The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1450 Exciting Things Ahead
This was a tactic that many business leaders used. People always thought Aria was too young to accomplish much and lacked patience. In reality, it was completely the opposite. Everyone who had worked with her knew that she was the best at applying knowledge from one area to another. And she would never reveal her cards easily. Take Lily's situation, for example—in her previous life, Lily had certainly lived longer than Aria. After all, in her dream, Aria had quickly passed away from illness after being sent away by Owen. She never had the chance to learn about the future information that Lily knew. In this aspect, Lily definitely had an advantage over everyone else because she had foresight. How could Aria counter this? That was the question she had been considering since discovering Lily was a reborn. She needed to use what she had learned from criminal investigation. By analyzing the actions of those who benefited, she could work backward to the facts. From Orion's moves, s
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1451 The Gambler's Fallacy
The Chamber of Commerce members accompanying Orion were not very happy about this. But after thinking it through, while they lost money on that piece of land, their main play was still the stock market. So they did not abandon Orion and even tried to figure out how to calm him down. They showered him with flattery as they were afraid of being kicked out. After all, this was what Lily had predicted, and she had never been wrong about these things before. Lily did not know that her prediction about the land acquisition was wrong. She was out shopping, and people followed behind her, carrying bags of all sizes. Every bit the socialite, she even invited some ladies out for afternoon tea. This time, she noticed many people lining up outside the gold store in the mall. She asked someone nearby with mockery in her voice, "What's going on here? Is gold worthless now, so everyone's grabbing it up?" Her companions did not know either and shook their heads. Lily pursed her lips with a
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1452 Chasing the Windfall
Laura said, "Mom, the Land Planning Department just announced which land will be developed. The winning bid wasn't the piece the Draycott family acquired—it was the piece you schemed to have Aria buy!" With a loud crash, Magdalene's teacup fell from her hand. Fragments of the cup scattered across the floor. Her body was shaking, unable to accept this reality. "That's impossible! Apollo assured me it was worthless land. And wasn't Bellebrook the land Aria was interested in? How could it be developed? This can't be true!" "It's all over the news!" Laura tapped open something on her phone screen to show Magdalene. Magdalene trembled as she snatched the phone. Laura clenched her fists. "And you just announced to everyone that Jett was withdrawing his investment and wouldn't be involved with this land! Then immediately after, they had a meeting and announced that this land would be developed. "Mom, you're not the only one embarrassed—so am I! How am I supposed to explain this to
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1453 The Stock Market Opens
Magdalene continued, "Eamon can't afford to divorce you either. Don't forget how much his net worth is. If he agreed to divorce, he'd have to give you half his assets. "Money aside, he'd need to give you half his shares too. That would be a significant blow to the Grisham family. Even if he agreed, someone as clever as Clyde wouldn't allow it." Magdalene had studied this area thoroughly, and the tactics she used were sneaky as well. Given Eamon's circumstances back then, he never would have chosen to marry Laura, so Magdalene had to do something about it. The Grishams valued their reputation, and Eamon had a strong sense of responsibility. That was why Laura naturally ended up marrying him. After all these years, the facts proved her methods were effective. How else would she have a grandson who was completely devoted to her? As for what those methods were, anyone who reads novels would be familiar—when a woman admired a man, she would come up with schemes to get him into bed
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1454 Gold Prices Skyrocket
The lines displayed on the screen all hit Orion like a punch to the gut. The smile on his face vanished in an instant. One line stood out dramatically. It was gold—which they had expected to plummet! "What? How can gold stock prices rise?" Orion's eyes looked like they were about to shoot flames. They had been promised that as soon as the afternoon market opened, the price difference would appear! The price difference was there alright, but in just one morning, gold had risen by ten dollars per share! What did a ten-dollar increase per share mean? For perspective, some listed companies during hard times opened at just a few dollars per share. They could barely maintain their basic shareholders, and investors certainly weren't interested in these companies. If a stock could survive at a few dollars per share, imagine what it meant to rise by ten dollars per share at market opening. Without a doubt, those who bought gold certainly did not lose money. Not only that, but thos
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1455 Missing His Chance
