Chapter 159 A Bloody Problem

Author: Night Eleven
Back at Heartbound Hall, Aria continued to fiddle with the amethyst pendant she got from Landon. She felt a bit off today. Not only had she experienced an episode of her intermittent explosive disorder, but she had also encountered a familiar amethyst pendant.

In her memories, the amethyst pendant should have been hers. Yet, it belonged to Landon.

Her memories were in disarray. She pinched the bridge of her nose, trying to piece together the fragmented images.

She could recall bits and pieces, but most of her memories were still jumbled and incomplete.

Patience was needed, she decided, as she reattached the pendant. Then, she traced her lips, pondering the unusual effect Landon's blood had on her.

Her medical expertise, honed by self-treatment with both conventional and unconventional remedies, including cultivating the potent Whisperwind Herb, should have rendered her immune to most poisons by now.

Perhaps there was something more than poison in his body.

Aria drummed her f

    Landon was indeed not wearing designer clothing. Instead, he was wearing a custom-made suit by a renowned Nobeetan designer.Apart from the royal family, other people wouldn't even have the chance to wear haute couture clothing by that designer. However, the York family was always an exception, though.There was no way people like Karen would know something as secretive as that.Although the Layne family held influence in Janovin, Karen did not share that power.The Layne family in Janovin wouldn't even bother about Karen. However, Karen did reach out to them after Lily started studying there. After all, Karen had to gain influence in Southbury to mingle with the higher class.Marshall was a bit annoyed. "Why must you fight with that brat? She has already left and is now staying with Georgina. At least they have a small business to sustain themselves."Karen sneered and opened the livestream. "A small business? Have you ever seen a small business earning half a million a day?"M

    "I'm from the Short family," Christian said proudly. It was as if he could do anything he wanted just because of his family.The staff furrowed his eyebrows. "I'm sorry, sir. The Chamber of Commerce will be welcoming an important guest today. We didn't invite any doctors, so I'll need your cooperation to leave with your partner."Christian had never been so embarrassed before. "I…"The staff seemed to have received an order. He pressed his Bluetooth earphone and replied, "Yes, I'm at the door. Mr. York is already here? Okay. I'll go there right now!"Lily's eyes sparkled at the news. This might be her opportunity to meet the man she missed seeing last time. Fuming from the previous exchange, Christian didn't register her excitement until she said, "Christian, I don't want to take photos anymore. Let's head out to the front."Christian's mood improved. "Okay."Lily muttered, "Don't take it to heart. They're just unimportant staff members.""I know that. Let's go." Christian cou

    "Why are you bringing her up again?" Lily's eyes dimmed. When she lowered her head, a hint of viciousness appeared on her face.Christian didn't notice that. He merely thought she was displeased. He replied with a smile, "Don't overthink. I only love you. Her? She's such a stubborn woman. No man would ever want to date her."Lily bit her lip as tears formed in her eyes. "Is that true? But your mother likes her more than me."Christian enveloped her in his embrace. "Don't worry about my mom. She can't make decisions on behalf of my dad. I'll announce to the public that you're my fiancée later.""Okay," Lily answered sweetly. However, all she could think about was Landon. She had to find a way to meet him. That way, she could proceed with her plan.At this moment, numerous company representatives had gathered on the top floor of the Chamber of Commerce. These companies hailed from all across the country, not just Southbury.The desire to partner with York Group was palpable among t

    "My company is very interested in your project. You can inform your side to proceed with the contract." Landon adjusted his clothes and stood up. His handsome face seemed restrained.Harry was confused. "What… I…" He hadn't even discussed a thing with Landon.Yet, Harry had scored himself a contract just like that. It was like winning the lottery. There was a difference, though. The lottery might be a scam, but partnering with York Group meant he would get money!The others were even more confused. They didn't even know what medical livestreaming was.The business conference ended, leaving Landon as the only one with a clear understanding of the situation. He popped a herbal candy in his mouth, his eyes gleaming with a plan. This was Landon's way of involving himself in Aria's investment endeavors.Solo understood Landon's intentions.

    Aria noticed a change in their connection badge after finishing her message to the Holy Emperor. It was now a pink heart, and it lit up when she sent her text.Aria paused, questioning the purpose of this overly sentimental function. She vaguely recalled her moderator asking about giving the Holy Emperor a badge, but she hadn't thought much of it then. Now, however, it seemed inappropriate to use this badge for a serious conversation.Aria swiftly navigated to her moderator's account."Are you available? Please remove this badge," she requested, attaching a screenshot of the chatbox.A response came quickly, but it was from a customer service bot. "Hello, dear streamer! How can I be of assistance today?"Aria forwarded the Holy Emperor's account information. "Remove his badge," she instructed."Since the Holy Emperor only has a connection with you, the badge can only be removed if both request it. Alternatively, you can speak to a customer service representative to—"Aria cut th

