The Traps of the Black Swan

55

Billy Craft ignored his painful cheek, a swelling eye circling with darkness, and laughed awkwardly, he apologized without sincerity so that he could escape from them, "Hahaha... My old age got me there. Sorry, I should leave. Hahaha." He needed to escape but the composure he showed had sweat dripping from his forehead, his hands were very clammy and trembling as he gritted his teeth looking for his secretary.

The fakeness was too prominent in his tone and stiff face therefore it was easier to understand. Yet Ruby Jane thought the youngsters might leave him considering him as at the age of their father. This much drama was enough for her to subdue an insect-like Billy Craft.

Probably it was her stroke of good luck, the things wanted to be easier for her. The reporters arranged in the mall had just witnessed the scene and were getting happy for the hot news. Firstly, Billy Craft is the president of a known company and had a public image to maintain. Secondly, the girls he commented on and checked out were of his daughter, Mia Craft's age. Mia Craft is a celebrity who always strived for a goddess image in the entertainment industry. Hence there was going to be a huge drama.

That's exactly what Ruby Jane planned. Tarnish the image of the Craft family - In the process.

While many felt it was the end and Billy tried to leave but he was blocked by a young man who held his collar and asked sharply, "You are searching for a graceful lady and you don't know how she looks. Why are you searching for her? To harass?"

Then everyone became enraged with their thoughts running wildly. A girl commented worriedly, "What if that girl is alone?"

A girl cowered next to her boyfriend saying, "He creeps me out to even walk alone anywhere."

"He is a dirty old man lusting over the young woman."

"Perverts like him should rot in the prison."

While the comments went on, Ruby Jane didn't feel sorry for Billy Craft even if the group might end Billy in the hospital or prison. Killing a person or supporting the person who harms deserves the same punishment. Billy is part of many of Seungri's deeds and an eye witness for what Jennie went through.

The news reporters who were just snapping pictures of Billy Craft started recording the video and some even started the live streaming on the media pages.

Ruby Jane nonchalantly shifted her left side hair parting to the right side covering her left side view from any camera that might capture her profile. She faced the disguised man in the waiter uniform who was watching her instead of the crowd and mishaps.

"You should be saving the man over there, isn't that your duty?" Ruby Jane asked and sipped her lime water without a hint of faze.

"Why are you hiding your identity?" That man asked controlling his urge to remove her sunglasses but the response he got was a pure smile causing him to lower his head.

...

While Ruby Jane and the man sat with unfathomable expressions, Billy Craft was shouting for his secretary to save him, "Jack... Jack... Jack... Where the f*ck are you?"

'Pooh' A young man swung his fist and punched the jawline of Billy.

'Ahhh...' That was a pretty hard blow on Billy who stumbled on his feet and fell down squeezing his eyes shut and his face turned to a grimace. Probably it was a simple and obvious decision by Billy that he had no chance and no point in retaliation which might end him up even more brutally.

Another man kicked Billy without mercy and it followed, many started kicking or punching him as they cursed the middle-aged man.

Billy curled up covering his face, pressing his hands on his head, swallowing the pain. The best he could do is to wait and it is his only option until the help arrives.
