Chapter 1126 Driving a Wedge

Author: 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

    Yona froze where she stood, covering her eyes in a futile attempt to stop the tears streaming down her cheeks. "Aria, I'm so glad I ran into you.""We're both Farshyans. I'll help you however I can. Fate must've brought us together for a reason." Aria took some tissues and gently tapped Yona's shoulder. "Pull yourself together. We're about to hit the road.""Okay."Yona took the tissues, turned around, and wiped her tears.Moments later, the four of them left the hotel suite, fully dressed. Brighton Hotel stood right across the street—just a short walk away. This time, however, staff were stationed at both entrances, welcoming guests and inspecting their invitations.After all, this was a welcome party hosted by the Meciran leaders, meaning every guest was a big shot. Naturally, security was tight, and no one could enter without an invitation.Instead of heading straight there, Aria and her team went to the restaurant in their hotel. "Let's grab a bite before we go." Ar

    The medicine pouch floating in the bathtub was packed full with rare and invaluable herbs. They promoted blood circulation, reduced stasis, and calmed the mind.After preparing the bath, Aria stepped out of the bathroom and sat next to Landon."You and Sam should get some rest. It's going to take me a while to treat Yona."Landon raised an eyebrow, his expression calm and unhurried. "It's okay. I'll wait for you."Aria gave a small nod and stood up. "I'll make her a glass of warm milk."About 15 minutes later, she checked the time. "Go get freshened up. I'll head in and finish up."She picked up the warm milk and an outfit she had asked Wynric to buy for Yona, then walked toward the room.When she entered, Yona was lying in the tub, looking much better—stronger, though still faintly exhausted.Aria set the milk down on the table. "Feeling better?""I am. I can feel my strength coming back." Yona nodded firmly. "This medicine pouch works wonders. I recovered in no time."Aria

    The young woman trembled, her eyes brimming with fear. Even so, she spoke softly. "My name is Yona Seaton. I'm…"Yona trailed off. Lifting her gaze, she looked at Aria, Landon, and Wynric, unsure if she should tell them everything. What if they were working with Otto, and this so-called rescue was just a test?Aria saw through Yona's hesitation and offered a gentle smile. "Don't worry. We're not the bad guys. The choice is yours—you can tell us if you want to. If you'd rather not, you can keep it to yourself."Yona swallowed hard. "You're all Farshyans, right? You probably know Dashiell Wycliffe, the Deputy Secretary of Defense?""Dashiell?" Aria's eyes glinted. "I've heard of him. What's your connection to him?""I-I used to be his assistant," Yona said, lowering her head.Seeing that, Aria immediately draped her jacket over Yona. "So, you're Dashiell's assistant? How did you end up in Otto's hands?""We were on a work trip to Mecira. Mr. Wycliffe was making a call in his offic

    "Okay. Sit tight. We're hitting the road."Wynric sat up, pressed the accelerator, and the car surged forward. Eventually, they stopped in front of a luxurious villa, ablaze with light, music, and laughter. Security guards stood sentinel at the entrance, inspecting invitations."We're here."Wynric parked and stepped out. "This is the place I told you about. I hope it helps with what you're doing."Looking up, Aria said, "You mentioned the NIO's local chief. Is he here?"Wynric threw his hand up in the air. "I'm not sure. We'll know once we get inside. But I think he will be—he's close to Otto, sort of a mentor."Wynric led the way to the entrance. When he stopped before the guards, he handed over his invitation. After a quick glance at the trio, the guard returned the invitation. "Enjoy."The trio entered the villa, finding it packed with people in their finery. Men wore sharp suits; women wore luxurious jewelry and gowns. Guests stood in groups, wine glasses in hand, their

    Wesson froze. He turned back slowly, disbelief written across his face. "W-Why are you behind me?"Aria's eyes hardened. "We can be anywhere we like. It's a shame things didn't go as you planned. You tried to burn this place down to cover your tracks. Too bad it didn't work."Wesson's expression tightened as he snapped back to his senses. "Where are the relics? Tell me now, or I'll order my men to shoot you all."Aria stepped forward, calm. "Is that right? If you'd burned us back there, you could've lied your way out. But are you sure you want to pull the trigger here? Go ahead if you don't mind losing your post."Wesson's face went cold. "What do you want?""Simple," Aria said bluntly. "Tell me the name of the Farshyan working with you. Reveal him, and I might give you a chance."Wesson laughed. "So, you want to know about that. Fine. I'll tell you."He smiled slyly before continuing, "It's you. You've been taking my orders."Aria answered coolly, "You're delusional. Since you

    As long as the relic incident stayed secret, Wesson still had a chance to explain. He could accept punishment or a demotion. But if word spread that he had stolen Farshyan relics, Athara would make him a scapegoat, and he would be the focus of everyone's fury.Madden watched the building burn and ground his teeth. "Wesson, you're challenging Farshya. If anything happens to them, you'll go down with them."Wesson sounded detached. "As long as nobody knows what happened, no one will believe your one-sided claims.""You monster! If you had any conscience, none of this would have happened!" Madden was being held down and could only glare helplessly.Wesson sneered. "Conscience? Hah. If I had that, I wouldn't be chief of the NIO. The world is full of saints, but sinners are the ones who survive. If they die in there, both my ally and I can walk free."…At that moment, Aria heard voices above the basement."Mr Ahern should be here. Move the relics out and meet him." Aria and Landon t
