The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1203 More Than Meets the Eye
Car horns blared through the street. Larry grew restless and was about to step out to check the situation. Aria suddenly asked, "What's that building?" "The Pinnacle Exchange Tower." Despite being irritated by the traffic, Larry remained respectful toward Aria. "Since this is your first time in Ludwiten's outer district, you might not know this. That building houses billion-dollar investment firms. And right across is our city's most famous stock exchange." Aria appeared lost in thought before closing her eyes. Just like viewing a 3D model, her mind reconstructed the scene without the traffic. She focused only on the incident site and surrounding structures. When she opened her eyes, their car had inched forward slightly. Aria's gaze fixed on another building. "What about that grand one over there?" "That's where all the young folks go!" Larry loved to chat. "It's been booming these past two years. People flood in there. My daughter even asked me for money to check it out,
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
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 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 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 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 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 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 1571 Bad Intentions
Miguel had worked so hard to climb out of being just another underpaid teacher. Most people would have been thrilled to land a principal job, but Miguel got greedy. He never cared about shaping young minds. As he often said, "It's just a paycheck. Only losers pass up money to preach about education." That mentality might fly in small towns, but in the big city, these kids wouldn't stand a chance based on merit alone. Miguel wasn't exactly looking down on his students—he just knew the situation in each class best. Students with or without local residency permits would face different college admissions standards. Rich families already had their children's overseas education lined up, so there was no sweat required. Even if they had bad grades, it wouldn't be a problem. They could still go abroad and buy themselves a fancy degree. Money talked, and that was the harsh reality. Miguel needed that Department of Education position to set his son up right. It was pretty ironic for a
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1570 A Carefully Laid Plan
Aria would definitely have the principal of Oakvale Academy detained eventually, but not now. The moment Miguel was in custody, the people pulling his strings would smell trouble. Based on past cases, they'd likely cut all connections immediately. All their carefully gathered leads could vanish in seconds. So Miguel needed to stay free for now and even remain in plain sight. Aria said, "Don't tell your principal about what happened today." She looked at Eden. "When you go back, just attend classes like how you normally do. If Mr. Sonder asks about you, tell him you're still thinking it over. "Show how nervous you are about this, but also hint that you're eager to go abroad. You're just not quite ready yet. "Don't tell anyone about our conversation. I've added you as a contact. If anything seems off, text me immediately. "Someone will be protecting you 24/7, and your family too. So don't be afraid." As she spoke, Aria stood up. "Let's go. I'll take you back to school. They
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1569 The Investigation Begins
"I don't know what Judy meant by that," Eden said as she looked up. "She never talked like that before." "Got it," Aria said, zooming in on the photo. By looking at the brand of the chocolate drink and the surrounding buildings, she could nail down the exact location. Without hesitation, she sent it to Sam for analysis. Something about this "interview" smelled fishy. She had to see firsthand what kind of meeting would change a simple and positive girl like Judy. "About those selected applicants—do you know exactly who they were?" Aria dug deeper with her questions. Once she had names, she could connect the dots between the students. These patterns would reveal what the buyers were looking for. Human trafficking was a high-stakes criminal business, and Aria did not believe this was just about exploiting young girls. The bar incident had been her wake-up call. She needed the full picture before making her move. She would just spook them if she jumped in too soon. Their oper
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1568 Strange Interview
Aria needed to identify all the "buyers". Missing even one buyer could mean one more student was sold. "Do the selected applicants have anything in common besides their family situations?" Aria asked, and Eden shook her head. But she then added, "Everyone had good grades, so nobody ever questioned why they were chosen for scholarships. Nothing seemed fishy about it." Aria made a mental note about the good grades, then scrolled through Judy's Facebook feed. This kind of investigation was pretty straightforward for her. Even without being accepted as a friend, she could hack in easily. From her posting habits, Judy seemed like an optimist. She was a nice girl who rarely posted anything negative. But one post made Aria scroll back and look twice. The post was cheerful, with a sunny photo and a cup of chocolate. But the text caught her attention. It read, "About to start my new life! All my hard work has paid off. The interview was kind of weird, but no big deal. Let's go!" Ar
