Chapter 1336 Scheming

Author: Night Eleven
Robert was quick to react. "I-I didn't do it on purpose, Mr. Grisham Senior. I…" He slapped himself hard enough to swell his cheek, making half the housekeepers glance over with pity.

Robert added, "Mr. Grisham Senior, you know I've been dealing with family issues. I was distracted. I'm sorry." Robert bowed to Clyde. "It's all my fault."

Clyde didn't press him further and waved for him to wipe his sweat. "Nothing serious happened. No need to be so hard on yourself. Just go and bring another pot of tea."

"Yes, sir!"

As Robert turned to leave, Aria's eyes locked on him. "Wait."

He froze and turned back, visibly nervous. "Y-Yes, miss? Do you need something else?"

The sight amused Aria. After all, this wasn't her first time at the Grisham residence. Even on her first visit, she'd noticed something off, though she had chosen not to act.

Now, however, the timing was perfect. Robert's little scene had made the housekeepers believe the Grisham family was heartless. Aria intended to pla

    Another housekeeper also added, "That's right. Ms. Carver, it's best to choose us."Robert listened to the accusations swirling around him, never expecting the loyalty he had nurtured for years to vanish so quickly.Most of these staff members worked at the Grisham residence because of him. He had covered for their laziness, ensuring they continued receiving their salaries despite their negligence. Yet now, they were conspiring against him.Robert's lips curled into a bitter sneer. If they wanted a fight, he would give them one. "Ms. Carver, I admit I'm at fault today. But most of the people here are careless and constantly complain that the Grisham family is stingy. How can they properly care for Mr. Grisham Senior with such dissatisfaction?""They called the Grisham family stingy?" Aria's eyes darkened as she scanned the room.The staff, mostly newcomers, shrank under her gaze—except for Robert, who wore a smug expression.Aria turned back to Robert. "As the Grisham family's bu

    Clyde spoke up at this moment. "Eamon, what do you mean by that?"The usually refined Eamon spoke through gritted teeth. "It's all my fault for employing people who betrayed the Grisham family. "Dad, we misunderstood Fiona. She's been trying to get in touch with us all these years. She suffered from an illness that caused hallucinations, making it hard for her to tell dreams from reality. "Even with all that, she kept trying to come back to the family. Just a few days ago, she came to the house to see you."Eamon's gaze fell on Robert, who lay crumpled on the floor, and the housekeepers who stood frozen, hoping to feign innocence. "They refused to let her in. They kept it from us every single time."Clyde's face flushed, and his breath grew uneven.Aria quickly stepped forward, pressing her fingers to his pulse. "Grandpa, calm down. The truth is out now, and it's not too late."Her words broke through Clyde's anguish, grounding him. He took a steadying breath. "You're right. I

    When the housekeepers realized that, they immediately dismissed the thought of informing the Draycott family about what happened. Robert even knelt on the floor to beg for the Grisham family's mercy. Aria went straight to the point. "Tell me everything you did regarding my mother."Robert no longer dared to keep anything hidden. He confessed how the Draycott family had found him and how he exploited his identity as their distant relative to deepen the Grisham family's misunderstandings about Fiona.He went on to admit he had persuaded Eamon's wife to stay silent, warning her of the potential consequences if Clyde grew displeased. The threat loomed especially large for Eamon's son, who was already viewed unfavorably by Clyde. Worsening the rift wouldn't be worth the risk.Eamon's breath quickened as he took it all in. He spun on his heel, ready to confront his wife."Stop," Clyde ordered, his tone tense as he leaned on his walking cane."Dad, it's my fault," Eamon rasped. "I fail

    Eamon froze, caught off guard by Aria's bluntness. As sharp as ever, she was shielding him from a difficult situation, but he knew it was time to clean house. His heart swelled. It was like no time had passed. Aria was still the same bold, straightforward girl, her love for family as strong as ever."I'll call Jett here," he said, casting a cold glance at Robert. His marriage and dealings with his wife's family needed to be handled—decisively.Aria trusted Eamon to handle the bigger issues. If her aunt's interference was accidental, fine. But if intentional, Aria knew Eamon wouldn't allow the Grisham family to be jeopardized.In prominent families, watching the women of the house had always been critical.Half the Grisham household staff had already been dismissed without pay. Those who once threatened to air family secrets were now too scared to stir trouble.Meanwhile, Robert had been quietly taken away by Aria's men. No one could contact him. She had also discreetly handed ov

    The moment Priscilla recognized the woman's voice on the phone, she froze. It was Fiona's daughter.Aria pressed her foot harder on Robert. "Ms. Draycott, I've always been curious about how you looked before all those plastic surgeries. I saw for myself today—old and ugly. Now I understand your desperation to be beautiful. But didn't anyone tell you? You'll never replace my mother. Trash like you will always stay trash.""You!" Priscilla shot up from her chair, trembling with rage. A loud crack echoed as Robert's wrist snapped.Aria chuckled. "Ms. Draycott, I'll be sending you a gift by courier. Make sure you sign for it."Priscilla was too shaken to respond. Her face was pale, and fear rippled through her. She dreaded that Aria might send Robert to her—if not worse. She had no idea what Aria planned next.Jett walked in just in time to witness the scene. He had come back to the Grisham residence, puzzled as to why his father had summoned him. But now, all he could see was a you

