The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 301 You're the One Who Should Leave
Christian had been there when Lucas was formally appointed Secretary-General, so he knew who Lucas was. "Good afternoon, sir," he said, surprised. Lucas pushed down his anger and looked at Christian. "And you are?""I'm Christian Short from the Short family in Southbury. We specialize in medicine." Christian tried to ingratiate himself with Lucas. "My father and I met you once."Jude Reilly, who was with Lucas, tried to ease the tension. "Mr. Murray, the Short family was instrumental in helping us find the kids–""Do you know them?" Lucas cut him off. Jude paused for a moment before saying, "Yes. The Short family business is one of the most conscientious enterprises in Southbury. You might not know this yet, but they have access to some of the most advanced medical technology in the country.""Oh?" Lucas' face didn't belie any expression. "Is this the same Short family that enjoyed a close relationship with the Gunthers?"Jude's face paled instantly, and everyone else looked q
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 302 Don't Pay It Any Attention
Jude, the head of Southbury's medical industry, directed the Short family to sit in the back. "Sit in the back?" Christian questioned. "But I have to go onstage to receive an award later."Lucas' gaze turned steely as he looked at Jude. "It was so nice of you to arrange that."Jude's face paled. No longer trying to maintain his image, he yanked on Christian's shirt. "You're going onstage for this award, you say? And who do you think you are? That award belongs to Dr. Carver!"Christian was stunned. Understanding the danger of speaking up, Norman stayed silent with a forced smile.The Short family moved from their front-row seats to a corner at the back. As Christian was driven out of the hall in front of everyone, he looked at Jude. "Didn't you arrange for me to go onstage, Mr. Reilly?""Don't call me that!" Jude snapped, flinging Christian's hand away when he saw no one was around.Christian lunged forward, but guards firmly blocked his path.Jude was disgusted by Christian's
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 303 Lily's Clairvoyance
Without the Layne family's backing, Lucas had struggled to make any headway in Southbury, let alone govern it. Lily felt somewhat gleeful. At times, she had no idea if Aria could be considered lucky. While Aria had built connections, they were with people destined for downfall."Don't worry, Christian," Lily said confidently, "Your family has built a solid reputation over decades. You don't need to curry favor with a short-sighted politician."Her words gave Christian a shock, and he quickly covered his phone. "You're bold, Lily.""That's nothing. You should know that I've ascended the higher rungs of the social ladder here in Janovin, Christian. Even if politicians have risen up the ladder, they can just as easily fall." Lily laughed. "The Short and Layne families will come together eventually. There's no point in chasing fleeting connections."Christian thought she had a point. He finally regained some of his composure after the embarrassment in the hall. "I didn't expect you t
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 304 Warning Aria
A portable mic was attached to Rainie's shirt collar so everyone heard what she said. Everyone was touched by her words, especially those parents whose children had been kidnapped.Aria wasn't quite used to receiving such nice words, so she turned to the side and patted Rainie on the shoulder, saying softly, "Hang in there. If you ever need anything in the future, just call me."Only those parents who had desperately searched for their children understood the true significance of identifying the culprits in this case. Although Aria didn't show her face, the sight of her and Rainie standing together onstage filled the people's hearts with hope. There were still some children yet to be found, but the crowd here believed that every one of them would be reunited with their families eventually.The authorities were cracking down hard on human traffickers, and no one dared to protect them at such a critical moment. Everyone was pleased with the severe punishment Uludon had received.
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 305 Regretting the Annulment
Aria smiled as she watched Seth walk down the stage. Her mind buzzed with suspicion—someone high up must be behind the Uludon kidnappings. Birth certificates and DNA reports were very difficult to legitimize without the overseeing efforts of the relevant authorities.However, everything seemed perfectly normal under investigation, and this was why many people found it extremely difficult to search for their children and verify the relevant information.When the HOU tried to investigate who among the higher-ups would be behind this, they failed to uncover anything. So Seth was from the Layne family in Janovin, huh? Did he just basically serve his family to her on a silver platter?Aria's gaze darkened as she held her trophy in her hands. To Seth, she was nothing but an ordinary citizen with the audacity to disrespect him. The Layne family had been among the most powerful in Janovin for too long. They could dictate how an ordinary citizen's life would go with just a single order
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 306 The Short Family Humiliated Themselves
With every word Aria uttered, Norman's face grew thunderous. Though she never directly mentioned his family, everyone understood the target of her scathing remarks.Norman felt suffocated under the weight of their collective scrutiny. He had underestimated Aria's eloquence. In just a few sentences, she had brought the Short family to a profound humiliation.Given her feelings for Christian, Norman had assumed Aria would be easily manipulated. According to Christian's account, Aria had harbored resentment since their annulment and had been relentlessly pursuing him. Besides, Christian also mentioned that what had happened in the manor back then was nothing but an act. Hence, Norman had attempted to flaunt his family's closeness to Kenneth's student. But Aria's ruthlessness caught him off guard.Aria coolly said, "Mr. Short, your son made it clear he wanted me ousted from the hall. Yet you were there, dismissing it all as a misunderstanding. Does this overconfidence run in your fami
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 307 Aria's Going Back to Janovin
The Short family found those words insulting, but they dared not retort. They had no choice but to leave with their tails between their legs.The Short family had employed many underhanded methods to ensure that Christian and Aria's engagement was broken off. They meticulously chose Lily as Christian's fiancée, believing a well-educated daughter from a wealthy family like her could match Christian. They'd made that pact with the Kents years ago to accumulate more power, and since Aria couldn't contribute to that, they called off the engagement. However, no one anticipated Aria becoming Kenneth's student.The news left a bitter taste in the Shorts' mouths. They tried so hard to hide their regret that they looked like they'd swallowed a lemon.Oblivious, Christian approached his uncles, Darren and Herbert. "Why do all of you look like you've eaten something sour?""It's all thanks to you! And yet you have the nerve to ask this question!" Darren Short, Norman's eldest brother, gritt
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 308 More Schemes in Janovin
"Lucas, please order a roasted pork knuckle for us."Kenneth was the only person who could give Lucas such an order. Everyone feared Kenneth—this was not just a rumor.Even now, Lucas would be wound up whenever he met Kenneth, and he dared not act out of line. Aria, on the other hand, spoke to Kenneth naturally, as if he was family. "The pork knuckle is too greasy. You have high blood pressure, so you should order another dish in place of this.""We'll listen to Aria—change it to another dish." Kenneth had Aria sit down beside him. His gaze was filled with relief and worry. "You accomplished a great feat during your visit to Perry Town."Aria poured a cup of tea for Kenneth. "It was merely a coincidence. I was looking into my background at that time.""That wasn't a coincidence. Lucas here told me everything. You had someone pass a note to him before you left." Kenneth pointed at Lucas. "He's fortunate to have you, a fellow student of mine, who's more than meets the eye. "You ta
