The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 496 Bullying Fiona
Newly hired assistants often found themselves assigned to odd jobs. They were expected to run errands and fulfill various requests when working on set.Fiona didn't know what happened on set as Sam had dragged her away. The latter had been acting weirdly and didn't allow her on set.Fiona only learned Leon was one of the celebrity guests on the show upon her return—the presence of police cars and a constant stream of people coming and going filled her with worry.Leaving the coffee she'd prepared for a celebrity, she entered the breakroom and asked a young woman, "Excuse me, may I ask what happened on the show? Is Leon alright?"The young woman, Demi Kristoff, was actually an internet celebrity from the same company. She was currently filming TikTok videos in a nearby studio. Despite being less known, she possessed an arrogant demeanor. Ignoring Fiona, she turned to the makeup artist. "Is our company so short-staffed that they hired someone so clueless?"The makeup artist retouc

"The blue looks good on you," Fiona rasped, her voice hoarse.She expected Leon to be fearful or question her presence, but he simply helped her out, his actions filled with unexpected gentleness.Leon placed the coffee cup on the table, his gaze falling on the astonished Demi and her makeup artist."Enjoy your coffee," Leon's gaze landed on Demi. "Being a celebrity doesn't grant you superiority. You should be grateful the coffee didn't land on my mother's face. Otherwise, you could kiss your career goodbye."Fiona wanted to stop Leon, fearing his words might lead to trouble, but he continued undeterred. "Mom, I started out as a nobody too, but I always respected the crew and never mocked them like she did.""I-I…" Demi turned beet red. The rest of the crew on set watched the scene unfold. Demi had initially hoped to cozy up to Leon to boost her popularity, never expecting to offend him.No one would have guessed his mother was employed as a production assistant—it seemed so un

Aria ruffled Sam's hair and met Leon's gaze. "Leon, Sam is my brother."Aria's brother meant that he was Leon's brother too. Leon quickly shifted his attitude. He shot a smile at Sam and prepared to address the latter. Before he could do so, Landon turned Sam around and showed Leon the QR code on Sam's t-shirt. "Sam can't talk, so I'll speak for him. He likes money."Sam disliked Landon as the latter always gave off an oppressive vibe. Sam couldn't tell what it was, but it just made him want to stay away from him.Unfortunately, Aria liked Landon's looks.Sam asked the ladies on set for their advice. For someone who was typically disinterested in men, her sudden interest in Landon suggested she found him attractive.Sam initially didn't approve of this relationship. However, as a hacker, he discovered that the York family was filthy rich.That was Landon's only advantage. Since Aria only liked him for his looks, Sam thought he could put up with it until she lost interest in him

The spectral twins, Abbie and Angie, clung to the ethereal plane within the amethyst pendant, their spectral forms trembling—too afraid to come out. Everyone around Aria was very dangerous.They had believed their presence would taint Aria's fortune—after all, they were spirits of malevolence. Yet, upon encountering Chaos, their fears were magnified. Aria's willingness to harbor such a being suggested she was not one to be swayed by mere omens.Sam, on the other hand, detected a peculiar scent emanating from Aria. It was tantalizing, a fragrance that made his hunger rise.He rubbed his belly with a longing expression and glanced at the amethyst pendant sideways, trying to convey his desire.Aria, understanding his unspoken plea, pinched his cheek. "These are your future siblings. You must not consume them, understand?"Sam was struck dumb. The notion of his potential prey becoming kin was baffling.He grudgingly nodded, deciding to bide his time. For now, he had to restrain his t
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 500 Family Reunion Banquet
Despite Landon's frail appearance, he was adept at handling seasoned businessmen like Warren in the industry. So how could he suddenly seem polite and harmless before Aria? He must be putting on an act!Besides, no brother would ever find his sister's boyfriend pleasing to the eye, especially since Landon had called off his engagement with Aria. While everything else was understandable, his transformation before Aria was unsettling. After all, Landon wasn't like this with others.Sensing Leon's gaze, Landon looked over with an unreadable gaze."I understand that Leon may be unhappy about me. I was in the wrong, after all." Landon took the initiative to speak, his subdued tone seeming somewhat innocent. "Perhaps it's because I refused to play with him when we were younger, or maybe my foolishness to call off my engagement with Aria."With his refined and pale face, he seemed a bit fragile when he batted his long lashes. Nobody would want to trouble such a beautiful person, especia

