Chapter 1338 The Draycott Family

Author: Night Eleven
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

    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

    Eamon froze, caught off guard by Aria's bluntness. As sharp as ever, she was shielding him from a difficult situation, but he knew it was time to clean house. His heart swelled. It was like no time had passed. Aria was still the same bold, straightforward girl, her love for family as strong as ever."I'll call Jett here," he said, casting a cold glance at Robert. His marriage and dealings with his wife's family needed to be handled—decisively.Aria trusted Eamon to handle the bigger issues. If her aunt's interference was accidental, fine. But if intentional, Aria knew Eamon wouldn't allow the Grisham family to be jeopardized.In prominent families, watching the women of the house had always been critical.Half the Grisham household staff had already been dismissed without pay. Those who once threatened to air family secrets were now too scared to stir trouble.Meanwhile, Robert had been quietly taken away by Aria's men. No one could contact him. She had also discreetly handed ov

    The moment Priscilla recognized the woman's voice on the phone, she froze. It was Fiona's daughter.Aria pressed her foot harder on Robert. "Ms. Draycott, I've always been curious about how you looked before all those plastic surgeries. I saw for myself today—old and ugly. Now I understand your desperation to be beautiful. But didn't anyone tell you? You'll never replace my mother. Trash like you will always stay trash.""You!" Priscilla shot up from her chair, trembling with rage. A loud crack echoed as Robert's wrist snapped.Aria chuckled. "Ms. Draycott, I'll be sending you a gift by courier. Make sure you sign for it."Priscilla was too shaken to respond. Her face was pale, and fear rippled through her. She dreaded that Aria might send Robert to her—if not worse. She had no idea what Aria planned next.Jett walked in just in time to witness the scene. He had come back to the Grisham residence, puzzled as to why his father had summoned him. But now, all he could see was a you

    Jett finally broke the silence. "Wait a minute. Is there some kind of misunderstanding here?"Aria raised an eyebrow, her tone dropping. "Are you planning to beg for mercy?"Jett, unlike most of the Grisham family, wasn't as domineering but cared deeply about his kin. "We should talk it out, no matter what happened. We're still family."Aria nodded slightly. "Clearing things up is best." She gestured for Robert to be thrown onto the ground. "Speak. I'm listening."Terrified after recent events, Robert didn't dare hold anything back. He confessed how he had betrayed the Grisham family, toyed with their trust, and sabotaged Fiona's return.Jett was left stunned. He looked as if his entire worldview had shattered. "You're saying Ms. Draycott ordered all this? That can't be true!"Turning to his father, he pleaded, "Dad, this doesn't make sense!"Eamon took a deep breath and said lowly, "How did I end up with a son like you?"Jett clenched his fists. "I know you and Grandpa don't t

    Waymond furrowed his eyebrows. "Aria, you saying…""I want to establish an alliance with the Carver family, the Grisham family, and those old companies who are willing to team up with us," Aria explained.She continued, "By sharing resources and promoting mutual benefits, we can elevate domestic brands onto the world stage. This approach won't just enhance our competitiveness—it will help us fend off external threats and break into larger overseas markets. Mr. Katz and the others will be our first teammates."Surprise flashed through Waymond's gaze. He had never encountered anyone from the younger generation with such bold ambition and vision.He stood, clearly uneasy. "That's an impressive plan, but implementing it won't be easy. To stand against external forces, we must be united. But unity in the business world is a pipe dream. Resources here are finite. If one company profits from a project, another is losing out."Trust is already fragile. If they don't sabotage each other, i

    Waymond was sure of one thing—he would be taken away for investigation by the authorities. Regardless of the outcome, the Grisham family's stocks would plummet. With Clyde's health condition, he might not be able to take the toll. Eamon would also be too busy to deal with everything.Although Waymond was not afraid of going to jail, he worried the Grisham family would collapse if he did. However, he couldn't seem to recall where the financial record came from. If it involved property development, it must have been from his early years.Waymond finally understood why Aria wanted to talk to him privately. Only he could know about this."Aria, trust me. I've never broken the law in my business career. Does this involve the Grisham family?" Waymond asked, flipping through the documents."Yes. This is Orion's backup plan," Aria admitted, laying out the entire story. She wanted to warn him to be vigilant—and test his reaction.Although Aria trusted her family, she couldn't ignore the

    Orion flipped the coffee table, sending the fruit platter and wine glasses crashing to the floor. His glare pinned Lily in place, his voice sharp as a blade. "Are the stocks you predicted truly accurate, or is this just a scam?""I-It's accurate." Lily was not stupid. She understood what her value was. If she said she wasn't 100 percent sure, he would kill her.However, Orion didn't seem to believe her. He narrowed his eyes and questioned, "Don't tell me you figured it all out on your own. If you're so talented, why didn't you predict the fourth item at today's meeting would be a phone?"He wasn't a fool. Orion was as sharp as they came, and few could outmaneuver him. For the first time, Lily's usual web of lies had failed.Years of watching the couple's schemes—kidnappings, deceptions—had taught her to act convincingly. Yet now, she hadn't anticipated how far Orion would go.Lily shuddered. "I-I'm not that talented—""I'll give you two options." His smile turned cold, predatory.