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1567 Asking Sam for Help
The person on the other end of the call didn't speak. He just nodded with a pouty little face from behind a computer screen. It was actually Sam. He'd been working behind the scenes all along, especially when investigating the Wagner situation. Having him tail Philip was the least suspicious option. Simon was available too, but his presence would definitely attract unwanted attention as a beast of fortune. Since they were dealing with an arcane seeker, bringing Simon would be like handing them a treasure. So Aria made the call to have Sam follow Philip, while Simon stayed with Landon. Aria was not worried about her handsome fiancé being in danger. It was only because Simon would be safest with him. The Yorks carried heavenly fortune. As long as there was no fated ordeal in play, anyone who tried to harm Landon would likely meet a bad end. After all, that purple energy surrounding him wasn't just for show. With Simon staying near him, Simon could mask Landon's aura while also
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1566 Eden's Story
"Yeah, that's right," the rest of the burly men chimed in. The whole scene was painfully forced and fake. In reality, they just wanted to leave. But Aria wasn't about to let them off so easily. She figured she would return the favor since they'd been asking about her. She asked, "Oh, so the Draycotts owe your company money? Which company is that?" Viggo had not expected this question. He froze momentarily, then quickly replied, "Our company is small, so it's not worth mentioning. It's nothing compared to yours." "It's admirable how your company can sponsor students despite being a small one." Aria's compliment was delivered flatly. Viggo's scalp tingled with unease. "It's actually our investor. He doesn't just fund us but many companies. He came from a small town himself and wants to help these students get better learning conditions." "Now that's a rare and kind soul. I'd love to meet him sometime." Aria said casually, "Since we've had such a fortunate encounter, let's exc
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1565 Slap in the Face
The three men Aria had knocked to the ground were hurting all over, yet she had the nerve to talk about following the law. Viggo knew his men were losing their cool. After all, they'd never been humiliated like this in Ludwiten before. He quickly moved to block them, forcing a smile. "Yes, you're absolutely right. "Well, they say you never really know someone until you trade a few punches. You look unfamiliar, though. You're not from Ludwiten, are you?" Viggo was fishing for information about Aria. He needed to know who she was and why their operation had suddenly derailed today. But someone as shrewd as Aria instantly caught his meaning, so she smirked. Since things had already escalated this far, it did not matter whether she revealed her identity or not. Whoever was behind these men would investigate her anyway. It was better to draw all the attention to herself now while her senior and the Public Integrity Task Force gathered evidence behind the scenes. That way, they cou
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1564 More Than One Person
Viggo tried to explain, "You've got it all wrong—we don't mean any harm. We were just told to pick Ms. Bohmer up for paperwork. "Ms. Bohmer's a top student, and her school recommended her for study abroad. Just ask her if you don't believe me." Viggo shifted the spotlight to Eden. He figured a student like her wouldn't know how to speak up. Indeed, Eden was terrible at lying. Under Aria's watchful gaze, she nodded. She then added, "But something about them felt off. Maybe I was just being paranoid when I asked for your help." She couldn't very well tell this stranger that everything was based on a hunch, that these people gave her the creeps. They hadn't crossed any lines yet, but something felt wrong. She just couldn't put her finger on what. Eden struggled to explain, but Aria cut right to the chase. "So are you saying you need eight beefy men to escort a girl like her just to fill out some study abroad forms? Can't the teachers or the proper agencies handle it? "Looking
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1563 Not Your Typical Heiress
Hearing this, Viggo frowned. The burly men exchanged glances too as they sized up the person in front of them. They'd been in Ludwiten so long but had never met anyone as bold as Aria. They all figured that she must be some out-of-town wealthy heir who didn't know the rules here. She was practically asking for trouble when she blocked their way. These people didn't follow the stock market much. If they had, they'd know that a certain young lady had arrived in town not long ago. And she was someone who was good at dealing with those who crossed her. "You should ask around about who runs things here before acting so cocky. Since you like it here, stay right here with your bike!" As they spoke, one of them walked toward Aria aggressively, raising his arm to throw a punch. The rest moved in at the same time. But before the man could touch Aria, his hand was suddenly caught. Aria moved fast. With one leg braced against her motorcycle as a pivot point, she lunged forward and droppe
