Chapter 1353 Fired

Penulis: Night Eleven
Aurelia shot a glance at Jett as she spoke, convinced he wouldn't heed Aria's demand to fire her. After all, Jett had always been considerate to his employees.

But Jett's response was sharper than anything he had said since entering the shop. "Pack your things and leave."

Aurelia froze. "You can't! Mr. Grisham, I need this job—I have rent due next month. You can't just fire me!"

She turned to Aria, her eyes burning with resentment. "This is all because of you. You rich people think you can look down on us. You have no idea what it's like to be an ordinary person!"

"Your words are an insult to ordinary people," Aria replied coolly, staying put to watch how Jett would handle it. She also wanted to see if he would understand how someone like Aurelia had ended up working in his store in the first place.

Jett's mind flashed to the scene at the Grisham residence, and realization dawned. Aurelia and his Uncle Robert were cut from the same cloth.

Until now, Jett had wondered if there had

    Aria glanced at Jett. "A girl selling flowers on the street could outsell your sales attendant. Being the top seller in your store isn't exactly a badge of honor."Jett felt the sting of her words but remained silent. He couldn't shake the feeling that Aria didn't like him much.However, more pressing matters weighed on him today. His shop was riddled with issues, and now his best friend—also the shop's supervisor—had been missing for over ten minutes. Jett's face darkened.One of the sales attendants leaned in and whispered, "Mr. Draycott is in the meeting room on the fourth floor."After hearing that, Jett turned and strode upstairs. Even before they reached the door, they heard loud, crude laughter. Inside, two men sat sprawled out—one with his legs crossed, the other holding a cigarette. Both tapped away on their phones."This chick's got a body on her," one snickered. "Check out her chest!""Haha! We should ask her out."Jett felt a wave of nervousness. He shot a glance a

    "Luka explained, "It's nothing much. One of my overseas contacts managed to bring in a new batch of goods—trendy, high-demand items. Very profitable. We'll be swimming in cash once it arrives in a couple of days."He flashed a grin at Jett. "It's all thanks to Jett that we could import such precious goods."Jett's brows furrowed. Luka's words sounded off. He couldn't put his finger on it, but something felt wrong.Luka only dared to speak so freely because Jett had spent most of his life overseas, ignorant of Farshya's local affairs. And Aria? He dismissed her entirely, assuming a young woman wouldn't know anything.His confidence wavered, though, when he caught Aria's gaze. The seemingly harmless woman's expression had shifted into something sharp and unsettling."So, which port are the goods arriving at?" she asked, her tone deceptively light.Luka faltered, scrambling for a response. But before he could stammer out an answer, Aria toyed with her car keys and added nonchalantly

    Luka and Axel were secretly taken away. Jett barely registered the plainclothes officers who had appeared out of nowhere—his focus had shifted to the phone Aria now held out. It belonged to his so-called best friend.A sinking feeling consumed Jett. This latest betrayal was a brutal lesson, one that forced him to rethink everything.His phone wouldn't stop ringing—calls from his maternal grandmother's relatives. Before Aria came into the picture, he would have answered every call, perhaps even begged his grandfather for leniency. But now? He had half a mind to blacklist them all.Jett had always thought foreign corporations offered more freedom. He hadn't fully appreciated how rare and resilient the Grisham family was to have survived the upheavals of each passing era without falling apart.Frustration overwhelmed him. He gripped his hair and clutched his head.Aria, meanwhile, felt satisfied. Her plan had worked better than expected. Jett's entanglement was the perfect bait to tr

    Clary immediately gave Aria a thumbs-up. Aria leaned casually with one hand draped over the car door, exuding the effortless air of a cool CEO. "Clary, could you ask the crew to assign us a cameraman?"Given the request came from Aria, the cameramen were quick to respond. It wasn't just about lending a hand—it was an opportunity. Everyone in the industry knew that Aria's content always went viral. They didn't know what she had planned, but they knew it would be headline-worthy.Clary picked two of the most experienced cameramen and added a video production manager to Aria's team for support.As she started the car, Aria nodded at the production crew standing by. "Thank you, everyone. Good luck with the shoot. Clary, please help hand out the gifts."The crew all knew Aria planned to take Leon somewhere. Since she had already informed them, they didn't interfere. Luckily, Aria had turned down Elijah's offer to tag along.Aria was known for her thoughtful gestures. She would brin

    Canned peaches were too cheap and too old-fashioned. They couldn't even catch the public's attention anymore. Isaiah reflected bitterly. Age weighed on him—he couldn't keep up with the times or learn fast enough. Many had advised him to give in and step aside. After all, with ice cream and milkshake shops booming, who still craved canned peaches?He didn't deny the truth but had tried to adapt. Still, Aria told him to wait—there was one last chance.Suddenly, it all felt worth it. Whether the factory survived or not, Isaiah vowed to properly distribute the final batch. After hanging up the call, he headed to the factory, uncertain of Aria's plans. He stuck to his routine.That was exactly what Aria had anticipated. She hadn't acted earlier because the timing wasn't right. Now, the Carver Group sprang to action with her single message. Their previous experience meant no time was wasted. They immediately sent a legal notice to the person who had posted the video.Orion had undere

