Lily fell silent, eyeing Aria warily. She hadn't expected Aria to bring up the Wagner family, especially since she had revealed nothing about them. Logically, Aria shouldn't have even noticed the family's existence. Lily's eyes darted around as she prepared to lie, but before she could, Aria let out a sudden chuckle that made Lily's fear intensify.A chill ran down Lily's spine. She didn't dare deceive Aria. The more she met Aria's gaze, the more she felt like her thoughts were being laid bare."The Wagner family used to be insignificant," Lily started, her voice tight. "They were never considered one of the top families in Janovin, only sub-par. But…"She paused, biting her lip as she gathered her thoughts."In my past life, the Wagner family became the biggest winner. After the Carver Group went under, they took over."Everyone thought they were just humble and polite. No one considered them a threat. But once they settled in Janovin, they expanded rapidly into the southern ma
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1543 The Wagner Family
Lily had always regretted not having a medical-related business in her previous life, and after her reincarnation, she was determined to make her mark in the pharmaceutical field. She knew it would prove useful in just a few months. Lily explained, "Most businesses suffered tremendous losses, especially in the physical sectors. Only those tied closely to people's essential needs thrived. Cinemas shut down, and supermarkets saw the most profit aside from medical supplies."She continued, "The Wagner family used this opportunity to solidify their dominance. After that, no other family could even come close to their standing in the business world.""Mr. Wagner Senior is incredibly capable." Lily's words caught Aria's attention."Just how capable?" Aria's question was pointed, aimed at getting more than just a surface-level answer.Lily's eyes flickered briefly. "Anyone managing such a vast enterprise has to be competent."Aria took a step closer. "You know I'm not asking to get suc
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1544 Stopping the Pandemic
Aria walked over and spoke coldly. "We're only getting involved because he's from the state government."If Lily had heard this in the past, she would have dismissed it as a bluff. But now, with Aria's secret as leverage, Lily made a chilling realization—the current Aria was far more dangerous than the one she once knew.Despite being reincarnated, Lily couldn't predict Aria's fate. Aria was the one person Lily couldn't figure out—she only knew the outcome of the past version of Aria. The woman standing before her was a stranger, someone Lily couldn't foresee.A dark thought struck Lily as she took a step back, an awful suspicion settling in. Aria was behind the upheaval in the Carver, York, and Ludwiten business circles, as well as the Hornwell Gold stocks. It was Aria's presence that had disrupted events that should have unfolded differently.The realization made Lily break into a cold sweat. She looked at Aria with fear, and Aria, sensing her unease, felt there was no need to

Both cholera and plague were devastating, infectious diseases with the potential to be fatal. Cholera first emerged in the Durin subcontinent, particularly around the Galiath Delta. Local customs, including the practice of disposing of corpses in the river, had also contributed to the outbreak. At the time, Solandria countries lacked the medical knowledge needed to control pandemics. The simultaneous emergence of smallpox and plague left people powerless to defend themselves.It was common for plagues to follow disasters. Still, thanks to current medical advancements, many known diseases could now be contained—unless the virus had an unknown origin, complicating efforts to control it.Aria had her suspicions. Lily had mentioned the pandemic, the resulting economic decline, and how the Wagner family had profited immensely.Her intuition told her the Wagner family was behind the outbreak. She didn't believe they were acting alone; the true masterminds were likely overseas.But thes
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1546 Following the Money Trail
"Scholarship program?" Aria asked as her eyes lit up for a moment. Anyone who knew her would realize she had just figured something out, though a few small pieces of the puzzle were still missing. Lily didn't catch on and thought Aria was confused, just like she was. "I have no idea how Orion Draycott used this scholarship thing to become the Chamber of Commerce president. "It should only boost his image instead of doubling his profits. Besides, there are so many billionaires in the Chamber, including elite families like the Grishams. "Even if the Grishams fell from grace, someone else should've stepped up. But somehow the Draycott family has been running the show in Ludwiten these past few years. That's exactly the ending I saw in my past life." Lily resented Orion right now. After all, he had nearly beaten her to death with everyone watching. She was now in a miserable state and was hated by everyone. Though part of that was Aria's doing, Orion had certainly contributed m
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1547 What Was Really Going On
Miguel pushed his glasses up and looked at Eden. "All the applicants are either left-behind children or raised by grandparents, so everyone's starting from the same place. "Since this money comes from the scholarship program, the situation depends on your own efforts." Eden was confused. "What do you mean, Mr. Sonder? Should I provide additional documentation?" Miguel laughed when he heard her words. "Eden, I've told you before—the paperwork isn't the main concern. What matters is whether students like you would follow instructions. "For example, when I asked you to meet with the executives from the scholarship committee last time, you refused. That's not acceptable, right?" Furrowing her brows, she fidgeted with her clothes nervously. She was clearly uncomfortable and afraid of what Miguel was suggesting. But Miguel acted as if he hadn't noticed her discomfort. He even walked behind her and patted her back. He didn't look like an educator at all, nor did he resemble the ge
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1548 Something Strange About Priscilla
With the help of scholarships, plenty of students had managed to finish school overseas and land jobs at big companies. Eden hoped that once she grew up, she could take care of her grandparents. After all, her grandfather needed medicine year-round and was still trying to cover her school costs. She figured if she could start making money, her grandfather wouldn't have to work so hard anymore. The kinder the child, the less they would understand how cruel people could be. At the same time, Aria didn't leave the villa after meeting with Lily. She needed to get ahead of the information Lily had shared. After Lily was taken away, Simon, who hadn't said a word until now, spoke up, "Boss, we can't let this epidemic happen. I'll check customs again and look at everyone and everything that's come into the country lately." Simon's gift was his incredible memory. In any crowd, he could pick someone out after just one glance. Hearing his words, Aria looked up. "Customs is a dead end.
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1549 Being Intelligent
Between the epidemic, the Draycott scholarship program, and Priscilla's medispa, there had to be a connection Aria and her team hadn't found yet. Perhaps Aria needed to pay Priscilla another visit and check out her clinic. Just as she was thinking this, she heard a soft drip. It was like water hitting something in the distance. Everyone in the Special Missions Unit exchanged glances, looking toward the deepest part of the villa. It was completely dark back there, the kind of place that needed flashlights. Oddly, this corner of the villa got absolutely no light. The columns blocked everything perfectly, which probably kept the area in darkness at all times. Even stranger, not a single lamp had been installed. It wasn't something homeowners would normally do. Without a word, Aria turned on her phone's flashlight and headed in. The others followed, and they immediately felt a chill as they crossed the threshold. The place felt unnaturally damp and cold. When the others tried to

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
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1591 Aria Goes All Out
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
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1590 Someone Believes Aria
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
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1589 Perfect Lie
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
