The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 558 I Am Lamar
The crowd erupted at Kylie's words.Plagiarism? Stealing? If that were true, the Carver family's stocks would plummet!There was only one way out—disown Aria. The banquet had to end early, or the shareholders would revolt if the news spread.This wasn't the first time. Stocks once worth over 20 dollars had dropped to mere cents overnight. With the market in turmoil, no one dared gamble on a company's fate.Everyone, including the major shareholders, turned their eyes to Aria, voices rising in heated discussion. Kylie barely hid her glee.Leon's expression darkened, but before he could speak, Aria smiled and calmly said, "I did design the clothes. But what evidence do you have of plagiarism?""It's way too similar—it has to be plagiarism!" Kylie nearly lost her composure.Mindy, feigning pity, stepped in. "Kylie, enough. Aria just got back. She probably didn't mean to copy. It's just a habit she hasn't shaken yet.""Mindy, after how she'd humiliated you earlier, you're still def
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 559 Verona Appears
"She's so young. Plus, I heard Lamar is a noble in Nobeeta."It seemed that nobody believed in Aria.Kylie laughed dismissively. "Ms. Carver, if you want to get out of this, you should come up with something more believable."Though Lamar remains elusive, her Nobeetan origins are widely recognized. Her designs are consistently exotic. To convincingly pose as her, you must closely mimic her style."Aria replied calmly, "Have you ever met Lamar, or heard her claim to be from Nobeeta?""Well…" Kylie couldn't retort.Aria grinned. "You haven't seen or heard Lamar make such a claim. The guests mentioned it was all just rumors. I used to design outfits with an exotic flair to attract overseas orders."I didn't anticipate such strong demand from Farshya. The less I produced, the higher the prices I commanded. I only intended to cover some tuition fees, but it seems I have considerable support from all of you."Her demeanor stunned the ladies and made them reconsider. After all, they c
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 560 Aria Proves Them Wrong
Verona paused, studying Aria's face. "Your eyes are like Fiona's. Rainbow, I'm Verona Ander. I even held you as a child.""You did misunderstand Mindy, but it's not your fault. After all, you've been away from home for many years. I understand that accepting your biological parents will be difficult."As Verona spoke, she reached out to pat Aria's head. "You were quite the troublemaker when you were younger. Mistakes happen, and you can always apologize. But I won't let anyone slander you. I promise. Why don't you let me see your gown?"Verona was trying to earn Aria's trust. Since Aria's return, Jeffrey and Leon acted differently. They should consider Fiona's feelings. After all, Fiona was someone who couldn't bear to see Mindy or Aria get hurt.Verona glanced around the room. "You should believe my words. During my time in Nobeeta, I had contact with Lamar's brand. I know things that most people do not.""Ms. Ander, we all believe in you," one of the socialites said smilingly.
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 561 Two Minutes
Luke always supported doing anything beneficial to the company."Should I post it now or wait until the start of the month? Larmir Fashion Week will be happening then. We could capitalize on that to boost our visibility. It's your debut using Farshyan elements in gown design. I'm sure it will cause an uproar, especially in Farshya. They're our main—"Luke was a whirlwind of words, his speech punctuated with exclamations. Rarely contacted by Lamar, his excitement had clearly gotten the better of him.Aria, however, cut him off. "Post it now. I want to see it on the company's official website in two minutes. If I don't, you can turn in your resignation."In other words, Aria also owned the company.Few at the banquet were familiar with Nobeetan, and those who were stood across the room. The socialites closer to Aria had no training in Nobeetan. Meanwhile, some of the ladies who had studied in Nobeeta couldn't discern the details of the conversation but noticed Aria directing someone
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 562 Percy Arrives
What else could Kylie say? She was already dumbfounded. She wouldn't be in such an awkward position if she had reined in her arrogance. But she had been harsh with Aria and offended the Carver family in public.Kylie thought she had hit Aria's sore point as the latter kept silent. She never expected Aria to be Lamar! Why didn't she reveal it earlier?Was Aria deliberately waiting for Kylie to make a scene before addressing the issue?The thought terrified Kylie. For the first time, she scrutinized Aria closely. Was she really just a bumpkin?There was no time to ponder further; the room was abuzz with exclamations and discussions.As Kylie had wished, she was now the center of attention at the banquet. But she would have preferred to remain unnoticed. Nervously gripping her sleeves, she wished she could vanish.Kylie glanced at Mindy, hinting at the latter to help her.Mindy avoided her gaze at first, but she soon remembered the Wagner family was backing her. Thus, Mindy held
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 563 Apologize
It was Percy. He shrugged off his plain-looking coat and walked out of the corner.Compared to Jeffrey and Leon, Percy seemed more like a typical corporate elite. He wore a diamond wristwatch and had a stylish backcombed hairstyle. His well-defined face was adorned with a gentle smile."Percy!" Leon's eyes lit up.At this moment, even the company owners made way for him.After all, Percy wasn't merely the Carver family's son. He was extremely famous among the Hemingway Legal Elites in Ludwiten. No business owner dared to offend a lawyer of his stature.Percy glanced briefly at Leon before locking eyes on Aria. He couldn't resist reaching out to brush a strand of Aria's long hair. "With your talent, you should be celebrated. I can't believe anyone would slander you like this."Aria stiffened, feeling uneasy under Percy's touch—the words she had prepared to say suddenly caught in her throat.Seeing her like this, Percy thought it was the Aria he knew best. His smile grew. "This is
