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
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 1333 Heartache
"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. IâĶ" 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 gazeâexcept for Robert, who wore a smug expression.Aria turned back to Robert. "As the Grisham family's bu

Clyde spoke up at this moment. "Eamon, what do you mean by that?"The usually refined Eamon spoke through gritted teeth. "It's all my fault for employing people who betrayed the Grisham family. "Dad, we misunderstood Fiona. She's been trying to get in touch with us all these years. She suffered from an illness that caused hallucinations, making it hard for her to tell dreams from reality. "Even with all that, she kept trying to come back to the family. Just a few days ago, she came to the house to see you."Eamon's gaze fell on Robert, who lay crumpled on the floor, and the housekeepers who stood frozen, hoping to feign innocence. "They refused to let her in. They kept it from us every single time."Clyde's face flushed, and his breath grew uneven.Aria quickly stepped forward, pressing her fingers to his pulse. "Grandpa, calm down. The truth is out now, and it's not too late."Her words broke through Clyde's anguish, grounding him. He took a steadying breath. "You're right. I
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 1339 Dealing With Outsiders
When the housekeepers realized that, they immediately dismissed the thought of informing the Draycott family about what happened. Robert even knelt on the floor to beg for the Grisham family's mercy. Aria went straight to the point. "Tell me everything you did regarding my mother."Robert no longer dared to keep anything hidden. He confessed how the Draycott family had found him and how he exploited his identity as their distant relative to deepen the Grisham family's misunderstandings about Fiona.He went on to admit he had persuaded Eamon's wife to stay silent, warning her of the potential consequences if Clyde grew displeased. The threat loomed especially large for Eamon's son, who was already viewed unfavorably by Clyde. Worsening the rift wouldn't be worth the risk.Eamon's breath quickened as he took it all in. He spun on his heel, ready to confront his wife."Stop," Clyde ordered, his tone tense as he leaned on his walking cane."Dad, it's my fault," Eamon rasped. "I fail

Chaos erupted at the auction. For all their pride and arrogance, the wealthy clients' expressions had twisted into pure panic the moment something went wrong.So, their first reaction was to seek a staff member."The power's unstable!" Dave spoke into the microphone, trying to project calm. "Everyone, stay calm. There's scheduled maintenance in townâit's just affecting the electricity. Nothing's wrong."He genuinely believed that. It was what he'd been told.But Aria knew better. The blackout wasn't random. It was a signal. Sam had tracked down the source of the call. With the exits sealed off, Aria had everything she needed to act.A faint smirk curled on her lips. Without hesitation, she grabbed Landon and swiftly took Aliya hostage. Her movements were sharp, practiced, so fast that no one around her even had time to react.Then came the needles.Aria flicked her wrist, sending a series of acupuncture needles flying. The rich guests closest to her froze in place, locked in stu
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 1625 Winning the Auction
Tony's accusation stirred a ripple through the room, and it didn't escape Dave's attention. With a subtle flick of his wrist, he signaled to someone nearby.Aria caught the movement. Her fingers tensed, ready to slip free of the rope she had already loosened. But before she could act, she heard a smooth, composed voice glide through the air."I need her to boost my luck," the man said coolly. "I've done my research. She's the ideal bride for someone like me."Dave stopped in his tracks, and it seemed like he was telling someone else to verify what Landon had said."Sir, it checks out," one of the staff murmured after a brief consultation. "Mr. Crow's fate is complicated. The master said only a spiritual match could extend his life. Otherwise, he won't make it past his next birthday."Dave let out a low chuckle, visibly relaxing. "Well then, Mr. Crow, it seems you've come to the right place. Pleaseâcarry on, everyone."Aria listened in stunned silence. Landon hadn't lied. His life
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 1624 Landon Takes Action
Aria couldn't tear her eyes away from Dave.He was still quietly speaking to the man on the screen, their exchange shrouded in secrecy. No one nearby could hear what they were sayingâbut Aria could guess. It had to be a deal of some sort, something about her. Everything about Dave's posture, the glint in his eyes, told her this wasn't just business. It was personal.She glanced up at the clock again, nerves coiling in her chest. Something was wrong. Sam was taking longer than usual. That wasn't like him.The auction was nearing its close. They couldn't miss the chance to strike. Sasha, glowing with excitement, clapped her hands and declared, "Six million! It looks like no one else is biddingâcongratulations to our newest member, Mr. Tigerâ""Ten million dollars."The voice sliced clean through the noise, calm, clear, and cold.Everyone turned toward it.A man stood at the edge of the crowd, dressed in a sleek tuxedo dusted with black feathers, his mask intricate and dark.T
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 1623 Waiting for Sam
Aria had once told Sam to avoid chaos if he couldâbut she'd also said that when desperation knocked, rules could bend.Now was one of those moments.Sam hesitated only briefly before diving in.He had to know who was behind this. Who kept targeting Aria? Who was pulling the strings in the dark? And once Sam decided on something, there was no turning back.Without Aria by his side, he breached the system, knowing full well the other side had already alerted the police.The firewall he faced wasn't just toughâit was nearly impenetrable. It filtered everything, controlling access with surgical precision. But Sam wasn't interested in the broader network. He narrowed his focus and cut straight to the source, filtering out all the noise to lock onto the actual IP.The auction raged on aboveground. The man behind the screen, confident in his usual routine, remained calm and unaware that the mask he'd worn for years was finally slipping. He'd always stayed out of sight, appearing only
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 1622 The Unusual Location of the Target
While Aria discreetly signaled to move, the auction hall was buzzing with excitement. Laughter echoed, wine glasses clinked, and the room pulsed with greed.Sasha's voice came through the mic, smooth and cheerful. "While everyone's enjoying themselves, let's welcome our latest arrival of the evening."She glanced at the man beside herâher bodyguardâwho immediately stiffened under her gaze.To the crowd, it looked like he was escorting Aria to the stage under control. In truth, Aria's hand was already pressed lightly against his chest, right over a poisoned pressure point. He knew better than to resistâhe'd seen what she was capable of.And she'd made her warning crystal clearâif she was exposed or captured, he wouldn't live to see morning.The guests didn't notice a thing. All eyes were on Aria, their expressions hungry. They saw value in herâfresh, young, healthy. To them, she wasn't a person. She was premium merchandise.She was brought to stand beside a young woman who had alr