Aria raised her eyebrows. "The Wagner family? You seem to care quite a lot about our family's banquet.""Well, I could have attended as your family," Landon replied, handing her a cup of coffee. "Get in the car first. I'll explain it to you when we get there."Aria was well taken care of. She settled into the seat, enjoying her coffee.Landon had arranged for two SUVs. Leon and the others were in the second vehicle, leaving the first one for just the two of them.Landon, capable of working anywhere, adjusted Aria's seat before responding to messages from his workgroup.Reclined, Aria yawned lazily, her beauty undiminished.Landon finished sending a text and caught sight of her. His eyes flickered as he fiddled with the rosary bracelet on her wrist. "A jeweler will come later. You can pick out a ring.""A ring? No thanks," Aria rejected without a second thought. "Having it while I perform my acupuncture is a hassle."Landon was exasperated. "Well, you can choose a necklace or so
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 502 Her Dream
Aria's eyes flickered at his words, and she recalled the burdens from the sins he carried. He had been kind to her, and she felt the need to repay him somehow. She reached out, gently holding his wrist to read his pulse. Though it appeared as if she was examining him, she was actually working to alleviate some of his burdens. As a practitioner in esoteric arts, she had many ways to help.However, Landon avoided her touch. "Don't misuse your magic."Aria felt that Landon was not easy to fool. He seemed to know everything.Was it because he read a lot of books? Aria propped her chin and got lost in her thoughts.Suddenly, she spoke up, "By the way, the spirits I adopted are afraid of you."Landon chuckled, wrapping her in a coat. "Do I look scary? You should help them build their courage. They could learn from Sam."Only four Perils existed in the world, like Sam. These creatures were embodiments of pure evil, leaving destruction in their wake. Yet, not all of them had been see
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 503 Investigating Owen
Aria was still pondering Nyx's words. What would the Wagner family have for Nyx to follow them involuntarily?She touched the Charm Coin to contact Nyx. She sought answers about what transpired at the Layne residence, how he ended up gravely injured, and his sudden appearance at Edenvale Children's Hospital. Yet silence greeted her queries.Puzzled, Aria glanced at Landon, eyebrows raised. She couldn't fathom why the little ones seemed to cower before him.Landon noticed her gaze and put down his work phone with a slight smile. He retrieved a bottle of water from the car's fridge and handed it to her, asking calmly, "Why the curious look?""Nothing much." Aria yawned lazily. "You go ahead and work. Wake me up when we arrive."The toll of dismantling a formation always left her drowsy, something Tobias had warned her about. She needed rest after such exhausting work, and the comfort of the car quickly lulled her into sleep.Landon watched her delicate features, a peculiar tenderne

