The Traps of the Black Swan (Book 2)

382

While Ruby Jane and Lisa were busy adjusting their new lifestyle, Aeon successfully managed to get the investment and penalty fee from Cornbell for the losses of the Harmon Industries. He merged Amiah Entertainment with Harmon Industries.

The Parker family lost the chance they waited for. The majority of shareholders were extremely happy with Aeon. As he stabilized the company, he also gave the next quarter goals of the company. Elder Harmon was satisfied and content to see Aeon slowly but effectively managing the company.

Sean flew to country E to attend the cuisine university. Eliza or the Lane family didn't ask for separation of the Lane company from Harmon. Instead, she asked for support in her small business. She looked after her family and often visited the Harmon mansion to meet Elder Harmon.

Meanwhile, Seungri's cases continued to get complex as time passed. It had been six months, many court sessions, Nikun was giving no way out for Seungri from any cases. The jury panel was ready to announce verdict with enough evidence they had. However, they have to follow rules.

Dylan, who spent more than six months in isolation, suddenly got on his feet, shaved cleanly. He asked for home service to cut his hair. After freshening up, he wore his suit that wasn't fitting him anymore.

After getting ready, he went out taking a taxi. He got permission to meet Seungri at the prison. Sitting at a booth, he waited and saw Seungri entering inside at the other side of the panel.

Both sat and looked at each other. Once the two brothers ruled the business field side by side. There was no match to their smartness and wickedness. They were handsome, one was respected and another one was admired as an idol man. Now they were none of that. They had dark circles, their charms had reduced, they looked weak with no ego in their eyes. Even their appearance said they lost everything.

"You are alive." There was a hint of mockery in his tone. He believed Dylan was dead hence he never came.

Dylan didn't respond.

Seungri asked, "Did you do all these to your dead girlfriend?" He sighed, "She loved money, our second name. Neither you nor me." He told the truth.

Dylan hadn't thought that before. But after hearing Ruby Jane, he believed that, though he didn't want to accept it.

Seungri waited for Dylan to speak but the latter was mute. He couldn't understand why he was there either. "My money is still in my account. Take it and leave the country." He couldn't come out, he couldn't live his life, so he thought Dylan should live, ruining Ruby Jane's plan. He wanted one win to his bag, just one.

Dylan lifted his hand. Through the small hole, he pushed a sharp blade that he had sneaked it inside. "You might need it, Brother Seungri." He voiced in an exhausted tone. Then he stood up, jarring the chair on the floor.

Seungri ruined his life afraid of an adopted son taking his place. Dylan ruined his life due to hatred against Seungri. They lived the glorious days together and destroyed each other to no return.

Dylan somehow felt responsible for their states. He bowed to Seungri and walked away.

Seungri didn't understand what just happened. He took the blade and hid between his fingers when the cops asked him to leave. For a second, his hand trembled thinking Dylan might have given blade to him to escape from the prison. Then he sighed. The prison warden would kill him instead of losing against his threat.

Returning to the stinking room, he sat down on the bench looking at the blade for a long time. Then he got a tasteless dinner, he ate and stared at the blade again as if making his mind for something. The lights turned off at eleven in the night. Seungri, who was staring at the blade, slit his throat.
