Aarvi knew staying clean in the business field with cunning and crafty people trying to stomp is damn difficult. She is evil too but she has her principles and ethics when ites to business, unlike Leon Harmon.


    But Aaron? Aarvi could say he is hiding something or probably she never asked him how he managed to hold the business ground while looking after her. She knows it''s thetter one but she still had light fear thinking what if the business world had turned him sinister.


    Leaving that apart, Aarvi knew Aaron was investigating her case and she wasn''t sure how far it had gone and the evidence he had.So she wasn''t much surprised if he had taken them under control when she was inatose.


    She decided to ask Aaron.


    Before all that, she needs to make sure Shawn is safe and sound beforeplications increases.


    Moving towards the desk where blindfolds had covered, Shawn and Aarvi stayed there. They can''t take the chance of Leon Harmon arranging sharpshooters.


    She picked a file and announced a lie, "President Hays rejected the project." She had no ns to reveal her real identity to Vance''s parents. She didn''t care if President Hays tell itter.


    "What!?" Vance was bewildered and grabbed the file to see a stamp of rejection with the sign of his grandfather.


    Furious, he turned to his grandfather, "Grandfather, what is this all about? I was working day and night on this project to work with Evans and you…" He shrugged his hand, throwing the file on the coffee table.


    He didn''t want to bring up his family problem in front of a third person so he could only ground his teeth.


    Then Aarvi moved to the next part, "President Hays, which one did you choose?"


    President Hays stood up and went in front of his son. Master Hays was confused why his father was frowning but didn''t get a chance to speak.


    ''Pak.'' A sound of tight p sounded in the room


    Vance and Mother Hays: "..."


    President Hays said through heavy breathing looking at husband and wife, "If you two hadn''t encouraged him…" His left hand finger pointed Vance as he continued, "We wouldn''t have seen this day."


    ''Pak'' After this p, a woman''s cry sounded in the room.


    Vance was bewildered and ran to help his mother but President Hays roared, "Stand right there and watch what you brought upon us."


    ''Pak.'' He pped his son and suggested his son who staggered on the floor without understanding what was his mistake. "Let me make a deal with you, I will p once, you will p your wife and curse her. Or I will go two for you and one for your wife."


    "Dad, why are you doing this?" Madam Hays yelled at him and earned a tight p, "Why? Didn''t you curse and p her? You are earning the same with interest."


    ''Pak.'' He struck his son again and again making him feel dizzy.


    Madam and Master Hays were helpless because President Hays wasn''t only head of the family, he hadn''t transferred anything to their name. If they retort physically, they will have no roof.


    His parents might not be in the senses to understand his words but he realized his grandfather is talking about Ava Kelly. He clearly remembers Grace telling him that his mother cursed Ava endlessly and even pped her while his father held the cor of Hayden Kelly while arguing with him.


    And his guess was right, Aarvi was paying back for that with an interest but they didn''t know it was just the beginning of the end of the Hays family in the business and socialite circle.


    Vance turned his malicious eyes to Shawn and asked, "You did this, didn''t you? Did you have to choose them? Bring it on me."


    Shawn muttered looking at Vance, "First time I felt him manly."


    Aarvi responded to his question without reacting to Shawn. Her voice carried a disappointment of nonrecognition, "It''s me. Young master Hays, direct the credits at the right person."


    ''Credits?'' Shawn apuded while Vance was shocked.


    Aarvi continued after ncing at the three elders. Master Hays couldn''t hold it and started pping his wife, cursing her heartlessly by choosing new words each time.


    "I gave them two choices to repay for your mistake. One, punishing your parents for supporting you, two, stomping and kicking you to death." Aarvi was as nonchnt as she was speaking about squashing the bug.


    Vance: "..."


    Stomping and kicking him to death? Mistake? He couldn''t understand how he offended Ms. Evans while his mind was ming everything on Shawn Rivas for filling her with his past.


    Aarvi called him near with her hand as she took her mobile from her handbag. Shawn was curious to know what she was up to.


    Aarvi yed a video and held it in front of Vance to watch.


    Vance saw a couple, building the sandcastles, they were far so he couldn''t clearly recognize them. They were about to start another one but they got up and went aside.


    Vance''s eyes widened looking at a man entering. He kicked and stomped the sand art and walked away. He knew it was him and looked at Aarvi who pointed him back to the video.


    Vance anxiously gulped his mouthful of spit and looked at the video. The couple didn''t build again and came towards the camera making their appearance clear and clearer. ''Aaron Rivas and Ms. Evans?''


    Aarvi shoved the mobile into her handbag and asked, "How dare you destroy it?"


    Vance stammered to ask, "You avenging for that?"


    Aarvi promptly shook her head and revealed how she avenged for it, "You lost the Ebony project because you destroyed our sand art. I thought you should know from when your downfall started."


    Aarvi turned around to zip and take the handbag by ignoring frozen Vance who finally understood everything was nned. She again faced Vance and smiled a beautiful and genuine one.


    That smile Vance always craved to see whenever he faced her, that smile which haunted him for many days making him regret actions. But now that smile reminded his despair.


    Aarvi gratefully spoke, "Thank you Mr. Hays for ditching the wedding."She wore her sunsses and went towards President Hays. Since Leon wants to make sure Ava Kelly is alive, she used Vance for it.


    Vance''s low tone left his lips, "A- Ava…" However it didn''t fall on her ears.


    President Hays was dead tired of pping his son repeatedly. "Let''s take a break, President Hays."


    She continued when he turned to her, "I won''t touch yourpany."


    President Hays was finally getting relieved but she continued, "I can''t stop Dax though."


    President Hays: "..."


    She took a step closer to the old man, "You were right, I can shine in the business field if I work diligently. I am the President of Skr."


    The door flung open and two men in ck nodded at her, Aarvi left without caring about President Hays who fell on the ground without being able to take the blow.


    ''President of Rivas Industries and the mysterious President of Skr'' He thought before passing out.


    Payback to the Hays family - Checked.

    As soon as Aarvi stepped out of the office room with Shawn, the Shadow team member reported, "They have covered us. Leon Harmon is in the elevator heading here, right now."
