The Traps of the Black Swan

Hearing the advice of Megan, Jordan was thinking if everything could really get normal but his train of thoughts broke when the butler announced, "Master Fisher arrived."

Megan stood up elegantly and took a seat on a different couch completely replacing her spoiled girl behavior with the graceful daughter-in-law of the family.

Jordan's face was poker when Master Fisher entered inside hurriedly, trying to maintain his poise. "Elder Manoban, Madam Manoban. My apologies for turning up unannounced."

Jordan and Megan nodded at him and the latter pointed couch for him to sit. A maid quickly served the glass of water as other refreshments weren't required.

Megan knew it wasn't time for him to enjoy refreshments so she had asked not to bring them out.

Master Fisher was edgy sitting on the couch, "Elder Manoban, please give the last chance to Naomi, I promise to send her out of the city or even country. She will never trouble any of you. Please talk to Lisa." He rubbed his palms uneasily pleading with Jordan to help him out.

Jordan remembered when the Fisher family was throwing comments on Fiona Knox but their daughter turned up more notorious that crumbled their pride and ego.

Jordan didn't want to give any hope by saying he will talk to Lisa. "Jason, as much as you are craving to protect your daughter, Lisa is doing the same. Don't expect me to talk to Lisa when you and your wife have encouraged her to go out of hand."

Megan had expected Jordan to carefully handle the matter, she hadn't anticipated that Jordan could cut off the further conversation in the beginning.

Master Fisher pursed his lips and lowered his head. 'Encouraged.' Yes, they did. When Naomi had first whined to Elder Fisher about Ruby Jane being next to Lisa and provoking her, Elder Fisher had scolded her to behave.

Hence Naomi had stopped dissing Ruby Jane in front of Elder Fisher and started bitching Ruby Jane with them. They always felt Naomi had a point and supported her unconditionally.

If he had stopped Naomi in the beginning, would everything be different now? Might be, but it was too late.

Master Fisher was thinking about what to do, Megan suggested, "Master Manoban, how about you wait for Lisa aron to return? There might be a way out if Naomi apologizes sincerely."

Jordan internally sighed. Other than his stubborn wife, he finds every lady of Manoban family too kind and men, too cold.

Master Fisher was already aware Lisa will return the next day evening and cops will send Naomi for trial within twenty-four hours of custody.

If the complaint isn't taken back or proven false, Naomi will have to stay in the police station the whole night and she will attend trial the next day.

If Naomi accepts her wrongdoing, she might be imprisoned for three-six months plus a huge fine. If the defense attorney states strong reasons, there can be chances to revoke Naomi's medicine practice license.

What could be worse for a doctor?

He stammered to ask, "Actually, Ms. Evans can take the case back as the main victim of the whole situation is her. I will apologize and ask Doctor Brown to forgive Naomi."

Jordan frowned. Contacting Ruby Jane was difficult unless they contacted her through them. But he didn't want to contact Ruby Jane to ask for a favor when she had repeatedly borne Naomi's foolish attacks.

Would he have agreed so easily if Ariel was in Ruby Jane's place? Jordan knew he would have shown hell to Noami in that case so he stayed quiet.

Master Fisher noticed Jordan was reluctant to talk to Ruby Jane so he suggested again, "How about I request her? I.. I don't know how to contact her."
