Chapter 527 - Alluring but a sin

Aarvi took care of the things that needed her attention. She notified the two members of the  Shadow team to be close to her and the rest to keep an eye from a distance. She heard no discontent in them, instead, they suggested using a few more members to be safe. 

Anyway, Skylar guards were there to escort her in and out of the police station and she didn't think Leon had plans to kidnap her unless and until he didn't want Aaron Rivas to burn him alive. Leon was a man who plays safe to keep his wealth safe, he wouldn't risk his life.

She was thinking of informing the Rivas family… Scratch that, her family about her evening plan but her reflection on the glass window caught her attention.

The situation didn't want a sweet-looking girl who will be seen as weak to society, but a woman whose words should bring fear or shut them up and appear dependable for those in need. She decided to drop by Skyarc to change.

Turning to face the three, she was expecting at least one in three to stop her in fear of her safety, but they didn't. "Be careful Aarvi," Jordan suggested concerning Leon planning dirtier against her and keep note of her safety

"GiggleMug, come home after work. Don't stay alone." Megan had a faint smile.

Connor nodded at her, "If you need help, call us anytime."

Aarvi smiled at them. She understood they don't have biased opinions on women. They believe in her and give the same support as given to Aaron or Shawn. "Please have dinner and take a rest. No need to worry, I will be in touch with Shawn."

Shawn came out of the study in a foul mood. He clutched the couch and questioned with irritation towards Leon, "Leon Harmon is doing this. Isn't he?"

Aarvi half shrugged as they had no proof and it was their guess.

"I need to kick his a.s.s. How dare he separate bro and Little Heart today?" Shawn hadn't thought of Leon when Aaron left the city. Now he was sure that Leon was sending Aaron far to make Aarvi helpless.

But he wanted to snigger on Leon's face. Aarvi wasn't helpless by being alone, instead, she would be more ruthless to dust off her hands quickly.

Since Shawn was also feeling the same, Aarvi wanted to burn Leon's veins giving in to the urge of going near Aaron but she can't use the flight to reach Aaron and it will take more than six hours by road.

She held Shawn's shirt and pulled him out. She told her plan so that he could hide it from the family. However, Shawn was worried, "If something happens to you, then I will be dead. Bro will skin me alive."

However, looking at her sulking, Shawn gave in to her with lots of conditions and let her go.

At Harmon mansion,

Since Aaron wasn't there, he thought it was the perfect chance to put Aarvi in trouble as he knew she would definitely leave the Rivas mansion to address the problem.

Thinking of many options, a wicked glint flashed in his eyes. Moving away from the bay window, he grabbed his mobile and dialed Charlotte's number. He had expected her to be smart and she didn't disappoint him. As she was digging up about Aarvi's identity and money laundering case to prove her chief, Major Louis is wrong.

Such an ambitious woman was always easier for him to trick. [Hello?!]

"Ms. Parkinson, have you watched the news?" He paused. If her mood isn't alright, she might rile up so he toned his voice to sound helpless, "I know your team doesn't work on money laundering or drugs, but you still protect the country, don't you?"

He breathed a long sigh as he continued, "If only you could have taken action."

[What do you mean?] Charlotte's voice came out cold.

"No… Nothing much." He tried his best to sound convincing, "I was thinking since her three restaurants are caught she might be trying to clean up. You know, the cops are always late to the crime scene." 

He continued to slowly indoctrinate Charlotte until she warned him adding, [You will regret if you are tricking me.]

Whereas Leon knew his work was done.

Something this major wasn't first for Rivas Industries but Skylar, as illegal drugs provoke almost all field netizens. And this was also the time to see who were foes and allies.

Aarvi was listening to her team update about the information they had gathered so far while she was driving her car towards the city to go Skyarc. Her car was stopped by a military man, hand signaling at her

The cases are under the local cops, so why is the military waiting for her?

Aarvi smirked looking at the men in military trousers but not shirts. She couldn't believe Leon turned out to be smarter after his treatment started.

'Who did he manipulate this time?

Angling the dashboard camera of her car, "Guys, the men in military uniform stopped me. I will send you a picture, please update me with the details quickly." She instructed her team as she can't trust them to be military men.

[Yes, boss, be safe.] The response came quickly. She held her mobile in her hand before rolling the window down as she signaled the Shadow to wait for her cue.

Aarvi saw a man approach her car and demanded in a hoarse voice, "Miss, please cooperate with us. Alight the car..."

What trick did Leon use? He knew to seize a person as he wished.

Anywhere in whichever country, as much as she knew, the military didn't have any power in the city or citizens to take anybody under control without local cops'/administrator permission and support.

Of course, she won't argue with them because they could forcefully retain her. But that would have been successful if she was innocent and clueless. She knew to flip the game upside down. 

The man who asked her to get off the car furrowed his brows looking at her lopsided smirk. Her smirk was enticing but he noted the sly look on her face.

He glanced at his teammates assuming the information they had might be true. She was a fox under sheepskin, alluring but a deadly sin.

Aarvi stepped out of the car and leaned on the car gracefully carrying her signature serene look. "How should I cooperate with you, officer?" There wasn't a single peck of fright or uneasiness in her so those men understood she wasn't easy to handle.

"We got the news that you are carrying illegal goods and you are an illegal immigrant. Please show your passport, your Identification Card for verification." He spoke in a rigid tone carrying a stoic face.

Aarvi didn't show any changes and tilted her head. Her voice sounded sharp and clear, "Nope."

It wasn't that she didn't have the identification card, she didn't want to show it so that she could see how far they could go.

She was just a woman, so the man thought he could frighten her. His eyes sharped, eyebrows clenched while his intimidating voice reached her ears, "Miss, please cooperate so that we complete our task. Don't make it hard for yourself." 

Aarvi: (* ´ο`*)
