The Traps of the Black Swan (Book 2)

"GiggleMug, what happened?" Megan was first to ask while Jisoo had a mocking smile at Seungri taking away the wine flute from Ruby Jane's hand.

Ruby Jane gave an apologetic nod at Jordan and patted Megan's hand as her eyes sharpened back on Seungri who tried to show the Manoban family in dark light, "Is this how the great Manoban family treat their guests? I am impressed."

The right word Ruby Jane waited to hear from Seungri finally spilled out of his lips. Ruby Jane sneered, "Treat!?" She pitied the man who always constrained her in his imaginary boundaries as she could only do some stuff.

"President Harmon, why don't you learn first about how you should treat your family members?" She questioned. The guests started looking at each other as the news of Seungri beating his wife became fresh. Hearing family members, they recalled Seungri came to the hotel with Elder Harmon.

Seungri's expression shifted, understanding his biggest mistake for the night. His grandfather and his grandfather would never support him. Seungri was quick to recall Lisa wasn't in the hall and Ruby Jane came inside alone.

Seungri turned to the entrance of the banquet hall. Taking every Ruby Jane's past actions' perfect timing, Seungri was sure Elder Harmon should appear there.

Bang on!

Lisa helped an old man walk inside the banquet hall. Following Seungri's line of sight, everyone turned to the door and gasped in shock. They couldn't believe their eyes thinking Seungri couldn't look after his own grandfather well.

What could they expect more from the man who beats his wife? The question people had on their lips.

Jaxon leisurely sipped his wine and commented, "My little sister is indeed crafty." He could guess, Ruby Jane had no proof to counter Seungri so she created one for herself.

Zain's hands paused in mid-air, clutching the stem of his flute tight before he corrected Jaxon, flashing him an irritating smile, "My Little Sister!!" Zain wanted to dump that man somewhere.

Ziva giggled silently. Jaxon was purposefully saying Ruby Jane as though they were blood-related brother and sister as he enjoyed Zain frowning and correcting him repeatedly.

Well, at the other end, Lisa pressed his lips to a thin line, witnessing the old man pretending to be haggard.  When Lisa and Ruby Jane had gone inside, Lisa knew Elder Harmon would understand them after hearing them, but Elder Harmon was energetic when he saw Ruby Jane and was excited knowing Ruby Jane had Lisa and vice versa.

Looking at him, purposefully sighing, acting weak, might fall on the floor any time soon, Lisa felt like his wife was earning admirers from all the ages.

Ruby Jane used to think in the past days what if Seungri kills Elder Harmon when he finds no way out. She hadn't planned anything for it as bringing Elder Harmon out of the Harmon mansion wasn't easy. Even if she manages, he could change the whole scenario as she kidnapped Elder Harmon.

Now that she got the idea to keep the old man safe from Seungri in front of the clan of Mocon, how could she let go of the chance?

"President Harmon, did the wine taste better after locking Elder Harmon in a room?" Ruby Jane asked craving to throw another glass of wine at him.

Then her voice lowered and sounded dark, "Pray that it wasn't your blood." It only heard the people close to her.

"You-" Seungri took a step towards her pointing his finger at her. Megan involuntarily pulled Ruby Jane close to her and Jordan stood between Seungri and Ruby Jane in reflex.

Before Seungri could take another step, Roach pushed him back, "Keep your hands off, President Harmon." He warned.

Ruby Jane: "..."
