The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 810 Defeat Them
For a long time, people who were more educated used their knowledge to look down on those less educated, as if being well-read made them inherently superior. Yet, many of them owed their education to their parents' hard work.Knowledge was never meant to be a tool for bullying the weak.However, times have changed, and so have people's mindsets.Dylan shook his head politely. "Youngsters today can't handle a bit of advice. I don't mean any harm by it. You should just focus on proving me wrong, right? No need to get angry."Dylan then glanced at Mindy helplessly. "I don't understand the entertainment industry. Did I say something wrong?"Mindy gently tugged at Dylan's sleeve. "Mr. Soller, let's just focus on our own matters. I know how much you care about cultural relics, and I share your frustration about people taking advantage of them."But there's been a misunderstanding. I'm sure everyone here has the same good intentions in mind for participating in this show."Mindy even g
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 811 First Item
The production team was well aware of the audience's opinions, but they couldn't help but respect Aria. Though Dylan claimed to have a deep appreciation for antiques, his combative stance toward Aria suggested he was more interested in the attention. Yet, for the sake of the show's ratings, the production team had no choice but to invite someone like him. The show's host, Melody, quickly diffused the tension. "It's normal to have disagreements when analyzing artifacts. Don't take it too personally, Mr. Soller. Sometimes, young people understand more than we expect."She continued smoothly, "Let's not keep the audience waiting. I know the audience is just as excited about the appraisal! Let's begin with the first item on my left, a stunning wooden statue of Maelis from the 10th century. And with that, let the auction commence!"Excitement filled the studio as the show kicked off."Can anyone tell if this Maelis is genuine?""The first item is usually authentic.""Look! Mr. Soll
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 812 Bid on the Second Item
When Dylan saw the next item, he chuckled and confidently announced, "It's a finely crafted contemporary cigar glass. I'd definitely add it to my collection if I saw it elsewhere."After his words, everyone knew the item must be a fake. The colorful cigar glass and its lifelike design made one look at it more.However, this was an artifact evaluation contest; not everything was valuable enough to warrant a bid. Mindy smiled without raising her paddle. She could sense the fortune behind the artifact and recognize its authenticity by examining its texture. Those familiar with the antique world knew that genuine items never looked so new.The other team hesitated, but they slowly lowered their hands when they noticed no one bidding. Everyone assumed the second item would go without a bid. Melody was ready to move on to the third item when, unexpectedly, Aria raised her paddle and said calmly, "We'd like to bid on the second item, please."Dylan sneered inwardly. Leon's sister, jus
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 813 All In
Owen had completely forgotten that he was Aria's father. He was obsessed with regaining control of the Carver Group and restoring his pride, so he was willing to watch Aria humiliate herself if it meant achieving his goals.It wasn't entirely Owen's fault—he'd long believed that Aria brought him nothing but bad luck. But Aria saw right through his schemes. A cold smile crept onto her lips as she spoke, "Leon, it seems Mr. Carver still hasn't learned his lesson. How about we give him an unforgettable experience?"Initially, Aria had no ill feelings toward Owen. But that was before she remembered how he had verbally torn into Leon and Fiona in her dreams, betraying the Carver family to sell out their generations of hard work to the Krowonians.Her anger only grew as she recalled how Owen had contributed to Warren's decline, eventually leading to his death. Owen didn't deserve to be part of the Carver family at all.When Aria narrowed her gaze, Leon could feel the intensity that oth
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 814 Securing Screen Time for Mindy
As Melody turned to reveal the details of the first antique, it became clear that, as predicted by most, the item was a fake. However, due to its association with a reputable family, it held value as a collectible. As expected, the other two teams scored two points, while Aria's team remained stagnant—solidifying suspicions that she was out of her depth and more interested in fame than competition.Dylan chuckled, his voice laced with amusement. "Oops, looks like the youngsters got their first antique wrong. Does this mean the amount they bet should be nullified?"A zero score would eliminate Leon from the competition, and his fans were baffled by Aria's actions. As Leon's sister, she had the chance to play her cards carefully. Even with her limited education, she should have known better. Instead, her recklessness was dragging Leon down—was she trying to help him gain even more haters?Dylan took pleasure in putting cocky youngsters in their place, particularly idols who relied o
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 815 Reason for Bidding
Sitting in the VIP section, Don couldn't hold back and leaped to his feet. "What a load of nonsense! She's spouting complete rubbish! Where did you find this so-called cultural relic restorer? Aspiring, my foot! Who taught her to identify artifacts by staring at the artwork and guessing its era?"The audience knew nothing about his outburst, but the cameras caught every moment. The director quickly sensed what was happening and tried to calm Don. "Mr. Hendricks, take a breath. There are knowledgeable people here. Leon's team will set things straight."It took nearly five people to stop Don from storming the stage. He clenched his fists, realizing the advice was sound—maybe it was better to let Aria handle it.Melody took the stage and glanced at Dylan. "Mr. Soller, do you share the same assessment?"Dylan was brimming with confidence. "Mindy speaks for me.""Alright, that's their reasoning for not bidding. Let's hear why you're bidding," Melody smiled, turning to Leon and Aria.
