MasukAria Carver has never known that she's not related to the Kent family by blood. When her childhood sweetheart and the rest of the world turn on her, the Kent family kicks her out and tells her to search for her biological parents in the hole she'd crawled out from… Aria laughs it off. She's about to stun everyone by revealing her secret identity, but it turns out the "hole" the Kent family had mentioned is actually the richest family in Janovin, the Carver family! Over the course of a single night, she goes from the Kent family's fake daughter, who's despised by everyone, to the actual daughter of the richest man in the country. She also has six brothers who absolutely adore her! Her eldest brother is a domineering president. "Let's pause the meeting right here. Get me a ticket back to the country—I wanna see who are the people who have the nerve to bully my sister!" Her second-eldest brother is a famous celebrity. "Cancel the function. I'm gonna take my sister home right now." Her third-eldest brother is a god in his industry. "Postpone the competition. Nothing's more important than my sister." This rocks the country! The Kent family regrets every wrong move they make, and Aria's childhood sweetheart tries to win her back. But before she can reject him, Landon York, the president of York Group and the son of the renowned York family, proposes to her. It makes her the talk of the town!
Lihat lebih banyakTo Aria, it was hard for medical practitioners to demonstrate real skill when most hospitals relied on machines. Not everyone had the patience to learn the intricacies of traditional medicine, including the four diagnostic methods.Doctors not only had to remember dozens of acupoints but also choose the right herbs to treat patients. In most hospitals, only a handful of physicians actually knew how to check pulses. For some, the whole concept felt foreign.Machines erased that need. Staff only had to follow prompts from scanners and monitors. In the long run, that convenience might be useful, but it also encouraged dangerous overreliance."Thank you for the guidance."The doctors at Janovin Hospital understood the subtext and turned to leave. "Aria," Warren said as he hurried over. "You've lost some weight. Have you been skipping meals? Is it because you don't like the food out there?"Aria smiled calmly. "Not at all. Landon has been taking care of me. It's just that I had too m
Aria reached out and shook Caius' hand. "You're too kind, Mr. Walcott. It was just a small favor.""How modest of you! I know what you went through to retrieve these relics," Caius said warmly.Aria responded evenly, "Mr. Walcott, each relic was packed in a shockproof box and sustained no damage during transport. Mr. Ahern from Los Stratos also prepared an inventory list."Caius accepted the stack of documents but didn't look through them right away. Instead, he smiled. "Let's postpone the handover for now. You must be exhausted from the trip. I've arranged a private lounge for you, and there's a welcome party being hosted in your—""Mr. Walcott, I'm sorry, but we have other matters to attend to," Aria interrupted, her tone calm yet firm. "We'll have to pass on the welcome party and leave right now. The relics are in the cabin."Hearing that, Caius didn't press further. "Alright, then. We'll take over from here. Anyway, where are you headed? I can have my men drive you.""Janovin
Aria didn't say anything. She had felt bewildered ever since she discovered the two cultural relics in Draketown. At first, she thought it was just a coincidence and simply brought them along.Whether it was the relics from Draketown or the white opal brush washer and aquamarine seal before her, all were gifts she had once crafted for her fellow Hollowlight Sect arcane seekers. Each bore a unique mark and was one of a kind.But that raised a troubling question—how had they survived through the ages and ended up here, lying among other ancient relics?Landon's gaze lingered on Aria, tender and steady, his voice soft. "These relics, and the ones from Draketown, were made by the same person. They all have 'Aria' engraved at the bottom."Aria's voice was low and hoarse. "I made them. You were there when it all happened."Landon gently patted her shoulder, his tone warm. "I know. Maybe there's something we're missing. They could be connected to your fellow arcane seekers."Aria lifted
"Stand still." Aria's voice was low and sharp, and her body stiffened. The sound didn't seem natural.Landon and Madden stopped walking and slowly turned toward her. Lowering her head, Aria shone her flashlight on the steps beneath her feet. There was a small dent—it seemed she had triggered some sort of trap. Holding her breath, she slowly lifted her foot. The moment she did, rocks came crashing down from the ceiling, and the walls on either side began to close in. The entire space shrank in an instant."Run!"Aria seized Landon's hand and dragged Madden along as she sprinted to the third floor. Sam was right behind them, moving swiftly. The walls behind them were closing in faster and faster, and rocks continued to rain down from above. Madden, old and weary, was falling behind. It looked like the walls were about to crush him."Sam, grab Mr. Ahern and run," Aria instructed, glancing over her shoulder. Without hesitation, Sam hoisted Madden onto his shoulders and bolted
It was true that they were in the FBI headquarters, but Aria's anger had already reached a breaking point. When Sam heard that, he shrugged off his backpack and began hacking on his laptop.Wesson frowned when he realized Aria wasn't bluffing. "Wait, let's talk this out. If you kill me now, you won't get away either."Aria replied coolly, "Do you know you can die without anyone even touching you? Let me show you what that feels like."Wesson froze. "Listen, what happened to your family wasn't my doing. I only knew about it. I wasn't involved. He's the one you should kill."Aria's gaze darkened. "You were so arrogant a moment ago. What happened? I wonder why Sylas chose to partner with a coward like you."She was only keeping up the act because the surveillance cameras were still running. The moment Sam stopped typing and said the cameras were disabled, Aria immediately leaped to her feet. She clamped her hand around Wesson's throat and slammed him against the wall. "Tell me.
The vortex swelled and enclosed Warren, Fiona, and Homer.Just as it was about to swallow them, a gust of wind scattered it. The wind carried the presence of a primordial beast that seemed to frighten the restless souls trapped in the vortex."Who's there?" Sylas frowned and looked around.Finding no one, he asked again, "Who did that? Show yourself."A crow in a nearby tree flapped its wings in Sylas' direction.After hearing Sylas, it stopped and croaked, "I'm not someone you can afford to cross. If you value your life, leave now. Or…"Sylas tried to spot the speaker, but the voice seemed to come from every direction. Whoever could speak like that clearly possessed power that rivaled his own."It seems like you're here to save them." Sylas tried to look relaxed, clasping his hands behind his back. "Fine. If you're so keen on saving them, come out and face me. Don't be so mysterious."The crow fluttered its wings. It didn't feel confident enough to take Sylas head-on. Although
