Salome reined in her anger. She was too smart to reveal that the Gunther family was on its last legs in public.The most important thing she had to do at the moment was to keep everyone else from suspecting anything. "You're right. Everyone has bore witness to our achievements in the medical world in the past few years. It's just a little annoying to receive such unfortunate news on such a happy occasion."Marshall was a businessman with a sharp nose. He sensed that something was off. Karen was just afraid that Salome would turn Lily away. So, she was still singing her praises. "That's for sure! You've even won awards abroad. Surely, no one would dare to challenge you in Farshya!"Salome didn't mention the fact that the targeted drug analysis that won the award was provided by the Panacea Society.She sighed and said, "There's no need to brag about that, Karen. We're not perfect, after all, like the treatment for Mr. York. We were short of one herb—the Whisperwind Herb. If we h
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 18 Finding Ms. Carver
"Ms. Carver! Ms. Carver! I've finally found you!"Frank spoke with a thick Janovian accent. He was so excited that his pot belly was trembling.Aria glanced at him. He was wearing a nice suit. He wasn't tall, but he looked like a successful businessman. She wasn't acquainted with someone like that. She picked up her bag and said calmly, "You've got the wrong person.""Wrong person…" Frank echoed her words in disappointment. He observed Aria's beauty and elegance, instinctively believing she might be the "Ms. Carver" he had been seeking.Thinking back to what he did, he realized that his actions had bordered on desperation. The intel provided by the people in Uludon didn't mention that "Ms. Carver" was a medical practitioner. Aria was a very skilled doctor. If she was indeed the "Ms. Carver" he was looking for, the Kents would at least have mentioned her medical prowess. He just thought she resembled the "Ms. Carver" he was looking for from behind. So, he made a mistake. Sin
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 19 Aria Volunteers to Treat Warren
Frank wasn't trying to put down Aria.Nevertheless, the Carvers kept a low profile. Even when the sons of the family ventured forth to establish their own careers, they never told anyone they belonged to the prominent Carver family.Warren had made the trip to Southbury to bring the Carver family's youngest daughter back home, so he didn't want to make a big deal out of it.Frank had gotten a huge fright just now when he thought he had inadvertently exposed Warren's identity.Plenty of elite families in Southbury would kill to establish a connection with the Carvers. If they found out Warren was here, he wouldn't be able to receive treatment in peace.Thus, Frank could not be the one who exposed Warren's identity and situation.Aria noticed Frank's reaction, but she didn't say anything. After all, doctors were obligated to keep their patient's information confidential.No matter who Warren was, he was merely a patient to Aria.That being said, she wondered why the Carvers would
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 20 Are You Sure You Can Treat Him
"And you are?" Stuart asked as he turned to look at Aria. He saw a young woman with long black hair standing before him. She seemed to be sucking on a candy.Though she looked rather young, she was blindingly beautiful. There was a hint of elegance peeking through her aloof demeanor. She had a mole near the corner of her eye. For some reason, her dark eyes exuded a compelling air when she looked at others.Frank quickly said, "Stuart, I brought her here. She's the genius—""How ridiculous!" Salome screeched sharply, cutting Frank off."You again, you greedy young woman." Salome, who had finally arrived, glanced at Aria, her expression darkening. "Are you here to trick patients at the hospital because you couldn't get any money just now?"Then, Salome shouted, "Who brought her in here? Shouldn't you have checked her background first?"Upon hearing Salome's voice, Bryan ran over in a hurry. "This is all a misunderstanding, Dr. Gunther. These people here came with the patient. Right
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 21 She Is Qualified
"You're actually familiar with medicine?" Bryan exclaimed in shock.Scoffing, Salome remarked, "Are you even thinking straight, Dr. Lowe? How can a young woman like her know anything about medicine? I bet she overheard one of the nurses describing the patient's symptoms.""This young woman just arrived, Dr. Gunther. None of us had a chance to speak to her yet," one of the nurses chimed in.Salome eyed the nurse who spoke and said, "So what? How old is she? She probably hasn't even graduated yet. Does she have a license? How can she diagnose patients without one?"A loud smack rang out as Aria swiftly slammed her medical license down on the chair. To everyone's amazement, she was even licensed as an attending physician! Everyone who practiced medicine knew how hard it was to become an attending physician.No one dared to say Aria wasn't qualified anymore. It was almost as if Aria had slapped Salome in the face.The doctors and nurses were still in disbelief as they muttered among
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 22 Landon Arrives
Scoffing, Salome said, "What are you people so shocked by it? She's a country bumpkin. It's no surprise she's familiar with the symptoms of a tick bite. She's just tricking everyone into thinking she knows medicine. Go on. See if she dares to conduct surgery!"Aria didn't intend to perform surgery on Warren. Instead, she took out a set of acupuncture needles from the medical kit.Everyone who had high hopes for Aria's medical skills was sorely disappointed by this."Acupuncture needles? Is she going to administer acupuncture when the patient's condition is that serious?""She's not taking it seriously at all!""Maybe it's because she doesn't know how to perform surgery. Why did Dr. Lowe choose to have faith in a young woman like her? What a troublesome turn of events."Salome gloated, "What did I say? It was all just an act. She has no real talent at all. Maybe the license is a fake too!""Dr. Gunther's right. How can such a young woman be a licensed attending physician?""Don'
