YM778.TV Chapter 524 - He Lost, She Will Suffer
"Come on, Leon Harmon, bark." Dax\'s irritated voice sounded because he was right in front of the bureau but couldn\'t go inside due to Leon.
His secretary on the other end: "..."
Leon Harmon could guess the voice as he had watched a few interviews of Dax Grant. Well, this time, Leon didn\'t call to stop the marriage as it wasn\'t possible.
"Oh, the foot licking dog of Ava Kelly. Why don\'t you teach me how to bark?" Leon ridiculed Dax as he thinks Dax was just the face of Skylar and nothing else.
Dax rolled his eyes hearing Leon. He wanted Leon to come to the topic before he instructed his secretary about the work. "My owner has taught her pet dog very well. Only the street dog like you snarl at every passerby."
People like Leon, who cares more about money and benefits than relationships wouldn\'t respect friendship so Dax didn\'t bother to argue with him for that.
He heard Leon grit his teeth, Leon called to mock and alert Aarvi, not to engage with Dax so. "Go, save your f**king reputation."
Dax was also thinking of the problem and negative news spreading over. If he immediately responds, it won\'t have the effect as he wants. So instead of responding to Leon, he spoke to his secretary, "Martin, notify the management to take half-day paid off. President Evans is throwing a lavish dinner party for you all to celebrate her joy with everyone. Let\'s have fun tonight."
Dax\'s secretary: "..."
They were definitely going to lose quite a few million as per the news by the end of the market day. Seeing him so cool, Dax\'s secretary contemplated if he had to be happy or be more careful.
He didn\'t know what was President Evans\'s joy, however, an idea struck his mind, "CEO Grant, how about an ambiguous wish to the President over social media?" That will significantly control the losses as people will get curious about it.
"Smart." Dax approved as Aarvi has her social media account. "Book a Sky lounge restaurant for tonight\'s party. I am joining."
He heard the voice and ended the call accurately knowing Leon was listening to them, "President Harmon, wanna have a drink? I can afford to pay for the lonely street dog."
The call hung up making Dax smirk. If his plan goes right, Dax was sure he could gain back the losses and get more profit by the next day afternoon.
Dax went inside at the right time, the verification of the foreign citizen, Aarvi Evans was completed and Aarvi and Aaron signed the papers. The newly married stood for the picture, Aaron stood emotionless but one could easily see a sparkling golden hue in his amber eyes. However, another one had a delighted smile, dazzling brightly.
The cameraman instructed them to stand straight, relax their shoulders and look into the camera while Dax and Shawn were making her laugh standing behind the cameraman.
The cameraman was helpless as he couldn\'t offend them. So he pleaded with Aarvi, "President Evans, let me take one picture, please."
Aarvi felt like she bullied him while her friends were laughing. Excluding Jordan, everyone knew how naughty those three were so they turned a blind eye to let them enjoy.
Aaron narrowed his eyes at two who pretended to look here and there before escaping. Then they finally took a picture and got the certificate. Aarvi\'s head was slightly tilted towards Aaron with a soft smile gracing her face.
Aarvi was looking at her marriage certificate while Aaron had his eyes on her smile, "Hello Mrs. Aaron Rivas."
\'Mistress,\' Aarvi couldn\'t believe she wasn\'t Miss anymore. She grinned mischievously at Aaron, "Hello, my dear husband." She winked at him before Megan embraced her to congratulate her and Connor wished his son.
Finally, her two friends with Shea popped the confetti, and Karsen asked their men to give out the sweets to everyone as they congratulated the newly married couple.
Milo Wen stood aside watching everyone enjoying themselves. It was the first time he saw everyone so happy after three years. He hoped it could stay without getting affected by Leon.
Suddenly the joyous air froze when Aaron and Jordan came face to face. Zain popped his eyebrow at his little sister sensing the tense air. "The cold war." She whispered.
Aaron breathed. If he had got to know about the past when Jordan hadn\'t accepted Aarvi, he really would have ignored his grandfather. If not for him or his grandfather, Aaron wanted everything to be more than better for Aarvi. So he decided to let go of the past for their new beginning. He didn\'t want to start with any hint of bitterness.
So Aaron hugged his grandfather and everyone breathed in relief. "Grandfather, you can eat only one extra dessert today."
The stubborn Aaron could only be melted by Aarvi so Jordan knew Aaron was letting go of the past for Aarvi. He was fine as long as they were together. "But my granddaughter-in-law allowed me to eat more."
Aarvi: "..."
For goodness sake, she doesn\'t even know Jordan has high blood sugar and they never spoke about sweets. Aaron lifted his brows at her, so she quickly took Jordan\'s side, "Of course, grandfather should also enjoy."
"That\'s like my girl. He is so boring." Jordan remarked.
Aarvi flashed an innocent smile, "I will make sure to ask the butler to prepare sugar-free desserts, especially for you grandfather."
The elders chuckled while Aaron looked proud of his sly wife.
Jordan knew he should have expected it from her. "Aish, don\'t be with him. He will put all his bad habits in you."
With a joyous mood, everyone went to the Rivas mansion for the feast that was waiting for them. Zain joined them on his sister\'s puppy eyes and Connor\'s request. Dax wished to join but he wanted to be on alert as Leon started his strikes.
---
At Harmon mansion,
Leon realized Aarvi or Dax, might do business for profit but money can\'t stop them.
While thinking the same, he got a call from his men who were following Aarvi\'s duplicate, [Boss, we were following the taxi but we don\'t know where she got off. The taxi is empty and roaming in the city because that lady gave him money for it.] He was confused.
Leon just hung up the call. It registered to him that Aarvi expected him to find out and don\'t reach the cafe. Hence the empty taxi was roaming in the city. He doubted the lady might have alighted from another door as soon as she got in.
In front of her team who had real brains, he was tired of his men who just knew how to fight without using the brain.
As though it wasn\'t enough, another call came from the ones who had kidnapped Maisie and Shane. He put it on speaker, too lazy to hold it near his ear.
[Boss, a man in a blue suit came and dropped a box in your name. It has torturing equipment. Are we torturing these two?]
Leon understood why Aarvi said he would regret kidnapping them. Because she didn\'t care about her parents and she played him in his own game. On top of that, she was asking him to torment her parents. Most importantly, she got the kidnappers\' location quickly and accurately.
He wanted to destroy her team but didn\'t know where they were. "Throw them back." He ordered them to leave Maisie and Shane.
Silently thinking for a long time, Leon discerned he was too soft on her and she wasn\'t an easy opponent. "I lost but you will suffer." He mumbled to himself.
He dialed someone\'s number, "Kill someone at the Golden oil and gas site. Frame it as suicide. Cook up a story, make it big, worse with the media. I want Aaron Rivas out of this city by evening." He sounded frighteningly calm, as though he was talking about general stuff.
[It will be done.] The response came and the call ended immediately. Leon threw the mobile on the bed.
"Happy married life, Little Lamb." He leaned on the rocking chair that rocked back and forth while an evil smirk stayed on his face imagining Aarvi sleeping alone on the bed.
After a few seconds, he suddenly sat straight thinking she might follow Aaron. And remembered Dax partying in the evening. "Little Lamb, would you hate me if I disturb your sleep tonight? Oops, you will have dark circles at tomorrow\'s party. Tch tch."
He didn\'t use his mobile. He went out of his room to find his men and instruct them to carry out the plan.
