Chapter 439 Get Close to Leon

Author: Night Eleven
Xavier elaborated, "Aria needs to become a peacemaker to convince the Layne family to let her off the hook. Eventually, the Carver family will tire of being indebted to her. When that happens, she'll be in a difficult position!"

The scholars found merit in Xavier's argument.

A scholar remarked, "Well, we need to regard her highly now. After all, she should be quite skillful to be able to save Mr. Carver Senior."

Xavier disagreed. "It's just luck."

Compared to Aria, Xavier was more concerned about getting his hand on the "Needle's Codex" in Lily's possession.

Acquiring the book would solidify his position. After all, he witnessed Lily's inexperience during the needle insertion.

However, the chances of Xavier acquiring the "Needle's Codex" seemed slim. Perhaps the Layne family had already secured it.

Lost in thought, Xavier furrowed his brows.

Meanwhile, Lily's face was ashen as she hurried back to the university.

She had tried calling Dominic multiple times, but he didn't pi

    "Even so, it's best to avoid mentioning her and that man," Lily replied. "Public opinion is what truly matters.""I know that. I'm just saying this because it's a phone call between us," Evelyn sighed. "Her company issued a PR statement to warn people not to defame her, but the rumors online are relentless."Some media outlets are still waiting outside the hospital, eager to know if she was pregnant since she was hospitalized for so long. Even worse is that my friend's image has always been innocent and pure. She needs something to clear her tarnished name," Evelyn said, standing up straight.Evelyn quickly added, "If you can solve this, I'll reward you handsomely!"Lily, though moved, remained modest. "There's no need for a reward. I'm just helping you because of how stressed you are over it lately.""Lily, you're truly my best friend." Evelyn blew kisses at the screen. "Honestly, do you have a gift for fortune-telling? Everything you predict always comes true."Lily replied cry

    Samuel's anger flared upon hearing it was another young woman. "Another one?"Fury flared in Samuel's eyes as he gripped his cane. "I don't care how you do it, Dominic, but get someone working on the birth certificates. We need those doctors too. They're the ones most familiar with hospital procedures."Samuel glanced at Dominic. "The customer's been asking for new stock recently. Hurry up and handle it. Your brother will be back soon, and we can't be caught unprepared."Dominic nodded. "Okay. Dad, how is Moses doing?""No change," Samuel replied, his eyes glinting dangerously. "I have someone investigating this young lady with Will. When we find her, she'll pay!"Dominic was puzzled. "Didn't they say she was Will's niece?""We need to clarify that with the Wagners," Samuel said through gritted teeth. "Philip's vanished, and Kenny insists he heard she was Will's niece. But Will was raised in Janovin. How could he have relatives in Southbury?"Samuel tossed an envelope to Dominic

    Confidence surged through Samuel. He was certain the Carvers wouldn't reject him.Dominic immediately handed Samuel his phone.Aria needed to be eliminated as soon as possible. It was the right move for them to test Warren's intentions. Even if Warren supported Aria now, he might not do so in the future.However, as Samuel held the phone, a change of heart struck him. "Wait. We need to confirm if that brat can truly predict the future or if she is just bluffing. Giving the Carvers such an edge for free is unwise."Dominic grasped Samuel's intent. "You're saying that we shouldn't discuss the car accident?"Samuel leaned on his cane and said, "Nobody knew about the details of the car accident except for the Wagner and Furler families. This is especially the case with the young woman's prediction about Philip, which only he alone knew. Even Kenny believed that she was just spouting nonsense.""But what if she's not?" Samuel's eyes gleamed with excitement. "If we can exploit her accu

    It was evening, and the Layne family had yet to reach out to the Carver family.Warren was starting to get angry. "Perhaps I've been too kind these few years. That's why the Laynes are disregarding me.""Perhaps the Laynes aren't aware of Ms. Carver's true identity. But why would they be supporting an unknown doctor?" Keith questioned.Warren fell into deep thought after hearing Keith's words.Just then, Aria entered the room after seeing Abraham off. "Grandpa, what are you discussing with Mr. Watson?""The Laynes' recent actions are unsettling," Warren looked at Aria. "Rainbow, you're new to Janovin, so you might not be familiar with them."I know Samuel well. He appears scholarly, but he's quite cunning and has connections in high places. I've always maintained a distance from him—something about him makes me uneasy."Warren leaned on his cane, a decision forming. "It's time for your brothers to return. We should also formally announce your identity to the other families.""Y

    Warren paused after hearing that. Then, he asked rather seriously, "Rainbow, tell me honestly. Did you only learn a bit about fortune-telling?""Not really." Aria was hesitant to answer. "Well, I'm an idealist, so I wasn't the most attentive student when Mr. Revelare taught me. But I'm definitely a step above the frauds in the market."Warren, a man of logic, had never entertained the idea of fortune-telling. He countered with a name. "But how do you stack up against Mr. Windsor from Panne Street?""I'm better than him." Aria peeled an orange and gave half of it to Warren. "I'm quite familiar with some of his techniques. Don't go to him, Grandpa. If you really want to get your fortune told, the man who visited our hotel is good."A flicker of surprise crossed Warren's face. "Mr. Homer Bond?"Aria nodded, sipping her coffee with an elegance that captivated him. "The very same. He's incredibly knowledgeable. If you'd like, I could arrange a visit."Warren chuckled.