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 816 The Second Item is Authentic
The guests' reactions were clearly visible on the screen, and Dylan was no exception. When the audience saw his nervousness, they exchanged glances."No way. Could she be right?""I don't think so. How could an idol's family member know anything about cultural relics? She's just bluffing about it being from the 17th century. If it's truly valuable, it would be documented in books."Stubborn people like them would never accept reality unless they were proven wrong.Mindy also sensed something was off. Just as she was about to defend herself, the screen lit up again. It was too late.The ink painting displayed a cigar glass in a glass case. As the ink swirled, the piece's origins were revealed.According to legend, a foreign envoy visited Farshya in the late 17th century and was captivated by the region's craftsmanship, which was considered among the best in the world at that time. An expert immortalized the envoy's likeness in the cigar glass.It really was from the 17th century!
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 817 Humiliated
Aria looked up calmly. "I didn't want to take it this far, but Mr. Soller, I think it's time your credentials are questioned." Dylan's face twisted in fury. "What do you mean by that?"Aria flashed a sly grin. "Exactly what I said."Mindy quickly tried to de-escalate the situation. "Aria, we're filming a show. Please show some respect for your seniors."Aria shot her a cold glance. "Seniors? Whose seniors? Yours? That explains a lot. Birds of a feather, I suppose."Dylan, fuming, turned to Melody. "This is too much! I'm refusing to participate if she's still on the show. Deal with this. I don't understand why you'd invite someone so arrogant, especially someone who doesn't even have a degree. Or is it because her brother's a famous idol? Ridiculous!"Dylan was certain the production team would side with him. His status alone made that seem inevitable.Melody, caught off guard by the escalation, was about to intervene when Aria spoke again. "Mr. Soller, don't get so heated. It's

The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1184 Arriving in Ludwiten
From the revelation of Leon's true identity to the announcement of his new project with Elijah, it was clear he was about to join an elite production team—a dream for any actor.This team's success stemmed from its screenwriter, a highly skilled individual whose works consistently became massive hits, not only domestically but also internationally. However, the screenwriter was known for their strong opinions and high standards. They weren't swayed by money or connections, making it impossible for capitalists to influence casting decisions.In short, the screenwriter held absolute authority over their work, which made it all the more surprising that Leon, a relatively inexperienced actor, had been chosen.Clary found herself reflecting on this peculiar situation. She had always believed that Leon's priority was to complete his current project, yet she had been easily swayed by the opinions of others. Perhaps it was because she had long been curious about the person who had made Leon
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1183 Inviting the Carver Family
The more one cared about someone, the less one would want to know about them. After all, as long as one pretended the person didn't exist, it wouldn't hurt.Watching Fiona walk away, her figure growing distant, Alaric made a call. "Tell the Draycott family I'll be at the Chamber of Commerce tomorrow."The voice on the other end sounded surprised. "Yes, boss."Alaric smiled, his tone shifting. "On the condition that they invite the Carver family."The person hesitated, clearly stunned. "I-Invite the Carvers to the Chamber of Commerce?""Is that difficult?" Alaric asked coolly, his slender fingers absently twirling the ring with his family crest. "The Carver family is arriving soon, isn't it? It shouldn't be hard for the Draycott family to extend an invitation.""Well... Boss, I don't think it's a good idea to invite them. Many of the members are opposed to them. The Draycott family—"Alaric interrupted before the person could finish. "If the Draycott family doesn't agree, forget
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1182 Unforgettable
When Alaric suggested having a meal with Fiona, the driver was astonished. It was completely unlike anything he had ever known about Alaric over the years. Even more unbelievable to the driver was the fact that there could be a woman in Ludwiten who would reject Alaric.When the car came to a stop, Fiona responded to Alaric, "I don't understand why Owen is involved in this. I'm sure we both know why you approached me."She continued, "I know the Sloane family wields enough influence to shape many things. The market in Ludwiten is small, and many people don't want the Carver family to have a share. But I'm not the weak link you're looking for. You've got the wrong person."With that, Fiona swiftly exited the car. The driver was taken aback. Despite Fiona's delicate appearance, she acted with decisive resolve, without hesitation.The car remained stationary after she left. Although Alaric appeared indifferent, his eyes betrayed his displeasure, as if the meeting he had carefully
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1181 Help Fiona
