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

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 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 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 1458 A Call From Laura
Aria's thoughts were all over the place. Perhaps she was too tired, or maybe it was Landon's scent. She furrowed her brows as black mist curled around her, even her gaze shifting with it.Sensing the growing surge of bad karma, Landon chose not to push forward. Instead, he reached out and covered her eyes. "It's been a while since you asked for consultation fees from me."This time, he didn't pull her toward his neck. Instead, he bit his finger and pressed his lips to hers.With her vision blocked, Aria's consciousness wavered, slipping toward drowsiness. She only snapped out of it when the phone she'd dropped under the car seat started ringing. Blinking away the haze, she grabbed Landon's wrist and twisted it in a swift reversal.Her hair brushed against his face as she loomed over him, eyes tinged with red beneath her cool demeanor. "My phone is ringing."Landon turned his head slightly, revealing his sharp side profile, his elegance undisturbed.Retrieving her phone, she s
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1459 Disrespectful
Laura's voice dripped with resentment as she confronted Aria. Aria, unfazed, twirled the blade she had whisked out of nowhere. Her tone was indifferent. "Yes, Aunt Laura. Are you saying all this just to get me to share some profit with the Fitzroy family? Or do you want me to secure a spot for your family in the project bidding?"Laura stiffened. She hadn't expected Aria to catch on so quickly. She was much sharper than she had assumed.It brought Laura back to the first time she met Aria—a baby lying in a crib, wearing a tiger hat, smiling at everyone—everyone except Laura.Back then, Laura had just married into the Grisham family and given birth to Jett. She had felt an inexplicable sense of rejection from the child, and it displeased her. But there was nothing she could do about it. Eamon doted on Aria because of Fiona, showering her with the best things in Janovin. Clyde and his wife treated Aria like a precious jewel, calling her a blessing—cheerful, dominant, and full of l

"But they can't just treat people like this!" Atticus exclaimed while looking at Lily, who stayed silent. He refused to believe the woman he admired was anything like they said. "Lily, just call Mr. Clinton or Mr. Guetta right now. Let's see if this man still dares to talk to you like that. You're just too nice for your own good." Hearing what he had just said, Lily clenched her fists. Why was this idiot making things worse? She was already trying to stop him, and he still wouldn't shut up. "Atticus, forget it. You guys finally got to visit Ludwiten, so let me show you around the city." Right now, all Lily wanted was to leave. Every second here was another chance for her lies to unravel. If she played her cards right, these clueless classmates of hers would still buy her act. She had been humiliated enough—she couldn't take any more! But Atticus didn't get the hint. He kept shouting, puffing up like an angry rooster. Jonah had no patience left. With a wave, he signaled the

