Chapter 1126 Driving a Wedge

작가: Night Eleven
The market share was already limited, and if the Carvers entered, they would certainly claim a portion of it. Moreover, Fiona's greatest wish was to reconcile with the Grishams. Aria's trip to Ludwiten would only heighten the sense of crisis, and someone was definitely trying to drive a wedge between the families.

After expressing these concerns, Stephen continued, "Ms. Carver, though your suspicions go beyond this, outsiders will definitely seize upon this point and keep feeding suggestions to the Grishams."

Stephen poured tea for everyone before continuing, "Mr. Grisham was famously devoted to his daughter. Both families supported Mrs. Carver's marriage without much objection since she wanted it. The fact that Mr. Carver offered some company shares at that time put the Grishams at ease too.

"Later, as you know, the Carver family's shares were diluted. After you were kidnapped, Mrs. Carver fell seriously ill. The Grishams visited many times, especially Mr. Richard and Mr. Waymon

  • The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 2020 Arrangements

    Aria looked up. "But the choice is yours. If you want to stay in Portfall, I'll have Mr. Gallagher Senior make arrangements. If you want to go back to your hometowns to visit, I'll arrange transport for you too." She knew everyone here was reluctant to leave this place. They'd spent the first half of their lives working for the Chamber. As for the second half, Aria hoped they could go home and rest properly. Sawyer took a deep breath. "I'll listen to Ms. Carver. I'll go back home and get some proper rest." Rollo and the others exchanged glances, then said together, "We'll also listen to Ms. Carver, but—" Rollo looked at Curtis. "You have to take good care of the Chamber. Don't let it fall into someone else's hands again." Curtis' expression turned serious. "Not unless I'm dead. And Clarence is growing up well. We won't let you down." Clarence stood up beside him. "Gentlemen, I'll take good care of the Chamber. Please don't worry." Aria glanced at Clarence. "Study hard und

  • The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 2019 Making the Choice

    When Aria heard what Landon said, she was speechless. She asked, "What about Sam then?" Aria rested her hand on her chin. Landon said calmly, "His identity stays the same. He'll be our younger brother." Aria glanced over. "I thought..." Right then, Aria's phone rang. Her eyes lit up when she saw who it was. "I've been waiting for your call," Aria said in perfect Angladian. The person on the other end spoke fluent Angladian. "Oh, this wasn't easy. I asked around everywhere but got nothing. But I finally got a lead."They're being secretly detained by intelligence services. So I made up an excuse to meet with the deputy director and got him drunk to pump him for information. "Those people are probably being held at a special detention center. On paper, it's a private security training facility, but it's actually a prison." Aria frowned slightly. "So this place is like a prison, and you can't ever get out?" The person continued, "Exactly. Nobody can get anywhere close t

  • The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 2018 Ready to Depart

    Jillian's eyes went wide. She said to Wanda, "So you've been planning this from the start!" "Exactly." Wanda didn't even try to deny it. "Do you want to know why my skin looks this good?" She ran her fingers along her own flawless cheek. "The secret to eternal youth was discovered ages ago by the ancients—virgin blood." "You're out of your mind! That's just superstition, so none of that is real!" Jillian fought against the straps holding her arms and legs. "Superstition?" Wanda let out a cold laugh and pointed to the device on the wall. "See that? It's a blood purification system I improved from ancient texts. Regular transfusions only slow aging, but I found something interesting. "Blood drawn during certain emotional states contains special enzymes. And when I combine it with my formula, the results are incredible." Jillian started shaking. "Those young women who went missing in Portfall..." Wanda's face turned cold. "That's right. They were sacrifices, and they shoul

  • The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 2017 Revealing Herself

    Aria's sudden question stopped Wanda in her tracks. She recovered quickly. "I've never heard of that woman before." Then she hurried into the other lounge. Watching Wanda's reaction, Aria could pretty much guess the truth. Wanda definitely knew who Priscilla was, and she might even be Priscilla herself. Sure, nothing about her looked the same, but her reactions had been way too interesting from the moment they'd met. "I'll walk you out." Felicity came over. "Ms. Pedgett's pretty busy today. Hope you understand." Aria got up. "No worries. I get it." After Felicity walked her to the door, she headed back to the break room. "Ms. Pedgett, do you know her?" Felicity couldn't help asking. Wanda had never acted like this around anyone. Wanda gave her a look. "Mind your own business. Just do your job." Felicity nodded and left. Once the door shut, Wanda's expression turned dark. Indeed, she was Priscilla Draycott. She had fled from Ludwiten to Portfall just to get away from

  • The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 2016 The Salon Owner

    Tegan said to Landon, "Yeah, I've gone to the beauty salon before to get Ms. Cragmire back." Landon stayed quiet and looked at Aria. Taking the hint, Aria turned to Tegan. "Could you go get Jillian? Tell her there's something at the restaurant that needs her attention." Tegan nodded. "I'll go get her." He headed toward the salon entrance. Landon looked at Aria. "We're in Portfall, so there are things we shouldn't get directly involved in. Besides, we don't even know if the salon owner is really Priscilla." Aria nodded slightly. "I got a bit worked up just now. Good thing you stopped me."Tegan had already arrived at the salon's entrance. When he knocked, Felicity came to the door. "What is it?" "I'm looking for Ms. Cragmire." Tegan stood at the door. "Something came up, and we need her back in the restaurant." Felicity smiled. "She's in the middle of a treatment. It'll take another half hour, and we can't interrupt her. If it's urgent, you should handle it yourself. I'll

  • The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 2015 Playing the Part

    Aria thought that the beauty salon was strange, and it wasn't just because of what Jillian had described. That little red dot on her wrist looked like some kind of marking. "I'm really tempted to have a treatment there now." Aria smiled brightly. "Could you maybe introduce me? I'll pay whatever it takes to become a member." Jillian hesitated. "I can't make that decision myself, but I can go ask for you. But it's hard to say whether the salon owner will do me this favor." Aria nodded. "That's fine. I appreciate you even trying. It'll all be up to my fate whether I get in or not." Jillian smiled. "Alright, go finish your meal before it gets cold. I'll head over to the salon right now and ask for you." "Thank you so much," Aria said, turning on the charm. "You're so beautiful and kind-hearted. I could learn a lot from you." "Oh, you're too sweet." Jillian couldn't contain her smile anymore. "Now I'll feel terrible if I don't get you that membership." Aria smiled back. "Thank