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 564 Repay Kindness With Vengeance
As soon as Percy spoke, everyone in the banquet thought there was something wrong with Kylie.Aria couldn't help but raise her head and look at Percy. His words had been sharp, leaving no room for the Wagner family to retreat without humiliation. They would openly admit their lack of decorum if they refused to apologize. The tension only deepened.Sure enough, Agnes became anxious. "Percy, it's just a misunderstanding."She turned to Kylie with a steely tone. "If you don't apologize today, don't bother coming back home!"Kylie, now realizing the gravity of the situation, felt a wave of fear. Agnes wasn't bluffing."I-I'm sorry." Tears welled up in Kylie's eyes. Though she harbored resentment toward Aria, she had no choice but to bury it. With trembling hands, she bowed slightly, head lowered in submission. "I shouldn't have assumed things without knowing the full story. Please forgive my ignorance and foolishness."Aria, unmoved, glanced at Kylie and spoke coldly. "From what I've
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 565 Foolish Owen
Unexpectedly, as soon as the young Aria opened her eyes, she spat at Agnes, leaving her utterly disgusted. The grown-up Aria was even more insufferable than before. The Carver family should never have brought her back.Though her thoughts were venomous, Agnes maintained a look of regret.She knew she had to say something today. Otherwise, the Wagner family's reputation would be damaged. So, she turned to Owen with calculated concern. "Owen, please speak on behalf of the Wagner family. We truly mean no harm. Mr. Wagner Senior has always reminded us of the Carver family's kindness.""I know that," Owen responded, trying to be benevolent. "Do we even need to clarify how close our families are? Aria just returned, so she's just overthinking things. But Kylie should still learn to control herself." Although Owen appeared to scold Kylie, he subtly downplayed the situation."Kylie, you speak without thinking about the consequences. You're lucky I'm here to smooth things over. I'm sure Ari

The aged voice was filled with indifference. "It seems like she reached a dead end."Amos sneered. "I don't understand why these peasants like staying in the city. Still, it's fortunate for us. Otherwise, it'd be hard to get our hands on them.""Amos," the person cut in sharply, as if reminding him of his place.Amos only dared to speak so harshly when no one was around. If word got out, his image as the perfect secretary would be ruined.He quickly calmed down and fell silent. The caller didn't press the matter, simply saying, "You need to change the way you speak and act from now on."Since she's already agreed, give her the money. Don't treat her requests as a nuisance. The more requests they make, the less likely they are to cause trouble later."After picking her up tomorrow, send a few men to check if her grandparents need any help. Make sure everything is done properly."Amos nodded. "I understand. You always see the bigger picture. We'll continue looking after them."Poo

"I promise it won't happen again!" To an outsider, it might've sounded like Amos was talking about the cafeteria mishap. But the truth was much darker. What Amos really meant was that incidents like this could continue, just never publicly. Once the media's attention died down, they could go back to doing whatever they pleased. But for now, the performance had to be flawless.The man on the other end of the call seemed satisfied. Though his voice was flat and monotonous, there was a noticeable shift; it was now less stern."She's been manipulating the stock market," he said. "It's caused major damage to several of Luwditen's corporations. We can't let her walk free."Amos removed his glasses, a grim look on his face. "That's exactly what I told the Securities Regulatory Department. It doesn't matter who comes to plead on her behalf. Even if she's the late Mr. Barron's heir, she has to face the law."She's confessed. No one's going to let her off the hook now. You know what jail'

At first, Eden didn't understand what Aria meant. But as night fell, Aria lowered her head and started fumbling with something. When she looked up again, Eden was stunned—Aria looked exactly like her.Eden's eyes widened in disbelief. She'd only seen something like this in movies. But now, it was unfolding right in front of her. So there really was such a flawless disguise technique in the world."Aria, you…""Since I'm using your identity, I have to be you," Aria said with a soft tug of her mask, smiling. She had always been bold, yet precise. Working in the Special Missions Unit meant secrecy was second nature to her—this part was routine."Stay home and rest tonight. I'll leave first thing in the morning. Once I'm gone and the coast is clear, take your grandparents and leave."Eden opened her mouth, unsure of how to respond. She didn't even know when the people watching them would leave."My team will come get you," Aria reassured her. "What's important is that your grandparent
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1592 They're the Ones in Danger
