The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1330 Aria Speaks
But Aria beat Waymond to it. "Uncle Waymond, let's talk privately later." She wanted to discuss financials with Waymond, which were the matters best kept from her grandfather. She had examined his condition and planned to stabilize it gradually with her medicine tonight. Waymond couldn't help but smile at her mature demeanor. "Alright, we'll talk later." Clyde remained unaware of what the two were planning. After the initial Chamber selection concluded, business partners bid farewell to Clyde. They wished him good health and looked forward to the next profit calculation. Orion approached, immediately laying his trap. "Mr. Grisham, I admire your forgiveness. Even after your love-struck daughter nearly ruined the Grishams, you forgave her. Now you trust your granddaughter too. "Aren't you worried she'll bring the same misfortune?" Clyde smiled, his emotions unreadable. "I once saved the disloyal Draycotts. Isn't it natural to be kind to my own granddaughter?" Orion seethed

When Orion heard Aria's words, he glanced at Lily, who spoke right on cue. "Though the Kents are a medical family, we stayed in Southbury and never ventured out. After my grandmother's medical incident, we stopped practicing. "Ms. Carver attended vocational school in Southbury, so perhaps she gained connections after joining the Carvers. Meeting Dr. Farrow would be a blessing for any medical practitioner. "I envy Ms. Carver. At Janovin Medical University, I only heard Dr. Farrow's lectures from afar and was never qualified to approach him." Though Lily's words seemed complimentary, her implication was clear. If she, a top student, couldn't meet Lennox, how could a vocational school graduate possibly do so? No one had heard of connections between Lennox and the Carvers. The crowd caught her meaning, so they watched Aria with speculation and disdain. Orion laughed and said, "Mr. Grisham, you see how young and prideful Aria is. She's unable to keep things to herself and likes ex
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1332 Prayer Candles
Waymond knew Orion's methods well. Given his vengeful nature, he would surely scheme against Aria during the practical phase. Waymond worried for her. Aria needed to win the projects and revive the dying industries, which was an enormous amount of work. He supported helping farmers since the Grisham family always emphasized helping others when the family was wealthy. However, agricultural aid typically brought low returns and struggled to penetrate markets. That explained Isaiah's difficulties. They would need local resource support. "Aria, we need to talk about this." Even Clyde's expression had grown grave. "Waymond, arrange the car. We're returning home." Clyde decided firmly. "Isaiah, wait for our call." Aria realized her grandfather and uncle might have misunderstood. She considered how to explain while noticing Alaric's meaningful glance, asking her to maintain his good-guy persona. Aria muttered helplessly, "I can barely explain my situation, let alone yours." "A

"Someone lit prayer candles for you in Ludwiten?" Caspian asked. As Caspian realized something, his face turned pale. "Boss, when you passed away in your last life, I cleaned up everything connected to you. No one could even approach your grave. "But things were chaotic then, so I might have missed something." During that special period, with war everywhere, even the Royal Hotel had closed. Few things remained intact, but Caspian remembered being extremely careful with anything related to Landon. Landon stood, dark mist rising behind him. "So you don't know?" Caspian quickly shook his head, distancing himself. "Then find out who it was." Landon's tone remained neutral, yet his presence felt suffocating. His emotions always seemed stable. As the crow said, Landon's emotions couldn't be unstable. If they were, Ludwiten's weather would become unpredictable. Meanwhile, Fiona thought meeting Richard was just a chance encounter. When Waymond told her she should return to th
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1334 The Price of Trust
Waymond had always been one who wore his heart on his sleeve, so he teared up. Seeing Fiona this way, his usual stern face crumbled. "If you cared so much about Dad's health, why didn't you come see him as soon as you arrived in Ludwiten?" Fiona paused, realizing something. "I did come home, more than once." "You came back? When?" Eamon could not help asking. Fiona detailed both visits to the Grisham residence. The first time happened before meeting Priscilla. She went straight to the mansion as she was worried about miscommunication. The butler stopped her, apologetically explaining that the family had business troubles. And with Owen's past schemes, her visit would only bring problems. The second time, she was still worried, especially after noticing her childhood friend Priscilla had changed. She tried again. The housekeeper accepted her gifts and promised to convey her sentiments. Fiona had suspected something was off but felt powerless. Her calls wouldn't go through, t
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1335 Rooting Out the Traitors
Clyde's lips curved into a gratified smile, his eyes reflecting complex emotions. There was pride in Aria's courage and contemplation of years past. "Aria, you've grown up, and you now have your own thoughts and responsibilities. But courage and determination alone aren't enough. Strategy and method matter just as much." He paused, his tone deepening. "If the Draycotts dare to scheme so openly, they must have hidden plans we don't yet see. You must not only help those in need but also protect yourself from their plots." Aria nodded gently, knowing she needed to share some details to ease Clyde's concerns. "Grandpa, I understand. I've started investigating the Draycotts' activities while seeking the right timing. It's all to make sure each of my steps is solid. "As for funding, I have initial plans for multi-channel financing and will bring in professional teams for risk assessment and management. Don't worry." Clyde had a look of approval on his face. "Good, better safe than
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1336 Scheming
Robert was quick to react. "I-I didn't do it on purpose, Mr. Grisham Senior. I…" He slapped himself hard enough to swell his cheek, making half the housekeepers glance over with pity.Robert added, "Mr. Grisham Senior, you know I've been dealing with family issues. I was distracted. I'm sorry." Robert bowed to Clyde. "It's all my fault."Clyde didn't press him further and waved for him to wipe his sweat. "Nothing serious happened. No need to be so hard on yourself. Just go and bring another pot of tea.""Yes, sir!" As Robert turned to leave, Aria's eyes locked on him. "Wait."He froze and turned back, visibly nervous. "Y-Yes, miss? Do you need something else?"The sight amused Aria. After all, this wasn't her first time at the Grisham residence. Even on her first visit, she'd noticed something off, though she had chosen not to act.Now, however, the timing was perfect. Robert's little scene had made the housekeepers believe the Grisham family was heartless. Aria intended to pla
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1337 Resolving the Misunderstanding
Another housekeeper also added, "That's right. Ms. Carver, it's best to choose us."Robert listened to the accusations swirling around him, never expecting the loyalty he had nurtured for years to vanish so quickly.Most of these staff members worked at the Grisham residence because of him. He had covered for their laziness, ensuring they continued receiving their salaries despite their negligence. Yet now, they were conspiring against him.Robert's lips curled into a bitter sneer. If they wanted a fight, he would give them one. "Ms. Carver, I admit I'm at fault today. But most of the people here are careless and constantly complain that the Grisham family is stingy. How can they properly care for Mr. Grisham Senior with such dissatisfaction?""They called the Grisham family stingy?" Aria's eyes darkened as she scanned the room.The staff, mostly newcomers, shrank under her gaze—except for Robert, who wore a smug expression.Aria turned back to Robert. "As the Grisham family's bu

