Malric was unsure of the Carver family's inner workings, so he glanced at Owen. "What nonsense are you saying, Aria?" Owen's face reddened with anger. "When did I ever abandon you?" Aria spoke slowly, "I have proof, so just wait. Can you honestly claim your kindness to Mindy wasn't motivated by the benefits of her birth signs?""I..." Owen started. Aria cut him off, "Don't lie, Mr. Veyrith is watching. Lying before a priest might just bring karma knocking on your door."As a superstitious man, Owen grew fearful. He fell silent with his fists clenched. Malric could not bear hearing her words anymore. "Ms. Carver, you shouldn't treat your father this way as a daughter. The gods are watching." "Let them watch then." Aria was brazen and unconcerned. "You may not know this, but I never fall for any guilt-tripping tactics. "I repay kindness with kindness, and I return cruelty with vengeance—even if that person is my own father. As for others..." Aria surveyed the room. "Even more
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1032 Bad Omens
Others were wondering the same thing. Ian would not want anyone going to the backyard, so he glanced at Edwin. Edwin quickly replied, "It's just a crow. Someone's shooing it away." "A crow?" Fergus, ever sharp, smiled. "Where? I've never seen one." Poeta descended the stairs in fresh makeup. "That crow's been in the tree since midnight. Didn't you see it, Fergus?" The sky-blue gown she wore for today's performance was custom-made and well beyond her financial reach. She'd even borrowed money for the jewelry on her wrist. But she was confident that after today, she would cement her place in the Carvers and ascend to Janovin's elite.Surely Fergus bringing her along meant that he was ready to cut ties with Warren. She had waited years for this. She had been too young and naïve before, so she had simply accepted Warren's offer to further her studies abroad then. Thinking back, she should have schemed to stay with the Carvers. But thankfully, Fergus had not forgotten her. Desp
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1033 Some Prodigy
This so-called prodigy cultivator was not part of Aria's plan. But since Owen had eagerly brought this man over, she might as well put Malric to full use. Her words about bad omens carried less weight than Malric's. After all, they trusted him most. Malric did not contradict Aria. Though crows were traditionally auspicious, they were also known as harbingers of death. With such persistent calling, could something actually be here? Malric's brow furrowed. "Please, everyone, follow me to have a look." With a prodigy like Malric speaking, even Ian had no excuse to stop them. He wanted to throw Owen out. He was really a fool who caused more harm than good. Of all the people to invite, he chose Malric. Sure, he would work for money, but he was not truly on their side. Owen had not expected his plan to backfire. He had brought Malric to prove Aria's harsh fate would harm him as her father, not to investigate some crow! Despite his frustration, Owen had to follow since Malric was
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1034
Warren chuckled at this. He might not understand fortune-telling himself, but Aria was genuinely formidable. Things had been peaceful at his house, and his health had improved too. It was all thanks to Aria rearranging the Carver residence's layout when she first returned to Janovin. Warren had told no one about this. Ever since Aria's kidnapping incident, he had sensed an invisible hand slowly corrupting the Carver family. The formations at the mansion and hotel were clearly designed on purpose. Knowing the culprit understood fortune-telling, Warren kept Aria's arcane abilities secret from everyone. He would hide information about Aria until everything came to light, especially since people had been asking about her after the Panne Street incident. Warren had been very clever about this. From his perspective, Aria was absolutely qualified to guide this young priest. Malric had even tried to guilt-trip Aria because of his status, so Warren did not consider that worthy of a true
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1035
Aria's words struck deep, though her mention and praise of Malric was quite perfunctory. But she had achieved her goal by turning their own tactics against them. The family connections who had come to watch Aria's downfall now stared at Ian. Their eyes held suspicion instead of respect. They all believed in fortune-telling, so there could be no misunderstanding. Malric could not be wrong. Ian had indeed been manipulating things behind the scenes! To break a seemingly unshakeable alliance, all she had to do was simply destroy their common interests. Ian had been confident that these allies he had cultivated would always stand with him. On the surface, he seemed uninvolved, but in reality, he had backed the majority of the Carvers' minor shareholders. The family connections were part of a larger plan to eventually split the Carver fortune, each representing their own family's interests.But now, he had become their common enemy! Ian finally witnessed firsthand how the legendar
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1036 Ian Admits
Aria was trying to destroy the influence Ian built for himself in Janovin for 70 years. Aria locked eyes with Ian. "Saving Grandpa's life once earned you a lifetime of comfort. If the Carver family didn't genuinely care for you, they would have sent you away with a couple of dollars."After all, there were plenty of beggars who couldn't afford to eat at the time. Great-great-Grandpa couldn't bear to see a child begging in that era. That's why he decided to adopt you."Grandpa has never revealed your identity to anyone all these years. He has always treated you as if you were his elder brother."Aria's gaze darkened. "The Carver family owes you nothing, yet they have always been protecting you. Despite this, we're still the bad guys in your eyes."Aria stared at him with an icy gaze. "You know, you really remind me of a saying—some people will always be ungrateful, no matter what's done for them.""How dare you!" No one had dared to talk to Ian like this since he was a child. I
