The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 508 Revenge
Leon felt relieved that Landon treated Aria differently. He couldn't bear the thought of Aria being hurt by Landon or the tangled web of aristocratic intrigue.After a moment's contemplation, Leon spoke up. "Why not get engaged sooner?"His sudden proposal made Aria wonder if Leon was concerned about the jealousy and potential mistreatment she might face once the Carver family formally recognized her. He likely believed that Landon could protect her. After all, the York family had a prominent position in Janovin for decades.Aria tried to read Leon's intentions, but the closer she was to someone, the harder it was to predict. Typically, fortune tellers like her could foresee a person's future by their appearance. But with those she loved or herself, it was like a blank canvas.Despite being on the show with Leon, she hadn't detected the faintest shadow of doom around him. Leon wasn't someone destined for a short lifespan, nor was his end meant to be buried in some children's hospit
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 509 Uncles
Leon was mischievous but was always fiercely protective of his family. Fiona understood the depth of his pain when Aria was kidnapped.Now that her children were reunited, tears welled up in Fiona's eyes. She'd never expected Leon to forgive her so quickly, especially after her harsh words during her illness.Fiona was never a weak person. Awakening from her prolonged "slumber" at the hotel, she realized she was a stranger to herself. She'd abandoned her career and even left Leon to bear the guilt alone.Fiona had two reasons for joining Leon's entertainment company—to make amends and to counter the online attacks against him. The public's cruelty toward Leon was unbearable, and as his mother, she wouldn't tolerate it.She wondered why Owen hadn't defended Leon, allowing his reputation to be damaged.Fiona knew Leon had left home because of Mindy, wanting nothing to do with the Carvers. Yet, he was Owen's son. How could Owen ignore it?Fiona clenched her fists, her gaze darkening
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 510 Just in Time
Aria hadn't investigated Fiona's family background. However, based on what Fiona said, her uncles doted on Fiona as Leon did on her. This led Aria to believe that the Grisham family was likely less dubious than the Carvers.Recently, Aria had been investigating the Carver family, particularly the Wrathborn Manifestation and Warren's death, which she had glimpsed in her dreams.She found several people of interest, including her great-uncle Ian. It was rumored he was affluent yet laid-back. He didn't get involved with the company's affairs and was content by receiving a small portion of dividends each year.Aria focused primarily on those she dreamed about. In her dreams, Ian had shown no malice toward her; in fact, he had defended her.Yet Aria was one to anticipate potential threats. She was concerned not about the overt antagonists but those whose motives were unclear.Aria found it odd that Owen was closer to Ian than his own father.However, Warren had explained this matter t
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 511 More Than Foolish
"Landon is undeniably handsome.""We all know how cunning Landon is. As long as Aria likes him, it doesn't matter.""Isn't Percy the same age as Landon? They must have interacted a lot when they were children.""Me? I'm not as close to him as Leon is. Leon cried for an entire afternoon the first time he saw him. That's why I'm surprised Leon lets Aria have her way with him."Suddenly, Percy asked, "Are you sure Aria is the one going after him?"Leon replied, "It should be."Percy felt he needed more concrete evidence, though.Leon wasn't in the group chat merely to say all that. He intended to share everything Aria had told him about Fiona, especially with his eldest brother, Fergus, engaged in the conversation.The mood shifted when Leon shared Aria's theories with all his brothers, excluding Jeffrey, who was absent. The expressions of the four elder brothers quickly became impassive after reading Leon's message."So Aria is suggesting someone is behind her abduction and Mom'
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 512 The Most Irresponsible in the Family
Percy declared, "Aria doesn't need to worry about this. No one in this group chat cares about Dad except Fergus."Seeing the conversation take this turn, Fergus responded, "Percy, he's still our father. Let's not jump to conclusions without solid evidence. Mom will be upset if she finds out we suspect Dad."Percy took off his glasses, a glint of malice in his eyes. "If Dad really did something to hurt Mom and Aria for his own benefit, he doesn't deserve to be our father."Fergus replied, "It's all just our assumption. Aria didn't actually say that."Percy, never one to mince words, retorted, "She knows we'll take sides if she does. No wonder she hasn't looked for her brothers despite being home for so long."We always say we'll protect Aria, but have we really? That's probably what Grandpa was worried about, which is why he didn't tell us everything."Mindy has treated us like brothers ever since Dad insisted on bringing her back. If I were Aria, I wouldn't bother looking for my
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 513 Investigating Owen
Fergus said, "We need to figure out why Dad is acting so irrationally."Percy raised an eyebrow. "It sounds like Dad confided in you, Fergus?"Fergus replied, "I need to talk to him since he reached out to me. If not, I'll ask him to meet with you all next time."Jeffrey immediately replied, "I'm not available."Percy grinned. "Dad gets sick whenever he talks to me. For his health's sake, I'll leave this to you, Fergus."Owen was a thorny issue to the brothers that only Fergus could handle.Fergus got straight to the point. "I've been looking into some past incidents and will have results soon. If Dad's involved, we need to keep Mom away from him."It's odd that Dad is asking Aria to be sensible with an outsider unless Mindy is truly special to him."Percy raised his eyebrows. "Fergus, are you saying Mindy might be Dad's illegitimate daughter?""Not exactly. It has to do with Aria's horoscope and detailed birth date," Fergus clarified.Jeffrey narrowed his eyes. "You think Da
