Chapter 187: Book of business history

Levi just sent a message to ex-military men who got ready in just fifteen minutes reaching the assigned pickup places.

Levi was in formals and drove his car. For the rest, he arranged hummers.

It was quite a scene on the street when six hummers followed a sports car...

Aria entered inside in low profile and saw nearly fifty unknown faces. 

The Morgans and Coopers hated to entertain unknowns in their places which the whole business world, wealthy families knew including the Parker family.

She might have agreed if she was informed earlier but she never liked them using her. 

She saw maids were running around them with Sophia.

Sophia had full freedom under Aria. She had the freedom to say whatever happens but Sophia didn't want Aria and the Parker family to fall out.

Aria patted Sophia's shoulder and threw her tray on the floor to get everybody's attention.

Abey and Saira were flustered.

Calvin who was at the bar was waiting for a good show.

Kite gritted her teeth seeing everyone run towards Aria.

But before anybody could get near her, four maids created a reasonable distance between them.

"President Cooper."

"President Cooper, I'm from Ruan Publications, If you are free and give me an appointment, I would like to take your interview."

"President Cooper, I have Organic farms…"

... ... ...

Aria didn't care about anybody or their greeting.

Aria's gaze was piercingly cold looking at Abey. "Speak."

Others gulped and became silent instantly.

Abey had no idea how Aria was in the company so he never saw her in that state. "I... I..." He couldn't make himself say anything.

Kite snorted, "Arrie, they came to meet me. They are your brother-in-law's friends."

Aria smirked, "I have only one brother-in-law that is Rian Morgan. I don't remember him having beggars as friends." 

She had seen them gobbling down food and drinks like they hadn't eaten food from days.

"Arrie!" Kite howled.

Aria just hummed and a maid on her right went ahead and slapped across Kite's face without mercy.

"Kite Parker, this is my mansion. Who the hell do you think you are to shout at me?" Her tone wasn't high but it was clear and crisp.

"Arrie, I'm your sister. Are you insane?" Kite cried laying on the couch holding her cheek embarrassed and angered because it happened in front of many people.

Aria just glanced at the maid again who gave another one across her face leaving the whole hall to go mute. 

The rest understood that they shouldn't make a sound until they were asked to speak.

Aria's four maids were well trained in fighting skills. Sophia too but she was aged. And they had no idea Aria was trained in some skills.

"Kite Parker, Weren't you, my sister when you tried to ruin my face? Aren't you, my sister when you and your friends are dissing me on social media with your alternate accounts? Aren't you, my sister when you became the admin of my anti-fan club? So keep your bullshi*t sister relationship with you."

Jason stuttered, "Aria, why are you..."

Aria cut in, "Who the freaking hell do you think to call me by my name?"

She turned her gaze back on Abey, "Are you mute?"

Abey never felt suppressing under anybody, not even Oliver Cooper so he started to stutter out. "Aria, Kite's in-laws and their friends wanted to meet her here so I..."

Aria smirked, "I don't remember permitting you for that."

She turned to Sophia and her voice sounded amiable, "Aunty Sophia, why are you working as a server? Why don't I know there is something going on here?"

Aria waited long enough for Sophia's response before grunting, "Leyla."

A maid stepped ahead and briefed about everything Aria should know from the day before. 

Everyone could feel the icy cold air suppressing everyone to even breathe as Aria's eyes darkened completely changing her demure by the time maid finished talking.

Sophia tried to calm Aria, "Young miss, it's fine. I am not hurt."

Aria ignored and went straight to Abey and slapped without a second thought. 

The thing which Sophia didn't want to happen, happened in front of many people.

"Aria." Calvin grunted and strode towards her fuming high.

He was about to pull her arm aside to make her face him but a maid locked him pinning on the ground in a split second and waited for Aria's order.

Aria asked to release him and faced Calvin.

"Why? Got hurt seeing your father getting slapped by a young girl? Calvin Parker, Aunty Sophia is older than your father. When you can get angry, are you expecting me to reward your father? Why didn't you react yesterday? Aren't you brother to me also? How could you stand and see a random man entering my room when I was asleep?"

She turned to Abey, "And you, Wasn't I clear to you on the first day? Who did I say was important between you and Aunty Sophia? This is my place, who gave you permission to get these annoying people in yesterday? Even when those people came, who the hell gave you permission to take those people upstairs even when Aunty Sophia stopped you all?"

Calvin, Kite, Saira were fuming.

Abey couldn't believe he was slapped by his niece just because he hit the housekeeper.

A servant.

A servant? Seventeen years Sophia looked after Aria like a mother without making her feel the lack of motherly love. 

How could she just be a housekeeper to Aria?

Suddenly they heard a commotion and twenty armed military men entered inside and spread out as the other two and Levi went up to Aria and spoke. 

A loud, clear, and crisp voice sounded.

"President Cooper, Some tried to enter the restricted area in the mansion. Waiting for orders to take control."

Aria's eyes swept on the guests who were trembling sticking to each other.

She responded, "I don't know any of them and they dared to enter my place. Check the security camera and make them pay for it. Whoever dared to enter my study will be sent to the detention center with the ones who stole things from here."

They all started to panic as soon as they heard 'the detention center'. 

Aria turned to Levi and her unyielding voice sounded, "Whichever the funds Vice President Parker sent without my permission to this man's company should be returned. File the case against both parties if they couldn't return. If they did, I want their company to go to the book of business history this week. Am I clear?"

Levi responded as he looked at the man, "Absolutely." 

He took Jason's picture and sent it to his men to know about him and his company before making them pay.

Jason and his family tried to get near Aria pleading for forgiveness but Aria didn't care, they knew Abel wasn't capable now so they didn't ask for it.

Abel tried to speak for long before he could voice it, "Aria, you knew about it?"

It was in millions each time. Of course, she knew. 

Aria started to doubt whether she really looks that gullible to people.