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 Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1643 A Slap
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
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1642 The Truth
"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
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1641 Crush Clyde
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.
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1640 Good People
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
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1639 Amos Is Regretful
Lucas could hear the pride in his mentor's voice for Aria. After all, his mentor had taken Aria in Southbury and even owed her his life. 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. If someone with his position made a move, it would become a huge issue. That was why Lucas hid the truth from him. The former had to play along with the other politicians and endure them spouting empty promises. Before Lucas set out, his mentor stood on top of Old City and looked at the vast mountains. "Do whatever you need to, just like what you had done in Southbury. I'll be waiting for you and Aria's return at Janovin."These people didn't deserve his mercy at all!"You used your authority to disregard people's lives." It was the first time Lucas had shown his emotions so open
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1638 Deserve It
Amos was too stunned to react. One side of his face throbbed with pain, and fish oil clung to his hair, glistening from the dish he had been slammed into.He had always eaten fish a particular way—only one side. No matter how expensive the fish, he refused to flip it over, believing that leaving it untouched brought good fortune.But today, that superstition had been smashed—along with his pride. Pinned to the table, Amos hadn't even found the time to get angry. Confusion flickered in his eyes as he struggled to rise.Then Lucas spoke, his words crashing down like a stone wall."Amos Lune, you conspired with the Draycott and Fitzroy families to crush honest entrepreneurs. You've abused your position shamelessly."Lucas didn't stop. His tone cut sharper with each sentence."We also have evidence linking you to a human organ trafficking ring in Bellebrook. You've disgraced the people who supported your rise—and the country that invested in you."Lucas had been suppressing his ange
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1637 Capture All of Them
Lucas shook his head steadily. "Not yet."Amos, still basking in the glow of his "victory", had no idea what was coming. He answered Durand's call with a smug smile. On the other end, Durand's laughter rang out loud and triumphant."Mr. Lune, you should've seen the Grisham brothers' faces! I bet they never expected to be abandoned like that!"You played it brilliantly. One quiet move, and boom—the Grisham family's out of the Chamber of Commerce. From here, it's just a slow bleed. They'll lose everything."Amos kept his tone cool. "This isn't enough. Keep pushing the online chatter. The narrative needs to focus on how their precious granddaughter cost so many investors their savings. And don't forget her carefully crafted persona—it's about to unravel."He paused, voice crisp. "Reach out to the other businessmen. Now that the Grishams can't offer any benefits, it's time for everyone to take a bite. You understand, don't you, Durand?"Durand took a moment, then replied, "Right. Got

Cormac even thought of leaving some of his influence behind after retiring. This way, he could still have some power over decisions. He thought he could remind Lucas that not just anyone could do his job well. Therefore, Cormac remained calm after receiving the note. He was already so used to handling his daughter's troubles.Cormac strode into his lounge and asked Pedro, "Is it drunk driving again? Don't you know how to handle it?""It's not drunk driving." Pedro still seemed out of it.Cormac's expression darkened. "It's not drunk driving? Was she on drugs again? I already reminded you numerous times to get someone to keep an eye on her. Which stage of the process is she at right now? Call the people from the drug-testing institution.""No. That's not it." Pedro took off his glasses and his badge.Cormac finally realized that Pedro seemed off. "What happened? Just tell me. I doubt she'll kill someone. Although my daughter is troublesome, she won't do something like that. I kno