"Soup?" Fiona hesitated, realizing Alaric was serious. After a moment, she replied, "I'm afraid I don't have time today. I need to pick someone up from the train later."Upon hearing that, Alaric smiled. "Who's so important?""My daughter." Fiona's tone softened as she mentioned Aria, her gaze turning gentle.Alaric studied her intently before saying, "You really do seem like a mother. It's almost unthinkable."Fiona chuckled, finding his comment odd. "Well, I am a mother."Alaric looked away indifferently. "I never expected you to adapt to motherhood and marriage so well. My impression of you was that you'd never let yourself be held back by trivial matters as such."Fiona frowned. "My daughter isn't a trivial matter."Her voice carried a trace of displeasure. Nobody could truly understand what Aria's return meant to her. She felt a deep sense of responsibility—not just toward her daughter but also toward her sons.Alaric glanced at his hands, a faint trace of mockery in his v
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1180 His Intentions
Contrary to the driver's expectations, Fiona remained unnervingly calm, as though everything was perfectly normal. Her beauty was striking, paired with an air of delicate indifference that belied her age. Especially her eyes—pure and unguarded when her gaze lingered. Yet, temperament was not so easily concealed. The driver could tell that Fiona was no naïve woman. She was a sheltered, affluent woman from a prestigious family. But didn't Alaric disdain women like her the most? Why, then, had Alaric asked him to stop the car from a distance?Perplexed, the driver kept glancing at Fiona.Her hair, still damp from the relentless rain, clung to her neck. She turned deliberately, avoiding Alaric's side. "Is there any tissue in the car?""Yes." Alaric chuckled, pulling out a few tissues and handing them to her.The driver frowned, finding Alaric's obliging demeanor uncharacteristic.As Fiona wiped her hair, she inadvertently exposed the curve of her neck—graceful, like a swan's. Its
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1179 Don't Marry Him
Alaric Sloane's figure remained as fit as ever, especially compared to his peers. However, he had traded his signature red suit for a more mature dark gray. His demeanor had shifted too—there was an air of indifference in his gaze, a far cry from the carefree man he once was.A laptop rested on his lap as he worked. The light illuminated his sharp features, making him appear serious and composed. He no longer resembled the reckless man of the past.Fiona froze. The last time she saw Alaric was at her wedding. That day, the free-spirited man had called her during her wedding banquet, standing amidst the crowd. His voice had been teasing, laced with the unmistakable slur of alcohol."Hey, listen to me—don't marry him. Look at me. If you agree, I'll stop the wedding right now."At that time, Alaric still wasn't that fluent in Farshyan. Having grown up overseas, his accent gave him a polished, foreign charm. His classmates used to joke that it made him seem like a gentleman from abro
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1178 Running Into Him
The entertainment industry was a place where people could rise quickly. It was a world where words could be tailored to suit different audiences, where alliances were formed with the popular, and enemies were kept in check before they could make a name for themselves.On the surface, everyone seemed friendly, but beneath the smiles, subtle rivalries festered.Back then, Fiona wouldn't have noticed such dynamics. She had never been interested in competing with other women, even in school. The term "female competition" hadn't existed in her vocabulary. Fiona simply wasn't concerned with who stood out in the crowd, so she remained unaware of the unspoken tensions around her.But now, things were different. After years of observing the entertainment industry, Fiona had become attuned to the subtle games people played. Every word Priscilla had spoken earlier had an underlying agenda.It was then that Fiona realized how much time had changed everyone. She could barely recognize the wom
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1177 A Girl Died
Priscilla, it seemed, embodied the capitalist archetype that online critics often despised—one who saw people as mere tools for profit. Her approach to problems was straightforward, ruthless, and without compassion.She had used unapproved injections to boost her earnings, and now, when things went wrong, she wanted to shift the blame onto unsuspecting individuals.The girl's parents, though devastated, were not asking for much. They simply wanted their daughter's suffering to end and for Priscilla to cover the basic medical costs. But Priscilla wasn't concerned with such matters. The success of her medispa in Ludwiten wasn't due to any sense of ethics—it was built on ambition and exploitation.If Priscilla agreed to treat one person's botched surgery, it would open the door to countless others. She couldn't afford to make exceptions; these "victims" would only try to take advantage of her.At that moment, Priscilla reclined in the lounge, a face mask on, preparing for a full-bod
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1176 Treating the Poor Like Dirt
Back then, a rumor circulated that everyone desired the Grisham family's daughter. Audriana had thought it was an exaggeration. After all, no matter how beautiful a woman was, she would inevitably age. Fiona, no matter how stunning, would eventually face the same fate.However, Audriana had come to realize that some people could indeed look like fairies. Yet, she couldn't show her envy, as Priscilla was still watching her."Why do I think she looks so average? She's not nearly as ladylike as you, Priscilla," Audriana flattered her.Priscilla merely gave her a passing glance. "You don't have to try to flatter me. I don't care about that. With plastic surgery so common these days, I can have any appearance I want."What's important is for a woman to have her own career. But I have to admit, her face is quite stunning."Otherwise, Fiona wouldn't have remained relevant for so many years. But it didn't matter now. Fiona was already married, with so many children. Once a woman became a