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1037 Have a Taste
After Aria finished speaking, everyone was in an uproar."Ashes? What ashes?""What is Ms. Carver talking about?"The relatives weren't the only ones who were puzzled. Even Warren and Fergus looked over. Aria had never mentioned anything about ashes to them.Ian never expected her to know about the ashes. An unprecedented panic crossed his face, but he quickly regained his composure.Ian had been to Mount Dracotigris and had studied fortune-telling. He would have known if someone had tampered with the layout. Thus, the only explanation he could fathom was Aria bluffing.Ian sneered. "This is getting more and more ridiculous. Everyone knows how skillful Mr. Veyrith is. If there were something unusual here, he would have sensed it by now."Malric lifted his chin when his name was mentioned. Moving his fingers thoughtfully, he stated firmly, "There's nothing supernatural or evil here. Ms. Carver, please watch what you're saying."Aria smiled. "There's a crow, isn't there? I don't
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1038 Start the Ritual
Ian's unease had reached its peak. He couldn't let the situation spiral out of control. He thought of his so-called family member who always claimed to value family ties.Ian looked toward the side. "Warren, how could I possibly be in charge of the company's matters? I don't even have the right to attend shareholders' meetings, let alone lead anyone on."Do you perhaps have some misunderstandings about me? I only helped Owen because he came to me. I don't wish to see you two falling apart."Owen, oblivious as always, blurted out, "Dad, don't blame Uncle Ian—it's my fault! You've always handled the company alone. Besides, I've always been useless to you."Since you never give me a chance to prove myself, I had no choice but to ask Uncle Ian for help. The shareholders were just following my instructions."Warren didn't even bother to look at him. Owen seemed to have inherited none of his genes."Mr. Owen, you're overestimating yourself," Aria interjected, stepping in as Warren rema

Aria continued, "Sky might really have a sick grandmother, but the way he put it is suspicious. When a man deliberately tries to make you feel sorry for him, that's a red flag. He's just trying to deceive you! "If it's not for love, it's for money. Sky's clearly after the latter. Stringing these clients along keeps them coming back to buy drinks. "Some ladies even got into fights over him at the club. I would say he's quite skilled at using such manipulation tactics." Manipulation? Claire's expression shifted, suddenly turning serious. Aria's smile widened. "To have a top escort with such sophisticated techniques, we definitely have to take a closer look at this place." She watched the nervous Sky inside, her tone light. "He's clever, and he's not just a pretty face." At her words, Landon raised an eyebrow. His fingers paused mid-air as he followed her gaze. He spoke in a low voice, "Since when did his type catch your interest?" He thought, "At least you used to have standa
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1211 How Players Manipulate
Sky's messages were surprisingly normal, which was a stark contrast with his club persona. If he hadn't been working at a club, he might have seemed like husband material.There were a few texts proving that point. "Sorry, I just got off work. I'm ordering takeout. You're probably asleep by now. Rest well, and good night.""Oh, were you at Nocturne? I wasn't in today. I was at the hospital with my grandma. Why didn't you tell me earlier? Let me know next time. I'll arrange my schedule."He maintained this gentle, measured tone with everyone. He even refused private money transfers.His response was always the same. "I actually don't like seeing you at the club, but it's my job. Stop sending me money. Keep it for yourself. Aren't you graduating soon? Take care of yourself, dummy.""Pfft, what a calculated move." Having built the dark web forum herself, Aria had seen plenty of these chat patterns. Juggling multiple conversations, they would pretend to just see messages when they wer
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1210 How to Spot a Player
Landon had always been great at analysis, and Aria knew he might be even better than her at it. In all her years of operating under the radar, she had never been caught. Yet while dealing with the Gunther family in Riveria, his tracking had cost her a modified laptop. "I also think someone else was there." Aria's gaze returned, a hint of mischief in her smile. "We'll need to dig deeper into those young women, including their top escort Sky." Nobody wanted a death on their hands. At clubs, sleeping with someone or waking up to demands for compensation was one thing. But death changed everything. As the one who served Luna drinks, Sky had become a key suspect. Unlike the college young women, Sky was brought in for questioning. Through the interrogation room glass, he appeared agitated and nervous. But he insisted he had only shared a few drinks with Luna, nothing more. "In this line of business, you can't ignore customers. You have to greet everyone who comes in. We have sale
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1209 Top Escort
