"After faking it the whole day, I'm tired now." Aria stood in front of the door, blocking everyone's exit. As nonchalantly as always, she said, "Okay, quit the act. Who will tell me where the keys to the basement are?"Olivia, who had taken Aria here, was barely hanging in there. One could see from her gaze the amount of regret she was feeling. Garrett cursed at Aria in the local dialect, which Aria couldn't understand. She wasn't dumb, so she grabbed Garrett and yanked him toward her. "You know where they are, I think."Liam threw a fit. "You dare touch my grandpa? I'll kill you!"Aria didn't bother looking at him. She'd hit anyone who came at her. "You'll never die in peace after beating up an old man!" Liam said, trying to catch his breath.Aria said slowly, "He's not an old man. He's more like a despicable creature. Your family's rotten from the older generations to the younger—your parents abduct other people, and your grandpa rears dogs that bite humans, so I'm dealing wi
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 247 Jeffrey Carver
Jenny turned back. She was still smiling when she collapsed into Aria's arms. Rainie was shocked. "Did you drug her too?""Her morals and outlook are already skewed, even though she's only six." Aria eyed her. "Some children are capable of greater evils than adults."While Rainie hesitated, Aria was already moving. Having studied criminology, she knew the importance of psychology.There had been cases where villagers had surrounded police cars in order to hinder officers from apprehending suspects. Despite identifying themselves, the villagers feigned ignorance and continued throwing bricks.These villages, despite pockets of kindness, harbored darkness. In one particularly egregious example, women were openly bought and sold. There, the concept of community was a cruel mockery, replaced by a living hell. Aria had assessed Rainie before deciding to trust her. Everyone else, including the children, remained off-limits for now. …The basement was vast and deep, noticeably cold
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 248 Jeffrey's Escape
Aria paid no heed to his expression. She pulled him up and said calmly, "It will hurt, so hang on tight."Before Jeffrey could get a look at her, his dislocated arm was popped back into its socket with a loud crack. Jeffrey furrowed his brows as cold sweat ran down his back. Aria gave him a look. She had to credit Jeffrey for his pain tolerance. As expected of a soldier—the average person wouldn't have survived this. Even without dehydration and starvation claiming him, the untreated wound on his shoulder would lead to a runaway fever. Even now, his temperature was dangerously high. However, his mental fortitude was strong. Aria had provided him with a makeshift crutch, which he used to haul himself out of the basement.When Jeffrey exited the basement, Rainie wasn't the first person he'd noticed. Instead, it was Jenny. Jenny was lying beside the basement door. He'd planned to escape with Rainie, but on his way out of the village, he'd encountered Jenny and given her a bag
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 249 An Unlikely Alliance
Sue only grasped Aria's plan as she began to drive. The injured Jeffrey disguised himself as Ollie. He had his arm draped around Rainie. Through the car windows, those outside couldn't discern his true identity.This village might have been small, but anyone leaving had to pass three checkpoints.It took Rainie a year to get past all three checkpoints. The first two were relatively easy, but the guards at the final checkpoint had very keen eyes. After stopping them, the guard peered into the car. He vaguely recalled that the Barter family car hadn't been so crowded when they entered the village. Rainie's face paled. However, Aria piped up casually, "Pull over and give him a scolding."Sue's hands trembled. "What?""How do you normally insult those in your way? Do it." Aria raised her chin. Sue met Aria's icy gaze, then at the pendant she was fiddling with. Sue contemplated using this opportunity to ask for help, but Aria's words chilled her. "The poison in your system will