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 23 Sparks Flying
The moment Landon stepped into the elevator, the air inside seemed to grow cold. With his gaze averted, he seemed like a peaceful, harmless person, but when his gaze focused on someone, it gave that person a somewhat frightening feeling."Fill me in on the situation," Landon said.Wiping his sweat away, Abraham said, "Rest assured, Mr. York. Dr. Gunther is an expert in this field. With her treating Mr. Carver Senior, I'm sure everything will be fine!"Only Landon, who held the reins in the York family, could strike such fear in the hearts of other prominent people.Toying with the rosary bracelet he was wearing, Landon quirked an eyebrow and remarked, "That's not what I heard.""W-We're not lying, Mr. York," Harold stammered. "We would never do anything to jeopardize Mr. Carver Senior's condition. After all, he's from the Carver family!"Landon didn't say anything. He simply waited until the elevator reached the sixth floor, but that only made his commanding presence feel even mo
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 24 I Need a Test Subject
Neither Aria nor Landon averted their eyes. In fact, Aria blatantly stared at Landon with a clear, unwavering gaze.She was fond of looking at handsome men and had seen her fair share before, but none could compare to the man standing before her. His sickly pale complexion complemented his dark, obsidian eyes. The combination gave off an air of cold sternness when he looked at others.He had the air of a reserved gentleman, both noble yet fragile at the same time. It was uncommon among men.The hustle and bustle of the hospital didn't drown out his presence. He stood there looking like an aristocrat from ancient times.Aria watched as Frank ran over to Landon the moment he spotted Landon and rambled away in excitement.Separated by the window and the wall, Aria couldn't hear their conversation. She simply raised her eyebrow.At the very next second, Landon looked at her once more. The warm light of his surroundings added a touch of haziness to his features, but the lack of distin

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
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1558 The Stepping Stone
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
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1556 The Gathering Storm
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
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1555 At Her Service
"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
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1554 Atonement
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
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1553 Soul Transfer
Aria continued, "My senior is coming to investigate economic crimes and corruption. We don't have to worry about the state authorities causing us troubles too—he might become the governor of Ludwiten." This was Aria's speculation, but she had good reasons backing her guesses. The Chamber of Commerce was important yet heavily corrupted. Those in power wouldn't ignore this, especially with the lieutenant governor involved. The personnel changes happening now were surely related to these matters. Everyone in the Special Missions Unit knew Aria had been assigned a senior colleague. Those authorities might not know Aria's true identity, but the Murray family had enough influence to handle things here. If all else failed, there was always Landon, who was the head of the York family. Simon had caught a glimpse of him from a distance once and found him even more mysterious than rumors suggested. Simon thought he'd stay hidden well, but Landon spotted him anyway. It was eerie—he seeme
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1552 The Team's Deployment
The driver had been taking his time to drive before he got the call. But as soon as the student stepped out, she watched in amazement as he suddenly floored it, showing off driving skills smoother than a professional racer's. The car moved so fast that it kicked up wind, leaving her no time to process what had just happened. The cab driver was Stormhowl, the tracking specialist from the Special Missions Unit. His codename sounded like something from a video game and didn't match him at all. Nobody would have thought this ordinary-looking middle-aged man with a goofy smile and thick accent was someone feared by international spies. "Boss, what do you need me to dig up?" Stormhowl walked in with a cigarette between his lips, his smile growing even warmer when he saw Aria. Everyone knew that while the Special Missions Unit members didn't always see eye to eye, 001 was someone they all looked up to. This included Stormhowl, regardless of the age gap. "I'll cut to the chase. An
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1551 Time to Find Tobias
Suddenly, Aria looked up at the bas-reliefs. Some sources did mention that The Serpent's Succession ritual required a specific manifestation. Many thought soul transfer was easy, but that was not true. The human body had three internal flames; as long as these burned, spirits would find it nearly impossible to possess someone. Random possession wasn't possible unless there was a blood connection or, in Philip's rare case, an unusually receptive negative constitution suited for arcane practice. Based on the person's methods from the manifestation, they definitely found a compatible body and used The Serpent's Succession ritual to transfer themselves. This blood was the key. Aria's eyes darkened. This wasn't ordinary blood. Blood from the living differed completely from blood of the dead—and this was from the living. The source was impossible to trace now. After all, this place had been abandoned. Whoever did this wasn't here anymore, and the low temperature would cause profess
