Chapter 1342 Misunderstanding

작가: Night Eleven
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

  • The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 1343 Her Ideal Business Empire

    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

  • The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 1344 Mole

    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

  • The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 1345 Reborn

    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.

  • The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 1346 New Beginnings

    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. If her informat

  • The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 1347 Explaining to Jett

    "I need to inform you that Jeff needs to be with me at all times." Aria looked at Clyde without saying the reason. After all, there might be outsiders listening in. Plus, she couldn't achieve the desired effect without if she explained further. Jett, who was midway through adding food to his plate, froze. For the first time in a while, a trace of emotion surfaced on his otherwise blank face. He couldn't fathom why Aria, someone he had only just met, insisted on him following her.His thoughts were already in disarray from earlier events. Aria's sudden involvement felt tangled with his Uncle Robert's departure, and Jett couldn't sort out how he felt about her.Though Robert was a distant relative from his maternal grandmother's side, he had always been a familiar presence in the Grisham residence and treated Jett with kindness.But if not for Eamon pulling him aside to explain Robert's actions, Jett would never have guessed that his uncle had betrayed the Grisham family.Why would

  • The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 1348 Huge Mistake

    Waymond patted Jett's shoulder and laughed heartily. "You're indeed like me. We're both gullible and headstrong. We easily pity others and get deceived too."The financial records Aria handed him were indeed a disaster he'd sown himself back in his early days, trusting the wrong people. Waymond said straightforwardly, "It's good for you to follow Aria."Jett only reckoned that Aria was a good fighter. As for the other aspects, he thought he was still more knowledgeable despite his lack of talent. After all, he was older than her and had graduated from a business school.Despite thinking that, Jett could only nod under such circumstances. While Aria understood what he was thinking, she kept quiet.Just then, Aria's phone buzzed with a call from Sam. He didn't say anything but tapped his fingers lightly against the microphone. Aria smiled and said dotingly, "Okay. I'll go and take a look later. Are you hungry? Make sure you eat something."Sam had an aloof expression as he sent

  • The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 1349 Information About Jett

    However, Jett had no choice but to listen to Clyde."Okay." Jett stood up and glanced at Eamon. He worried his parents might argue over what had happened earlier. Eamon met Jett's gaze with an unreadable expression. "Listen to what Aria says when you're outside."Jett mumbled, "Okay."Aria reminded Clyde as she packed up. "Grandpa, I've arranged for someone to send you medicine. Since you don't have a butler right now, I found a suitable candidate. He'll bring the medicine tonight and prepare it according to the prescription."You need to follow my advice. You should exercise more, don't get stressed, and make sure your room stays well-ventilated."Clyde's heart warmed. Aria had barely eaten a few bites before preparing to head out again, and yet she hadn't given up on Jett. She'd even taken him along with her.He understood her intentions. While it appeared she was helping Jett, she was actually introducing him to the family's business world."Mom, take care of Grandpa. I fee

  • The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 1350 Compromising Situation

    It all began with Jett's so-called friends and connections—many of whom were tied to his mother's side of the family. Aria quickly realized their true intention wasn't to destroy the Grisham family but to pull Jett closer to their circle. As the future heir of the Grisham family, Jett was a valuable asset. To win his favor, they indulged his every whim and even orchestrated friendships for him. Some of those connections were with the Draycott family's men.Aria had taken great care to filter out anyone with links to the Grishams. Even so, she was stunned to find she had overlooked two people in Jett's circle. If she hadn't checked the IP address behind the video Isaiah just sent, those two would have remained hidden.The bigger the family, the more tangled the web of relationships. Aria had never felt that way about her own family—her brothers weren't married, and the Carver family had few extended relatives. But the Grishams were another story entirely. Missing even the smallest d

    Aria had once told Sam to avoid chaos if he could—but 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 tough—it 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 her—her bodyguard—who 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 resist—he'd seen what she was capable of.And she'd made her warning crystal clear—if 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 her—fresh, 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

  • The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 1621 The Grishams and Carvers Are Gone

    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 class—but 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's—""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 Murray—the 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

    "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 way—with 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

    "Mr. Grisham, how long your niece stays locked up isn't up to us—it 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 people—that w

    Dave smiled, clearly enjoying the desperation on Lewis' face. "Also, you won't be getting any more orders. Your supervisor is going to help us delete every report you've ever submitted. What a shame, Lewis. You risked your life on the front lines, only for someone else to reap the rewards behind your back. If I were you, I'd stop being so loyal. Wouldn't it be better to join us?"He was trying to manipulate Lewis, planting doubt and betrayal like poison. As Aria listened, her fists clenched slowly. Nothing crushed a person's spirit more than destroying their belief in what they stood for. They had exposed Lewis on purpose—to break his faith in the uniform he wore.The masked clients settled back into their seats, returning to their arrogant ease. They were reminded that they were above the law within these walls. No one from the outside could enter the premises, and if someone did, they wouldn't leave intact.These people had powerful connections. To them, the undercover cop was a

    Aside from Aria, who had initially refused the food, everything had seemed normal to Stephanie. After all, Aria eventually accepted a drink, and nothing else appeared out of the ordinary.But the more Stephanie thought about it, the deeper her frown became. A sense of unease crept in, and she instinctively lowered her microphone, ready to rush to the basement to check things for herself. Seeing her reaction, the wealthy clients began to panic.The woman in the fox mask stood up, clutching her bag tightly, and made for the exit. She feared she would actually be arrested if she stayed any longer. She had no intention of ending up in jail just for attending an auction, especially one like this. Most importantly, she couldn't afford to have her reputation tarnished.Like her, the rest of the crowd shared the same instinct—flee.Meanwhile, Aria narrowed her eyes as she subdued a bodyguard with one hand. She maintained firm but measured pressure with her left hand, ready to act the moment

  • The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 1615 Aria Was Exposed

    When Sasha heard the man mention the rare gem, her eyes narrowed slightly. Very few people knew about it. Only Dave and a handful of higher-ups were aware. She immediately wondered who had leaked the news.But the man's words had already ignited excitement across the auction floor."What? A rare gem?""It's been ages since we've seen one! I can't believe there's actually one today!"To these people, a rare gem referred to someone whose body was considered exceptionally valuable, blessed with natural fortune, vitality, and unmatched physical condition. It was believed that such a person couldn't fully harness the luck they were born with. But if someone else could acquire it...Not only could they preserve their youth and beauty, but their careers and fortunes could be transformed. The idea sent a thrill through the room, and their greed quickly became impossible to hide.Sasha realized the situation was slipping out of her control. She reached for her communicator to contact Dave,