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 514 Landon Is a Gigolo
As Aria's hunger grew from her intensive thinking, the food finally arrived.Despite Landon's claims of it being a modest meal, he had actually brought them to a renowned seafood restaurant in Janovin that had been serving exquisite dishes for over a century.Every dish, from the appetizers to the decadent desserts, was a culinary masterpiece. The freshly sliced meat burst with flavor in every bite.Clearly, Landon knew Sam's appetite well, as he'd ordered a perfectly seasoned tomahawk steak. Its tenderness and flavor were evident in every mouthful. Sam's eyes lit up, and he graciously shared with Fiona.Aria had no cause for concern; Landon was attentive, assisting her with food and napkins. His usual obsession with germs seemed to be forgotten as his coat lay loosely nearby.As Landon brushed Aria's hair back, he asked with a smile, "Are you that hungry?""Yup," Aria replied, her physically demanding job requiring ample energy for her plans. Landon tied her hair back, his eyes
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 515 Looking for Trouble
The seafood restaurant was a reservation-only establishment with traditional décor, offering little soundproofing.Soon, a manager approached Christian and his group, who were a bit too loud. "Sir, please lower your voice to avoid disturbing the other patrons."Timmy turned beet red from embarrassment. "They have many rules here, don't they?""Of course. It's a public place, after all. If it weren't for Christian, we wouldn't even be here. Let's show some respect," someone retorted.Humiliated, Timmy was about to retaliate, but Christian intervened to calm things down. "Let's drop it, guys. We can continue this over drinks. Don't worry about the bill. It's my treat."He added, "Lily will be here soon. Take the opportunity to find yourselves a girlfriend. Her roommates are coming too. Don't say I didn't give you a heads-up."His male classmates glanced around. "What chance do we have with you around? Half the school has a crush on you."They weren't exaggerating. Christian was ha

The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1506 The Inevitable Downfall
Magdalene said, "In the past, our family had helped the Grishams to survive. But now..." She took a sip of her tea. "They're digging their own grave, and we can't help them anymore." Just as she finished speaking, a middle-aged man walked in. When Magdalene saw him, her brows immediately furrowed. Her eldest son, Neval Fitzroy, was her least favorite child. He had brought nothing but shame to the Fitzroys. If he hadn't developed a gambling addiction, the Fitzroy family wouldn't have fallen this far. She asked, "What are you doing here?" Neval rubbed his hands together and snickered. "Mom, I'm a little short on cash lately. I mainly came because I missed you, but I'm also here to ask for a little money." Before Magdalene could respond, Laura stood up. "Neval, Mom just gave you 20 million last month. You shouldn't have spent it so quickly." Magdalene had been in a good mood, but now her face darkened. "Did I raise you to leech off me? How could 20 million dollars be gone so
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1505 The Fitzroys
Orion slammed his fist hard on the table. He'd been played by someone who looked like nothing more than a trust fund kid. Yet he had no choice but to let Aria manipulate him. Because no matter what he said, someone would show up to "take care of" him. At this point, he could only make everything look like a simple financial crime in order to protect himself. Aria had calculated this perfectly and planned accordingly. Even now, most people saw Aria as just some young hotshot who made money but didn't understand the bigger picture. They thought because she came from a small town, she was naïve enough to believe taking down the Draycott family would solve everything. In reality, she would be dragging herself down as well. Unless she didn't plan to stay in Ludwiten at all! Most people who thought this way were driven by pride and jealousy. They wouldn't admit they wished they were in Aria's shoes. The Carvers had raked in so much money from the stock market this time around. The
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1504 Emerging From the Shadows
"Yes, I'm sure," Gabe said, having checked everything carefully. The old man thought for a moment. "Find a way and get someone else to tell Orion what he should and shouldn't say. If he's smart enough, he should understand." "Alright." Gabe pushed up his glasses. "Don't worry; everything will be handled." The old man's eyes were deep and calculating. "To achieve great things, some people must be sacrificed. If necessary, offer the Draycott family some benefits. Go take care of the Bellebrook situation." Gabe chuckled. "They're just some greedy, low-class people. They only succeeded because of you, yet they always think they made it on their own." "Gabe, mind your words." The old man had a kind face. Looking at him, one would think he cared for all people. Judging from his simple lifestyle, he did not seem like someone who would do bad things at all. Even the cup he used was bought from the supermarket for just over ten dollars. "Go now. As I've always said, anyone can l
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1503 Digging Deeper