    Leon's sudden appearance in a live stream caused a stir. Anyone familiar with the entertainment industry knew that once a celebrity entered a set, they vanished from the public eye.After a period of absence, making a comeback on screen would generate even more significant buzz. His fans had been waiting for so long!Fans didn't need hashtag campaigns or trending topics to spread Leon's return. In his absence, they had survived on replays of old variety shows, joking about his disappearance. So, the moment he popped up on the screen, the comment section exploded.Leon didn't need to say or do anything—his presence alone sent them into a frenzy. Only after their initial excitement wore off did they start asking questions."Wait. You're not on set. Why do you look like you're in the suburbs?""The director let you leave? That's wild.""Oh, my goodness. Babe, look here! Guys, he has a new haircut.""I screenshotted it. He's too handsome.""Wait. Why are you in the car?"Leon chuc

    Hannah wanted to ask the people who had criticized their factory during the live stream what they had done wrong, but she held herself back. Confronting them might scare away the few loyal customers who were still buying their products. When a surge of viewers flooded the live stream, Hannah braced for more scolding. However, as she focused on the incoming comments, she realized they weren't criticizing her."Miss, what's the new ambassador's favorite product? Why can't I find it in the link?"Ambassador? Hannah hadn't heard anything about this."I want to buy it so badly. Can the host put up the link now? I'm afraid it will sell out!""Girls, there are fewer than 100 items left in each link! No matter what he likes, we need to act fast. Host, notice me! I want the mystery box!"Hannah found her voice at last. "Everyone, is there some sort of misunderstanding?"Isaiah had once considered finding ambassadors to promote their products, but all had turned him down. They claimed th

    The employee breathed a sigh of relief and replied with sign language. This caused everyone watching the live stream to feel baffled."Wait, does anyone know what he's saying? And since when does my idol know sign language? He's so talented!""I'm deaf-mute," one viewer explained in the chat. "Leon asked him how to get to the factory's livestream room. The employee told him to take a right and offered to guide him. He also asked if Leon was from the media and wanted to apologize.""Apologize? What for?""I know about this! I just caught up on the drama. A reporter visited to conduct an undercover investigation and asked the man the same questions."They thought he was impatient because he was signaling urgently, and they edited the video to make it seem like he was being rude.""What the heck?

    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 Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 1631 You Cannot Afford to Offend Him

    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

    Landon's sudden appearance wasn't just a coincidence. With Aria's intelligence, she would figure something out soon—he knew that. He hadn't planned on revealing himself like this. But something that belonged to him was here, and the demonic energy in this place… Aria couldn't face it alone.She studied him from head to toe, her hand still in his. His grip was firm, protective."There's a lot of mist ahead," he said quietly. "We'll need to tread carefully."Aria tilted her head. "You speak like you know this place well.""I do," Landon replied with a calm honesty. "I was deathly ill once. My soul wandered into a place just like this. Homer pulled me back."His voice made it sound like a distant memory, and Aria gave a soft laugh, tightening her hold on his hand. "You really are full of surprises. I guess it's true—handsome men are the most dangerous."But Aria's thoughts were racing. Why had he come after her like this, knowing it would reveal parts of himself he'd tried to keep h

    Landon was still handling the stragglers behind Aria when he paused, his gaze flicking upward. Cameras were mounted in every corner—too many eyes. Vanishing without a trace wasn't an option.He glanced in Aria's direction, then lowered his head. His lips moved in a whisper, but the sounds were incomprehensible—something rhythmic, otherworldly. It was less like a speech and more like a chant—an exorcism.Meanwhile, Dave descended into the underground, calm and unrushed. That place reeked of foul energy, dense and suffocating. His master had cast a spell over it—one designed to kill anyone who dared to enter, no matter their strength. Dave wasn't afraid. He had more pressing priorities—destroying documents, erasing traces, minimizing damage.His bodyguard stayed close, watching for anyone who might try to stop them.Aria, moving swiftly, reached the lower floor—only to halt. Mist curled along the ground, thickening with every step. The air turned icy. And the corridor behind her…

    "Why would there be people outside?" asked Dave. He had been disguising himself as a doctor for years, and that was the first time he looked so anxious. After all, if someone did approach their building, the villagers would have informed them about it. However, they received no news this time.Dave wondered what was going on."Dr. Dave, what should we do now? I think we're surrounded!"He was still in his coat as he slightly clenched his fists. "Let's move out. Bring the girls in the basement with us.""T-They're not in the basement."When Dave heard that, he looked furious. "What do you mean they're not in the basement?""Someone took them away, and I'm guessing it was her fault!" The bodyguard pointed at Aria, who was standing on the highest point, showing off her skills. With swift, lethal kicks and a taser turned weapon, no one dared get close.Whoever touched Aria would die, and no one dared to approach her at all.As for Landon, he still had his mask on as he stood behind

    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 town—it'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

    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. Please—carry on, everyone."Aria listened in stunned silence. Landon hadn't lied. His life

    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 saying—but 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 bidding—congratulations to our newest member, Mr. Tiger—""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
