Chapter 585 She Still Has Me

Author: Night Eleven
When Warren made his announcement, everyone was stunned. The announcement was also the last thing Owen heard before he got dragged away.

Surprisingly, no one objected.

This was Warren's plan all along.

Owen finally understood why Warren had waited so long to announce Aria's return. This wasn't a reunion; it was a trap set for him.

If Warren had announced this a month ago, many shareholders would have opposed it. They favored Owen, who had maintained good relationships with them. However, even disregarding the Grisham family, no one would dare to defy Landon or the York family.

Warren had hidden his trump card well, using it against Owen.

Did Warren not see Owen as his son? Why didn't Warren hand over the company to him?

Warren had remained guarded, refusing to step down even when ill. Yet, the moment Aria returned, Warren handed the company to her.

It was clear Warren had no faith in him.

Even knowing that today's events would completely cut off Owen's chances of inheriti

    Aria decided to talk to Verona later.The others present all raised their glasses. "Congratulations to Aria Carver, the new head of Carver Group!"As the host applauded, every spotlight focused on Aria. She was undoubtedly the most striking person in the room. Information about the new head of Carver Group had also become one of the most searched topics. Although no photos were released, news about Carver Group occupied all news sites' headlines in the business segment.Many wealthy young ladies sneered at Aria after learning of her background, assuming she was an unsophisticated country girl clueless about fashion and luxury—nothing compared to them.They were certain she'd embarrass herself at the banquet and that Landon would surely dismiss her.They even schemed a few pranks, eager to ridicule her and enforce the unspoken rules of their social circle.What they didn't expect was that three of her six brothers would attend the banquet solely for her. Even Landon, typically s

    Running a company wasn't something to be taken lightly. Most heirs were groomed from a young age or had a business school background.Though they were familiar faces in Janovin's social circles, the socialites and debutantes weren't necessarily equipped to manage a company.Regardless, Warren had publicly handed the reins to Aria. The employees would now have to pledge their loyalty to her.…The hall buzzed with activity as people surrounded Aria, eager to engage with her, especially since Landon was by her side."Are you feeling confident in your management of the company, Ms. Carver?""What's your take on the recent trends in venture capital investment in foreign markets, Ms. Carver?"They peppered her with questions, including those about the ongoing wars overseas that would impact the economy. The corporate crowd often discussed these topics at such events.Aria pulled Landon over and replied politely, "My fiancé will handle your questions."She then moved to leave, but L

    Owen had believed that Fiona's discomfort was simply due to her heightened sensitivity during pregnancy.Fiona couldn't pinpoint why Dorothy made her uneasy. Dorothy had been a loyal and efficient worker for the Carvers for years, always attentive to Fiona's needs. Yet, Fiona discovered that Dorothy had been plotting behind her back. This realization strengthened Fiona's resolve to investigate Dorothy further.Her family had never truly approved of her marriage to Owen; their approval came later, only through their benevolence. Fiona had been content after her marriage until Aria's kidnapping and Mindy's arrival disrupted her life.Waymond had advised Fiona to be more cautious, suspecting Owen's involvement. She had failed to control her emotions during their confrontation, much like she had just now when she spaced out.Fiona understood why her family was disappointed with her. Still, she felt regretful and sad when Richard and Waymond didn't show up today. Aria was reclaiming

    "We weren't good sons either," Leon said, jabbing at himself. "Do I take after Dad in this? Why did I not visit you even when I thought everything was strange? You were suffering, and yet I let that scheming bitch stay! Not to mention how I was just pitying her moments ago! Damn it! Something's wrong with my genes!"With the businessmen now focused on Landon, Aria glanced at Leon curiously and asked, "You felt sympathy for her?"Leon rushed to explain, "Believe me, Aria, I'm completely on your side!""How did you find yourself pitying her?" Aria asked, indifferent to whose side Leon was on, as she knew him well enough. "Oh," Leon said with the airs of a popular idol. "Rationally, I hate her, but a ridiculous voice in my head tells me that I should do something when she's wronged. It is also telling me that she's pitiful and that I should help her. I can't control it.""She looked like Aria when she was younger," Percy suddenly said. "However, we don't habitually pity someone else

  • The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 590 The Pendant

    The pendant, a small wooden lotus flower, was unremarkable at first glance. Unlike typical accessories, it was crafted from willow wood, not cherry.Most people would overlook the pendant on the chain. If not for Verona's identity, Aria might have missed it too. Verona, an artist known for her unique style, typically avoided wooden pendants with her attire and preferred Nobeetan art, which rarely featured lotus flowers."Wait," Aria called out after her. Verona looked back immediately, surprise in her eyes. As long as Aria wanted her to stay, she would have cause to hope.Fiona found that strange, though. She knew Aria quite well, and her daughter was not one to have someone else stay without reason. "What's wrong, Aria?" Fiona asked so as to make it easier for Aria who might want to ask Verona something. Aria smiled. Her mother knew her well. "I want to look at the pendant you're wearing, Ms. Ander. It looks great and is reminiscent of period fashion. It will inspire my futur

  • The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 591 The Concoction of Death

    Aria scrutinized the pendant with a wary eye. Since ancient times, accessories crafted from willow had been deemed ill-suited for human use. The willow's drooping leaves had long been associated with death and sorrow, often planted in cemeteries and featured on gravestones in the southern regions of Farshya.For a lotus pendant, a symbol of peace and purity, oak or mahogany would be the preferred woods, with poplar as a secondary choice if the others were unavailable. Willow was never considered—its use in crafting was said to herald disaster or summon malevolent spiritsThe lotus pattern on this pendant was unsettling, twisted in a manner that provoked unease in those who gazed upon it.Tobias had once told her that there were countless Pristine deities. To follow the Pristine religion, one needed to be certain of their devotion to a genuine, legitimate figure. The Pristine religion and its myths originated from Durin, a land with a deep history, where some illegitimate figures

    Why had Mindy given her such a sinister pendant? What was she plotting? Verona's back was drenched with cold sweat, and a chill shot up her spine. She didn't keep anything from Aria, asking her directly, "Hypothetically, just hypothetically, what would happen if someone was sniffing this blend for a long time?""This concoction impacts both your physique and spirit, and you'll eventually get addicted to it," Aria said seriously, "You'll gradually become the most loyal believer ever, and you'll lose the ability to form your own opinions about certain matters."Verona's clutch fell to the ground with a thud. Suddenly, everything started to fall into place. Mindy had approached her deliberately. Knowing Verona's struggles with sleep and her desire for Fiona's recovery, Mindy manipulated the situation to make Verona gradually accept her.However, Mindy was only nine years old when that happened.Verona's first reaction was that there was a misunderstanding. However, when she met Ar

    "It's not that serious yet." Aria tossed the necklace to Sam. "The adverse effects tend to manifest themselves gradually. I'll go to your house and see what's happening."Sam liked the pendant. The black fog smelled tasty, but he couldn't eat it because Aria forbade him. He was fine with it, though, because the beef at the buffet tasted great too. Sam decided he shouldn't make any more excessive demands, for his salary would be cut, and he would be forcibly sent to school. So, Sam behaved better than ever.…Aria hadn't realized the full extent of Verona's situation, but now that she was aware, she thought it best to investigate. More importantly, she might be able to discern Mindy's school of thought from the items at Verona's place.She hadn't forgotten the important information Nyx had given her. She had Landon take note of the CCTV footage. She wanted a comprehensive list of whoever had entered the room at around half past eight, including the waiting staff.Landon didn't as

    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. "
