How smart or cunning Maisie and Shane could be, Dax knew to simply overturn their decision into his way.

Why would he let Aarvi wait for many years before exacting her torture to the couple?

Doesn't that make her still hang in the past?

Dax was already against Aarvi visiting her parents. Even if she might pretend to be ignoring their words, he was sure as their biological daughter, she would be hurt hearing Maisie. Shane might bow down to the money thinking of frauding her for money and shares of Skylar, Maisie wasn't the same. For her, Aarvi's achievements and hard work were nothing. Her pride and ego stood above everything. She might slander Aarvi instead of surrendering or accepting her mistakes.

So Dax wasn't going to make Aarvi wait following Maisie or Shane's plan. And he had better business than just acquiring Maisie's studio and their shares.

Dax turned to the lead advocate who was sitting close to the couple. "Advocate Leson, how many days would it require to prepare a new agreement?"

The advocate was momentarily confused by hearing 'days' instead of hours or minutes. Looking at Dax's arched brows, he realized Dax was tricking the trickster. He quickly played along, "CEO Grant, the final copy would take a day so we can't complete the formalities today."

Dax nodded as he turned to Maisie and Shane. He appeared serious, "Alright then, I will send my team tomorrow." He said each word clearly and loudly.historical

Warning bells rang in Shane and Maisie's heads. If Dax leaves without giving them money, they will be thrown out of the house. So they needed the money immediately to complete all the procedures of collecting their things and papers by the end of the day.

Hence Shane shot up on his feet without awareness. He wanted to hold Dax if he tried to leave but Dax was seated without shaking. "D-Daxx, how about you give us money now, we can peacefully sign the legal papers tomorrow. It's not like we will run away from here."

'Do we look like fools?' The look appeared on the faces of the whole team who were standing by Dax.

Dax voiced their thoughts, "Then you could say I gave you no money. Right?" His sarcastic tone pierced their ear, slapping his face again.

Shane and Maisie gritted their teeth. Of course, Dax had no reason to trust them. Since he was ready to give them a higher amount than what everything cost, they didn't think they could get a better deal.

Maisie strongly believed Hayden will die sooner than later. If they continue to agitate him, she strongly believes he will die sooner at his age. So all she had to do was endure. Hence she boldly moved forward. "Then what do you have in store for us?"

'This arrogant woman.' The young advocates couldn't believe Maisie couldn't change her attitude even after all these.

Dax glanced at the advocate, who appeared to be annoyed by Masie and Shane. Yet, he nodded at Dax and stayed respectful.

"Mr. and Mrs. Kelly, please have a seat. I will explain to you clearly." he pointed to the couch. This was the plan Dax had narrated to him. It was just to lure the couple but he should sound tempting while staying at the losing end.

Maisie and Shane took their seats glancing at each other. They thought to add their clauses if they don't like something or feel the need for more.

"Initially we planned to buy off everything and pay your debt, considering you as parents of CEO Grant's friend. Since you are worried you will be left with nothing, let us make some changes in the same." He was patient and explained so that Maisie doesn't start her shrew behavior.

Advocate Leson glanced behind him where his assistant was standing. The latter fetched the copies of a file and handed it to Maisie for both of them to check.

Advocate Leson continued to explain the main parts while Shane and Maisie desperately read the papers. "We will still buy all your properties, shares, and studio.."

Maisie was about to shout again, Advocate Leson quickly tried to hold the peace, "Mrs. Kelly, hear me first. Then you can put forward your request. Arguments won't take us anywhere and we will waste each other's time. So please.." He felt so tired of talking to such people.

Shane patted his wife's back to hear complete, "Let's hear first.." Then he whispered, "Else we will be on the roads."

Maisie clenched her teeth. Only for the reason she didn't want to live a day on the roads, she held back and nodded.

Advocate Leson sighed internally and took a much-needed deep breath to have his calm exterior. "We won't only buy, we will also pay the extra debt you owe to the administration." He meant they won't pay the private borrowed money.

Shane had an objection over here. He wanted money in his hands so that he could squeeze some money into his pockets.

Advocate Leson continued without giving a break, "I am sure you are aware that the legal team or person you hire will charge you a lot. We have a big team to complete all the tasks very quickly."

"But.." Shane interjected but Advocate Leson lifted his hand asking him to wait.

"I know your worries. If we buy, you will not have anything. Don't worry, this is where we are adding the new clauses for you. One. We will give you fifteen years to buy back everything from us without interest. Two. We will let you stay in the villa without taking a penny."

These main two clauses were just to entice them to stay in the villa and accept the deal. The first one was to make them think they have a lot of time and they could take back everything. The second one was to make them a maid and helper to look after the villa.

Maisie and Shane had no idea their daughter was going to slap their face with a few hundred bucks calling them servants.

So Skylar and Aarvi were buying everything with useless clauses in it. With Shane and Maisie's current state, they wouldn't be able to gather such a large amount even if they sold themselves.

Dax looked at Maisie and Shane seriously considering the options as they could get to stay in the house. He faintly nodded to himself. Skylar was paying only for the things they were going to acquire for the business. The villa price, extra debt, and cars were being paid by Aarvi from her pocket.

In a way, Aarvi was still serving the filial duties without awareness. She was giving the roof to her biological parents in the name of torture. So Dax didn't think she owed anything to them. They gave birth to her, she will give them a roof to sleep on. He hoped Aarvi could get rid of any emotional attachment with these two bugs.

Advocate Leson smiled cunningly at the end, and praised them so that they could continue keeping their nose high up, "I am sure, for Mr. and Mrs. Kelly, fifteen years are too much for you. With your background and talent, you could gather twenty million in just a year."

Dax wanted to burst into laughter hearing the middle-aged Advocate getting rid of his frustration so sweetly.

Maisie pushed her chin up and forehead back with a smug smile, "Absolutely. Twenty Million is nothing," She agreed to the deal adding another clause saying they need a car too.

Dax wanted to roll his eyes. When Aarvi was twenty, she had more than twenty million by all her savings, small investments. If Aarvi was in Jose's place, the Kelly couple never would have seen this day.

Indeed, karma is a b*tch.

Now that his work is done, Dax decided to focus on his safety so that Aarvi doesn't worry about Leon attacking him. Tormenting the Kelly couple could be done sooner or later.
