Landon paused. Aria leaned closer toward him and said, "I've known you for a long time, but because of what I heard at the hospital, I've always assumed that you were a member of the Carver family.

"Now that I think of it, something isn't right with that. Frank listens to you, and Mr. Lowe accompanies you to the hospital himself.

"It's not just members of the Carver family who can command such deference, but also members of the York family—the latter more so."

Aria's gaze fell on his wrist. "You always wear that rosary bracelet that helps to relieve the uneasiness of the body and mind. I should've figured out who you are a long time ago."

Landon coughed lightly as he supported Aria. His lips were pale as he said, "I thought I could keep that under wraps. I'm sorry."

His handsome features looked even more harmless when he wasn't wearing his glasses. He looked especially elegant and pious as the winds blew. "But you ended up figuring it out anyway."

"I'm Landon York." He smiled. "

    Aria was speechless. That wasn't what she'd asked, was it?Landon said, "Those words used to feel like shackles binding me. No matter how I tried to free myself from that, they reminded me that I wouldn't be able to decide who I'd get married to.""I can treat your sickness—" Aria had just started speaking when Landon interrupted her with a chuckle. "But now I'm glad that they serve to tie you and I together."Aria looked confused, which was a rare expression on her. Landon held her in his arms. His heart thumped steadily and firmly in his chest. "I've had feelings for you since a long time ago, and they're completely unrelated to who you might be."Aria raised her head, wanting to look at him, but he, feeling insecure, pressed her head into his chest. "I don't have any unadvisable pastimes, and I'm good at earning money. Perhaps you could take some time to consider getting together with me.""Sure." Aria's nose was buried in his clothes, and she could feel him breathing. He was

    Warren had assumed that he'd have to spend a lot of time convincing Aria to return to Janovin with him, but she agreed readily.This made Warren very eager to return there. Aria prepared his medicine before telling him about her plans. "You should return to Janovin first, Grandpa. I'll go later after picking up my grandma.""You want me to go back first?" Warren was reluctant to be apart from Aria, so he threw a tantrum like a kid. "No."Aria chuckled. "The medical resources in this county are limited. Your health condition means that I need to treat you with all I have, but they're short of many herbs here.""I'll go with you to meet your grandma, then." Warren's words brooked no refusal. "The Carver family is indebted to her. I should've visited her to thank her long ago."Aria couldn't very well say no to that. Before their departure, Aria visited Jeffrey. He woke up just as she was adjusting the drip rate of the IV bag he was hooked to. He grinned. "Hey, Aria."There seem

    Georgina had been waiting for Aria since getting her call in the afternoon. She and Sarah felt anxious when they watched Aria's livestream. Thankfully, Lucas was also present and told them about the plan to arrest the criminals. Georgina would've bought tickets to Uludon immediately if not for that. "That's Aria, isn't it, Ms. Harris? That car looks so expensive—and it has a Janovian license plate!"Janovian? Georgina looked up, only to see six luxury cars parked over there. Aria had come out of the vehicle leading the envoy, supporting an old man as they walked over. The old man wore a suit. "How did Aria get to know those people? They're obviously wealthy at first glance!"As Georgina's neighbors in the alley milled around, she smiled. "They're her biological family."Aria had told Georgina everything she needed to on the phone the previous day. As thorough as she was, she worried that Georgina would overthink it. At the end of the call, she mentioned, "I set my sights

    Initially, Georgina hesitated about going to Janovin with Aria, but now it seemed that she must. Even if she wouldn't be of any help, she could still watch over Aria. Warren and Georgina talked for a long time. Georgina showed Warren photos of Aria when she was a child. "Look at how out of it she was; her gaze was so blank. I was worried about her grades, but now she's the smartest student in the state."Warren's eyes shone. "She's the smartest student in the state?" He knew Aria took after him, unlike Elijah and Leon, who were only interested in acting and singing."Yeah, she's incredibly smart. The Kent family owe her, to be honest." Georgina said guiltily, "My good-for-nothing son and daughter-in-law treated her really badly."Georgina told Warren everything. Warren was understanding. "You didn't have a hand in all that. You watched over and provided for Aria until adulthood, and this is indisputable. Aria is constantly thinking of how she should care for you.""Aria keeps eve

    Landon was patient. "Where's your bank account number again?"Sam pointed at the straps of his suspenders.Landon transferred 100,000 dollars to his bank account and said, "I heard that you're partial to yarrow and staghorn."Sam nodded.Landon ruffled his hair with a smile. "I'll bring some for you next time."Sam decided he would tolerate Landon since he'd paid and would bring those herbs for him the next time they met. Tolerating Landon's existence was the farthest Sam could go. He'd never grow to like Landon because Landon's presence felt dangerous, and he always found himself having the urge to escape whenever he was in Landon's vicinity.Sam had no idea if Aria had listened to what he'd said to her. He heaved a long sigh when he thought about it, completely oblivious to the fact that his words had achieved an effect completely opposite of what he was envisioning.Aria still had some loose ends to tie up in Southbury, so she planned to get some investigations done when Wa

