Fiona wondered if she was dreaming. After all, she often had dreams like this. Aria would show up as a grown-up in all her dreams. She would assure Fiona she was doing well and tell her not to worry.But no mother wouldn't worry about their child. Fiona couldn't bear the thought of Aria disappearing again.Despite her wish, Fiona's dreams about Aria had become less frequent.Now, however, Fiona knew this wasn't a dream. Aria wouldn't talk like this in her dreams. The young lady who had saved her from the streets turned out to be her daughter! Fiona could barely believe it."You're not a jinx," Fiona said, her voice thick with emotion. "You're a gift from heaven. When you were born, all the nurses remarked on how chubby and happy you were. It's my fault for not protecting you well."Tears streamed down Fiona's face as she clenched her fists. "It's not your fault I'm sick. I'm just weak. Rainbow, honey. Why didn't I go and search for you? Why? I remember…" Fiona's thoughts were
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 386 Who Is Supporting You
Warren's words sent shivers down the managers' spines, especially those who had been disloyal. They kept their heads bowed, fearing Warren's gaze."Mr. Carver Senior, please don't worry. We'll cooperate fully with Ms. Rainbow!"Warren corrected the manager directly. "Call her Ms. Aria. My granddaughter's name is Aria Carver.""Grandpa." Aria only wanted Warren to know what happened, not to take over the company as its CEO. Warren's tone was doting. "You don't need to feel uneasy there. It's our hotel. You can do whatever you want. Rainbow, remember that we're the ones who owe you. Now that you're back, feel free to do whatever you want. I'll support you as long as I live."Warren's declaration had the managers rethinking their allegiances. They began to see Owen in a new light.Owen, filled with regret as he looked at his wife and daughter, realized the gravity of the situation. He wondered what he could do to mend things.Suddenly, the idea of seeking help from his sons crosse
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 387 Not Your Sister
Mindy stiffened, panic etched on her face. "Aria, you've misunderstood. I would never prevent you from coming back. You're my sister—""Sister?" Aria grinned. "You can call Mr. Carver your father as long as he agrees. However, didn't you say we had a conflict before? Why are you calling me your sister now?"The Carver family hadn't officially adopted you if I remember correctly, so you're not my sister. Let's talk about something else."Aria grabbed Dorothy with one hand. "How many of your dirty errands has this old hag done for you?""I didn't!" Mindy cried, tears staining her face. "I don't know what you're talking about."Owen also spoke up. "Rainbow, don't be so harsh on Mindy. Let me explain—""One claims to be my father, while the other declares herself my sister." Aria tossed Dorothy unceremoniously at Mindy's feet. "Let me remind you both, I have little tolerance. Don't try to flatter me."Aria's air of authority was so strong that even Owen hesitated before speaking, es
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 388 Dorothy Harmed Fiona
There was no denying Dorothy's eloquence. In a flash, she managed to brand Aria as unreasonable and undeserving of her status.Fiona, once a prominent socialite, understood the future implications of such labels on her daughter. Public speaking had become a distant memory for Fiona, who feared uttering the wrong word.Today, however, Fiona decided to take a stand. "How can you expect Aria to be polite to someone who labels her unreasonable and rude? I haven't been involved in family matters for a long time."Apparently, being polite to a household staff is now a requirement to earn a title in this household? The Carver family is your employer, Dorothy. If you're unhappy, you are free to leave."Dorothy stiffened. "Mrs. Carver, I—"Fiona didn't even bother looking at her. Instead, she looked toward Mindy. "Dorothy has been serving you all this time. I'm sure she's only acting like this because you permitted it. Look at her. Do you think we're blind to your intentions?""Mom, I don
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 389 Dorothy Is Guilty
Aria flung the pillow at Dorothy. "You're responsible for my mother's basic needs. The Carvers trusted you completely."You said you know nothing about the effects, so why is there lemon and mint inside my mom's pillow? It's clear you knew exactly what you were doing."The evidence was irrefutable, presented swiftly. Aria's words stung like a slap.Panic seized Dorothy when Aria yanked away the scented sachet. She hadn't anticipated anyone discovering the pillow.Dorothy's legs felt weak, and her eyes darted around nervously."Will you confess your accomplice now, or at the police station?" Aria pressed.Dorothy bit her lip, refusing to say the truth. "I'm loyal to the Carver family!""You've chosen to go to jail, then." Aria looked away, then suddenly smiled. "Honestly, it doesn't matter if you speak up or not. Your precious Ms. Carver will still be held responsible."Mindy felt suffocated under the weight of scrutiny. All Mindy could do was grab the hem of Owen's clothes and
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 390 Aria Deals With Conrad
Meanwhile, the crowd was still gathered in the hotel lobby.Not everyone was oblivious. Those who witnessed the scene understood what transpired. Some men even felt a pang of shame watching Owen leave so abruptly. How could he abandon his daughter and wife to defend a mere sponsee?In the past, Owen could still be described as kind-hearted, easygoing, and someone who wouldn't judge others based on their social standing. He had, after all, treated his sponsee just like his own.However, after Aria's return, Owen's priorities became muddled, leading to this unfortunate situation.The more capable managers swiftly made their decisions, choosing to stay. They wanted to observe Aria's handling of the aftermath, to see if Warren's chosen successor truly possessed the necessary qualities.After all, being decisive wasn't the only crucial aspect of running a business; astuteness was equally important.Could Aria, a young woman from a small town, truly rise to the challenge?It wasn't th
