Chapter 618 - A Long Lost Son



At Mocon,

The conference at the palm island had started. Dax got a message from Aarvi mentioning, the things aren\'t bad, but they weren\'t good either. So Skylar had only a fifty percent chance of getting the resort. 

It wasn\'t the first project Aarvi was handling directly but this was the first project she was handling after announcing her identity to the world so Dax genuinely wanted her to return with the project to shut some of the mouths who were thinking Skylar was standing because he was the one who is an operational executive officer. 

He would have smacked their faces and told them the working style of Aarvi and him but it was better kept confidential for company safety.

After the morning meeting, Dax left Skylar towards the Kelly villa. Today he needs to pretend to be the savior of the Kelly family. Since he knew Aarvi wasn\'t saving the couple but a part of her game, he had no complaints about appearing at the villa at a very crucial time of the Kelly couple

Saturday, he had seen Maisie and Shane scratching up here and there to go and look for people to help them as their mobiles were confiscated. Hence Dax had left a man behind to keep himself updated. Shane and Maisie were too prideful to ask for help hence they ended up reaching the Burnette family. 

Dax was surprised to get the information, Maisie\'s brother asked his assistant to lie as the Burnette family was out of the country. He wasn\'t sure how Aarvi was able to achieve it but was proud of her.

Then the couple ended up in front of the Kelly mansion. Harshly questioned by the reporters while they demanded entry inside. Well, it only ruined their image more and more.

Then they tried to look for a few people who the couple had thought of as their friends. Maisie and Shane just got their wounds rubbed with salt hearing their words, or else, they would hand them a hundred bucks for taxi charges.

Dax knew why none were willing to help. One, they didn\'t want to risk their money with no return hope. Two, when President Kelly wasn\'t helping them, how would they be able to survive even if they gave them money?

Hence the couple was in a completely hopeless situation.

Maisie and Shane were arguing with cops who had gone to seal the property. They had no place to live so they were reluctant to live. Upon all that, they weren\'t the types to work slog hours with small work to survive.

Everyone fell silent hearing three cars stop in front of the villa. The hopes sparkled in the eyes of Shane and Maisie. 

A man from the black Bentley alighted the car first before the door opened and one by one each one got off the car and looked at the villa talking to themselves.

Maisie and Shane knew they were just the subordinates. The main person was still sitting in the Bugatti Chiron that was in the center, right in front of the entry to the villa.

Dax was on an important business call while driving so he completed it first before he opened the door. His eyes could see Maisie and Shane having their all hopes on him without guessing who he was. 

He was aware they were going to scorn at him, well he was ready to ignore that. He got out of the car and saw the Kelly couple\'s face turn dark immediately.

Maisie and Shane assumed Dax was there to laugh at them and offer them to beg him if they want him to help. So they feigned ignorance. The couple was about to argue with the officers but they were respectfully looking at Dax.

Maisie and Shane hated that to their bones. Dax was considered as the first generation into a wealthy family circle, whether the Grant family was fated to survive in the circle was still unknown. However, The Kelly and Brunettes were in the circle for a few generations, yet they were being treated like trash.

The couple could only curse the Rivas family and Hayden. They had thought Hayden would eventually help them looking at the negative news around the family. But it seems, the negatives were only coiled to the names of Maisie Burnette and Shane Kelly. They had seen news mentioning how uptight Hayden could be for his own family.

The team of advocates and Dax\'s secretary followed Dax towards the villa. The captain of the team greeted Dax with a shake of their hands. "CEO Grant, what brings you here? Are they owing you some large sun for you to appear personally?" He chuckled at the fate of the arrogant couple.

Dax faintly shook his head. He appeared to be grateful when his voice wasn\'t cold, "No, Captain Derick, Mr. and Mrs. Kelly are my old acquaintance. Their daughter was my best friend and helped me a lot. I thought it\'s my responsibility to give a helping hand."

The team of cops nodded in appreciation while Maisie and Shane stood frozen. They just couldn\'t believe their ears. 

\'Were they finally getting a helping hand to solve their problems? Wasn\'t he going to laugh at them? That Jinx finally came to a little help.\'

Shane awkwardly laughed, forgetting the punch Dax had given him on the wedding day of Ava Kelly and Vance hays. "Hahaha, as you can see, please give us till the end of the day to settle this." He told the cops and turned to Dax, "Dax, son… Come on in…" He pretended like a father of a long-lost son.

\'Disgusting.\' Dax wanted to cough some blood hearing Shane call him \'son.\' 

Dax gave a nod at Shane hiding his real expression of his feelings. Turning to the cops, "Why don\'t you all have a cup of coffee and snacks? After all, Mr. and Mrs. Kelly doesn\'t like owing people so I might fail to be helpful."

The Kelly couple and the cops: "..."

Why did that sound like a mock? 

Even though Dax made it sound like the Kelly couple were self-righteous people, doesn\'t the whole world already know the true color of the Kelly couple?

Dax didn\'t wait for a response. He turned to his secretary, "CEO Grant, I will arrange right away." The secretary turned to the captain, "Captain Derick, how about resting under the tree shade till then? It would be bothersome to go back and forth."

Captain and his team didn\'t find it odd so he nodded and followed the secretary while the Kelly couple, Dax, and the advocates went inside.

The advocates were speechless looking at Dax being overdramatic that didn\'t suit his personality even a bit. "Master Kelly, Madam Kelly… Please have a seat. Don\'t bother about treating me as a guest."

Silent Maisie had a bad feeling about all these. If they had treated Ava wholeheartedly and Dax helping them was feasible but… When Dax got to know how they truly treated Ava Kelly, he was no less enraged than Zain who wanted to strangle them. So blindly believing his words as he was going to help them was foolishness.

While Shane was racking his brain about how to swindle more money from Dax, Maise spat her words suspiciously, "What are you up to?"

Shane tugged at her as he mumbled in annoyance, "Stop causing a scene." Maisie shrugged his hand and glared at Dax.

Dax let down his act and sat on the armchair. He crossed his legs resting his arms on the arm of the chair and a dangerous smirk appeared on his face looking at the couple.