The authorities at Uludon could not ignore the serious consequences of what had transpired.Cold sweat ran down Gregory Webb's back as he rushed toward Coral Village, racking his brain for solutions. Frank sat beside him, looking equally anxious. He turned his gaze toward Gregory and said, "I asked you about Olivia and Grant, and you assured me there was nothing wrong with them."Gregory paled. Feeling guilty, he said, "I had no idea this is how they were earning money.""You should at least know what's going on in a town under your jurisdiction, shouldn't you, as the county chief?" Frank's words were sharp. "When we tried to trace Rainbow, our leads were severed in your county.""I didn't understand why at first," Frank continued coldly. "But now I see—it's how the people here operate, and your leniency had been the biggest obstacle!"Gregory tried to distance himself from the scandal, assuming the airs of a bureaucrat. "You shouldn't let a small group of people shape your opin
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 251 A Woman's Inner Strength
Gregory's mind went blank when he heard the last sentence. He hadn't felt anxious when he'd heard that Perry Town had kidnapped someone and that Frank had come to seek him out, and he'd felt like he could deal with it even when everyone was waiting for him to surface on the Internet.However, he was now completely in a panic after getting that call because Ollie just had to lay his hand on someone backed up by Kenneth Kane. A heavy fog shrouded the mountains. The moment they took a turn into the paths leading to the village, their car was stopped by a horde of angry villagers. An old lady pounced forward, yelling, "Was it you who took that damn girl away?""Madam, calm down and listen to me, I'm—" Gregory raised his arms high. The old lady refused to listen to him. She spat on him. "I don't care who you are. Give us the girl!"Gregory was dumbfounded. He recalled how he'd been loved and respected by everyone the last time he'd shown up here. "Have you gone crazy? Do you know w
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 252 Landon's Here to Save the Day
Rainie hadn't had the courage to get out of the car at first, as this place was the beginning of her nightmare. Even if she escaped this place, she would forever be different compared to her peers of the same age. Why had she been so dumb? Why had she believed the old man's words? Her blind trust had led to her abduction and imprisonment in the mountains. She'd been raped and had given birth to a child while all her classmates had bright futures. Two years of constant fear and diminished self-worth had carved a deep scar on her soul. Yet when Aria looked at her with that radiant smile of hers, Rainie felt a flicker of hope reignited in her heart. "You're right!" she agreed. "A woman's innocence isn't the only measure of her worth!""Then let's go," Aria chuckled. She turned her gaze to the lavish mansion. "They're probably waiting eagerly for me, their future daughter-in-law."…Gregory couldn't bear to imagine what would unfold. Aria's every word would shake the very foundati
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 253 Consumed by Regret
Aria agreed coolly, "Sure."She then pushed Ollie to the side and let go of the rope she held. "You should be able to take fair action now, Mr. Barter."Dick immediately helped Ollie up. When he noticed that Ollie's legs were broken, his expression darkened. What wedding? He would just hold a funeral for Aria instead! "Tell me, miss, what did my son do to you?" Dick said with a sinister veneer of kindness on his face, "You should have considered yourself fortunate that he's set his sights on you. However, you weren't thankful at all! How dare you lay a hand on him!"Aria raised a brow. "He wanted to rape me, and you're telling me to be grateful? How is this lawful in any manner?""Here, in Perry Town, the Barter family is the law!" Dick bore down on Aria. "They kidnapped you because you look naїve and stupid—an easy target!"Aria fiddled with her amethyst pendant. "That was what you said when Rainie escaped from the village and asked for help from the town government, wasn't i

Ordinary people understood the harshness of reality. Brent, having lived in poverty for most of his life, had been looked down on more times than he could count.Poor people like them could die unnoticed at home, and no one would care, let alone offer help without expecting something in return.If something really happened to Eden, Brent doubted he and his wife could do anything to save her. Judy was a prime example. Her father, Alec Lanez, had even given up selling bread just to look for her.Every time Alec went to the school, he was met with the same cold response."It has nothing to do with us. Your daughter ran away and refuses to acknowledge you. So why are you coming here? Peasants like you should know your place. Without us, people like you could only dream of going overseas. How filthy!"Brent had heard the school's representative say those exact words when he accompanied Alec. Both of them could only stand there, humiliated and speechless.Alec's back was sore from how m
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1597 Thank You for Helping Us
Eden immediately opened the windows after hearing that. "Did Ms. Carver send you here? Is she in any danger? I'm really worried about her. Should I call the police? I'd feel horrible if anything happened to her."Weston remained calm and indifferent. "Calling the police will only make them suspicious. My boss is amazing, and there's nothing she can't handle. She has a plan. Right now, my priority is to bring all of you to Heartbound Hall in Janovin so your grandfather can receive treatment."The respect in Weston's voice when he spoke of Aria was unmistakable."Pack up your things and come with me," Weston ordered.Their team had already checked the surroundings and ensured nothing would go wrong. Anyone watching would think Eden's grandparents were simply collecting bottles and preparing lunch as usual, not leaving the house until the afternoon.Without wasting time, Weston picked up the elderly couple's luggage. His most important task now was to get Eden and her grandparents to
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1596 Taking Aria Away
"We followed the address, so this must be the place. Sir, isn't that the girl?" It was the same group of people as before. After failing their last mission because of Aria, they were being extra cautious this time."We can't afford any more mistakes. Treat her kindly so that she won't suspect anything.""Yes, sir."When they saw a young woman in a school uniform appear right on time, they were convinced she was the right person. After all, Aria looked exactly like Eden.They rolled down the car window and waved. "Ms. Bohmer, over here."Aria looked up and recognized several familiar faces. She grabbed her bag and walked toward the car."Ms. Bohmer, we meet again," The driver greeted Aria warmly. "Let's go."The team had prepared for a difficult encounter. They'd even been authorized to use force if necessary, as long as they avoided surveillance cameras. But to their surprise, Aria simply opened the car door and got in without resistance.Aria glanced at their puzzled expression

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
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1592 They're the Ones in Danger
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
