Chapter 1338 The Draycott Family

Author: Night Eleven
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. "I know you and Grandpa don't t

    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

    Orion flipped the coffee table, sending the fruit platter and wine glasses crashing to the floor. His glare pinned Lily in place, his voice sharp as a blade. "Are the stocks you predicted truly accurate, or is this just a scam?""I-It's accurate." Lily was not stupid. She understood what her value was. If she said she wasn't 100 percent sure, he would kill her.However, Orion didn't seem to believe her. He narrowed his eyes and questioned, "Don't tell me you figured it all out on your own. If you're so talented, why didn't you predict the fourth item at today's meeting would be a phone?"He wasn't a fool. Orion was as sharp as they came, and few could outmaneuver him. For the first time, Lily's usual web of lies had failed.Years of watching the couple's schemes—kidnappings, deceptions—had taught her to act convincingly. Yet now, she hadn't anticipated how far Orion would go.Lily shuddered. "I-I'm not that talented—""I'll give you two options." His smile turned cold, predatory.

    Despite her fear, Lily held tightly to Orion's hand as she stood.Orion paused, considering his words before speaking. "Your experience is certainly shocking but not entirely hard to believe. As it happens, Aria will be tied up with other matters for the next few days. Why not use this time to prove yourself? Tell me what's about to happen."Lily, showing more composure this time, promptly responded. "A famous novel is about to announce its TV adaptation."Orion's brows knit together. The news didn't interest him, but it could be the perfect way to confirm Lily's claim of being reborn. "Who's the director, and how are they promoting it?"Lily rattled off the details with ease, then added, "The authorities will announce development plans for land east of the bridge in a few days. But I'm not sure of the exact location.""The slums on the east side?" Orion asked, skeptical. Everyone in Ludwiten knew developing that area was a long shot.Still, he saw an opportunity.

    The aged voice was filled with indifference. "It seems like she reached a dead end."Amos sneered. "I don't understand why these peasants like staying in the city. Still, it's fortunate for us. Otherwise, it'd be hard to get our hands on them.""Amos," the person cut in sharply, as if reminding him of his place.Amos only dared to speak so harshly when no one was around. If word got out, his image as the perfect secretary would be ruined.He quickly calmed down and fell silent. The caller didn't press the matter, simply saying, "You need to change the way you speak and act from now on."Since she's already agreed, give her the money. Don't treat her requests as a nuisance. The more requests they make, the less likely they are to cause trouble later."After picking her up tomorrow, send a few men to check if her grandparents need any help. Make sure everything is done properly."Amos nodded. "I understand. You always see the bigger picture. We'll continue looking after them."Poo

    "I promise it won't happen again!" To an outsider, it might've sounded like Amos was talking about the cafeteria mishap. But the truth was much darker. What Amos really meant was that incidents like this could continue, just never publicly. Once the media's attention died down, they could go back to doing whatever they pleased. But for now, the performance had to be flawless.The man on the other end of the call seemed satisfied. Though his voice was flat and monotonous, there was a noticeable shift; it was now less stern."She's been manipulating the stock market," he said. "It's caused major damage to several of Luwditen's corporations. We can't let her walk free."Amos removed his glasses, a grim look on his face. "That's exactly what I told the Securities Regulatory Department. It doesn't matter who comes to plead on her behalf. Even if she's the late Mr. Barron's heir, she has to face the law."She's confessed. No one's going to let her off the hook now. You know what jail'

    At first, Eden didn't understand what Aria meant. But as night fell, Aria lowered her head and started fumbling with something. When she looked up again, Eden was stunned—Aria looked exactly like her.Eden's eyes widened in disbelief. She'd only seen something like this in movies. But now, it was unfolding right in front of her. So there really was such a flawless disguise technique in the world."Aria, you…""Since I'm using your identity, I have to be you," Aria said with a soft tug of her mask, smiling. She had always been bold, yet precise. Working in the Special Missions Unit meant secrecy was second nature to her—this part was routine."Stay home and rest tonight. I'll leave first thing in the morning. Once I'm gone and the coast is clear, take your grandparents and leave."Eden opened her mouth, unsure of how to respond. She didn't even know when the people watching them would leave."My team will come get you," Aria reassured her. "What's important is that your grandparent

