Aria Carver has never known that she's not related to the Kent family by blood. When her childhood sweetheart and the rest of the world turn on her, the Kent family kicks her out and tells her to search for her biological parents in the hole she'd crawled out from… Aria laughs it off. She's about to stun everyone by revealing her secret identity, but it turns out the "hole" the Kent family had mentioned is actually the richest family in Janovin, the Carver family! Over the course of a single night, she goes from the Kent family's fake daughter, who's despised by everyone, to the actual daughter of the richest man in the country. She also has six brothers who absolutely adore her! Her eldest brother is a domineering president. "Let's pause the meeting right here. Get me a ticket back to the country—I wanna see who are the people who have the nerve to bully my sister!" Her second-eldest brother is a famous celebrity. "Cancel the function. I'm gonna take my sister home right now." Her third-eldest brother is a god in his industry. "Postpone the competition. Nothing's more important than my sister." This rocks the country! The Kent family regrets every wrong move they make, and Aria's childhood sweetheart tries to win her back. But before she can reject him, Landon York, the president of York Group and the son of the renowned York family, proposes to her. It makes her the talk of the town!
Voir plusAsher couldn't stop thinking about his parents. However, due to his current identity, he didn't dare call them. If they found out he was still alive and it ruined Feran's plan, he'd never be able to go back to them. Aria took the phone from him. "Your turn." "Alright, I'll talk." Hope sparked in Asher's eyes. "That story you told earlier—yeah, that was about me. My boss really was going to kill me along with those other nine people. But just as he was about to do it, a man in a black robe appeared with someone else. "He told my boss he'd found the tenth person. That's the only reason my boss let me live. He took my silicone mask and put it on that other man instead. "Soon, he brought me to Portfall after that whole fake death thing." Aria looked up. "Who is he?" "I..." Asher trailed off. "Honestly, I don't know who he is. Everything about him—his build, his looks—it all matches that political leader, Feran Maynard. But the stuff he does behind closed doors is nothing like w
Sam answered Aria, "Mission accepted!" Sam looked thrilled as he stood next to Chauncey. He waved his fist in front of Chauncey's face. Chauncey swallowed hard, clearly terrified. He really had been beaten enough. Ever since he'd started working in Portfall, he'd never met anyone who just started swinging their fists without talking. Everyone who met him always showed respect. Aria smirked a little. "What are you guys planning to do in Portfall?" Right after Aria said that, Sam was already ready to throw his first punch. "Uh..." Chauncey's eyes filled with terror as he stared at Sam's fist. "Don't you already know? Why ask me—" The second he finished, Sam slapped him across his face. "Who said you could talk to my boss like that? Answer whatever she asks!" Chauncey gritted his teeth against the pain. "Gambling, organ trafficking, stirring up chaos in Portfall." "Is that all?" Aria's gaze on him remained calm. "Think harder." Chauncey's eyes widened. There was still th
Meanwhile, a car was parked a few blocks away from the Vanderbilt Hotel. The man inside kept waiting for Chauncey to show up. But after ages of waiting, everyone inside had scattered, and Chauncey never came. Something felt wrong, so he quickly drove away. After a while, the car stopped. He got out and pushed through the door. "Sir, I waited there forever. Chauncey never showed." "What?" Feran turned around. "But Chauncey said he'd hide his identity and put a double on stage. If he didn't meet you, someone probably grabbed him." The man's face changed. "Sir, we need to find him fast. He knows too much. This could get messy." "No rush." Feran clasped his hands behind his back. "Chauncey's important, but not so important that we can't lose him. He finished his job anyway. The stock profits will all hit the offshore accounts." The man's voice dropped. "But he's seen me. We're screwed if he identifies me." Feran waved his hand and produced a mask. "Wear this. Nobody will reco
Aria spoke with a cool and clear voice. "Starting now, the Chamber of Commerce won't be controlled by foreign interests anymore. We're severing all ties with foreign organizations and will no longer provide them with assistance. "That goes for all of you. You're out of the Chamber if you break this rule. "This was my great-grandfather's vision when he founded the Chamber. Everyone should know what lines not to cross. We will never sell out for a quick buck. "There's going to be a major shakeup in Portfall. You'll get to stay in the Chamber if you pass the test. We can all make money together, but only within Farshya." Rollo, Sawyer, and the others backed her up loudly. "Ms. Carver, we're with you all the way!" A few people's faces fell. They'd figured once Chauncey went down, someone else would step up and keep the money flowing. They never expected Aria to cut off their cash cow the second she took charge. "Ms. Carver, I'm surprised that you're already doing this after you
Rollo, Seamus, Turl, and Bram gave a slight bow and said to Aria, "Ms. Carver, sorry we're late." There was a hint of amusement in Aria's eyes. "I'm glad that you're here. The show's just getting started." Rollo nodded and headed straight for Shadrack. "You old bastard, what makes you qualified to be president? You only sit on your ass all day, and you make profits off the port! "You're just a disgusting piece of crap! Now that your boss got dragged off, how dare you think you can take his spot?" "You!" Shadrack pointed at Rollo. "Who the hell do you think you are? You're just some trash that's kicked out of the Chamber!" Rollo didn't even flinch. "You're wrong again. I don't regret leaving the Chamber. I wouldn't even be able to sleep at night if I'd worked under someone like Chauncey." While all this was happening in the hall, Landon and Sam had no idea. They were outside the hotel, lying in wait. Ever since Aria spotted the fake Chauncey on stage, she knew the real one
Chauncey's eyes widened. "I-I don't know what you're talking about." "You're just playing dumb, aren't you?" Aria smirked. "I know you're lying by just looking at your face. I've got ways to make you talk anyway." She could read the lie all over his face. Aria spun around, scanning the room. She'd been counting heads since she walked in, so she knew there were 23 guests and 8 servers. When she counted again, all the guests were still there. Only one server was missing. "It seems like someone has run off to warn them." Aria arched an eyebrow. "Chauncey, you'd better make yourself useful while you still can." "I'll never betray him!" Chauncey's face went pale as he yelled, "Guards! Throw this troublemaker out!" "I dare anyone to try!" Curtis bellowed, "This is between Mr. Benton and me. Anyone who steps forward will be an enemy of our family!" Chauncey gave Aria a long, hard look. "You think you're so smart, don't you? Do you actually think you've got everything under contr