    After Alice sent out that reply, she privately messaged Josh. "Josh, can I ask if you're the one who wants it or Mr. York?""I'm the one who wants it. Why do you ask?" Josh replied. As Landon's assistant, it was his duty to stay informed about Landon's interests.Alice replied, "Oh. It's nothing much. It's just that Mr. York suddenly sent gifts to a female streamer with our internal account. I thought… It's nothing! Don't worry. Only the three of us in the senior management know about Mr. York's account."When the female streamer was mentioned, Josh sucked in a deep breath. "Please also send me the streamer's account."Alice immediately went on with the task.Josh had a smile on his face. It seemed that Landon was interested in supporting the streamer. As the moderator had made a good choice in signing the streamer, Josh decided to reward the moderator with a bonus.After leaving the meeting room, Josh immediately clicked into Heartbound Hall's livestream.Josh relaxed a bit aft

    Landon's gaze fell on something outside. After a while, he chuckled meaningfully. "Yes, we've met before, Ms. Carver."Aria narrowed her eyes, looking dangerous all of a sudden. How much had Landon managed to find out about her, and would she need to discuss that with him in person?After a while, she heard the sounds of fabric rustling—Landon had apparently risen from his seat. Next, she heard him light something up. Probably a cigarette, which he smoked as he calmly said, "I was in the car when you saved Miles that one time. "He kept pestering me because he wanted to meet you, so I sent him back to Janovin. I wasn't in good shape back then, but I've always wanted to visit you and thank you in person."Sent? It sounded like he'd dumped Miles back in Janovin instead. This was fine. As Aria fiddled with the amethyst pendant in her hands, the hostility in her gaze gradually subsided. This young heir of a noble family had a unique way of expressing his thanks for sure. "There's

    Landon had obviously noticed Josh's entrance. He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, one hand in his pocket, his gaze so intimidating that it made Josh take a step back. Landon didn't mind that, though. He lowered his gaze to the rosary bracelet on his wrist as he fiddled with it. As the lights in the conference room dimmed, his face came to be shrouded in a mass of light and shadows, which also obscured his true emotions. The silence persisted for a while until Josh finally regained control of his breathing. Only then did Landon say in a low voice, "You want to see me, Ms. Carver?""You could say that." Aria didn't deny it.There was a smile in Landon's voice as he said, "Sure."His agreeing to Aria's proposition surprised her. Not just her, actually, but also Josh, who'd accidentally been privy to Landon's secret. Right now, he wished that he'd never entered the room. Landon said calmly, "I can send you a picture, but I won't accept a refusal to treat me."Aria

    After finishing her sentence, Aria ended the call. She trusted her senior would take action on that end. Besides, nobody at the Public Integrity Task Force would dare ignore her message after hearing the way she spoke. Lucas had received his transfer orders. Just after arriving, people were already waiting for him at the train station before he had even attended any meetings. None of them were low-ranking, which matched his own status. The phone call came at an oddly perfect time. It rang right as he left the station, and it was from the Public Integrity Task Force. He hadn't forgotten why he was transferred here, so he glanced at his secretary. His secretary, Douglas Nixon, told the others, "Mr. Murray has some personal business to attend to." Douglas handled things smoothly. He immediately blocked a few people from approaching, though they were all prominent public officials from Ludwiten. Lucas did not want to delay the matter for too long. After hearing the problem, he

    Besides, this spot was a perfect blind spot for surveillance. The school's security cameras couldn't reach here, and a tree blocked the view from across the street. If anyone reviewed the footage later, they would only see Eden exit the school gate and disappear after heading to the opposite side. This was exactly what Miguel and the scholarship committee wanted. Miguel had already walked away. He acted as if he'd just been out for a casual stroll, chatting with security while escorting a student along the way. Right then, Aria rode up on her motorcycle and caught the whole scene. Though she had planned to enter the school, she immediately spun her bike around and tailed the van as it drove off. Nobody noticed her because everyone in the van had their eyes fixed on Eden. The attention made Eden's skin crawl. The driver named Viggo Moseley chuckled. "You'll get used to it. The people you're meeting later are the ones handling your paperwork for going abroad." It was just a s

    "Don't be silly, your grandmother and I can take care of each other just fine," Brent said. Despite the fact that he came from a village, he never thought of women as any less than men. Eden was an orphan, but her grandparents gave her all their love. "Once you go abroad, your grandmother and I will move back to our hometown. We'll farm a little land and do some other jobs while waiting for your return!" Brent's laughter put Eden much more at ease. As Miguel walked ahead, he felt nothing but mockery when he overheard her conversation. Indeed, the apple didn't fall far from the tree. If there were really such great opportunities to study abroad, the school would surely give them to children of investors and business people who supported the school. Who would choose to send a bunch of poor kids overseas? Not understanding how social class worked was just plain stupid. Eden was walking behind him, so she couldn't see his expression. When they reached the gate, the security g

