Semua Bab The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call: Bab 1541 - Bab 1550

Lily fell silent, eyeing Aria warily. She hadn't expected Aria to bring up the Wagner family, especially since she had revealed nothing about them. Logically, Aria shouldn't have even noticed the family's existence. Lily's eyes darted around as she prepared to lie, but before she could, Aria let out a sudden chuckle that made Lily's fear intensify.A chill ran down Lily's spine. She didn't dare deceive Aria. The more she met Aria's gaze, the more she felt like her thoughts were being laid bare."The Wagner family used to be insignificant," Lily started, her voice tight. "They were never considered one of the top families in Janovin, only sub-par. But…"She paused, biting her lip as she gathered her thoughts."In my past life, the Wagner family became the biggest winner. After the Carver Group went under, they took over."Everyone thought they were just humble and polite. No one considered them a threat. But once they settled in Janovin, they expanded rapidly into the southern ma

Aria walked over and spoke coldly. "We're only getting involved because he's from the state government."If Lily had heard this in the past, she would have dismissed it as a bluff. But now, with Aria's secret as leverage, Lily made a chilling realization—the current Aria was far more dangerous than the one she once knew.Despite being reincarnated, Lily couldn't predict Aria's fate. Aria was the one person Lily couldn't figure out—she only knew the outcome of the past version of Aria. The woman standing before her was a stranger, someone Lily couldn't foresee.A dark thought struck Lily as she took a step back, an awful suspicion settling in. Aria was behind the upheaval in the Carver, York, and Ludwiten business circles, as well as the Hornwell Gold stocks. It was Aria's presence that had disrupted events that should have unfolded differently.The realization made Lily break into a cold sweat. She looked at Aria with fear, and Aria, sensing her unease, felt there was no need to

"Scholarship program?" Aria asked as her eyes lit up for a moment. Anyone who knew her would realize she had just figured something out, though a few small pieces of the puzzle were still missing. Lily didn't catch on and thought Aria was confused, just like she was. "I have no idea how Orion Draycott used this scholarship thing to become the Chamber of Commerce president. "It should only boost his image instead of doubling his profits. Besides, there are so many billionaires in the Chamber, including elite families like the Grishams. "Even if the Grishams fell from grace, someone else should've stepped up. But somehow the Draycott family has been running the show in Ludwiten these past few years. That's exactly the ending I saw in my past life." Lily resented Orion right now. After all, he had nearly beaten her to death with everyone watching. She was now in a miserable state and was hated by everyone. Though part of that was Aria's doing, Orion had certainly contributed m

With the help of scholarships, plenty of students had managed to finish school overseas and land jobs at big companies. Eden hoped that once she grew up, she could take care of her grandparents. After all, her grandfather needed medicine year-round and was still trying to cover her school costs. She figured if she could start making money, her grandfather wouldn't have to work so hard anymore. The kinder the child, the less they would understand how cruel people could be. At the same time, Aria didn't leave the villa after meeting with Lily. She needed to get ahead of the information Lily had shared. After Lily was taken away, Simon, who hadn't said a word until now, spoke up, "Boss, we can't let this epidemic happen. I'll check customs again and look at everyone and everything that's come into the country lately." Simon's gift was his incredible memory. In any crowd, he could pick someone out after just one glance. Hearing his words, Aria looked up. "Customs is a dead end.

"Are we here?" Aria asked as she raised an eyebrow. Nyx immediately bounced up beside her. "Yes! We're here!" Then, it suddenly stopped. "Wait a second, my lord! Don't look yet!" Aria caught something in its tone. "What is it? Are there more paintings? Is the manifestation not over yet?" "There are no more paintings. It's just something else." Nyx's gaze fell to the ground, hesitating. "Maybe you should prepare yourself first." Aria didn't hesitate. She pulled the silk scarf from her eyes and looked down at her feet. Nyx was ready to act—if Aria showed even a hint of fear, it'd toss whatever this thing was into the nearby pool. While arcane seekers might not fear spirits like him, seeing the dead in this state might be too much even for them. But Aria merely narrowed her eyes as she crouched down quickly. Using the scarf to protect her hand, she turned the body over. She knew this man too well. With a head full of white hair, he was over a hundred years old and had age