So what if gold prices were skyrocketing? A stock rising so abnormally was never a good thing. Anyone who traded stocks would know this was a sign of an impending crash. Aria could celebrate all she wanted today. But by tomorrow, Orion's three stocks would soar together and crush the Carvers! Orion was too used to being arrogant since he had powerful backing. He did not believe Aria could really beat him. After all, once his capital started rolling, it would be five times what the Grisham family had! When Arlo heard that Orion wanted to continue pouring huge amounts of money into the stock market. his first reaction was to find Harlan Wexford, the Draycott Group's financial officer. Harlan shook his head. "No way. Mr. Draycott can continue to increase his position, but if he wants to divert funds from my department, it will likely cause a shortage in the company's finances. "If relevant authorities find out about this, it will be very troublesome. They'll issue external warni
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1456 Pressure Aria
The other Chamber of Commerce members had already completed their additional investments. This caused Orion to feel extremely displeased.Thankfully, he had hired a professional trader who was quick on his feet. The trader had successfully added the investment half an hour before the stock market closed.Orion finally heaved a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness I made it in time. It's all the financial officer's fault. Does he think he's the boss just because he handles the money?"The Chamber of Commerce had heard the argument just now. "Mr. Draycott, do you have any personal connections with the financial officer?"Orion took a drag from his cigarette. "He used to be one of my underlings. He's just a country bumpkin. I hired him because he was smart and used to have good grades in school. He even got a scholarship to study abroad."If he wasn't good with numbers, I wouldn't have hired him.""You'll need to be careful, Mr. Draycott. Financial officers can be very ruthless when gett
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1457 Remember This
The bodyguard's smile was quite unsettling. "Don't worry, Mr. Draycott. I'll take care of this. I remember Mr. Wexford has a daughter in junior high…"Orion glanced at him. "Don't make a scene. Do it quietly.""Of course." Despite his answer, the idea he had in mind differed from that. He planned to screw Harlan over. After all, he had heard that Harlan was in the process of resigning.Orion didn't bother with the further details. After all, nothing of that was important to him. He only cared about his stocks.…Meanwhile, Aria averted her gaze from the computer when the stock market finally closed. Not only was she tired, but she was also starving. She felt like she could eat a cow right now!"Let's find a place to eat some stew." Aria placed her laptop down and started to navigate for nearby restaurants.Landon sat in the passenger seat and arched an eyebrow. "You earned so much, but you only want to eat stew?""Yup. Stew is enough for me. I like eating it." Aria started to

The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1574 Exposed
Parents exchanged glances, and many of them were already frowning. Miguel couldn't figure out how his young mistress had shown up here. This would destroy his career! He lowered his voice so that only she could hear. "Who told you to come? Go home now!" Then he straightened up and called out loudly, "Ma'am, you've got the wrong person. Please take your child away." The artsy-looking woman started to realize there might be some misunderstanding. Normally, she wouldn't appear publicly in front of so many parents. Miguel had warned her that if she wanted a good life, she couldn't interfere with his career. But from the message she'd received today, she was clearly told that he wanted her to bring their son over. Being quick-witted, she tried to leave once she sensed something was wrong. She pulled the boy's hand.But a spoiled sixth-grader as he was, he wouldn't budge without getting what he wanted. "Dad, why are you pretending not to know me and Mom? Is it because of that old wo
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1573 Miguel Breaks Down
Everyone turned to stare at Aria, their faces filled with disapproval. Eden caught some of the heat too; she wasn't looking so great in their eyes either. "She's so dumb to throw away such a golden opportunity." "She just doesn't get it. Her family's dirt poor, and everyone knows that." Aria heard the whispers around her. She stood her ground, eyes cool at the edges, but her expression never changed. She even let out a soft laugh. "Nice move, Mr. Sonder. A few words and everyone forgets your wrongdoings. Don't worry, though. I've brought you a special gift." As she spoke, she glanced at her watch. "It should be here any minute. Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. You may call me Ms. Carver." Miguel snorted. "I couldn't care less what your name is." In his anger, he'd completely forgotten about the scandal that had been the talk of Ludwiten lately. Aria made a small sound as she hung her helmet on the bike. "I figured since you and Mr. Draycott were so tight, you'd be keep
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1572 Putting Him in His Place
The way Aria looked at him made Miguel feel like she could see right through him. It really got under his skin. Miguel walked over, putting on his responsible educator act. "Ms. Bohmer, I heard about your situation. It's fine if you need more time to consider, but please have your friend move her vehicle. School grounds aren't for just anyone off the street to enter whenever they please." Eden started to object. But Aria let out a soft laugh, stepping in front of her. "You're Mr. Sonder, right?" Before coming, Aria had reviewed this principal's file. His rise to this position had been swift, with an impressive résumé showing no academic fraud. But Sam wasn't just anyone—he could dig up dirt nobody else could find. This principal valued his son above all else—a son born from an affair, no less. Miguel nodded with formality. "That's me." Aria's smile didn't fade. "No wonder you looked familiar. We must have crossed paths elsewhere. Your younger son is starting middle school thi
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