    Miguel said, "How are we rushing things at all? The list came out ages ago, so you're already behind schedule. "We need to handle your paperwork, clear things with your family, and get you seen by the scholarship committee before you miss this opportunity." Miguel made it sound like the spot was incredibly rare. "They picked you because of your top grades and all-around excellence. Once you're there, whether you impress them enough to get the scholarship is all on you." After hearing this explanation, Eden felt a little less worried. Her grades were definitely impressive since she was in the top one hundred of her year. Oakvale Academy was known for getting kids into good colleges and had solid connections with schools abroad. With Eden's academic record, being selected wasn't that surprising. What she did not realize was that Miguel said all this just to ease her suspicions. He needed her to let her guard down and follow him. Security cameras lined every school hallway. If

    Laura believed that once she and Jett met face-to-face, he would surely give in at the sight of her condition. After all, no child in the world would abandon their mother, especially not Jett! As his mother, Laura understood Jett well. But after hearing her words, Nisa shook her head. "Laura, if you asked me to arrange a meeting with Mr. Grisham, I might try to help. But if you drag Jett into this, the Grisham family will hold me responsible. "I won't do anything that foolish. You should forget about any thoughts of using your son too. You'll only make the Grishams think keeping you in Ludwiten is simply troublesome." Nisa was a clever woman, though somewhat blunt. She really wanted no further contact with Laura. She couldn't even handle her own husband, let alone manage someone else's problems. The socialites had kicked Laura out of their circle, and there was just no way they would let her back in. Today, Laura finally had a taste of how cruel people could be. She had nothi

    The person next to Durand widened his eyes. "Mr. Guetta, are you hiding something from us?" "Not at all." Durand kept his words guarded. "As businessmen, we need to understand what we should and shouldn't touch. The Fitzroy family's situation makes that pretty clear. "Let's see if Aria will be so lucky when facing similar circumstances." Lucky? Everyone knew the entire Fitzroy family had been arrested. Magdalene faced multiple charges with no hope of getting out. She had tried to send messages to that mysterious, powerful man; she believed her past connection with him might help. After all, that person had climbed so high due to many factors. Magdalene couldn't believe he would just watch as both the Draycott and Fitzroy families fell. Because if they did, he might not be able to retain his position too. Yet no one responded to her, and she finally experienced what it meant to have no peace. Every day, she heard Dorian cursing her for doing such terrible things. In just two

    Whether in traditional business or more speculative industries, Aria had her own plans and strategies. She was truly a genius among geniuses. Today, Philip finally learned that this brilliant woman had dedicated herself to serving her country long ago. None of the people here would have ever guessed she had this kind of background. Otherwise, they wouldn't have dared to go after her or the Grishams the way they did. Even when Yonah was alive, he spoke of her with contempt. Kenny thought she was nothing but a joke. Looking back now, Philip thought that it was really ironic. They had all lived in their arrogance and were too used to looking down on others. After all, they grew up privileged. Philip thought he understood everything about Aria, but in reality, he probably didn't even know a fraction of who she really was. Just like any other young man, he had dreams of being a hero and to become someone special who could serve their country with their life. The excitement dulled

    "Good," Aria said while looking at Philip with approval. "I'll remove all protection from you and leave only Nyx by your side. I'll know immediately if anything happens." Philip nodded. He understood that for all this time, he'd stayed safe only because of Aria's careful protection. That was why the Wagner family hadn't found any trace of him until now. Aria had used arcane on him and borrowed items from the Dracotigris Order to hide the negative energy coming from his body, keeping spirits away. In the past, Philip would often be followed by spirits. This hadn't happened lately because of the chain he wore on his wrist. Once all these protections were removed, he would be easily tracked down again. It might not happen right away, but with time, they would find him. With his birth signs in the Wagner family's possession, it would be even easier for that person to locate him. And if Aria stayed by his side, he wouldn't make effective bait. Philip wasn't like Leon. If something

    With a smile full of pain, Philip clenched his fists. "Aria, this is unbelievable. I've spent my time in nightclubs and driving fast cars, but I never once thought my great-grandfather betrayed our country." Aria knew Philip for his honesty and passion. He was someone who would collect miniatures of their national heroes and hang their flag in his race car—he clearly loved his country more deeply than most people. She wasn't good at comforting others. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Your special constitution protects you from all this. What your ancestors did doesn't change the fact that you're a good person." Philip felt a mix of emotions. Knowing these things brought nothing but pain. Without this knowledge, he would have lived forever in what he thought was truth. He had never told anyone about the Wagners. Each time he returned to their home, he felt the sad decline of what was once a great family. "I'm making slow progress right now." Aria looked up. "So I need t
