The Traps of Black Swan

Chapter 558 - A Sense Of Respect And Fear



Jaxon wanted to give the limelight to Jordan but Jordan never really fancied it. So he took Jaxon with him while entering the banquet hall. 

The news had already spread out about Jaxon Evans hence everyone had assumed Aarvi Evans might be a sister Jaxon is not a spouse.

Hence everyone's eyes glued at the entrance. The ones who wanted to have a try on Shawn Rivas were excited at the thought of having a chance with Jaxon.

One among the guests was confused as hell. Leon was cent percent sure Aarvi Evans is Ava Kelly then how could Jaxon Evans attend the party?

He didn't believe in coincidence hence he started to think if Rivas family is acquainted with the Evans or Ava Kelly got acquainted with Jaxon in the country S. There were numerous questions but he had no response.

Upon all that, Leon knew, provoking the real Evans meant destruction. They wouldn't mind wasting a few million to uproot him completely or destroy the Harmon Industries.

His heartbeats erratically increased, he had thought he was finally having control over the situation. Now looked clearly, the people standing behind Aarvi are more powerful than one another. Yet, they all watched her playing him. 

He realized whoever wanted his presence in the party, aimed to humiliate him and hit his pride. Matter of fact, before Aarvi could appear, he started burning in his ego.

As soon as Jordan and Jaxon came to the view, there were exclamations in the air, especially for the young man whose brown eyes were sparkling under the light.

There were also families and people, to whom Jaxon didn't matter, yet they had their eyes on the young man who didn't appear publicly much.

Others didn't dare to rush to them as they had to maintain their image. Leon, who was expecting the things to be fake, gritted his teeth. He was the real Jaxon Evans, Leon had seen him at an international business conference. 

Looking at the atmosphere that seemed to be standing still, the Rivas family ignored them and welcomed Jordan. Shawn made the scene lively by curtsying his grandfather and a smile appeared on Jordan's aloof face.

Instead of pretending to be formal, Shawn and Jaxon pound hugged as attractive smirks stayed on their face. "Welcome to Mocon." He welcomed Jaxon.

The people started gossipping if Evans were always that close to the Rivas and why Rivas hadn't used it to hype themselves. Well, Rivas never wished for such hypes.

Megan, Karsen, and Connor met Jordan and Jaxon before Jordan's eyes looked for Shea who was standing with the Morris family, her uncle, and aunt.

Shea was living with them, so she was like a family to them. Jordan cued with a nod of his head, calling her near. Karsen beckoned her to join them.

Shea didn't want to be an extra in the Rivas family hence she hadn't joined, looking at everyone turn to her, a delighted smile bloomed on her face. How she wanted to change herself into Rivas. She nodded at her Uncle and Aunt and quickly joined them.

That action started brewing up new rumors of what was the relationship between Shea Morris and the Rivas family. Their eyes unknowingly stayed on Shawn and Shea, who were making the family smile brighter.

Could it be...? Many were bitter at the thought of Shawn being taken by Shea.

Jaxon had met only Aaron, Shawn, and Jordan. He met the other three before Connor introduced Shea to him.

"Doctor Morris, we have met." Both shook their hands as Shea responded, "Yeah, once in Brother Aaron's condo." 

Jaxon smiled at his memory. As far as he knew, Shea was a happy chatterbox. He remembers her because she was the one who had blurted out about Aaron's Cupcake, leaving Aaron utterly speechless for making his Cupcake famous everywhere she went with Aaron.

Then Connor accompanied Jordan to meet the guests who greeted, lavishly complimented, and wished Jordan. They also asked about Jaxon and Aarvi but the duo chose to answer if required, else they were meticulously brushing off the questions.

Jaxon merely nodded or said 'Hello' when others tried to strike a conversation with him. Hence Shea had to help him evade the people.

Leon who watched the development was quick to understand, Jordan was the one who invited him to the party. He was just showing the two different worlds Aarvi was in and he was at.

As per the schedule, it was nearing the cake cutting time and waiters pushed the trolley inside the banquet hall. 

It was the time, everyone gave up the hopes of Aarvi Evans, President of Skylar attending the party, and assumed the girlfriend of Aaron and Aaron might be at Coasta.

To change their thoughts, Milo Wen entered the banquet hall with his wife, the movie queen Esme. Everyone always treated Esme cordially due to her warmness, hence it took them time to evade others and reach Jordan.

After asking the couple to enjoy themselves, Jordan crossed his legs while sitting on the couch. He checked the time on his Rolex and glanced at Megan who reported immediately, "They are here on time."

----- 

At the entrance,

The reporters who had seen Esme and Milo Wen, were eager for Aaron. But the Rolls Royce Phantom they had expected to arrive, didn't appear. 

Everyone's eyes widened and their lips gaped when a car grandly entered the hotel gates. The silence enveloped the crowd when they stared at the brand new Bentley EXP 100 GT, the only one in the world.

The appearance of the car evoked a sense of respect and fear as it made its way unhurriedly towards the entrance.

It was the marriage gift by the Evans to the couple, hence it was unique and rare, chosen especially for them.

The silence soon buzzed with gasps and the cameras flickering faster at the car. A very few of them knew the car, the rest knew it was the new epitome of luxury and class.

The camera continued to shutter when six bodyguards smoothly stood on either side of the car without revealing any hint of expression.

The reporters wanted to self-mockingly laugh. They wouldn't dare to get near the car even in their dreams. They knew a small scratch on it might cost them their whole life of earnings.

The two-meter wide door at the driver's side slowly opened upwards like the wings of the bird ready to flutter and fly away.

A tall, slender physique of a man seamlessly stepped out of the car. They didn't need to see the face, It was an easy guess for them to identify him as Aaron Rivas.

As far as they knew everyone in the Rivas family was low profile excluding Shawn Rivas. They never had expected Aaron to appear in such a high profile that, probably none in the city would be able to have such a grand entrance.

They held their breath to capture his stunning face and were also curious to the bones to have a glimpse of the woman who was in the shotgun seat. 

Since there weren't many guards, the reporters knew Aaron Rivas wasn't going to hide his girlfriend's face. The thought of this grand entry was for his girlfriend made them more excited to know the lady.