Aria recalled the young women's testimony earlier. "We're different from Luna. This was her first time at Nocturne, and I've been here several times. Sky's the club's top escort, so we've seen him before." At first, that statement did not seem strange; it had felt like a perfectly normal response. Aria had not given it much thought. But now... Aria glanced aside. As the guard said, Luna could only get in through regular patrons. So after bringing her in, all the young women went to the washroom at the same time—what were the odds? As Aria chatted more with the guard, she gathered quite a bit of information. When they were leaving, he pitched, "Are you guys interested in working here? The pay is great; you'll earn a thousand dollars a day, plus commission." Aria raised an eyebrow. "Both of us? We're still students though. Is that okay?" Landon, who was long past his student days, gave her a meaningful look. Aria signaled him to play along, so he shook his head with an indulgen
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1208 Slander
"Understood." Orion's bodyguard immediately headed downstairs. At that moment, Orion didn't know that Aria had not gone to the Grishams at all. She was already inside Nocturne. Sitting in Luna's seat from that night, her gaze traveled upward as her expression shifted. Security cameras were everywhere. They were installed quite openly too. It was as if the club did not care who saw them, almost deliberately so. Aria followed this train of thought further... "Hey, you! This area's sealed off. How did you get in?" It was a club security guard. He did not realize Aria was connected to law enforcement. He assumed she was just a social media influencer sneaking in for attention. Even if she was a reporter, it wouldn't matter. The management had declared only the police had investigative rights, and no one else could try to slander the club. Luna's suicide had caused too much trouble. As staff members, they feared the club's closure. It was already temporarily shut down for a th
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1207 It Was an Accident
The man being scolded by Orion was Craig Jameson, a new member of the Chamber of Commerce. He was known for his venture capital connections and was even awarded for philanthropic work recently. But he now sat pale-faced. "I offered her money! She wouldn't listen, just kept backing away. I'm the innocent one here. Why am I the only unlucky one? Nothing happened to the others." He had not been alone in the VIP room last night. "It's too late for excuses." Orion drew from experience. "The police will trace this to you eventually. We need a strategy. First, fix your attitude." Craig looked confused, and Orion patted his back. "Think about your public image. Young women have been attracted to you before. On camera, she was clearly interested in Sky and mistook you for him. "Even if she didn't, maybe she actually liked you and wanted a one-night stand." "But how do I explain her jumping right after waking up?" Craig quickly grasped the key issue. Orion narrowed his eyes. "Rem
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1206 Inquiry
On the surface, this appeared to be a simple suicide case. Could there actually be more to it? Looking deeper, things did not seem to add up. A college student on the verge of graduation like Luna wouldn't just jump to her death. What happened before her suicide would be the key to this case. "Sorry for the misunderstanding." Aria smoothly shifted her approach, offering an apologetic smile. "I just started this job, and I think it's just tragic. Why would she take her own life?" Seeing her apparent inexperience and noticing Claire's earlier glance, the young women relaxed. "It's probably stress. We don't know much, but Luna often complained about her poor hometown. She didn't want to go back but didn't know how to stay in Ludwiten. Sigh, we don't really understand it all." Aria followed their lead and said, "So you're saying..." "We didn't want to mention this since it's not flattering, but Luna had some extreme ideas about staying in Ludwiten. She was pretty, so she though
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1205 Clearing Suspicions
"We've notified the deceased's family. They'll arrive soon. As the reporting parties, please wait a bit longer," the female officer said, stepping aside to check on some findings. Aria stayed where she was, her gaze darkened. These college students interested her more than the crime scene investigation. The police would soon determine the cause of death. The initial assessment suggested suicide. The trajectory of the fall and building layout would quickly reveal the floor she jumped from. Sure enough, the club manager stood there with a troubled face. "Honestly, we get thousands of customers daily. It's impossible to track every drunk woman's movements. We can't control who customers choose to leave with, right? "You don't know what it's like these days. When people meet at clubs and hit it off while drinking, they would just leave as a pair. We can't interfere with that, can we? "And nobody knows why she went to that floor. Now social media's saying our club isn't safe. I ho
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1204 Friend or Foe
"Make way, please make way!" The police struggled to maintain order at the scene. The location's fame naturally drew crowds of onlookers. Since the ones who reported the incident were college students, it made the situation seem even more tragic. "What happened?" "I don't know. I heard someone jump from the building." "Why would anyone do that for no reason?" "There's no official word yet. They just took the body away. They probably couldn't save her anymore." Amid the murmurs, Aria looked toward the scene. Through the crowd, she could see a few young women crying while a female officer named Claire Mitchell consoled them. "Don't worry, we'll investigate thoroughly." One of the young women spoke through tears, "Officer, we had no idea this would happen. She was gone in just a moment. Yes, she drank too much last night, but we were all supposed to be having fun together." The young women appeared visibly shaken. Claire knew nobody could stay calm in such incidents. "Do
