that day, President Dawson." She indifferently dismissed his excuse. 

The fear of losing wealth felt nothing, in front of the fear of Aarvi or the large dog going towards him. He kowtowed and practically begged her, afraid of facing the dog.

"I am sorry, I shouldn't have vented my frustration on you. I beg of you to let me go… I swear, I won't do it again… Let me go…" He cried as he continued to yammer.

Aarvi cut off his cries, "Should I accept your sincere apology?" Aarvi questioned him.