    Despite her fear, Lily held tightly to Orion's hand as she stood.Orion paused, considering his words before speaking. "Your experience is certainly shocking but not entirely hard to believe. As it happens, Aria will be tied up with other matters for the next few days. Why not use this time to prove yourself? Tell me what's about to happen."Lily, showing more composure this time, promptly responded. "A famous novel is about to announce its TV adaptation."Orion's brows knit together. The news didn't interest him, but it could be the perfect way to confirm Lily's claim of being reborn. "Who's the director, and how are they promoting it?"Lily rattled off the details with ease, then added, "The authorities will announce development plans for land east of the bridge in a few days. But I'm not sure of the exact location.""The slums on the east side?" Orion asked, skeptical. Everyone in Ludwiten knew developing that area was a long shot.Still, he saw an opportunity.

    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

    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

    Aliya had never heard of the Special Missions Unit until today. But after seeing Pedro's panicked reaction, it didn't take long for her to realize that this was a group with more authority than even her father.Still, some people lived so long in privilege that they convinced themselves they were untouchable. Logic no longer applied to them.Aria was done entertaining Aliya's ignorance. With a flick of her wrist, she signaled someone to silence her. Then, she turned to Aliya with icy disdain."Don't worry," Aria said. "I'll take you with me when I pay your father a visit. Then we can ask him together what his name truly means in this state."Her voice was calm but sharp."You seem to have forgotten that his power—any power—comes from the people. And now, you're using that power to treat their lives like currency. To buy yourself a life of superiority."She stepped closer. "Organ trafficking is illegal here. That's the crime we've confirmed so far. But don't worry. We'll find the

    When Pedro heard that it was the Special Missions Unit, his forehead was covered in sweat immediately. Even his mind had gone blank. At that moment, all he could think about was how doomed they were!Others might not have heard of the unit before. However, as a state official, there was no way Pedro wouldn't know them. In fact, the Special Missions Unit was something they had no control over.Technically, the Special Missions Unit had way more clearance than they did. After all, they were in charge of big cases. Sometimes, they would even work with the special troops.The Special Missions Unit belonged to the country, and they were extremely mysterious. Even people with high clearance wouldn't know who they were in real life.Pedro only managed to find his voice after a long time. As he wiped the sweat off his forehead, he chuckled awkwardly."Oh, this is all a misunderstanding. May I know who I am speaking to? I never expected the Special Missions Unit to be carrying out a missio

    Aliya had never met Aria before, but this was the first time she'd seen a young woman more poised—and far more arrogant—than herself. That only fueled her rage. And the fact that Aria was stunningly beautiful didn't help either.Scoffing, she snapped, "Do you dare let us make our calls? Let's see if you still look so smug after that."The other wealthy attendees stiffened. None of them moved. With Aria in the room, they had the sinking feeling that calling in favors wouldn't end well.Aria merely tilted her head and smiled. "Of course," she said, then turned to her team. "Please hand this lady her phone. Let her make her call."The members of the Special Missions Unit didn't question her. They knew Aria well enough to understand what she was doing—she wanted the bigger fish. The call would be recorded, and with any luck, it would lead them straight to someone higher up the chain.Aliya was momentarily thrown off by Aria's easy agreement. But she quickly chalked it up to ignorance.

    Aliya squinted at the unmasked man beside Aria. Now that his face was fully visible, something about him sparked a flicker of recognition. She lowered her gaze, trying to recall where she'd seen him before.Then a sharp gasp cut through the air."He's from the York family… Janovin's York family! Wait—was he Mr. Crow? Were they working together the whole time?"Even though they were all wealthy people, they weren't in the same ranks. No one dared to mess with the York family at all.If the circumstances were different, the arrogant, wealthy people from earlier would've tried to exchange contacts with Landon. That way, they could've partnered up in the future. However, with what had happened that day, those people were in a daze.Meanwhile, Aria knew those people still had no idea what was going on. So, she just removed her disguise and showed them who she really was.Aliya was stunned by what Aria had done. When she saw who the latter truly was, her gaze was filled with jealousy.

    The wealthy clients that were left behind at the auction had connections to powerful people, and Dave didn't think Aria was capable enough to deal with every one of them. Although Farshya was well-developed, it had always been a country that focused on connections.Power meant everything, and Dave wanted to see how Aria and her team would deal with his guests. If he remembered correctly, Aliya was the daughter of a great leader in the state. She wanted a womb from a young lady because she wanted to have children.Before the clients got what they wanted, Aria had offended a lot of big shots. Dave thought about it for a second and hoped Aria would suffer as much as he did.Dave was right about one thing. Aliya wasn't anxious at all when someone infiltrated the auction and took control of the event. She was only stunned for a moment at first. Once everything had settled down, she calmed down and even looked a little proud."I suggest you talk to your leader first before deciding to cu

    Dave had escaped, but just barely.He'd saved his life, nothing more. The documents he needed to destroy were still intact. Everything had gone completely off script.Every exit had been sealed. If he hadn't killed a villager and disguised himself with a spell, he would've died at the auction. He didn't receive any news about the ambush and was caught entirely off guard.He wasn't in Janovin, and security was that tight there. With his connections, he could've found out what was going to happen in advance. However, that wasn't the case at all.Slipping into a grimy back alley, Dave cursed his luck. Most of his men had been rounded up in the village. He could only hope a few had managed to slip through. But with sirens wailing in the distance, he knew hope was thin."Who the hell was that?" he muttered, wiping dirt off his face with a shaking hand. Normally a stickler for cleanliness, Dave was too rattled to care. "And where's the real Eden?"His mind snapped into action. The scho