    This was the scene that greeted Landon when he arrived. Aria didn't look like someone here for groceries but like a doctor offering her services for free in the market.Among all the people he'd met, she was most adored by the elderly. He'd wanted to lend her a hand through his connections, but only after he'd returned to Southbury did he realize that she knew people as important as Kenneth Kane and didn't need his help at all.Landon fiddled with the beads he wore around his wrist, deep in contemplation. Aria still hadn't noticed him yet. She was inspecting someone when her grocery bag was suddenly gone. She turned back only to see Landon's handsome face. He wasn't wearing glasses this time, so he looked less aloof and intimidating. Aria could see that Landon was trying his utmost best to blend in. However, he'd ended up being surrounded nevertheless."He's your boyfriend your grandma's been talking about, isn't he? He's handsome!""You're a good match! Both of you look good."

    Samuel's grip on his phone tightened. The person reporting to him pitched his voice lower. "Dad, the project in Uludon is a bust. The HOU was in charge of apprehending those involved, and the York family had a hand in it too. "I have no other alternative but to stop the project. I'm worried that we'll be exposed if we maintain an overly high profile for any longer.""The York family, you say?" Samuel narrowed his eyes. "Since when does the York family get themselves involved in such matters?""Has the Murray family started working with the York family, Dad?"Samuel seemed to contemplate it. "No. The York family never forms any alliances.""Lucas Murray's career is going way too swimmingly so far. That young lady adopted by the Kents has meddled in way too much!" The man on the phone with Samuel seemed to hate Aria to the bone, gritting his teeth in resentment as he spoke.Samuel's gaze cooled.

    Warren took a look at the tickets. Aria had booked them for a train leaving two hours later, meaning he could still stay here and have tea for an hour longer. That cheered him up, and he started chatting with Georgina again. Aria went into her room, grabbed some herbs, and wrapped them properly. Before Frank and Warren left, she reminded Frank, "I asked Mr. Watson about this. He said that no one had tampered with his prescription, but I noticed the presence of abnormal sounds in Grandpa's lungs. "After you return, please monitor Grandpa's diet. He should be having meals following the recipes while controlling intake of other foods. I'll resume treating him after I arrive in Janovin."Warren was visibly healthier recently. He'd been coughing when he'd first arrived, but now his face was ruddy. Aria had also given Warren a bag filled with herbs. Warren had wanted to start on some work on the train, but the herb bag had a calming effect. Coupled with how comfortable the first-cla

    Back then, a rumor circulated that everyone desired the Grisham family's daughter. Audriana had thought it was an exaggeration. After all, no matter how beautiful a woman was, she would inevitably age. Fiona, no matter how stunning, would eventually face the same fate.However, Audriana had come to realize that some people could indeed look like fairies. Yet, she couldn't show her envy, as Priscilla was still watching her."Why do I think she looks so average? She's not nearly as ladylike as you, Priscilla," Audriana flattered her.Priscilla merely gave her a passing glance. "You don't have to try to flatter me. I don't care about that. With plastic surgery so common these days, I can have any appearance I want."What's important is for a woman to have her own career. But I have to admit, her face is quite stunning."Otherwise, Fiona wouldn't have remained relevant for so many years. But it didn't matter now. Fiona was already married, with so many children. Once a woman became a

    "Who doesn't have a career in this day and age? She's the only one with no achievements to speak of, and she even went crazy. How does she have the nerve to reconcile with the Grisham family? I don't know whether to call her naïve or just plain dumb," Priscilla remarked, her voice dripping with disdain as she spoke to the person behind her. As she spoke, the woman slowly rose, revealing her identity—none other than Audriana."Perhaps she doesn't realize that the Draycott family is almost as influential as the Grisham family in Ludwiten. Especially you, Priscilla. Everyone knows the medispa you operate. "Fiona hasn't kept up with the times. I once thought she was capable, with her title as Ludwiten's Red Rose. But now, it seems she's all show, no substance." Audriana chuckled, clearly taking pleasure in belittling Fiona while subtly praising Priscilla. Priscilla, clearly pleased, took a sip of her coffee. "It's a shame she didn't listen to me and meet Ms. Kent."Audriana raised

    Priscilla twirled her long hair and took a sip of her coffee. "I didn't have much confidence back then. I always followed you, never daring to try things on my own. It's only now, after trying for myself, that I've realized some things."She added, "Opening a medispa has always been my dream, and that's how it all started. Now, all the wealthy women in Ludwiten come to me for fillers and anti-aging treatments. If you're interested, you should come by. I can even fix your nose a little."Priscilla smiled. However, her smile was a little off, perhaps from a recent treatment. She pressed her fingers to her eyes. "I can't smile too much, or I'll get wrinkles. I envy your flawless, youthful face, Fiona. What's your secret?""Probably just staying indoors and avoiding the sun," Fiona replied, carefully omitting the fact that her soul had entered a manifestation.Priscilla's expression darkened, her voice tinged with frustration. "It's all Owen's fault! How could he be so cruel? You're no