    Aria couldn't shake a feeling of unease. Though the crisis seemed over with Dorothy under investigation by the Special Missions Unit, something felt amiss.Warren's safety remained a top priority. With a mole lurking internally, vigilance was key.Zayn's head snapped up at her words. "Miss, you mean…""I haven't said a word," Aria replied, her gaze flickering to the black-clad bodyguards nearby. "You've been with Grandpa the longest. Honestly, I investigated you before."Zayn stiffened.Aria's voice dropped to a low murmur. "News always leaks whenever Grandpa wants to see me. There's a disloyal element in his inner circle.""Yes. Mr. Carver Senior is also looking into this," Zayn replied.Aria's eyes darkened. "Grandpa's sentimentality might blind him to those who've endured hardships with him. Zayn, your mission is simple. Protect Grandpa."A shiver ran down Zayn's spine. He understood the weight of her words. "Don't worry, miss. I won't fail.""You're the only one privy to t

    There was a bakery near the company. Aria lugged a hefty bag of bread while observing the beggar. "Go on. Eat.""I-I can't eat anymore! Hic!" The beggar leaned against the wall, his mouth stuffed with bread that made him hiccup. He wasn't sure what Aria had put in it.On top of that, he couldn't stop laughing. "Hahaha! I'll tell you everything! I… Hic!""I don't feel like listening anymore." Aria handed him another piece of bread. "You should eat. It's not healthy to starve."The beggar felt like he might explode. "I… Hic! I was wrong! Y-Young lady, I…"Finally, Aria reached out and removed the needles from his body.The beggar slumped into the corner, gasping for air and sweating profusely.Aria's voice was indifferent. "I'm not a patient person, so don't beat around the bush. Speak.""I swear, I have no clue who gave me the box! I was lying down at the time and didn't see who it was. The person just told me to deliver it to Carver Group and offered me a thousand dollars." The

    "The thousand dollars is just a deposit," Aria said, her eyes piercing and dark as a demon's. "You'll get the rest once you spread the word. You didn't think I'd believe everything you said, right? Rhabdomancy isn't widely understood.""I…I…" the beggar stammered, beads of sweat erupting on his forehead.This wasn't going according to plan. He'd figured even a sharp woman like her wouldn't see through his entire scheme. But here she was, right on the money.Aria raised an eyebrow, the mole beneath her eye a striking counterpoint to her composed expression. "I'll give you one last chance. Who put you up to this with the wooden box?""I don't know. The person wore a black coat and looked scary. Although the person used a voice changer, I could tell she was a woman. That's right.

    Orion didn't understand martial arts or what the staff were thinking, but he knew one thing for certain—this ignorant young woman was doomed. The Royal Hotel had upheld the same rules for years. The first floor was reserved for auctions, the second floor was strictly off-limits, and anyone who caused a disturbance would be thrown out. Only a select few were ever allowed onto the second floor. Rumors claimed that Barron had once watched a performance from an elevated seat alongside a young man—allegedly the true owner of the Royal Hotel. But no one could confirm this, and Orion found it hard to believe that a young man could have built such a powerful establishment. If he truly existed, where was his heir? Why were there no records of him? Orion's gaze darkened as he glared at Aria. He was determined to prevent the Carver family from making a comeback—no matter what it took. If he couldn't stop Aria himself, he would let the Royal Hotel handle it. After all, she had not onl

    Aria had grown into a woman far more beautiful and confident than anyone had expected. She was exactly the kind of person who would infuriate Orion by flaunting her sports cars. Yet, Waymond was more intrigued by something else—why had Clyde called her Dr. Genius?At that moment, realization dawned on Clyde as well. His lips trembled slightly as he glanced at Aria. Thinking back to the medical advice she had given at the Grisham residence, he finally understood the reasoning behind it. He wasn't sure whether to be impressed by her intelligence or wary of her cunning. But no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't bring himself to be angry. His gaze darkened. Aria was just as likable as she had been when she was still a baby. He wanted to step forward, to take a closer look at her. But the weight of their long-standing conflict and the misunderstanding from the yesteryears held him back. Aria, however, had always been adored by the elderly. If she could understand the stubborn

    Everyone's first thought was the same—who was she, and why was she up there? Did she even have the right to sit in that seat?The moment Aria appeared, the performers on stage stopped playing. Even the waiters pouring coffee paused, their hands halting mid-motion as an odd expression crossed their faces. They were all equipped with Bluetooth earpieces. When they saw Aria, they exchanged glances, silently wondering whether they should intervene. Just then, Lily spoke first. "My dear sister, do you know where you are? You can't just sit there. Come down now."Sister? The person was Lily's sister?Some were bewildered, while others immediately recognized Aria. But how could Aria be Lily's sister? She was the daughter of the Carver family! Nobody dared to voice their thoughts, yet the question lingered—did the Grisham family not recognize Aria? For years, the Grishams had deliberately avoided mentioning the Carver family. However, a few of Aria's aunts had secretly seen her

