The Traps of the Black Swan

Ruby Jane pouted. She felt like she was turning dumb around Lisa.

Lisa let out a throaty chuckle pulling her to his embrace as he planted a soft kiss on her forehead.

Karsen who was holding Megan from going and slapping Seungri in the face turned to a source of quiet laughter. Megan paused and turned to Lisa as Jisoo.

The three couldn't believe they were romancing when such a huge fiasco was going on. It then flashed to Megan and Karsen that Jisoo had asked them the question about domestic violence.

"Guys, what's going on?" Megan asked strongly, feeling one of them involved in the current event.

Jisoo didn't know how much to speak but he didn't want to lie.

Ruby Jane voluntarily answered only the required response, "Seungri tortures his wife. He always keeps her under his radar. This is the best time to save her. That lady is a psychologist." Then she slightly bowed her head, "I am sorry about disturbing the banquet."

Ruby Jane expected  one of them to be mad but the duo smiled, "Why didn't you arrange someone to beat the shit of that gormless man?" Megan questioned.

Karsen told his concern, "Saving a person from an animal is more important than a few million. You should be proud that you brought to light on it."

Ruby Jane smiled in response to both. She was glad they weren't narrow-minded and tried to understand it.

Megan stopped struggling to go up to them and watched as it unfolded. Karsen dialed the chief of police despite knowing Seungri was going to escape it somehow. His main concern was avoiding Seungri from threatening Eliza Lane's life or Aeon Harmon.

Lisa whispered next to Ruby Jane's ear when she was sighing to herself, "We will always stand by you. No need to stress on it."

Ruby Jane hummed before she walked to the crowd with Alex at a good distance. The waiters who were arranged by Ruby Jane also became alert knowing she was entering the crowd.

The psychologist made Eliza sit on the chair and helped her drink water, Eliza took time to steady herself but still looked hazy due to the drinks.

The psychologist asked very carefully. "Does your husband doubt that you have an affair? Or did you have an affair that he can't trust you?"

All became ears to the question as they were sure the drunk Eliza was blurting out all the truth. Eliza didn't get the psychologist's words correctly other than heard a few words of it.

"Affair?" She asked before trying to whisper but it was louder, "It's a secret."

The crowd's opinion wavered. If a wife has an affair, how could the husband tolerate it? They felt Seungri's behavior justifiable even though domestic violence is illegal.

But the psychologist was calm, "Is it your secret affair?"

Meanwhile, Seungri who was spaced out felt a piercing glare that sent shivers down his spine. He got to his senses and caught the black dazzling diamond-like orbs mocking him, her ruby red lips sneered as she moved slowly at a good distance.

He crumpled the note that was in his hands glaring back at her eyes. The people around her shrunk and trembled but not her.

He heard a hiss of a few and dawned on him Eliza was drunk. He jerked around and witnessed Eliza frowning hard and pushed the lady in green.

The lady probably expected it so she easily stabled herself and all heard Eliza hiss in annoyance, "I don't have an affair. It's my husband. He used to sleep with many ladies. He even forced many of them."