"But he does look familiar." This was the first time Morwenna had such a feeling. It was as if the man from the York family was even more noble than her. Before him, she felt like a nobody. The idea of that provoked Morwenna. She was a deity from Krowo, so who was he to make her feel this way? "I think you should find a chance for me to meet that guy from the York family sometime." Morwenna met the old man's eyes. "The Yorks are the true noble family when it comes to protecting the nation. They've just been focused on commerce for the past century, which made us overlook them. The Yorks might be helpful to us." "I'll look into it." The old man glanced aside. "But why haven't you completed the tasks I assigned?" William stepped forward and said, "Sir, I came to bring good news. We've located the celestial essence you sensed earlier. Rest assured, we'll present it to you soon." "Good." This was the first time the old man showed satisfaction in days. "Before you bring it, inve
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 945 Whispers of Fate and Resentment
The child's fate was not merely at odds with his own—it actively threatened it. On that fateful day, the old man had been plagued by dreams from a distant past, visions long buried in the sands of time. It became clear that his unnatural existence, suspended between life and death as a half-human, half-ghost, was tethered to the very essence of that unborn child.A shadow crossed his eyes as he clenched his fists. "Perhaps I should have altered my perspective earlier. It's time to take a proper look at that child... the one I couldn't read, no matter how hard I tried."Morwenna's voice, filled with venom, cut through the silence. "The Carvers have always been a thorn in our side. They were a problem then, and they remain one now. We should've eliminated that woman before she could interfere."The old man shot her a sidelong glance. "You need to keep your presence hidden in Farshya. Stop drawing attention by appearing in their churches. I've told you before not to provoke the Farshya
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 944 Saintess Morwenna
Something had fallen to the ground, and a small shadow began to stir behind the curtains."She's not only hindering you but me as well," came a voice that sounded like that of a little girl. Yet, it carried an unsettling, unnatural tone, more akin to the mechanical chatter of those dolls."How could she return?" Behind the curtain, the shadow's long hair seemed to extend at an unnatural speed, growing longer by the second.The entire mansion was cloaked in an eerie atmosphere. The butler at the door stood trembling, yet William appeared almost euphoric as he bowed low and said reverently, "Morwenna, you've finally regained yourself!"The wooden doll named Morwenna let out a mocking laugh. "Regained myself? Is this what you call recovery?"The shadow behind the curtain trembled, and the lights overhead flickered ominously."We anticipated years ago that she would disrupt everything, that the Carver family's plans would crumble," Morwenna hissed. "And yet, you let her return!"A l
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 943 Special Missions Unit
Furrowing his eyebrows, the old man moved his fingers as if counting something. "That's weird, then."It was the same issue as before—he couldn't predict anything about Aria. If she had some ties to Homer, he should at least catch a glimpse of it. At best, she would only be Homer's apprentice. Yet, she remained an enigma beyond his foresight, shielded from even his most refined techniques.If someone was backing her, how did they conceal her from his visions? And why?The recent downfall of the Daley family was equally perplexing. It had been executed so seamlessly that no one even noticed until it was too late. The Daleys had served the country well, earning enough merit to secure the higher-ups' protection. But despite this, they were wiped out overnight.This incident triggered a memory—the old man recalled an organization he had encountered in passing—the Special Missions Unit.The unit was not affiliated with any government, yet it was always a step ahead in hunting down spie
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 942 Aria's Involvement
The old man glanced at William and spoke sharply. "What went wrong with the seal?"William bowed his head, unable to provide a clear answer. "The rumors about the Daley family emerged from nowhere. We tried to suppress the information while investigating the source, but all efforts were futile."Nobody knew who the Daley family had provoked, only knowing the higher-ups were the ones giving orders. Plus, the entire case was executed quickly and privately. It was as if someone was targeting the Daley family. "The case wasn't investigated using normal procedures at all. I can't reach out to the Daley family without risking exposure. I'm afraid someone might recognize me. "If I'm identified, all our hard work over the years will unravel. And now, the matter has already been brought to light online, putting us in a precarious position."They had used a lot of energy and time to ensure their plan was executed perfectly. Their actions had gone unnoticed for the past few years. Howeve
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 941 William Reappears
Sam had always been by Aria's side during her bouts of self-doubt. That was why she had always prayed that Tobias' ominous prediction would never come true.Before he vanished, Tobias had warned her that if Chaos reemerged, it would wreak havoc across the world. And when that moment arrived, Aria would need to steel herself and eliminate it.But Aria disagreed. To her, Sam was like family. He would happily carry out her every request as long as he was rewarded with a bit of food. How could such an earnest and loyal companion be a threat?Sam was undoubtedly righteous, just somewhat slow to react. How could he possibly bring chaos to the world?Aria could only dismiss the grim rumors as baseless. Either that or Sam had been misled by someone else.Pahana had once told her that Sam had a previous master. He was still young then and couldn't yet distinguish right from wrong. It must have been that previous master who failed to teach him properly.The notion that Sam could be a dange
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 940 Something Happened to Sam
It was a rare, honorable opportunity. If Pahana's worthless father could witness him now, he'd surely regret abandoning him and his mother.Pahana understood Aria could have chosen not to give him the merits. She could have chosen to continue enslaving him like the other fortune tellers. Yet, she chose to honor her promise, compensating him for his efforts.If all humans kept their promises like Aria, creatures like Pahana wouldn't harbor such deep hatred that they'd want to devour them.Approaching Aria, Pahana was ready to repay her generosity by renewing the blood pact. However, Aria stopped him. She wasn't interested in complicating things further. Who knew where she'd be a century from now? There was no point in binding herself to a lizard—especially when the river was so polluted.Her eyes darkened. "No need. Just stop eating humans and keep an eye on the river. You saw how I handled things. If you don't want to end up as grilled lizard meat, behave.""Ms. Carver, don't worr

With a thud, Pahana fell flat on the ground. He was utterly speechless. Why did Aria suddenly lash out at him?Aria regarded him with a calm yet piercing gaze. "You had a sly look on your face just now. What were you scheming?"Pahana was still far from being fully obedient. Since she had taken him in, it fell upon Aria to teach him the proper order.Pahana blinked, bewildered. This was simply how he looked—Aria couldn't blame him for appearing sly just because of his natural features."I'm merely admiring your skill," he ventured carefully, trying to appease her. "Your mastery of the Decatorian way is impressive." He was referring to how she used Landon's heavenly fortune to sever the binding contract.Aria could sense the subtle disloyalty within Pahana. Cunning was second nature to lizards like him, but with a contract binding them, it was of little concern to her. She glanced down at Pahana, who was sprawled at her feet and spoke coolly, "That's not all I'm good at. I'm also

Back then, those fortune tellers were blind to Landon's true identity and insisted on sealing him away underground. Landon must be seeking revenge for what happened back then.That explained his pursuit of Aria.To Pahana, Aria was an enigma. Her skills were average, yet she possessed undeniable talent and a unique approach that defied the traditional Decatorian methods he knew.Fortune tellers were rarely bound by the conventional, their minds trained to think in ways others could not fathom. Pahana could also feel the hidden strength within Aria, a power she kept buried deep.Landon must have noticed that and sought to consume her soul.Yet Pahana found no trace of a binding contract between Landon and Aria.There were rumors, however, that Landon had once made a pact with a woman who was as infamous as she was beautiful. She was a woman of no redeeming qualities, a heartless temptress who reveled in tormenting others. Her disrespect for people was unmatched, yet Landon had
