Chapter 1253 Meeting Her Grandfather

Author: Night Eleven
It was sunset at the Grisham residence.

The Nobeetan wooden door opened. Aria's first impression was one of waning vitality.

The interior was cozy with embroidered tablecloths, ornaments, and strategically placed wall sconces in every corner. Still, Aria sensed the room's declining energy.

It was an unsettling feeling. Poor air circulation mixed with faint traces of rose fragrance. Then she heard coughing—deep, heavy coughs with labored and raspy breathing.

It sounded like an infection in the trachea, bronchi, and lungs. Unlike her usual ease in examining patients, Aria felt tense.

This patient was her grandfather, whom she had never met. Once a titan of industry, Clyde now required care in his illness. His condition was severe. Before checking his pulse, she could not be certain if there was still hope.

She had kept Sam outside. Chaos' dark energy would harm someone chronically ill.

Besides, Aria could tell Clyde's condition had not developed overnight. It would be fine

    While a few suppliers' suspension wouldn't affect the Grisham Group much, such a large-scale disruption severely impacted the company's production.Some of the Grisham Group's stockholders were displeased to see the stock plummeting. "Mr. Grisham Senior, the company's stocks have plummeted because of your family matter. Do you think this is acceptable?""I heard the Grisham family has been kicked out of the Chamber of Commerce, too. Mr. Grisham Senior, you should try to find a way to save your reputation. While we can afford to wait, your employees can't."In reality, the two who spoke had already colluded with Durand. They only stayed in the Grisham Group to flame the fire. There were even those who wanted to sell their stocks.Clyde didn't bother answering them directly. Instead, he quietly instructed Eamon to acquire the shares. He was to buy them back at the market price from the first half of the day.When Durand caught wind of the Grisham Group buying its own stocks, he bu

    Some clients, reassured by Clyde's presence, decided not to push any further. "Nothing bad has ever happened during all our years working with the Grisham Group," one man said, his tone settling. "I'll wait for updates before making any decisions.""Same here," another echoed.From a business standpoint, keeping a steady partnership with the Grishams had always been a golden ticket. While the recent headlines made them uneasy, cutting ties too quickly would only hurt them. Still, the online rumors lingered—claims that the Grisham Group was too proud and could barely cover their dues.Yet, not everyone chose patience.A handful of clients had already made up their minds and weren't shy about showing their hostility.One particularly loud, heavy-set man stepped forward. "Mr. Grisham Senior, no offense, but this isn't about respect. Business is business. You've got no proof Aria's innocent, and she's already detained. What more are we supposed to wait for? I demand an answer now."

    Yet, no matter how closely Aria observed him, Cormac's expression showed genuine confusion. If he had truly orchestrated the trafficking operation, he was either a master actor or he was just as clueless as he claimed.If that was the case, why did the GPS tracker point to his office? Aria needed time to think and confirm her assumptions.…Meanwhile, Durand and the others decided to make things difficult for the Grisham family.Eamon and Waymond were dealing with some company affairs when a group of people appeared before the entrance. The bodyguard failed to stop the crowd and urgently phoned reception. "There's a group of angry clients outside. They're accusing us of deception—something about canceling their contracts."The receptionist wasted no time alerting Eamon, who immediately made his way downstairs with Waymond.The scene at the entrance was loud and confrontational. A small crowd had gathered, their voices rising in tension until one man spotted Eamon."There he is

    In that moment, Cormac couldn't afford to care about pride or appearances. His survival depended on severing all ties, especially with a traitor."I don't have a daughter like you!" he snapped, slapping Aliya again. "Do you even realize what you've done? Trafficking human organs—do you think that's something you can walk away from?"Aliya collapsed to the floor, stunned. A chill unlike any she'd ever felt seeped into her bones. She stared up at her father in disbelief, watching as he bowed his head respectfully toward Aria, the very woman she had just mocked.In Aliya's world, her father was the state government. She had grown up believing that their family controlled everything, that Cormac Windham's influence extended far beyond his office, even as retirement loomed.But all of it was crumbling before her eyes.Outside his office, word had already begun to spread. Though muffled, the sharp sound of a slap echoed faintly through the corridor.Everyone understood what that meant—

    The group dared to be reckless as Amos was Ludwiten's lieutenant governor. They were peas in a pod and did corruption together.However, they didn't know that their support had already collapsed. Aria was not in a rush to capture Amos' lackeys as her target was in the state government. She didn't go alone either, for Aliya also went with her.Shortly after, Aria issued a new command. "Seal the premises. No one is to leave. Tell everyone to remain in their seats."A request like that, especially directed at the state level, would typically require an exhaustive process—dozens of forms, layers of red tape. Even in cases involving fatalities, senior officials were rarely detained on the spot.But Aria followed with a second message, one that sent chills down spines. "This case involves foreign infiltration. Someone has betrayed the country."Those words landed like a thunderclap. No one dared raise an objection. No one wanted to be associated with treason—not ordinary citizens, and

    "Grandpa, it's not convenient for me to get in touch with all of you right now. Remember to take your medicine on time. I have to pretend that I'm locked up. Uncle Eamon and Uncle Waymond have to seem fretful so that the enemy wouldn't be alerted. I'm sorry, Grandpa."Aria didn't reveal what she had encountered in the message. This was because the Special Missions Unit was bound to a confidentiality contract when making decisions. What Aria said was almost pushing the limits.Aria only agreed to get locked up just to see how people would react when the Grisham family was in trouble.When the opponent placed their attention on this incident, they would let their guard down and give Aria a chance to secure evidence of their crimes.If the Grisham family retained its usual influence, the mastermind wouldn't show himself so easily. As Aria felt sorry for her family and worried about Clyde's health, she immediately sent a message to apologize after the auction. However, she couldn't s

    There was no way Aria didn't know that the conviction was unfair. Furthermore, Percy specialized in handling economic cases. He knew there was no way Aria would be locked up so quickly. Yet, her crime had been publicly declared without prior warning. Percy was absolutely furious. He tugged his tie and declared the system was corrupted. While Fergus was also helping to find connections, Warren had just landed from Janovin.Clyde had sought out all sorts of connections, even his ex-colleagues in the education field.Fiona clenched his hands. "They promised to help Dad look into it." "They're just trying to fool Mr. Grisham Senior. Their higher-ups have already warned them about it." Nisa suddenly lowered her voice. "They're trying to make his health relapse again. If that happens, the Grisham family is done for."At this moment, a low voice sounded from the door. "So that's what happened. I was wondering why there was no progress with Aria's side after a whole day."It was Eamon.

    Because Amos' arrest was part of a covert operation, the news didn't reach anyone outside the circle. That meant Durand remained completely unaware. He was still riding high on the thrill of his plan, blinded by the pleasure of watching the Grisham family fall.That night, he raised a glass of wine in early celebration, his mistress seated beside him. He didn't know that the move he'd made would become the greatest regret of his life.Elsewhere, Nisa couldn't bring herself to be as heartless. That was why, under the quiet cover of night, she made her way to the Grisham residence—not to see Clyde, but to speak with Fiona. She knew Clyde would shut her out immediately, but Fiona… Fiona might just listen.They weren't close. Not the way Fiona was with Priscilla. But they had once shared a few polite meals, floated in the same social circles. Enough to warrant a conversation—barely.When they sat down, Fiona's expression was cool, even distant. She hadn't forgotten the things Nisa had

Lucas didn't dare to inform his mentor that Aria was being suppressed in the political world. He understood his mentor well. He was devoted to the country and couldn't stand such injustice.Therefore, Lucas didn't tell the truth to prevent his mentor from worrying.