The crowd couldn't help but laugh at Aria's remark, which only made the group feel humiliated. Just as they were about to fire back, a louder commotion erupted nearby. It seemed that someone had been thrown out of the café up ahead. Atticus couldn't be bothered with Aria anymore. Before dragging his friends away, he said, "What a classless bumpkin." They still wanted to wait in line for some croissants. But what the hell had just happened? Then, they spotted a familiar figure being shoved out of the café. They were dumbfounded for a second, and they thought they were seeing things. "Lily!" Atticus, her ever-devoted simp, rushed forward. "What the hell are you doing? You can't just push people around! We're customers!" They were still students, so they had no clue about certain rules in Ludwiten. This century-old café was members-only, and the café had the right to refuse service. Lily's heart sank when she heard his voice. As they reached her, her face went pale. With
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1510 Something Wrong With Their Brains
Aria had spotted these people long before they noticed her. She didn't have a good impression of them at all. They hadn't bullied her back then. But in her memory, they'd often throw in a mocking comment or two just to score points with Lily. People from small towns like them sometimes had bad habits. For example, they would believe they knew the whole truth despite having limited knowledge. The biggest difference between them and city folks was that they were really out of the loop. It was like telling billionaires that a car costing 300 thousand dollars was expensive—they'd look at you confused. Tell someone worth a fraction of that, and they'd nod in agreement. In the business world, being in the know was everything. Some people made fortunes with the right information. There would also be people who heard the same thing but wouldn't even care about that. These students had actually been told that Aria wasn't the same person anymore, and they shouldn't mess with her like b
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1509 No Match for Lily
Everyone in the café had been enjoying their afternoon tea when they heard the commotion. They turned to look. "Where's the server?" Nisa called out. These rich ladies were all regulars who paid hefty annual membership fees. At their summons, the manager appeared with a smile before any server could respond. "Mrs. Guetta, how may I help you?" "Jonah, perfect timing. I was wondering when this place started letting country bumpkins like her in," Nisa said, her gaze sweeping over Lily. Without hesitation, Jonah Marx kicked Lily out. At that same moment, Aria arrived for their appointment. Traffic had been terrible. She had only agreed to meet Nisa because she needed to uncover something important. In her dreams, there was still one voice that hadn't appeared. The owner of that voice had harmed her mother, Fiona. She would never feel at peace until she dug out the person behind it. Aria was never worried about threats from others. For instance, she knew about Lily's wild accu
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1508 Lily Never Learns
Dorian was grinning from ear to ear, showing none of the dignity expected from someone of a prominent family. He had less class than a common street hustler. The members of the Chamber of Commerce had good reason to look down on him. Dorian didn't believe that Neval, who was addicted to gambling, wouldn't return to the country for at least ten years. Once they took down the Grisham family, he'd be calling all the shots in the Chamber of Commerce! Dorian truly took after Magdalene in this aspect. The latter embodied all the worst traits of her generation—a twisted mindset and was always scheming something. Also, she was arrogant and had a superiority complex. Magdalene didn't want Neval to return, which explained why she'd readily given him money. She thought that Waymond would soon be arrested. Then, the Grisham family would go from riding high to crashing and burning, and Aria would pay the price. These were already set in stone! The prominent families' joint effort to targe
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1507 Being Arrogant
In the Fitzroy family, only Neval saw things clearly, despite being a screw-up. Everyone else was blinded by their own arrogance. Laura, of course, never saw it that way. Perhaps too much time had passed, which made her forget how she had married into the Grisham family in the first place. She had also forgotten what it meant to be grateful. Without the Fitzroy family's involvement, Orion's long-standing attempts to sabotage Waymond would have failed. This had been an unspoken secret between the two families for years. Magdalene had always been the head of the Fitzroy family. The best thing about her younger son, Dorian Fitzroy, was that he would always follow her orders. Neval wasn't her biological son, but Dorian was. As a child born in her later years, Dorian was showered with love. Now, he sat at the meeting place where several families had agreed to gather. "How do you plan to deal with Aria?" The Guettas were the ones who had organized this meeting. They used to keep

Magdalene said, "In the past, our family had helped the Grishams to survive. But now..." She took a sip of her tea. "They're digging their own grave, and we can't help them anymore." Just as she finished speaking, a middle-aged man walked in. When Magdalene saw him, her brows immediately furrowed. Her eldest son, Neval Fitzroy, was her least favorite child. He had brought nothing but shame to the Fitzroys. If he hadn't developed a gambling addiction, the Fitzroy family wouldn't have fallen this far. She asked, "What are you doing here?" Neval rubbed his hands together and snickered. "Mom, I'm a little short on cash lately. I mainly came because I missed you, but I'm also here to ask for a little money." Before Magdalene could respond, Laura stood up. "Neval, Mom just gave you 20 million last month. You shouldn't have spent it so quickly." Magdalene had been in a good mood, but now her face darkened. "Did I raise you to leech off me? How could 20 million dollars be gone so

Orion slammed his fist hard on the table. He'd been played by someone who looked like nothing more than a trust fund kid. Yet he had no choice but to let Aria manipulate him. Because no matter what he said, someone would show up to "take care of" him. At this point, he could only make everything look like a simple financial crime in order to protect himself. Aria had calculated this perfectly and planned accordingly. Even now, most people saw Aria as just some young hotshot who made money but didn't understand the bigger picture. They thought because she came from a small town, she was naïve enough to believe taking down the Draycott family would solve everything. In reality, she would be dragging herself down as well. Unless she didn't plan to stay in Ludwiten at all! Most people who thought this way were driven by pride and jealousy. They wouldn't admit they wished they were in Aria's shoes. The Carvers had raked in so much money from the stock market this time around. The

"Yes, I'm sure," Gabe said, having checked everything carefully. The old man thought for a moment. "Find a way and get someone else to tell Orion what he should and shouldn't say. If he's smart enough, he should understand." "Alright." Gabe pushed up his glasses. "Don't worry; everything will be handled." The old man's eyes were deep and calculating. "To achieve great things, some people must be sacrificed. If necessary, offer the Draycott family some benefits. Go take care of the Bellebrook situation." Gabe chuckled. "They're just some greedy, low-class people. They only succeeded because of you, yet they always think they made it on their own." "Gabe, mind your words." The old man had a kind face. Looking at him, one would think he cared for all people. Judging from his simple lifestyle, he did not seem like someone who would do bad things at all. Even the cup he used was bought from the supermarket for just over ten dollars. "Go now. As I've always said, anyone can l