    Leon typed so quickly that Aria suspected it was a result of his experience arguing with his online haters. Aria couldn't get a word in as Leon flooded the entire group chat. She was speechless—his typing was even faster than a hacker like her. Celebrity Carver: "I'm worried about Aria. I should have gone on the train too!"Aria freed one hand to reply, "No need to worry. Fergus is with me."Celebrity Carver: "Fergus has never been in a relationship himself. What does he know?"Boss Carver: "Leon, aren't you getting too full of yourself lately?"Leon kept his head down, continuing to type. He was filled with worry for Aria.Unbeknownst to anyone, a mysterious person watched Leon with intense focus. The gaze was unsettling as if the person were ready to explode with hatred at any moment.The person only looked away when Leon entered the VIP lounge. Then, they went to the washroom, and standing before the mirror, revealed an eerie smile. There was no rush. After all, there wo

    Their positions were reversed in an instant.Landon was pinned down, a few stray strands of hair falling over his face. His long, dark eyelashes gave him a somewhat coy expression. Aria, on the other hand, appeared dominant, with one hand pressing down on his wrist and the other on his shoulder. This was the scene the attendant walked in on. She cleared her throat slightly before speaking, "Sir, here are your fruits."The attendant's voice caught the attention of Fergus, who was seated in the last row. He put down his tablet and glanced over. What he saw was Aria playfully pressing down on Landon's wrist. Fergus couldn't help but rub his temples, unsure how to express his current feelings.When Leon mentioned that Aria was pursuing Landon, Fergus hadn't thought much of it. However, seeing for himself, he could only think of ways to keep Landon around for Aria.But Aria couldn't be too forward as they weren't married yet. At the thought of that, Fergus deliberately coughed.

    It was the first time Aria had ever felt this way. The sensation made her dizzy, yet she couldn't get enough of it. Every inch of her mouth was filled with Landon's scent, and his fingers felt astonishingly hot. The sounds around them faded, leaving only the rumble of the train as it passed through the tunnel. There was an undeniable closeness between them. His soft kisses and teasing bites on her lips made her feel a little lightheaded. With her eyes covered, Aria instinctively sought something to steady herself. The rhythmic thump of his heartbeat echoed in her ears, its force making escape seem impossible. His kiss, commanding and intense, contrasted sharply with his calm demeanor. It seemed as though he was determined to pull her deeper into his embrace. Yet, despite the overwhelming sensation, Aria couldn't bring herself to resent it. Instead, she found herself surrendering to it. The sounds around them slowly returned as they emerged from the long tunnel, light creepi

    Landon raised his hand and spoke calmly before ending the call. "Go and tell your boss that only Farshyans can manage the Chamber of Commerce."When Westin tried calling back, no one answered. For years, foreigners had enjoyed preferential treatment in Farshya. As Westin mentioned, some universities favored foreign students, offering them special care. Foreigners received priority access to events, complimentary ice cream, and exclusive show tickets at car exhibitions. Many Farshyans were thrilled just to exchange a few words with them.Westin's best friend even had a Farshyan girlfriend who was utterly devoted to him. She tolerated their insults with a smile as long as he promised to take her abroad and secure her permanent residency.This sense of entitlement made foreigners like Westin feel superior to the locals. Westin, in particular, had been flattered by Farshyan businessmen for so long that he'd never experienced such outright rejection.Other suppliers and port officia

    Despite the shifting tides, some stubborn members of the Chamber of Commerce clung to their cunning ways, refusing to yield.Previously, Westin had assumed that his target, known for being money-obsessed, would agree without much resistance. But upon arriving, he found himself drinking far more than discussing business.Two days and a relentless hangover later, Westin realized he'd been played. That wily old man! Refocusing his attention on the task at hand, Westin addressed the screen with renewed determination. "Mr. York, it's not just Ludwiten's companies interested in partnering with us. Even the Wagner family from Janovin is eager to collaborate. "If there's something holding you back, let me know. But remember, opportunities don't wait. I urge you to reconsider—going solo carries significant risks."As Westin spoke, Landon listened calmly, his expression unchanging. He even shifted slightly to make Aria more comfortable in her seat. Nearby, an attendant whispered with a

    Aria lay on her side, with Landon seated on her right. She wondered if the York family would grow uneasy about his prolonged absence from home. Landon was clearly in the middle of a meeting. His deep, pleasant voice carried a hypnotic quality, occasionally interspersed with authentic Nobeetan phrases. He spoke so softly that those further away would struggle to hear him, yet his tone was laced with an understated menace that no one could ignore.The person on the other end of the meeting dared not contradict him. Landon's calm demeanor masked a chilling authority. He wasn't the kind of superior who exploded with anger—those were predictable. The truly terrifying ones were those whose moods were inscrutable and whose actions were ruthlessly decisive."We won't pursue a joint venture then. The York Group will proceed independently." Landon chuckled before continuing politely, "Let me remind you, this is Farshya—not the early days when we were inexperienced and desperate for capital.
