Elijah said after pondering, "Oh, right. Fanny did introduce me to a fortune-teller.""Fortune-teller?" Aria reacted quickly. "Who?"Elijah chuckled. "I didn't ask her. She said he was useful and encouraged me to seek for him. You know I stay away from this kind of thing after what happened to Dad."The Carver family had never believed in superstitions, and Elijah's disinterest was clear as he spoke. Aria tapped on her Charm Coin. To revive the wooden doll, one needed not only the wooden doll's replica but also the help of a powerful fortune-teller. There was no way Owen would tell the truth. Even after being taken away, he kept his mouth shut. After all, he hadn't done anything illegal, so he was released after some questioning.The people watching Owen reported that he seemed well-behaved, while Warren's health seemed to be in tip-top condition.Aria had investigated Mindy and confirmed she had nothing to do with Warren's health deterioration. As for Owen, she continued to p
"However, Elara was still talking when Elijah was there. The staff who switched off the light could prove that. It's strange, though. How could someone still speak when they're dead…"Aaron trailed off, realizing how stupid he sounded. The SMU was there to solve supernatural cases like this one. This was probably routine for them.Aaron let out a sigh. "Even your brother said she was wide awake when he saw her. She was no different from when she was on set. This confused all of my subordinates. But now that I think about it, their conversation was quite weird."Aria's gaze darkened. "What do you mean?""Elara kept trying to borrow something from Elijah, but Fanny never said what it was," Aaron said.Aria looked up. "Did my brother agree to lend her?""Nope." Aaron froze. "He couldn't have, right?"Aria replied, "It would have been a problem if he had.""Don't worry. I read your brother's statement. He's very smart," Aaron said, silently vowing to be cautious too. If someone eve
Elijah wasn't feeling great in the car, and it only took Aria one glance to tell that he was running a fever.Theo was anxious and wanted to take him to the hospital. "What should we do? I can't get in touch with a doctor. Boss, should we cancel tomorrow's magazine interview?""Didn't you say they were anxious and wanted me to show up and put an end to all the rumors?" Elijah coughed, his breathing labored. "We'll go as planned."As Theo continued his call, Aria placed a finger on Elijah's wrist. "You haven't been resting and have been under immense pressure. That's why you got a cold."Theo paused, while Elijah met Aria's eyes. Aria chuckled. "I think Grandpa might have told you I'm a traditional medicine doctor.""He did." Elijah smiled dotingly. "It's just that I forgot under my feverish state."From the back seat, Percy, who'd just finished replying to emails, chimed in, "Aria, check mine too. Grandpa said you're the best doctor he's ever seen."Aria took the opportunity,
Just as Warren was worrying about his grandsons' relationship, a shocking piece of news hit the internet out of nowhere and went viral."An award-winning actor is secretly married with a child!""Who is the woman and the young boy who got into his car?""Award-winning actor is revealed to have relied on a woman to become famous!"When Theo saw the news, he was smiling happily. However, he was left dumbfounded when he received a call from a brand. "Is this what you mean by everything's fine? Go and take a look at what's happening on the internet!"Panic set in as Theo quickly realized something had gone wrong. He rushed to the fan pages and found fans vowing to stop supporting Elijah.As the car pulled up to the Carver residence, Theo turned to Elijah in haste. "Boss, Ms. Carver's been caught by the paparazzi!"Theo handed his phone over to Elijah. The latter frowned after seeing that. Since he was still having a fever, he decided to log into his account and make a statement.
Compared to news about secretly getting married and having children, this news was better.Despite her numerous years in the entertainment industry, Lyla was still stunned. After all, everyone had been interested in Elijah's family, but he had never revealed it.Aria was even more amazing. Lyla had never seen an outsider in the industry who knew how to utilize public opinion to their advantage. If they had just announced Elijah as a member of the Carver family, perhaps they wouldn't have achieved the same effect. However, it would be the best moment now! Everyone's attention was focused on Elijah's scandal. Once the company announced Elijah's identity and that he'd already signed up with the Carver Group, its stocks would skyrocket!Although Lyla had only known Aria for one short day, the latter had surprised her more than once. Lyla had a hunch that Aria would bring Carver Group to greater heights as its successor. This was what insiders would think. However, those who didn't
Theo, who'd tagged along to join the meeting, could barely control his facial expressions. How amazing was that? However, he had to consider the reality. "Ms. Carver, wouldn't that provoke them?"Aria shot this question to the PR department. "Is our company afraid to provoke them?""Of course not!" The person in charge of the PR department kept wiping his sweat. "Ms. Carver, I'll handle it right away!"Aria twirled her pen. "After you expose all of his scandals, you don't need to care about anything else. Get every company under our group to repost Elijah's post with the same message.""Okay. About that…" The person in charge stopped for a moment. "Ms. Carver, what message do you think would be the best?"Aria stopped twirling her pen. "Nothing too complicated. Just welcome him home.""Okay!" The PR manager's face lit up with excitement. Theo, sitting nearby, couldn't help but feel the same.He and Elijah had relied solely on the connections they'd built over the years, carefull
Ever since Owen humiliated himself at the shareholders' meeting, he stopped hiding his true self.Sitting across from him, Ian toyed with his crystal beads. His gray hair made him look weary. "Owen, you're not right to say that. Aria is still your daughter.""I treated her as my daughter, but did she ever treat me as her father?" Owen fumed. "Uncle Ian, you saw what happened at the banquet. "Fiona hasn't contacted me since then. She is set on getting a divorce. And my father? Even worse. He never intended to hand the company to me. He even teamed up with his granddaughter to teach me a lesson!"Ian shook his head, helpless in the face of Owen's stubbornness. "You should consider your position. Back then, you didn't try to get your sons on your side because they weren't close to you."But think about the shares they hold and their status in their respective fields, including Leon. Stop belittling his career." Ian took a sip of his coffee.It seemed like Owen was in control, but h
Upon hearing Ian's words, Owen fell silent. Ian's remarks reminded him that he needed to take action and change the current situation.Ian glanced at him. "Everyone is watching you right now. You should mind your words.""Uncle Ian, I understand." Owen took a sip of his coffee unhappily.Ian sighed and softened his tone. "I've always wanted us to be a happy family. Sometimes, I think back on that old prediction. I didn't believe it then, but with everything that's happened, it's hard to ignore."However, you need to realize that not many people will understand or stand in your shoes when it comes to superstitions. You're lucky a few shareholders do. They've been through enough to believe in fate."Owen felt a wave of relief at his uncle's words. He poured a fresh cup of coffee for Ian. "I get it. I also know some of them are pretending not to believe, just to form alliances.""It's good you see that. As for Aria, she's still young. It's normal for people her age to dismiss the id
