Chapter 51 The York Family's Banquet

Author: Night Eleven
Salome craned her neck. "But you know as well as I that the medical industry is most profitable. With how many people there are in the family, we can't let our sources of income be severed."

"I'm not asking that of you," Galen said slowly, "Just lay low for a while and wait for things to subside."

Salome understood immediately. "Is someone from Janovin coming down here again, Father?"

Galen didn't respond to that. He merely closed his eyes.

Salome said, "Don't worry, Father. I'll make sure that nothing will be unearthed."

Nothing had happened to the Gunther family for more than a decade since then, and they would surely emerge unscathed this time as well!

One night, inside a skyscraper in Janovin, the screens of countless office computers glitched at the same time.

In a clinic in Southbury, Aria bit on a piece of fruit candy as she tapped her fingers on the table.

Right after that, an identical email appeared in the mailboxes of those office accounts. The invader came and w

    Unlike the previous time, the banquet was not held in the city but in a villa in Westwood. Aria didn't ride her Tomahawk bike there this time. She packed her medical kit and invitation card before hailing a taxi. Did she hallucinate it, or did this invitation card look different?Aria was deep in contemplation after getting in the taxi. When the driver heard where she was going, he was surprised. "Not everyone gets to visit Caesar Villa in Westwood. I heard that all the people going today are renowned figures, so what about you, young lady?""I'm just going to make myself more known out there." Aria smiled lightly.The driver chuckled. "That's what I thought. You're just a young lady. It's not like you're going there to treat someone, right?"Aria smiled and said nothing. Caesar Hotel and Caesar Villa were of different levels. Caesar Hotel, which was in the city center of Southbury, was open to everyone. On the other hand, Caesar Villa in Westwood was a villa with a rose yard, comp

    People were still gradually entering the outer hall of the villa. Aria was among them, but her attire was obviously unlike what other people were wearing. Clad in a white shirt, jeans, and a maroon baseball cap, she looked like a student who hadn't graduated yet. The bodyguards at the gate stopped her from entering, asking politely, "And you are?"Before Aria could say anything, someone sneered from beside them. "A quack who 'specializes' in traditional medicine; and she has the audacity to show up here."It was Jimmy. He was supporting Salome as they walked over, followed by Karen and Lily. Lily was obviously avoiding Aria because she didn't want anyone to know about the relationship between them. Karen, on the other hand, was glaring at Aria so venomously, that her gaze was boring holes through her face. Aria really was everywhere! Aria raised a brow and said slowly, looking interested, "Oh, I know all of you.""You're nothing but a stranger to me," Jimmy said, "Look at wher

    Upon hearing the word "forged", the bodyguards looked at each other and said politely, "Please show us your invitation card, miss."Aria had astutely realized why she had come to get ahold of her invitation card. She had nothing to fear, though. If worse came to worse, she'd just expose her identity as Dr. Whiz. Aria handed the gold-plated invitation card over. As expected, the bodyguards were alarmed.This… This was…Upon seeing the bodyguards' expressions, everyone voiced their speculations, "Is something really wrong with the invitation card?"Jimmy was righteously furious as well. "Not only did Georgina Harris kill a patient, but her student is also a scammer. She's the embarrassment of the medical industry!"Salome was laughing as well. She sounded smug as she said, "If you really want to enter that badly, you can always ask for help from senior doctors such as me. You shouldn't resort to playing these tricks—how inappropriate.""Yeah, how embarrassing!""So is this how

    Aria didn't let the bodyguards help. "You don't need to go to the trouble. This bag holds my medical equipment, so I'll just carry it myself. You can do whatever you need to do."She had to meet the grandson of her grandma's old friend, too, and it would be inconvenient if she went around with such a high profile.The bodyguards knew what they should do. "Please come with us, then."Salome couldn't watch this unfold any longer. She bit out, "Are you sure that the invitation card is real?""She's right! Maybe you made a mistake!" Karen yelled louder than anyone else.Karen knew best about Aria's situation. She would never receive a real invitation!Lily bit on her lower lip and pulled on her mother's sleeve. "Mom, this is the York family's villa."Only then did Karen regain her rationality, and she didn't get into an argument with the bodyguards. Her daughter was right. They were at the York family's villa, and she mustn't cause a scene. Jimmy thought otherwise. He'd always l

    "Ah," Karen said.Salome sneered. "As if she could get the invitation card anywhere. I had someone deliver it to her.""You did?" Lily was confused. Salome felt a bad headache come on. "My family received three invitation cards. I wanted Constantine to deliver a fake one to her, but he must've gotten it wrong and sent her a real one instead.""That damn girl benefited from this, then!" Karen said vehemently, "You should've given it to me instead, Dr. Gunther."Salome lost all her patience. "I can bring you in with me, so it's the same anyway!"She walked toward the bodyguard and pushed her invitation card forward haughtily. After inspecting the card, the bodyguard stood aside and let her in. Only then did Salome feel like she'd regained some of her dignity. However, her mood plunged soon after, as Karen shouted, "Dr. Gunther, Dr. Gunther! They're refusing to let me in!"Salome turned back and looked at the bodyguard who'd stopped Karen from entering. "What's going on here

