Chapter 772 She Deserved It

Author: Night Eleven
Lorna was obviously panicking. She didn't know how the authorities had managed to unearth her participation in certain demonstrations.

Lorna was from Chershia, which was connected to another city outside the mainland through a bridge.

Hornwell was known for its elite universities. Lorna had joined at first because she wanted to assimilate herself into the local community, but she later realized that the students there were way more progressive than those on the mainland.

She joined demonstrations and protests but was quickly stopped by her grandfather who learned about it.

No one could have found information on that, surely!

Lorna told herself to calm down. Everything would be resolved nicely once her grandpa arrived.

Wayne Chester—Lorna's maternal grandfather—worked in one of the first government-backed companies, which made him very well-connected. The Chesters also owned assets worth an enormous sum of money.

Lorna hadn't done anything that problematic; she'd just given

    Georgina shook her head with a smile. "I'm aware of my own condition, but I still wish to see the two of you get married."Upon hearing that, Aria and Landon exchanged a glance. Landon spoke. "We'll get married once we finish dealing with the matters at hand. I'll make it the grandest ceremony in Janovin, with all the proper traditions in place."Georgina smiled and nodded. "Good. I'll be waiting for that day."Aria looked at the gray strands in Georgina's hair and the lines on her face before saying, "Grandma, I heard that Paragon Group wants to redevelop Clearwater Alley."Georgina's smile faltered. She sighed and nodded, a trace of helplessness in her voice. "You're right. Someone came and notified us a few days ago."Paragon Group wants to turn this place into a high-end residential area, so we were ordered to move out as soon as possible. They even got government approval for the redevelopment."Georgina paused for a moment before continuing, "Paragon Group is quite influe

    "Thank you, Ms. Carver." Zuko stood there, completely at a loss. Aria said slowly, "I won't make a move on Yost Group for now. But someone like you should have access to Sonia, right?"Zuko paused for a moment before replying, "I saw her fairly often six months ago, but I rarely see her now. The company is fully managed by Mr. Klein now, so he's the one I usually work with."Aria smiled. "Mr. Klein? So was he the one who ordered you all to redevelop Clearwater Alley?"Zuko neither nodded nor shook his head. "I'm not too sure. I only know the order came from the higher-ups, and we were told to carry it out."Aria nodded. "Got it."Zuko's face was still pale. "Ms. Carver, I'll take my leave now."Aria spoke. "Okay. Be more careful with your investments going forward. If something like this happens again under my watch, I can't guarantee what will happen to Yost Group."Zuko nodded. "Don't worry. I'll be more vigilant and make sure nothing like this happens again."Aria waved he

    A sleek black Maybach rolling up interrupted their conversation. Its luxurious outlook and the elite Janovin plate made it clear the car didn't belong in this small town. The car rolled to a stop at the side of the junction. When the driver opened the door, a man dressed in a tailored suit stepped out. He looked to be about 30 years old with slicked-back hair. His gold-rimmed glasses highlighted the hard gleam in his eyes, sharpened by years of power and influence.His gaze swept over the groaning men on the ground and the slumped Braxton before finally landing on Aria.Aria was wearing simple streetwear, yet her presence was anything but ordinary. Something in her unreadable eyes carried a quiet pressure that unsettled him.Still, he reminded himself that he was in Southbury, not Janovin. This tiny town wasn't supposed to have anyone capable of shaking things up.The man was none other than an important higher-up sent from Yost Group in Janovin—Zuko Wadsworth. Naturally, he wa

    Although Aria's voice wasn't loud, it carried a significant weight. Braxton paused before turning to look at her with a gloomy expression. "What else do you want? I already paid up, and I'm even letting it slide that you somehow made my whole body go weak just now. Don't go too far. I'm the CEO of Paragon Group. You can't afford to waste my time."With a snicker, Aria glanced at the cash on the floor. "Money? Do you think that a few stacks of bills can be exchanged for his life?"She paused before continuing, "Besides, what you did just now wasn't an accident. It was an assault. Do you really believe that having Paragon Group behind you puts you above the law?"Braxton snorted arrogantly. "Listen, sweetheart. In Southbury, nothing and no one is beyond my reach. So, do yourselves a favor and step aside. Otherwise, you won't even get the chance to leave once my men arrive."After that, he turned to Landon and threatened, "Did I stutter earlier? I told you to get lost. Apologize now

    Warren did not insist. "Okay, then. You and Landon should head out now."Landon and Aria rose from their seats at the same time. After saying their goodbyes, they walked toward the car that was waiting for them.Warren watched them leave. "Don is a great kid—he's so much better than Titus. Makes you wonder how a guy like Titus could raise a grandson like Don."Standing next to Warren, Fiona had a faint smile on her face. "Dad, Landon and Aria are a match made in heaven. They're both good-looking and talented."Warren grinned. "Yeah. All I need is for Don to appreciate Aria and look after her."Fiona gave him a light pat on the back. "You promised her you'd live long. You can't walk back on that."…Landon and Aria sat in the back of the vehicle that slowly drove toward Clearwater Alley.Staring at her, he slid a hand through her hair. "Looks like I need to put in more effort to win over your brothers."That put a smile on her face. "Indeed. The six of them couldn't be more dif

    The Krowonian doll had planned to possess Hedeon so it could get closer to Landon and get rid of him. Upon second thought, it thought it'd be better to feed on a few more souls, as its power had not been fully restored.Hedeon nodded heavily. "Sure, Almighty One! I'll get some young women for you. I will do what you ask.""Leave.""Yes, Almighty One." Hedeon bowed before leaving.He did not want to stay any longer, as he didn't want to end up like Katarina, whose body was still on the floor.He gently closed the basement door behind him, careful not to disturb the doll.The weight lifted off his shoulders when he took a whiff of the fresh air. All his worries seemed to vanish. He straightened his clothes and made his way to his room.…The next morning, the gentle rays of sunlight streamed into Aria's bedroom at the Carver residence through the mesh curtains, forming a pool of white on the floorboards. The mix of smells—a light floral scent and the clean, crisp scent of sun-bak