    Jett finally broke the silence. "Wait a minute. Is there some kind of misunderstanding here?"Aria raised an eyebrow, her tone dropping. "Are you planning to beg for mercy?"Jett, unlike most of the Grisham family, wasn't as domineering but cared deeply about his kin. "We should talk it out, no matter what happened. We're still family."Aria nodded slightly. "Clearing things up is best." She gestured for Robert to be thrown onto the ground. "Speak. I'm listening."Terrified after recent events, Robert didn't dare hold anything back. He confessed how he had betrayed the Grisham family, toyed with their trust, and sabotaged Fiona's return.Jett was left stunned. He looked as if his entire worldview had shattered. "You're saying Ms. Draycott ordered all this? That can't be true!"Turning to his father, he pleaded, "Dad, this doesn't make sense!"Eamon took a deep breath and said lowly, "How did I end up with a son like you?"Jett clenched his fists.

    Waymond furrowed his eyebrows. "Aria, you saying…""I want to establish an alliance with the Carver family, the Grisham family, and those old companies who are willing to team up with us," Aria explained.She continued, "By sharing resources and promoting mutual benefits, we can elevate domestic brands onto the world stage. This approach won't just enhance our competitiveness—it will help us fend off external threats and break into larger overseas markets. Mr. Katz and the others will be our first teammates."Surprise flashed through Waymond's gaze. He had never encountered anyone from the younger generation with such bold ambition and vision.He stood, clearly uneasy. "That's an impressive plan, but implementing it won't be easy. To stand against external forces, we must be united. But unity in the business world is a pipe dream. Resources here are finite. If one company profits from a project, another is losing out."Trust is already fragile. If they don't sabotage each other, i

    Waymond was sure of one thing—he would be taken away for investigation by the authorities. Regardless of the outcome, the Grisham family's stocks would plummet. With Clyde's health condition, he might not be able to take the toll. Eamon would also be too busy to deal with everything.Although Waymond was not afraid of going to jail, he worried the Grisham family would collapse if he did. However, he couldn't seem to recall where the financial record came from. If it involved property development, it must have been from his early years.Waymond finally understood why Aria wanted to talk to him privately. Only he could know about this."Aria, trust me. I've never broken the law in my business career. Does this involve the Grisham family?" Waymond asked, flipping through the documents."Yes. This is Orion's backup plan," Aria admitted, laying out the entire story. She wanted to warn him to be vigilant—and test his reaction.Although Aria trusted her family, she couldn't ignore the

    Landon cast a glance at Aria, curious about how much she actually knew about the stock market. She had always been modest about her knowledge, but he suspected there was more to her than she let on. The only one oblivious to Aria's true capabilities was Jett. Yet, he dared not refuse any request she made. Without hesitation, he tapped into his social circles, pulling strings where needed.Less than an hour later, Orion received word. A slow, chilling smile spread across his face. "So, the Grisham family wants to dip their hands into real estate too?"Arlo handed him a report. "Just as you predicted. It's not just real estate—Ms. Carver's making moves in the stock market as well. Fortunately, you already set a trap for Mr. Jett in advance."For the first time in days, Orion’s tension seemed to ease. A dark glint flickered in his eyes. "Fine. Let them struggle their way in. I don't care how they do it, but make sure the Carver family is crushed in the stock market.""Understood." A

    Jett asked, "What exactly are you after? There's no need to bring down the Draycott family so quickly. It's not like you can win. Didn't you join the Chamber of Commerce to take things slow? You just arrived in Ludwiten. Why the rush?""Am I in a rush?" Aria asked. She wasn't after the mastermind behind the Draycott family. If she were, she would've tied Orion to the financial building and let people take pictures all day—no need for mind games.The situation was too tangled, too many people involved. The Draycott family had managed to cover up something as blatant as that incident at the bar. Someone had to be cleaning up after them.Finding a few scapegoats would have been easy, but Aria wanted more. She wanted to uncover everyone who had spread rumors about Fiona in the past.And for some reason, despite their focus on the Grisham family, it felt like they were up against the Carvers. Whoever was behind this didn't want the Carvers to regain control of the Chamber of Commerce.