Eden nodded. "Okay. I'll do as you say, Aria."She sent the text just like Aria instructed. Moments later, her teacher replied—everything had been arranged. A car would pick her up from home. There was no need to return to school.A cold shiver ran down Eden's spine. They knew where she lived. They'd been watching all along. Not just the school—they were everywhere.Eden didn't linger at school. Outside the entrance, the main topic of conversation was the officials' arrival for an investigation and the school's public exposure.Everyone knew the cafeteria was a mess. Students had complained countless times, but each time inspectors came, the food improved just long enough to pass the checks. Then it would all revert. It had become the norm—something they were forced to accept.Eden was no different. She just wanted to get home. She needed to see her grandparents. She feared something might happen to them next.Every step on the way home, she stayed alert, scanning her surroundings
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1591 Aria Goes All Out
Eden listened closely, her brow furrowing. Her teacher wasn't speaking Farshyan. School was no longer a safe place, and Eden didn't know who she could trust. Her classmates were too caught up in mocking Aria to notice anything was wrong, all assuming Eden was lucky to have been chosen.She considered calling the police, picking up her phone, but then paused. What could she even say? That there was a mole at school? Her face turned pale as she remembered how close the principal was to influential people. The authorities might not believe her, or worse, they might be involved.Despite the headlines claiming Aria had been arrested, Eden felt a spark of hope. Aria had promised she'd show up if Eden ever needed her. Taking a deep breath, Eden dialed the number Aria had given her.She didn't expect anyone to answer. But then came a cool, familiar voice. "Eden? What's wrong? Did someone give you trouble again?"Eden's heart soared. "You're not arrested! The news is fake, isn't it? I knew
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1590 Someone Believes Aria
Lucas gave Amos a sidelong glance. "In that case, let's do as Mr. Lune suggested—punish everyone involved."Announce to the public that Oakvale Academy will be used as a test case. We'll be conducting surprise inspections in all middle and high schools."As for why Mr. Kelsey encountered two completely different scenes during his visits—well, that's easy to explain." Lucas' gaze swept across the room. "Someone tipped off the school before your visit. If any other school received advance notice, every one of you will be under scrutiny."Though Lucas spoke with a smile, none of the seven present—including the three officials—could return it. The smile, in this context, was more chilling than rage. This was a warning. Amos, in particular, felt deeply unsettled. He had come intending to redirect Lucas' attention away from Oakvale Academy. Instead, the incident had blown up. With public attention turning toward the school, transferring Eden would soon become impossible.Still, Amo
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1589 Perfect Lie
Now that Miguel, who was an expert in covering up, was gone, the long-standing issues in the school were exposed.The group stood frozen as they watched a cafeteria worker pour something into a large pot. A closer look revealed it was leftover mushroom soup. But that wasn't the worst of it. The soup reeked, clearly spoiled, yet it was still being reheated for the students.Things only got worse when they entered the kitchen. Hygiene standards were appalling. Not a single chef wore a mask, and some were even smoking while cooking.Amos' expression darkened immediately, even before Lucas could react.One of the chefs noticed them and slammed his ladle onto the counter. "What are you doing in here? Outsiders aren't allowed in the school—don't you know that?"Unlike other schools, Oakvale Academy had somehow always slipped through the cracks during routine inspections. When required to present something, they staged it well enough to fool a camera.So, the staff never expected a surp
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1588 The Cafeteria
Aria understood that this was all the person could offer. The real mastermind would never reveal himself so easily—not even to his most trusted subordinates.Those in power never needed to explain themselves. Those who understood them would earn their favor; those who didn't were destined to remain at the bottom.Her thoughts raced. She needed hard evidence to capture whoever was behind Amos. Baseless accusations would only alert the enemy and push them deeper into hiding.Allowing herself to be arrested had been part of Aria's plan. She needed the mastermind to lower his guard. After all, she had been too visible in Ludwiten lately. With eyes constantly watching her, she couldn't make any real moves. But she couldn't let the incident at Oakvale Academy go unresolved. Her instincts told her it was the key to everything.Before Philip found his family, she had to act—and that meant changing her identity to save Even.Just then, the person's phone buzzed. He turned the screen towa

"Boss!" Weston rushed over the moment he finished dealing with the other officers. Aria arched an eyebrow, flexing her wrists. "He's the mole?""Yes." Weston nodded. The Securities Regulatory Bureau, dispatched by the Securities Regulatory Commission, was tasked with auditing listed companies—particularly sniffing out insider trading and market manipulation.While not everyone in the bureau could be corrupt, it was common for a few to be compromised.The officer who had been interrogating Aria was of a minor rank, but the one Weston had just exposed held real power.Aria looked over at the trembling man. His legs had given out, sending him to the floor. His phone lay discarded beside him as he shook uncontrollably.They had met before—at a Chamber of Commerce meeting. To him, Aria had just been a clever heiress with some market luck, thanks to Landon's influence. No one would have expected her to single-handedly bring down the Draycott family.No one would logically believe