    The newcomer was dressed fashionably, with pale skin and handsome features. With the pair of red headphones around his neck, he didn't look much like a doctor, but rather a rapper.He sat down beside Aria, muttering, "My grandpa also tells me to do stuff like this. Take care of his old friend's granddaughter, hah. Do I look like I know how to do that?"He looked Aria up and down, his gaze sharp. "You shocked everyone just now, young lady. For you to say that you came from Heartbound Hall, you sure are bold."Aria studied his face for a while, and she said, her gaze meaningful, "Malcolm?"Malcolm's eyes opened wide instantly. He wondered why the young woman before him sounded like his boss when she'd uttered his name. He was convinced he had hallucinated it; anything else was absurd!Malcolm looked at his phone. His boss had never said that she'd come to the seminar, and the last message in their chat was still her refusing an order.That was what he thought! His amazing, powerful

    "You're leading a team even if you're useless yourself?" The person who'd interrupted Aria was Constantine, who'd come late. His arm was still limp even now, all thanks to Aria.Constantine sneered coldly, looking at Aria. "Your family is absolutely laughable, Malcolm. Did you really bring some random nobody here?"Malcolm was unperturbed. "And is that any of your business?"Constantine didn't respond to that. Instead, he said to Taron, "Don't say that I didn't remind you, Taron. You shouldn't hang out with good-for-nothing like them all the time. Look carefully at her. Who is she?"Taron had never liked how arrogant he was, so he retorted, "Like I give a damn about that. I don't make friends based on their family background.""That's why I said that you're stupid. You can't tell a pill from another, that's fine, but you don't even know that she's your ex-cousin-in-law." Constantine pointed at Aria. "She's the fake daughter who was kicked out by the Kent family!"What?Taron was

    Aria hoisted her wooden chair up and went over to another spot. She sat down again, her legs crossed as she said coolly, "Where did this ugly mug come from? You sure do talk a lot."Ugly mug?A dead silence filled the hall. The expression on Christian's face sure was something. Even his lips were trembling as he gaped in disbelief. "What did you just say?""I said you're ugly." Aria chuckled nonchalantly. "Hear that? If you didn't hear me clearly, maybe consider getting your ears treated.""You little…" Christian's chest heaved in anger. Almost everyone wore expressions of shock. Lily was especially taken aback. Her hands were clasped together as she frowned. What was that?Didn't Aria have feelings for Christian? She'd witnessed how Aria had put herself down just for Christian. So why was this happening now?Lily took a deep breath. Christian looked like a clown still stuck onstage. "Did you forget how you begged me just to look at you for a second, Aria?""No woman i

    Everyone in the café had been enjoying their afternoon tea when they heard the commotion. They turned to look. "Where's the server?" Nisa called out. These rich ladies were all regulars who paid hefty annual membership fees. At their summons, the manager appeared with a smile before any server could respond. "Mrs. Guetta, how may I help you?" "Jonah, perfect timing. I was wondering when this place started letting country bumpkins like her in," Nisa said, her gaze sweeping over Lily. Without hesitation, Jonah Marx kicked Lily out. At that same moment, Aria arrived for their appointment. Traffic had been terrible. She had only agreed to meet Nisa because she needed to uncover something important. In her dreams, there was still one voice that hadn't appeared. The owner of that voice had harmed her mother, Fiona. She would never feel at peace until she dug out the person behind it. Aria was never worried about threats from others. For instance, she knew about Lily's wild accu

  • The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 1508 Lily Never Learns

    Dorian was grinning from ear to ear, showing none of the dignity expected from someone of a prominent family. He had less class than a common street hustler. The members of the Chamber of Commerce had good reason to look down on him. Dorian didn't believe that Neval, who was addicted to gambling, wouldn't return to the country for at least ten years. Once they took down the Grisham family, he'd be calling all the shots in the Chamber of Commerce! Dorian truly took after Magdalene in this aspect. The latter embodied all the worst traits of her generation—a twisted mindset and was always scheming something. Also, she was arrogant and had a superiority complex. Magdalene didn't want Neval to return, which explained why she'd readily given him money. She thought that Waymond would soon be arrested. Then, the Grisham family would go from riding high to crashing and burning, and Aria would pay the price. These were already set in stone! The prominent families' joint effort to targe

    In the Fitzroy family, only Neval saw things clearly, despite being a screw-up. Everyone else was blinded by their own arrogance. Laura, of course, never saw it that way. Perhaps too much time had passed, which made her forget how she had married into the Grisham family in the first place. She had also forgotten what it meant to be grateful. Without the Fitzroy family's involvement, Orion's long-standing attempts to sabotage Waymond would have failed. This had been an unspoken secret between the two families for years. Magdalene had always been the head of the Fitzroy family. The best thing about her younger son, Dorian Fitzroy, was that he would always follow her orders. Neval wasn't her biological son, but Dorian was. As a child born in her later years, Dorian was showered with love. Now, he sat at the meeting place where several families had agreed to gather. "How do you plan to deal with Aria?" The Guettas were the ones who had organized this meeting. They used to keep

    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

    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

    "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

    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.

    "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. "