    Aria wondered if it had something to do with her past life or Barron. But since she couldn't figure it out, she decided to move forward. She tucked the ring away and stepped into the central room. Meanwhile, guests had slowly filled the theater. On stage, a performer sang under the glow of the spotlight. According to Orion's calculations, there was no way Aria would make it to the meeting on time. This session of the Chamber of Commerce had drawn a noticeably larger crowd of foreign investors. They sat watching the performance with evident excitement. Seated to the left of the stage, Clyde observed the attendees' expressions. A wave of frustration washed over him. The Chamber of Commerce had become nothing more than a tool to curry favor with outsiders. He raised his hand as if to take action, but then he let it fall, resignation settling in. The divide between the Grisham and Draycott families was clear. The families aligned with the Grishams were tied to fading industri

    A young woman in a gown fanned herself, momentarily stunned by her boss' reaction. She raised an eyebrow. "Boss, what happened? Did you get killed again? Or did someone steal your treasure?"She had worked with him for years, yet this was the first time she had ever seen him so unsettled. He was always indifferent—unbothered by the Chamber of Commerce holding a meeting in their hotel. To him, the game he was playing was far more exciting than watching political maneuvering. No one would expect the owner of the Royal Hotel to have such a childish hobby, but she had long figured that he was simply too lazy to engage with people. Any prestigious family in Ludwiten would seize the chance to establish a connection with him, yet none dared to approach. His presence alone was enough to intimidate. He exuded an effortless allure, dressed in an immaculate suit with a sleek watch on his wrist. His dark hair framed a gaze that seemed to pull people in. And yet, she couldn't shake the

    The deeper one ventured into the Royal Hotel, the more they realized its vastness.The hotel had three floors, its decor untouched by time, preserving the elegance of the war period. Rather than modern designs, it retained a vintage charm—even the waitresses dressed in traditional gowns, adding to its old-world allure. Beyond the grand banquet hall lay the renowned Moonlight Tower—the very heart of the establishment. At its center stood a 16-foot-high stage, where only the finest operas were performed. Even the waiters pouring wine might double as performers. This was what set the Royal Hotel apart. Items auctioned onstage were introduced by experts, and transactions at the bidding tables often exceeded billions. Once upon a time, the Royal Hotel was the secret ground where foreign dignitaries and royal attendants conducted discreet dealings. Strict formal attire was required for all who stepped inside. To the common folk, the Royal Hotel remained an enigma. They only knew

    Lily wasn't naïve. She had climbed to her current status through sheer agility and sharp instincts. At Orion's words, she immediately pressed a hand to her temple, her expression shifting. "I've revealed far too many secrets today. My head won't stop aching… Perhaps it's due to my condition." Her explanation was enough to settle those around her. "Oh, Ms. Kent is having a headache.""You should rest, Ms. Kent. Predicting the future must be exhausting.""You've been working tirelessly, especially in the stock market lately."Their respectful words soothed her irritation. Why had she let a mere waitress get under her skin? It wasn't worth her time. Lily refocused on the reason she was here. She turned to Orion and spoke smoothly. "I only befriended all of you because I'm fated to meet Mr. Draycott. He's someone I deeply respect. Under his leadership, I'm certain the Chamber of Commerce will thrive." Orion clasped his hands together humbly. "Ms. Kent, you flatter me. I'm si

    Orion had nearly destroyed Aria's reputation. After all, no elder should be kept waiting for their juniors.With the Grisham family also present, the situation became even more delicate. If word spread, their family's prestige would take a hit. Orion's goal was clear—he wanted to stir conflict between the Carver and Grisham families. With this growing misunderstanding, he was certain the Grishams wouldn't tolerate the Carvers' tardiness. But what happened next was beyond his expectations. Clyde, walking with his cane, halted upon hearing Orion's words. He spoke calmly, his tone indifferent. "According to the invitation, the Chamber of Commerce meeting starts in half an hour. Alex, you're being too hasty. Orion, you too. The Draycott family plays a key role in this gathering. Act with more maturity."Clyde's carefully chosen words completely dismantled Orion's previous manipulations. The atmosphere shifted. Everyone reconsidered—Clyde was right. There was still half an hour l

    Clyde seemed to have noticed their gazes and walked toward them. Orion quickly masked his thoughts and forced a smile. "Waymond, why didn't you inform us that your father is feeling better? I could have prepared a more comfortable chair for him."Clyde glanced at him, clearly drawing boundaries as his elder. "There's no need to worry. You've been concerned about my health for a long time, Orion. However, you don't need to be anymore. Just proceed with the Chamber of Commerce as usual."Orion's gaze darkened. It seemed Clyde was still used to issuing orders as if the Draycott family remained under his thumb.Turning away, Orion shot a meaningful glance at the person beside him.Rex immediately understood. He said loudly, "Mr. Grisham Senior, we can't start just yet. There are still invitees who haven't arrived."Clyde turned to look at him, and Rex smiled.