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 391 Underestimated Aria
"Give me a list of people who got into the company through nepotism," Aria said coolly. "If I'm satisfied with it, you can avoid jail time." Conrad's mind went blank. "Jail?""Your aunt committed a crime for personal gain, and you secured this job through her influence," Aria explained, twirling her amethyst pendant gracefully. "You can't be entirely innocent of her actions." Conrad shrank back, his face draining of color. He wasn't stupid. If the Carver family really were to investigate what Dorothy did, there was no way he could escape unscathed. "Ms. Carver, I'll tell you everything!" he blurted out. "I know all of them, and I can identify them right now!"Aria averted her gaze from him and scanned the crowd impassively. "There's no urgency. Today's my first day managing this hotel, so I'm granting everyone a chance to redeem themselves."If you fail to do so, you'll face the same consequences as Conrad here. The Carver Group has a history of generosity toward long-term emp
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 392 Aria Reorganizes the Hotel
A tense atmosphere gripped the senior staff of the hotel. They felt like they were dangling by a thread, unsure of their fate.Aria's arrival worried them. They knew they could always band together and complain to Warren or even expose some of the hotel's negative aspects if she decided to fire them immediately.However, Aria's decision to give them a chance to redeem themselves threw them into a conundrum. They were unsure whether to stay and try to make amends or leave and find new employment, and this uncertainty gnawed at them.Aria had anticipated this reaction. Upon entering the hotel, she recognized the depth of the problems and knew a one-day fix was impossible. Her immediate priority was Fiona's safety.Aria sought information, but Dorothy remained tight-lipped. Even as the police escorted Dorothy away, she glared at Aria and spat, "Your won't last long in Janovin. Mr. and Mrs. Carver will see through your charade, and Janovin's socialites will never accept you.""Is that

With Landon monitoring the stock market, Aria could walk right into Orion's trap. This way, Orion would let his guard down. When people felt confident, they invested more. Aria, well-versed in the stock market, understood this all too well. She had never intended to get rid of Lily. However, things were different this time. There was a limit to how much one could withstand another's viciousness. Aria doubted Lily could predict the market flawlessly—it was impossible, just as it was impossible for her to know everything.The logic was simple. If something fell outside one's area of expertise, even the most attentive observer would only grasp the outcome, not the details. Thinking it over, Aria realized Lily only knew about major events. The smaller ones seemed to escape her notice.If she put herself in Lily's shoes, it was like remembering which lottery would have a winner but not the exact numbers drawn.After all, no one knew when they would be reborn. The only way to acce
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1395 Working Together
Malcolm did not know why Aria was asking, but he remembered the details clearly. "It was after that day." Aria tapped on the desk. "No wonder the Draycotts suddenly changed their market strategy. I get it now." What was she talking about? Before Malcolm could ask, Aria continued, "Some people are trying to cheat the system. Keep an eye on things, but stay safe. If anything happens, come to me first. "Like you said, they've got deep connections. Don't bother with the police—just keep the evidence." "Got it." Before hanging up, Malcolm asked, "Should we still watch the stock market?" Aria smirked. "Yes. They're not the only ones who can play dirty." Lily had probably been reborn too. But whatever Lily knew, Aria knew as well. She had never thought to use that knowledge this way before since it hadn't seemed necessary, but things were not the same now. If her dreams were real, then in her past life, Lily had only made it to Janovin. She had played the star medical student at
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1394 Not Knowing Each Other Well
After being together all this time, Aria suddenly had a thought. Were she and Landon too distant from each other? No, "distant" was not quite the right word. It was more like they did not know each other well enough. Landon always felt just out of reach, like there was a fog between them. Simply put, he was not being straight with her. The thought left her feeling uneasy. Before she could say anything, her phone rang. It must be news about the Draycotts. It had to be something big for them to call so urgently. Aria glanced at the pair. Landon smiled. "If you have questions, Jett, feel free to talk with my manager, Ms. Virelle." Manager? Seraphina caught on quickly. "Mr. Grisham, shall we step outside?" Jett was still trying to process everything. "Wait." Balancing business and personal matters as usual, Aria held her phone up and said, "I heard Ms. Virelle used to work at the Draycotts' club. Let's have a chat later." Seraphina froze, glancing at Landon. Seeing his bl
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1393 Being Clever