    Jett grew more agitated as he spoke, waving his hands as if he wanted to tear Owen apart. Aria promptly stopped him. Otherwise, passersby might think he was an escaped patient from Ludwiten's mental asylum.Owen had done many foolish things, which Aria only discovered after arriving in Ludwiten and conducting her own investigation. Warren carried guilt toward Clyde because of Owen. And while Jett was normally timid, his words weren't wrong.When Owen first came to Ludwiten, he thought he could make it big, recklessly using the Grisham family's funds and resources. But he had been deceived by several people and lost everything.Not only was he foolish, but he was also malicious—leaving behind a disaster for the Grisham family to clean up. "Jett, calm down," Aria said. "I know Owen dragged the Grisham family down. He's already been punished and won't be coming out anytime soon."You and I both despise him, but let's stop dwelling on the past. He's not worth it."Jett had never

    With Landon monitoring the stock market, Aria could walk right into Orion's trap. This way, Orion would let his guard down. When people felt confident, they invested more. Aria, well-versed in the stock market, understood this all too well. She had never intended to get rid of Lily. However, things were different this time. There was a limit to how much one could withstand another's viciousness. Aria doubted Lily could predict the market flawlessly—it was impossible, just as it was impossible for her to know everything.The logic was simple. If something fell outside one's area of expertise, even the most attentive observer would only grasp the outcome, not the details. Thinking it over, Aria realized Lily only knew about major events. The smaller ones seemed to escape her notice.If she put herself in Lily's shoes, it was like remembering which lottery would have a winner but not the exact numbers drawn.After all, no one knew when they would be reborn. The only way to acce

    Malcolm did not know why Aria was asking, but he remembered the details clearly. "It was after that day." Aria tapped on the desk. "No wonder the Draycotts suddenly changed their market strategy. I get it now." What was she talking about? Before Malcolm could ask, Aria continued, "Some people are trying to cheat the system. Keep an eye on things, but stay safe. If anything happens, come to me first. "Like you said, they've got deep connections. Don't bother with the police—just keep the evidence." "Got it." Before hanging up, Malcolm asked, "Should we still watch the stock market?" Aria smirked. "Yes. They're not the only ones who can play dirty." Lily had probably been reborn too. But whatever Lily knew, Aria knew as well. She had never thought to use that knowledge this way before since it hadn't seemed necessary, but things were not the same now. If her dreams were real, then in her past life, Lily had only made it to Janovin. She had played the star medical student at

  • The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 1394 Not Knowing Each Other Well

    After being together all this time, Aria suddenly had a thought. Were she and Landon too distant from each other? No, "distant" was not quite the right word. It was more like they did not know each other well enough. Landon always felt just out of reach, like there was a fog between them. Simply put, he was not being straight with her. The thought left her feeling uneasy. Before she could say anything, her phone rang. It must be news about the Draycotts. It had to be something big for them to call so urgently. Aria glanced at the pair. Landon smiled. "If you have questions, Jett, feel free to talk with my manager, Ms. Virelle." Manager? Seraphina caught on quickly. "Mr. Grisham, shall we step outside?" Jett was still trying to process everything. "Wait." Balancing business and personal matters as usual, Aria held her phone up and said, "I heard Ms. Virelle used to work at the Draycotts' club. Let's have a chat later." Seraphina froze, glancing at Landon. Seeing his bl

    Seraphina could not let her mind go there. Maybe she should've stayed in Netherrealm for a few more years. It was not so bad down there anyway. Landon barely spared her a glance, keeping his eyes on Jett with polite interest. "Won't you sit, Jett?"Sit? Jett could barely remember why he had come in the first place. Landon's voice snapped him back. "I... Mr. York, excuse me for asking, but what's your relationship with Ms. Virelle?""She works for me." Landon glanced at Seraphina. "Ms. Virelle? That's a new title."Jett stumbled over his words. "She works for you?""Yes," Landon said casually, like it was the most obvious thing. "Isn't it obvious?"Jett could not imagine the Yorks being in that kind of business. From Jett's expression alone, Landon could guess what kind of mess his people had made in Ludwiten. Since he had been dragged into it now, he figured he owed the Grishams an explanation. "I planted her in the Draycott family. The Yorks need a foothold in Ludwiten."So

    Getting out of there wasn't going to be easy. Aria did not waste any time. She moved fast behind the suite divider, her laugh carrying a different note than usual. "What a shame."Landon's hand paused as he fixed her hair, his voice as smooth as ever. "I could have them leave.""Bad timing. My cousin's out there." Aria glanced at him, taking in that perfect collarbone of his. No wonder they used to call him the untouchable one, with all those socialites dying for just a smile.She had never given much thought to that kind of thing before. All those times working with patients, she had kept things strictly professional. But things felt different now, and she couldn't quite put her finger on why. Her gorgeous fiancé had a way of making her lose her head.Landon pulled his hand back while looking down. "We should meet with your cousin. I hear the Grishams like to evaluate their in-laws.""Huh?" That had not crossed her mind. He did not seem like someone who would care about app

  • The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 1391 Raw Desire

    Aria felt something wild coming off him. It was not hatred, but something close. She was too caught up to figure out what it was. She had never felt anything like this before; it was like she was floating. Her eyes were open, but she could not focus. Even his breathing felt like an invasion, starting at her ear and spreading through her whole body. When his fingers pressed into her waist, instinct made her try to push him away. That was a bad move—it only made things more intense. He lit her up like a match, heat spreading from her neck downward till she had to tilt her head back just to breathe. It reminded her of that hazy dream, the one in which she had been caught between sleep and waking, her pulse racing and her skin on fire. But it did not feel exactly the same because what she was feeling now was real. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught glimpses of the river through the massive windows. The view was blurry, but it was enough to remind her where she was. Unable t
