Chapter 96 : Meeting (2)
"Miss Ember, I'm discussing a confidential information with the patriarch. How do you expect me to announce it to everyone?" Das asked while trying his control his anger to not spank her butt.
"Haha... stop talking nonsense. These are all the supporters of the Reddy family. They deserve to know about it as the also wish for welfare and well-being of Reddy family." Ember said loudly so that she can gather major support from guests. n()0velBIn
"My dear daughter-in-law, it is a crucial information related to tomorrow's peace meeting... we can't rule out the danger of spies. That's why we are not announcing this information." The patriarch explained trying to calm her down as Das is feeling annoyed with her brainless behaviour.
"Father-in-law, then why are you trusting him?... maybe he also a spy sent by Shetty family!?" Ember cried out while pointing a finger at Das.
"Miss Ember, if the patriarch thinks I'm a spy... I will leave this villa without another word." Das replied as she is blaming him with a threatening finger.
Ember looked at the patriarch for his answer. She expected that the patriarch will support her as she is an important member of his family. But the patriarch completely ignored her and stood up to announce something as the topic is going somewhere because of the Ember's intervention.
"Everyone, the meeting is over. Please have dinner before leaving." Michael announced before sitting back. But his announcement made Ember more irritated.
"Father-in-law, why are not announcing our standing tomorrow. All these people came to know about that information." Ember asked loudly as she stood up in a protest.
loudly as she stood up in a protest.
The patriarch held his forehead with indignation. The old man understood the patriarch's burden... so, he stood up slowly to say something for all the guests.
"Everybody, the Shetty family is not going offer peace tomorrow. The blood duel is inevitable. So, prepare for war." The old man announced in a moderate tone while gesturing everyone to leave the meeting hall.
After listening to the old man, everyone immediately left without saying another word. The patriarch, old man and patriarch's son and daughter stayed back. Also, Ember moved closer to the patriarch table as she also want to hear this confidential information.
"Richard, take Ember for a walk... spend some time with her." The patriarch ordered his son as he is not feeling good with the Ember's presence.
Richard stood up without saying another word. He waited for Ember without asking her out. Even though the engagement is already happened between Ember and Richard, Ember never allowed Richard to touch her finger. That is why he is feeling moody around Ember.
"Father-in-law, I'm also part of this family. Let me here what this poor fellow is whispering." Ember made a request ignoring Richard who still stood beside her with an empty hand. As she insisted to stay, the patriarch allowed her with an annoyed face.
"Now tell me Das, who gave seven thousand crores ($850M) for the Shetty family? Is he a powerful person?" The patriarch asked with an eager look.
"A young man named Jethin from the Verma family gave that money to the Shetty family. Not only money, he supplied strong fighters and connections with the top-level fighter organisations." Das replied while drinking a glass of water.
"The Verma family is a strong force in Delhi, they mainly control the brothel business. I never thought they want to snatch the business in Mumbai." The old man commented with an angry face.
"Das, even if he supports the Shetty family, they lost their family members... I still think that they will offer peace." The patriarch replied with a moment of thought.
"Patriarch, think about the money matters. The Shetty family lost seven thousand crores, if they backdown now, they need to return that money to the Verma family."
"Do you think the Verma family will ask for money... no, they will grab the black-market business from Shetty family. So, the Shetty family did not have the option of backing down."
"More than that, till now they did not spend a single coin from their pocket." Das explained calmly ignoring the scrutinising gaze of Ember.
"Das, how do you know all this information? Are you spying on Shetty family?"
Ember asked without giving the patriarch a chance to discuss things peacefully.
"Patriarch, I already said what I know... It is your choice to believe it or not. Now, if you please excuse me, I need to go for my work." Das said as he stood up to leave. The old man immediately stooped Das from leaving.
"Das, don't take her words seriously. She is still a child... Luna, take Das for dinner." The old man asked Luna to take care of Das as he is feeling annoyed with the constant poking of Ember. Luna immediately stood up and dragged Das towards the kitchen.
Ember felt like she was completely ignored. With an angry look she looked at Richard who is seriously checking his phone with out caring about Ember's feelings.
She immediately stood up and left outside with an angry face. The patriarch patted Richard to follow her.
"Michael, what do you think of this matter? Should we do something?" The old man asked the patriarch to know his opinion.
"Father, I don't know how to deal with this matter. But the truth will be revealed tomorrow." The patriarch said with a serious face.
"Michael, don't worry. If the Shetty family still challenge us for a blood duel... I will personally visit the Verma family in Delhi to solve this issue." The old man said to give a moral support for the patriarch.
After coming out of the meeting hall, Luna directly took Das to her room and she personally went to kitchen to bring nice food for Das.
Das received a phone call from Ria, seventh sister of the brothel chain. Das picked up the call instantly with a happy smile.
