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

"Lily, I think you'd better not bother with that disgusting fake heiress," Myrtle suggested.Lily thought Aria was involved in a scandal. She could barely suppress her joy as she feigned a scowl and said, "Myrtle, don't be so mean.""Lily, don't blame Myrtle. Aria's the one being secretive about her new relationship. I wonder what's there to hide?" Timmy pursed his lips.Was Aria in a relationship?Lily pretended to worry about Aria, "Do you think Aria might have been deceived? Grandma never mentioned anything about a boyfriend."In truth, Lily hadn't been in touch with Georgina lately. Cameron was the one who had informed her that Aria was single."She wouldn't dare. Your grandmother would have informed you if Aria's boyfriend were even remotely as impressive as Christian. But no, Aria settled for a gigolo! How embarrassing."Lily was secretly delighted. She hadn't forgotten the humiliation Aria inflicted on her. At the time, Aria had seemed so superior.Lily could barely hold
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 517 Humiliate Aria
After witnessing Lily's behavior today, Christian began to question whether he might be overthinking things.With an arm around Lily, he decided to seek out Aria once the gathering concluded. He hadn't forgotten his father's advice—winning over Aria could potentially open doors to connections with Lucas, the Secretary-General of City Hall. Additionally, Christian had to admit Aria was as stunning as he remembered. He refused to believe she had moved on. If she had, she wouldn't have chosen a gigolo as a boyfriend instead of pursuing a normal relationship.With this in mind, Christian devised a plan. "It's nothing much but why don't I send over a bottle of wine to preserve your dignity, Lily?"Christian's intentions were clear. He wanted Aria to realize how much more generous he was than her boyfriend. Most importantly, he wanted her to know he was in the restaurant.Lily was taken aback. "You want to send wine over?""If you're against it, we can forget it. It's entirely up to y
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 518 Bottle of Contempt
Landon supported Leon, valuing his business worth and the fact that he was a Carver."Aria, I need to get back to work." Leon continued with a hint of something else in his tone, "We celebrities are at the mercy of our bosses. They have countless ways to make money but choose to exploit us."Realizing the remark was aimed at him, Landon smiled. "Leon, work hard. I'll take care of Aria."Leon might have flipped the table right then if Landon weren't his boss.Listening to their exchange, Aria asked, "Leon, what job did you take on?"She sensed that this was just the beginning of the chaos surrounding "Survival of the Fittest.""My job?" Leon was caught off guard by her question and hesitated before replying, "I'll probably be on another variety show. It hasn't been officially announced yet. I'm still waiting for my manager's arrangements."Aria toyed with her amethyst pendant. "Okay. Let me know once it's confirmed.""Sure!" Leon flashed a triumphant glance at Landon, implying A
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 519 Sending Wine
Bound by the restaurant's century-old traditions, the owner himself brought the wine to Landon's room. Although unfamiliar with the York family personally, Oliver Richton knew enough about their customs to realize Landon's future brother-in-law should be aware of Landon's limited tolerance for alcohol.Therefore, it was questionable why he would send a bottle of alcohol over to Landon's room.Yet, it was a rare opportunity for Oliver to meet Landon, who was known for avoiding dining out due to health concerns. Accustomed to interacting with the Wagner and Layne families, Oliver knew they would never send alcohol to Landon. Instead, they would respectfully greet him. Given Landon's prestigious background, the other wealthy young men never dared to pressure him to drink when he declined due to health concerns. Holding the bottle of red wine, Oliver couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. However, Christian seemed confident in his intentions.Oliver knew that refusing
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 520 Flaunt Their Wealth
The head chef turned to Oliver in surprise, astonished by the sight of a child with such a voracious appetite.Aria smiled. "Go ahead and roast one for him. He's a big eater."Landon fiddled with his rosary bracelet. "One leg might not be enough. If Mrs. Carver heads to Ludwiten alone, Aria will be worried. Let Sam accompany her. He can bring a leg of lamb to eat on the way."Sam studied Landon as if trying to understand him, but he eventually gave up. Landon still seemed dangerous to him.Upon seeing this, Oliver instructed the head chef to prepare the leg. Sam wasn't a picky eater. After gathering the meat from the table, he approached Fiona happily. They were bound to get hungry during the walk, so he might as well bring some food.Fiona found his innocence endearing and led him away with a smile.Now that Fiona was gone, Landon changed his demeanor. He tugged on his collar with one hand and tousled Aria's hair with another.Then, he whispered in her ear, "I have too many r

"They want to flaunt their wealth?" Aria couldn't understand the logic behind using wine to show off their riches. Seeing her disgusted expression, Landon leaned on her shoulder with a smile.Aria didn't understand why he was so amused. She tilted his chin to meet her gaze, her eyes filled with confusion. "Could you explain how sending a bottle of wine shows off their wealth?"Oliver wished he could disappear. Even though Aria was a Carver, Oliver doubted anyone would dare to treat Landon like this. In fact, it felt like Landon was a handsome gigolo Aria kept around.Oliver shook his head to dismiss his absurd thoughts.As a man, Landon understood Christian's intentions. That's why he'd reacted so strongly."They sent the wine to taunt us for not opening a bottle. Hence, as your brother-in-law, he gave one to us as a gesture." Although Landon's tone carried a touch of amusement, his gaze was cold. Aria raised an eyebrow. "That's all?""That's all." Landon chuckled, twirling h
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 522 Humiliation
Oliver's choice of wine was intentional. "Ms. Carver, this bottle of red wine symbolizes luck. It has a smooth finish and isn't too astringent.""I selected this specific bottle since this is Mr. York's first time bringing you here. I didn't want it to seem like a gift from someone else, nor did I wish to accept your money. I simply want to share in your joy as you embark on this new chapter."Aria knew he was merely trying to ingratiate himself with Landon. Oliver was undeniably skilled at business.Landon rose and admired the bottle. "You're too kind, Mr. Richton. I will accept the wine. Please attend Aria's and my engagement party.""Of course!" Oliver replied excitedly.Landon smiled and continued, "However, my fiancée would also like to receive a bottle from the other party. Could you select another one?""The quality isn't crucial, and it's acceptable if you double or triple the price. After all, you are in business, and we are your customers. We won't be drinking the wine,

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
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1507 Being Arrogant
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
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. "