Eamon and Waymond had just been thrown out of the Chamber of Commerce. Waymond's face was flushed with fury, his eyes red. "Eamon, why didn't you let me speak earlier? Mr. Lincoln was being unreasonable!"Eamon, ever perceptive, shook his head. "Mr. Lincoln's been bribed. He was never going to take our side."Wise and strategic, Eamon had always been top of his classâbut now, he was even sharper when it came to reading a room."I'm guessing Aria found something during her investigation that made them nervous," he continued. "Durand couldn't have controlled Lincoln on his own. There's more to it."Waymond frowned, still struggling to piece things together. "But who could bribe Mr. Lincoln? Not even the mayor has that kind of sway. He'sâ""What if it's someone from the state?" Eamon cut in, eyes flicking back toward the building. "We need to tell Dad. There's no point in staying here, but there is someone we can talk to.""Who?" Waymond asked quickly. "Lucas Murrayâthe new secr
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 1620 The Grishams Are Gone
Durand's expression darkened; Eamon was right. Amos and the official from the state had originally wanted to work with the Grishams, especially Eamon. That was why they used the Fitzroys as a bridge to approach him. Unfortunately, Magdalene had failed to establish any rapport with the Grishams.Instead, she kept criticizing Eamon, claiming he followed Laura's every word, and insisted they had plenty of ways to manipulate the Grishams. In the end, the divorce erupted into a scandal, and the entire Fitzroy family was imprisoned.Ironically, Eamon's actions only impressed the state official more. Durand had even heard Amos say that their leader hoped Eamon would continue working with them as his involvement would ensure their plans progressed smoothly.That knowledge burned Durand with frustration. No matter what he did, he could never measure up to Eamon."It looks like you still haven't grasped the situation, Mr. Grishman. Mr. Grisham Senior has begged everyone, but where did it le
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 1619 Making a Plan for the Grishams
"I'm happy to take over the Grishams' responsibilities," Durand said.Waymond scoffed coldly. "You're not worthy of it.""Mr. Lincoln, it seems someone's not too happy with you."Durand, dressed like a gentleman as always, adjusted his glasses and replied calmly, "Waymond, you've been in this business long enough to know how things work. The Grishams have gained a lot over the years. It's not up to you to decide whether to hold on to it."Leonardo stood, trying to ease the tension. "There's no point in arguing. Let's settle this the traditional wayâwith an anonymous vote. Everyone, write down whether you think the Grishams should step down. Let the vote speak for itself. That way, it'll be fair."He instructed someone to bring in a box, paper, and pens. Each member was handed a set. It was more for show than anything else; everyone already knew how the vote would go.Eamon saw right through their performance, his gaze turning cold as he sat silently. The votes were quickly cast an
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 1618 Kicking the Grishams Out
"Mr. Grisham, how long your niece stays locked up isn't up to usâit depends on the severity of her crime," Durand said. "As a member of the Chamber of Commerce, you should understand how serious the situation she's stirred up really is. Haven't you read any of the online news?"People are now hoping the Grisham family goes bankrupt. They're even demanding that we, the Chamber, investigate this matter ourselves!"His words made those who had previously wanted to side with the Grishams start to hesitate. With the Draycotts and Fitzroys already doomed, the Grishams had seemed like the next best option. But no one had expected Aria to make such a critical mistake.Public sentiment had turned sharply. The Chamber of Commerce was now being blamed for enabling an economic disaster. What angered the public most was Aria's carefully crafted image. If she'd shown her true colors from the start, they might have ignored her. But pretending to be righteous, only to betray the common peopleâthat w