Aria's question made Orion freeze right away. The scholarship program was his secret lifeline. He simply couldn't figure out how she knew so many details about everything! "You've been setting me up in the stock market all this time. How did you also find out about the scholarship program?" Orion felt genuinely scared now—everyone had really underestimated Aria. When had she done all this research? She'd dug deeper than he ever imagined. The scariest part was that neither he nor that person had noticed anything. They all thought she was just helping the Carver family restore their former glory. Keeping the Chamber of Commerce out of the Carver family's hands was that person's strict order. That was why the Draycotts had climbed so quickly within the organization over the years. They all assumed Aria had come to Ludwiten to target the Chamber. But now... Orion looked up again. "The scholarship program is weird business. I only handled recruitment. I don't know where those peop
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1502 Threatening Orion
Orion said, "I don't know much, honestly." He looked at Aria with hesitation, as if he was afraid to name that person. He made a gesture instead. "That person is the lieutenant governor of Ludwiten, who has many achievements to his name. "If you're brave enough to investigate, I can tell you about the deals I handled. But I don't know about the rest." Aria raised an eyebrow. Her expression said everything—she had already kidnapped him, so did he seriously think she would be afraid to investigate this further? Orion took a deep breath. "I just handle the money. That person wants something bigger—he wants to make history, but he's been in poor health lately. He needs me to keep certain people in line, but I can't give you details since I really don't have proof." "Which people does he control? And how does he do it?" Aria asked casually. Orion glanced upward, his eyes slowly losing focus. "I have no idea which people." "Mr. Draycott, I thought you would have learned by now.
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1501 Shock
"Who the hell are you?" Orion shouted as he couldn't hold back anymore. He gripped the armrests hard, almost jumping out of his chair. But Aria barely glanced his way. "I brought you here, didn't I? Who do you think I am?""Y-You're..." Orion remembered a rumor from a business dinner about a Special Missions Unit that operated outside normal chains of command. They could investigate anyone without going through regular channels.Their authority even topped the Regular Missions Unit. Orion had laughed it off back then. Every group had to answer to someone higher up, so there couldn't be a unit with that kind of freedom. In Ludwiten, everyone answered to that one big shot. But now he realized such a thing actually existed!Orion's face turned ghostly pale. "Are you… a part of the Special Missions Unit?"Only that could explain everything! With all her digging and investigating, that person would have noticed what she had been doing. But Orion did not understand something. "
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1500 Revealing Her Identity
Usually, in this situation, Orion would have a lawyer present. But things were different today! He did not even know which department was holding him. All his usual connections seemed blocked, which made Orion start to panic from deep inside. He sat there, fidgeting nervously. No one else was in the room. "I want a lawyer! I'm innocent!" he shouted, trying to move, but his hands were cuffed to the chair. Just then, a familiar cool voice spoke up, carrying its usual casual tone, "Whether you're guilty or not, the law will decide." It was Aria. Her presence was completely different from earlier in the office. When Orion saw her, he wondered if his eyes were playing tricks on him. There wasn't a trace of the spoiled, rebellious, rich kid in her now. Instead, she looked at him calmly as if she were the highest authority in this place. Orion's heart sank. He wasn't stupid and knew how things worked. That was why his eyes widened as he stared at Aria. "Who are you really?" "D
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1499 The Draycott Family Falls
Magdalene told Laura, "Now you're the partner everyone wants to work with." She laughed out loud. "This divorce couldn't have come at a better time." Laura's eyes widened as Magdalene spoke, her excitement growing by the second. "Mom, does that mean I'll be..." Laura could hardly imagine how amazing her future would be. Magdalene stroked her hair. "They won't call you Mrs. Grisham anymore. They'll call you the CEO of the Fitzroy Group." Laura's face trembled with barely contained excitement. She never considered that the shares they wanted weren't rightfully theirs but something they were taking through dirty tricks. "I was worried these families might side with Aria." Laura had genuinely been concerned about this. After all, families like the Katz family and those families working in traditional industries had started treating Aria with the same respect they once had for Barron. This was exactly what drove Laura crazy. Why should Aria get to live carefree after ruining her
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1498 Joined Forces Against Aria
Magdalene felt better than she had in a long time. She even ordered someone to open a bottle of wine to celebrate. This was the most relaxed day Magdalene had experienced in weeks. News about the Draycott family kept pouring in, and she had been feeling not just anxiety but a deep uneasiness. Over the years, the Fitzroy and Draycott families had become deeply entangled. Even without obvious business interests like others had, they shared information regularly. Even in that incident years ago, the Fitzroy family had been involved. Previously, she had worried more than anyone about the Draycott family's collapse. Now, she felt differently. First, there were the Grisham shares they would soon acquire. Second, she had learned that the Draycott family was not the only one that had lost money in the stock market because of Aria. Many prominent Ludwiten families had suffered losses thanks to her market manipulations. Magdalene understood clearly that to establish themselves in this
