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
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1489 Secret Identity
Ralph Gambon was the most famous investment professional in Ludwiten. People said he had the Midas touch. Whatever he backed, whether stocks or companies, would flourish. The prominent families in Ludwiten had tried to recruit him many times, but he never appeared. Even Orion wanted to bring him into his company. After all, everyone wanted to recruit someone with such amazing skills like him. Ralph had gone nowhere, even declining invitations from the Chamber of Commerce. But this legendary figure was now on the phone, calling the person on the other end his boss! Could they be an overseas investor? Harlan could no longer maintain his usual composure. He knew Orion was ruthless, but he never imagined he would be so lawless as to target Elena. If those people hadn't shown up, Elena would have been kidnapped. Those men had even tried to assault her! Initially, Harlan just wanted to leave quietly, not wanting to take the fall for anyone. But now, he felt both afraid and furious.

Aria laughed freely when she was done unwrapping her candy. "I get your concerns, Mr. Wexford, but I think you're missing something. You probably know the person standing next to you." "Of course I know him. Anyone in finance knows Ralph Gambon, the investment guru." Aria spoke casually, "Then why do you think Ralph calls me 'Boss'?" That hit Harlan like a brick. That was exactly what he wanted to know—why would someone like Ralph call her that? "You're only seeing the surface, Mr. Wexford." Aria's voice remained calm. "The official documents mention not just the matter of the land development but also upcoming personnel changes. With all the corruption in the Land Planning Department, someone needs to step in and clean things up." Harlan's eyes widened. "Ms. Carver, are you saying there will be changes in government positions?" In the past, Harlan would have asked how she knew this. But not anymore. Maybe everyone in the business world had it wrong, including the Grish
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1491 Something Strange
Hearing Aria's words, Pippa's eyes widened. Everyone knew their company had fallen apart because Orion had lost money in the stocks, but nobody knew there was a specific reason behind it all. But Aria was claiming that it had something to do with her. Was that even possible? Pippa hesitated. "But you don't have an appointment..." "Here's my business card." Aria pressed something between her fingertips and handed it over. After seeing the name on the card, Pippa looked up in disbelief, then nervously dialed the CEO's office. At that moment, Orion was raging at Lily. He had smashed everything in his office to pieces. "Didn't you say it was a timing issue? Isn't it long enough now?" Orion looked like he wanted to devour Lily whole. Arlo already looked exhausted. He had too many problems to handle, and several managers had already quit. Every phone call was from someone demanding payment. The last thing Arlo wanted to hear now was another phone ringing. Yet, people from downsta
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1492 Something Seemed Off
Looking back, Lily realized Aria really had changed overnight, just like that. Lily hadn't paid attention before, but in her previous life, the Carver family had already fallen by this point. The news had even reported Warren's death. Aria had gone back home but couldn't measure up to Mindy in any way. In the end, she had vanished without a trace, hadn't she? Why was everything so different now? Lily stared at her hands blankly. Orion's words had suddenly clicked something into place in her mind. She mumbled to herself, "Why is it different from before? Why?" Orion had lost all patience for her rambling. "Just tell me about Aria's future. Nothing else matters to me. Based on what you know, what will happen to her in the end?" "She... She..." Lily's mind went blank. "Something must have happened to her! Mr. Draycott, have someone find my grandmother. She was closest to Aria, so she'd know what her weak spots are now!" Aria had changed so suddenly, but why had Georgina never
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1493 Underestimating Harlan
Orion's fingers froze as he glanced at the bodyguards on either side of Aria. The men in black withdrew their hands and moved back a bit, though they remained in the office. Aria seemed totally unfazed, with a smile on her face still. Orion burst into laughter. "I don't get what you're trying to say anymore. You're the one who shows up without warning while I'm handling some business." As he spoke, he gave Lily a meaningful look. "Some people from small towns think they can pull the wool over everyone's eyes with their little tricks. I should really teach them a lesson so they learn to follow the rules wherever they are!" Though he appeared to be talking about Lily, he was really taking a shot at Aria. "Hmm? I don't understand any of that." Aria's voice was cool. "But I do know one simple truth—when you lose, you lose. Making excuses just shows poor character. Wouldn't you agree, Mr. Draycott?" Orion's face suddenly darkened. "I didn't expect the Yorks would help you this m
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1494 Things Were Over
Aria looked up casually. "Don't underestimate what a small player can do, Mr. Draycott. I have high hopes for Harlan." Hearing her speak this way, Orion's agitation actually subsided. This young woman still could not see the whole picture. So what if she beat him in the stock market? She understood nothing about connections, relationships, or how the system worked. Whatever evidence Harlan held, he would need to be able to deliver it to the right people! "Aria, you should spend more time learning from your uncles. Some things don't automatically get results just because you do them." Orion's face was dark, but he cackled loudly. "If you hadn't pushed Harlan to do certain things, he might have spent a few peaceful years in prison. And you wouldn't be forced out of Ludwiten so quickly. "But you just had to stir up trouble with people you shouldn't have messed with." When Orion said this, he lowered his voice. His eyes held nothing but malice as he looked at Aria. She smiled.

"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

"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
