The sharp caw of a crow outside the car grated on Magdalene's nerves. She twirled her bracelet even faster, her expression darkening. "The Grisham family is doomed! Such ominous creatures appearing at their house in broad daylight—what a bad sign!"Laura glanced out the car window. The crow's presence unsettled her, and without hesitation, she instructed the driver to drive.Magdalene didn't waste any time. "Laura, handle this however you want. Our family has a legal team just like the Grishams. Let the lawyers take care of everything—don't say anything unnecessary."Lowering her gaze, she pondered for a moment. "You mentioned that Eamon has been staying out late for social events. We should focus on that.""He didn't betray me, though." Laura hesitated. Magdalene gave her a pointed look. "People will only take your side if he did. Use it to your advantage."Laura slowly nodded under her gaze. "I'll find some evidence.""Good. Our family is involved with the Draycotts now. Once

Aria put her phone away and glanced at Jett. "Okay. I got it."If she had not needed to consider Jett's feelings, she could have handled the Fitzroy family even faster. "Did Grandpa agree?"Jett looked up. "Don't tell him. Grandpa's always protected me. That's why he hasn't been ruthless enough. You too. I know what's going on."Clyde held too many of the Fitzroy family's secrets. If he hadn't been concerned about Jett, Magdalene wouldn't have had a chance to slander them.Aria idly twirled a pen drive between her fingers. "It's not just for you. Sometimes, the way I do things doesn't align with the Grisham family's values.""I was born from a scheme, but I'm glad I was born into the Grisham family." Jett had matured. If this had happened before, he wouldn't have been able to handle it—his head would have been filled with endless doubts and dark thoughts.But now, he seemed more resolute. "Do what you have to. Just don't tell Grandpa. He'll worry about you.""How similar." Aria
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1483 The Draycott Family's Downfall
If Orion wanted to conceal his cash flow crisis, he first had to ensure Aria would keep quiet. But just as Aria issued her orders, news about the Draycott Group spread like wildfire.Headlines like "Unpaid Wages", "Mass Layoffs", and "Subsidiaries in Crisis" tore through the Draycott family like a raging storm.Despite the mounting scrutiny, the company could still weather the storm—so long as it remained profitable and continued paying taxes.However, a quick search revealed a troubling reality. Several Draycott Group subsidiaries had already shuttered. It was obvious that the company's problems ran deeper than mere rumors.The banks were the first to react. Normally, it was Orion who entertained bank officers, but now, the tables had turned. "Mr. Wrenwood, how can you believe such baseless rumors?"Naturally, Orion wouldn't admit the truth. "You know the Draycott family's assets well. It's just land holdings. Sure, I made a bad investment, but it's hardly a fatal blow."Alde
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1484 The Fitzroy Family
The entire company was in turmoil. Employees from every department found it both shocking and unsettling—what were they supposed to do now that the company had run out of cash flow?Within half an hour, multiple hashtags about the Draycott family dominated social media. Initially, they had threatened legal action against those spreading so-called false rumors.Then, a bombshell dropped—news broke that Orion had been using company funds to support his personal stock trading, and the stocks he invested in had plummeted.While stock trading itself wasn't illegal, misusing company funds was a different matter entirely. If the reports were true, the Draycott Group's financial situation was dire.No one in the business world was naïve. It didn't take much effort to verify the claims, and soon, the truth became apparent—the rumors were likely true."Some of his closest associates are also struggling with cash flow," someone noted."Serves him right." Those who had been stifled by Orion'
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1485 Magdalene's Regret
Magdalene's head spun. If not for the cane beside her, she would have collapsed. The Draycott family being investigated was unthinkable. That person would never allow it—unless they had already abandoned the Draycotts, letting them fall.The more she dwelled on it, the more her fear grew. The Draycotts were under investigation the moment she partnered with them. Which meant… their troubles had begun last week!"How could he lose money in the stock market when he had Lily Kent's guidance?" she thought.Her fingers dug into her palms. If the Draycott family's cash flow was truly in jeopardy, then the money she invested in them was as good as gone.Then, another realization struck her—the Draycotts had claimed to have set a trap for the Carvers. Yet, while they were crumbling, Aria remained unscathed.Magdalene couldn't comprehend it. She turned sharply to the person who had reported the news. "If the stock market is in such turmoil, what about the Carver family? What about Aria an
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1486 Too Late
Those words hit Magdalene like a punch to the gut. How could she admit now that Aria actually had real skills? She even had connections Magdalene knew nothing about. And those connections were more powerful than the Grishams' standing in Ludwiten. After all, playing the stock market required serious money to back her up! Magdalene's face grew paler as she stepped back, nervously twisting her bracelet between her fingers. Out of nowhere, she remembered what Aria had said at the Grisham residence. "I can bring the Fitzroy family down too." With a thud, Magdalene's head knocked against something as she stumbled backward. Her bracelet snapped, sending beads scattering across the floor with a soft clicking sound. "Ms. Kent! Someone get Ms. Kent!" That was Magdalene's gut reaction. She had a strong feeling that bad luck was coming. People would always turn to higher powers when they were in trouble. Magdalene was especially superstitious and hoped Lily might show her a way out
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1487 Things Were Over
The coldness in Orion's eyes revealed his true nature when he stared someone down. Lily trembled as they held her in front of Orion, whose face was twisted with rage. "Mr. Draycott, please listen. This stock market change was just bad luck. "What I told you was absolutely true, but somehow things changed. Give me another chance to make it up to you." With a loud smack, Orion slapped her across the face when she was done speaking. "Another chance? Who's going to give me another chance then?" Red finger marks appeared on Lily's cheek, making her cry out in pain. But Orion showed zero mercy as he grabbed her by the throat. "Remember what I said? If your predictions were wrong, I'd make you wish you were dead! "I put all my money in because of what you told me! And you tried to run? I dare you to try that again!" Lily felt like she was drowning, unable to breathe. After struggling for what felt like forever, Orion finally let go. Once she caught her breath, she calmed down. "

People were demanding, "What's with the rumors going around outside?" "We're the Draycotts! How could our family possibly be out of money?" "Say something! Are you mute?" Matt had always greeted everyone with a smile before. No matter how outrageous their words or how arrogant their attitude, he would just chuckle pleasantly. After all, he earned his pay by putting up with this stuff. But today, he really could not take it anymore. "What's happening? Go ask Orion! This isn't my company; it's your family's!" Such massive changes in the company had taken everyone by surprise overnight. How could ordinary employees possibly have predicted this? Orion was really reckless for using company funds to speculate on stocks! What would happen to all the working people now? The pressure had initially come from outside, and now it was coming from within. For Orion, those 60 or 70 million in funds didn't matter whether they were recovered or not. He might as well make a big play—what i

"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 Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1511 Being Kicked Out
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
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1505 The Fitzroys
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
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1504 Emerging From the Shadows
"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