    Eden nodded. "Okay. I'll do as you say, Aria."She sent the text just like Aria instructed. Moments later, her teacher replied—everything had been arranged. A car would pick her up from home. There was no need to return to school.A cold shiver ran down Eden's spine. They knew where she lived. They'd been watching all along. Not just the school—they were everywhere.Eden didn't linger at school. Outside the entrance, the main topic of conversation was the officials' arrival for an investigation and the school's public exposure.Everyone knew the cafeteria was a mess. Students had complained countless times, but each time inspectors came, the food improved just long enough to pass the checks. Then it would all revert. It had become the norm—something they were forced to accept.Eden was no different. She just wanted to get home. She needed to see her grandparents. She feared something might happen to them next.Every step on the way home, she stayed alert, scanning her surroundings

    Eden listened closely, her brow furrowing. Her teacher wasn't speaking Farshyan. School was no longer a safe place, and Eden didn't know who she could trust. Her classmates were too caught up in mocking Aria to notice anything was wrong, all assuming Eden was lucky to have been chosen.She considered calling the police, picking up her phone, but then paused. What could she even say? That there was a mole at school? Her face turned pale as she remembered how close the principal was to influential people. The authorities might not believe her, or worse, they might be involved.Despite the headlines claiming Aria had been arrested, Eden felt a spark of hope. Aria had promised she'd show up if Eden ever needed her. Taking a deep breath, Eden dialed the number Aria had given her.She didn't expect anyone to answer. But then came a cool, familiar voice. "Eden? What's wrong? Did someone give you trouble again?"Eden's heart soared. "You're not arrested! The news is fake, isn't it? I knew

    Lucas gave Amos a sidelong glance. "In that case, let's do as Mr. Lune suggested—punish everyone involved."Announce to the public that Oakvale Academy will be used as a test case. We'll be conducting surprise inspections in all middle and high schools."As for why Mr. Kelsey encountered two completely different scenes during his visits—well, that's easy to explain." Lucas' gaze swept across the room. "Someone tipped off the school before your visit. If any other school received advance notice, every one of you will be under scrutiny."Though Lucas spoke with a smile, none of the seven present—including the three officials—could return it. The smile, in this context, was more chilling than rage. This was a warning. Amos, in particular, felt deeply unsettled. He had come intending to redirect Lucas' attention away from Oakvale Academy. Instead, the incident had blown up. With public attention turning toward the school, transferring Eden would soon become impossible.Still, Amo

    Now that Miguel, who was an expert in covering up, was gone, the long-standing issues in the school were exposed.The group stood frozen as they watched a cafeteria worker pour something into a large pot. A closer look revealed it was leftover mushroom soup. But that wasn't the worst of it. The soup reeked, clearly spoiled, yet it was still being reheated for the students.Things only got worse when they entered the kitchen. Hygiene standards were appalling. Not a single chef wore a mask, and some were even smoking while cooking.Amos' expression darkened immediately, even before Lucas could react.One of the chefs noticed them and slammed his ladle onto the counter. "What are you doing in here? Outsiders aren't allowed in the school—don't you know that?"Unlike other schools, Oakvale Academy had somehow always slipped through the cracks during routine inspections. When required to present something, they staged it well enough to fool a camera.So, the staff never expected a surp

    Aria understood that this was all the person could offer. The real mastermind would never reveal himself so easily—not even to his most trusted subordinates.Those in power never needed to explain themselves. Those who understood them would earn their favor; those who didn't were destined to remain at the bottom.Her thoughts raced. She needed hard evidence to capture whoever was behind Amos. Baseless accusations would only alert the enemy and push them deeper into hiding.Allowing herself to be arrested had been part of Aria's plan. She needed the mastermind to lower his guard. After all, she had been too visible in Ludwiten lately. With eyes constantly watching her, she couldn't make any real moves. But she couldn't let the incident at Oakvale Academy go unresolved. Her instincts told her it was the key to everything.Before Philip found his family, she had to act—and that meant changing her identity to save Even.Just then, the person's phone buzzed. He turned the screen towa

    "Boss!" Weston rushed over the moment he finished dealing with the other officers. Aria arched an eyebrow, flexing her wrists. "He's the mole?""Yes." Weston nodded. The Securities Regulatory Bureau, dispatched by the Securities Regulatory Commission, was tasked with auditing listed companies—particularly sniffing out insider trading and market manipulation.While not everyone in the bureau could be corrupt, it was common for a few to be compromised.The officer who had been interrogating Aria was of a minor rank, but the one Weston had just exposed held real power.Aria looked over at the trembling man. His legs had given out, sending him to the floor. His phone lay discarded beside him as he shook uncontrollably.They had met before—at a Chamber of Commerce meeting. To him, Aria had just been a clever heiress with some market luck, thanks to Landon's influence. No one would have expected her to single-handedly bring down the Draycott family.No one would logically believe
