Chapter 1283 Unrequited Love

Author: Night Eleven
If one were to describe it simply, Alaric was a playboy on the surface. But in reality, he might still be holding onto his first kiss, a gift reserved for Fiona.

Aria pondered this as she looked over her phone conversation once again. The more she examined it, the clearer it became. Despite the attention from his girlfriends, they never grew too close. Though surrounded by women, he often drank and smoked alone.

The photos might have been old, but they sparked an epiphany in her.

Alaric had once nearly entrusted his entire family to Fiona, still worrying that she'd see him as less than pure.

Aria thought it was all rather intriguing, rubbing her chin in contemplation.

Meanwhile, Fiona couldn't quite understand Aria's sly smile, attributing it to a generational gap.

Aria grinned. "Mom, don't mention our conversation just yet. Let me meet Mr. Sloane at tomorrow's meeting."

"Of course," Fiona replied, always ready to indulge her daughter's wishes.

A thought struck Aria. "By the w

    King pushed the blonde out of his arms. He stood up with his phone and slowly walked toward the darkest corner of the room. "Someone's got their eyes on Portfall. They want to stir up trouble there." He took a drag of his cigarette. "You know how it is—go further inland and your people have tight control, so nothing major happens. But Portfall is different. That place... well, it's got historical baggage." He didn't need to spell it out. The moment he mentioned Portfall, Aria stopped flipping through the list. "Got it." Aria chuckled, but her expression turned cold. "Some people really never learn." King set down his drink. "That's only because they think you've retired. After all, on the international bounty list, you're listed as some old guy over 50 years old. Based on their calculations, you're not handling this stuff anymore, so they decided to make their move. "Otherwise, who'd have the guts to mess with this when they know you're still around? I don't think anyone can

  • The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 1877 Finally Awake

    Warren was the one who burst into the hospital room. For a whole week, Aria had been missing, and Landon had been unconscious. When Aria finally came back, she wouldn't let anyone into the emergency room after arriving at the hospital. She even gave orders for her and Landon to stay in the same room together, then slept for a full day and night. Their heartbeats were so weak that it was genuinely strange. The hospital specialists had even issued critical condition notices several times. It wasn't just Warren who was worried; the York family was even more concerned. The last time the York family experienced chaos like this was when Landon turned 18 years old. On his birthday that year, he somehow just stopped breathing, exactly like this time. Back then, Homer had worked tirelessly to save Landon's life. Everyone in the Dracotigris Order performed rituals that entire night without stopping. They even used their most precious treasure to call his soul that had been dragged into t

  • The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 1876 Divine Retribution

    Divine retribution couldn't touch Landon anyway. They came from the same place, so it made sense. There couldn't be divine retribution without the heavens existing first. Plus, divine retribution only existed because of Landon in the first place. Inside the Earthbound Manifestation, divine retribution couldn't mess with anyone since the manifestation wouldn't affect the karmic order. Now that all the spiritual beasts had gotten their fortune, they wanted to find their master, especially the white tiger and Spiritdeer clans from Mount Hollowlight. After all, they'd made bonding contracts with Aria way back when. Aria and Landon never got to finish their wedding at Mount Hollowlight properly. Now, their wedding finally happened, and it was as beautiful and grand as it was supposed to be. They all felt really proud of Aria, but most of them couldn't stick around. The ones who saw Aria like their own child—the spider clan and others—weren't avoiding the celebration. They'd just dis

  • The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 1875 Sam Tracks His Target

    Right now, everything happening in Portfall had come to a stop, but that was only on the surface. It seemed like this sudden chaos was happening because someone was pulling the strings behind the scenes. Sam looked at the retreating crowd and let out a deep breath. Standing beside him, Piper was so scared that she had collapsed to the ground. This was her first time dealing with anything like this. Sam saw this and helped her up. "Piper, they're gone. Let's go rest for a bit." Piper's voice was shaky. "Okay." Everything that had just happened came fast and left just as quickly. … Just then, Feran ambled past, map in hand, poring over it with intense scrutiny. He'd practically combed every inch of Portfall, yet not a single clue to the treasure had surfaced. Feran's eyes grew dark. Was this just some rumor? If that was the case, then coming to Portfall had been a complete waste of time. Suddenly, a man in black appeared next to him. "Sir, something seems off." Feran lo

  • The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 1874 Strange Omens

    The Glowstones were so ridiculously bright that some evil spirits were literally hiding under rocks to escape the glare. And the Skyfeathers had brought way too much celestial wine. Every time they flew overhead, they would hear this heavenly music playing. On top of that, everyone knew what it meant for Shadowspire when the Pahanas, white tigers, Vermilion Birds, and White Aegises all showed up. Wherever those beasts went, the evil spirits did everything they could to become invisible. Every clan had rushed here from all over the place, kicking up massive clouds of black mist and making the ground shake with all their footsteps. Aria could definitely feel all the chaos going on outside from her spot in bed. The servants didn't dare get anywhere near the room. They were stuck watching from way back behind the curtains, still trying to get some water ready for their queen. Even without knowing the full story, they could tell the night had been pretty intense. Aria's eyebrows s

  • The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 1873 Explaining the Truth

    Sam had no idea when Aria would be able to come and find him. But once she showed up, all these problems would become laughably easy. "Here's your fruit, sweetie." Margaret came from behind carrying a plate of fruit and set it on the table. "Take your time eating it. If you need more, just let me know, and I'll get you some." Sam looked up with a small smile. "Thanks." Margaret looked at Sam warmly. "No need to thank me. I'm going to get back to work now. You just sit here and don't go wandering around, okay?" Sam nodded in response, picking up a fork to pop some fruit into his mouth. Behind him, the study had become unusually quiet, nothing like the shouting match from earlier. "What did you just say?" Piper stared at the old man in shock. "Are you saying my mom chose to leave to protect me?" Sawyer nodded heavily. "Back then, your mother stayed by my side no matter what happened. Even when life was dirt poor, she never abandoned me. People used to call us the perfect coup