Seraphina could not let her mind go there. Maybe she should've stayed in Netherrealm for a few more years. It was not so bad down there anyway. Landon barely spared her a glance, keeping his eyes on Jett with polite interest. "Won't you sit, Jett?"Sit? Jett could barely remember why he had come in the first place. Landon's voice snapped him back. "I... Mr. York, excuse me for asking, but what's your relationship with Ms. Virelle?""She works for me." Landon glanced at Seraphina. "Ms. Virelle? That's a new title."Jett stumbled over his words. "She works for you?""Yes," Landon said casually, like it was the most obvious thing. "Isn't it obvious?"Jett could not imagine the Yorks being in that kind of business. From Jett's expression alone, Landon could guess what kind of mess his people had made in Ludwiten. Since he had been dragged into it now, he figured he owed the Grishams an explanation. "I planted her in the Draycott family. The Yorks need a foothold in Ludwiten."So
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1392 Losing Her Mind
Getting out of there wasn't going to be easy. Aria did not waste any time. She moved fast behind the suite divider, her laugh carrying a different note than usual. "What a shame."Landon's hand paused as he fixed her hair, his voice as smooth as ever. "I could have them leave.""Bad timing. My cousin's out there." Aria glanced at him, taking in that perfect collarbone of his. No wonder they used to call him the untouchable one, with all those socialites dying for just a smile.She had never given much thought to that kind of thing before. All those times working with patients, she had kept things strictly professional. But things felt different now, and she couldn't quite put her finger on why. Her gorgeous fiancé had a way of making her lose her head.Landon pulled his hand back while looking down. "We should meet with your cousin. I hear the Grishams like to evaluate their in-laws.""Huh?" That had not crossed her mind. He did not seem like someone who would care about app
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1391 Raw Desire
Aria felt something wild coming off him. It was not hatred, but something close. She was too caught up to figure out what it was. She had never felt anything like this before; it was like she was floating. Her eyes were open, but she could not focus. Even his breathing felt like an invasion, starting at her ear and spreading through her whole body. When his fingers pressed into her waist, instinct made her try to push him away. That was a bad move—it only made things more intense. He lit her up like a match, heat spreading from her neck downward till she had to tilt her head back just to breathe. It reminded her of that hazy dream, the one in which she had been caught between sleep and waking, her pulse racing and her skin on fire. But it did not feel exactly the same because what she was feeling now was real. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught glimpses of the river through the massive windows. The view was blurry, but it was enough to remind her where she was. Unable t
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1390 Renewal F*e
Landon's warm lips brushed against Aria's. The touch was light as a feather yet utterly captivating. His kiss was so delicate it seemed to awaken every memory stored in her body. In that moment, Aria could swear she caught that same sandalwood scent from her dreams. Black mist and countless indiscernible inscriptions appeared, but he paid them no mind, gripping her waist as he whispered low in her ear. When he kissed her wrist without looking away from her face, his presence was impossible to ignore. His black leather gloves lay discarded to the side. To Aria, every place his hands touched felt like it was on fire. The sensation intensified when his fingertips traced the black mark on her neck. Something inside her screamed to take control, which made her grab his hand. He seemed to smile with his lips by her ear. "So, are you ready to pay the renewal fee?" Aria had never thought anyone could enchant her like this. But this was different. It felt just like seeing a fallen g
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1389 A Moment of Intimacy
Landon asked, "You're getting water?" As his gaze drifted down to where Aria's hair fell, his voice turned rich and low. "Then why are your ears turning red?" Aria's hand froze mid-air. "It's hot in here." "What?" He raised an eyebrow. "It's only 70°F here." Aria wanted to tell him to stop talking so much. It was all because of what he had done in her dreams, making her imagination run wild now. Did he think having a handsome face meant he could do whatever he wanted? He even used all that binding stuff on her too. But she couldn't be sure it was even him. And even if it was, it must have been from a past life. As an arcane seeker, Aria knew what recurring dreams usually meant. But she had pushed those thoughts aside. A past life should not dictate their relationship in this one. At the very least, he wouldn't try anything like putting her in chains and locking her up now. That would be illegal. She would have him arrested and be done with it. Besides, her handsome fi
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1388 Her Dreams
The atmosphere inside the room was totally different from the outside.Aria did sense the strange aura around Seraphina just now. Her beauty was otherworldly, almost supernatural. And there was something familiar about her presence—Aria felt she had encountered it before but couldn't remember where. Given how quickly Seraphina had withdrawn her hostility and turned gentle, Aria saw no point in making an issue of it. Besides, the way Landon was massaging her neck felt too good, making her mind feel hazy. As her blood flow slowed, she started to feel drowsy. The trio hiding in the copper coin did not dare show themselves; they were probably not even there. They had been especially quiet since arriving in Ludwiten, as if something here affected them. This was one of the things Aria wanted to investigate. The Wagners had used some unknown method to hide themselves after reaching Ludwiten. Even the Special Missions Unit failed to track them. All they had was that initial contact
