The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1447 The Grishams
Someone said, "Jett did not have to invest much at all. That worthless land was bought for just 50 million, so any small investment in it could turn into a gold mine. "The Fitzroys wouldn't have skipped an opportunity like this, right, Mrs. Grisham?"The wealthy wives chattered on. Laura could no longer sit still. She couldn't be bothered to stay for her beauty procedures anymore—she just wanted to rush home and see her son. She wanted to ask if he could still reach out to Aria. Her face turned pale with guilt. Someone spoke up for her with a light voice, "Don't give Mrs. Grisham a hard time. Didn't you hear? The Grisham family thought the land wasn't worth it and pulled out their investment.""What? They did?" This was like a cardinal sin in business partnerships. "I can't believe Mr. Grisham Senior would agree to this." Another woman chuckled. "Mr. Grisham Senior wouldn't be so unfeeling. He dotes on his granddaughter. I heard he's been sick and not managing things, so it

Jett was happy but still felt the news might not be reliable. He checked the documents several times before handing them to Clyde. "Grandpa, look at this! That's the land Aria bought!" Clyde knew Aria had her own plans, especially after talking with his old friend, Warren. He understood that Aria would not fall for anyone's tricks. Buying the land might have been her way of creating a false impression for the Draycotts. It distracted Orion from finding out that not only Fergus but also her investments were in the stock market. He and Warren always believed that spending 50 million to create a distraction was not a waste. Besides, it could also expose those who were stealing money and taking bribes. They never thought they could profit from this piece of land. In fact, they had planned to sell half of it at a loss later or maybe use it for growing fruit trees. But this document clearly spelled out what this development meant. This wasn't just about making a profit—it could becom

Clyde froze after hearing this. He reached out and gently patted Jett's head. "Jett, you don't need to apologize to me. I see you've understood some important things. All these days of learning from Aria haven't been wasted. "I thought you might give up or be wary of Aria, thinking she came to take your position as the Grisham family heir. But you didn't. "Aria has told me about some things you've done, including your sponsorship for Isaiah. And when your mom made you withdraw your investment and locked you at home, you still sneaked out of the house to tell Aria the truth. "Even when you knew you might lose money, you still gave Aria all the savings you'd collected over the years. You didn't break your word or stab Aria in the back. And you didn't just believe whatever others told you like before. "You've developed your own judgment. Jett, I never expected you could do this." Clyde took a deep breath. "I was too stubborn before and didn't consider things from your perspectiv
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1450 Exciting Things Ahead
This was a tactic that many business leaders used. People always thought Aria was too young to accomplish much and lacked patience. In reality, it was completely the opposite. Everyone who had worked with her knew that she was the best at applying knowledge from one area to another. And she would never reveal her cards easily. Take Lily's situation, for example—in her previous life, Lily had certainly lived longer than Aria. After all, in her dream, Aria had quickly passed away from illness after being sent away by Owen. She never had the chance to learn about the future information that Lily knew. In this aspect, Lily definitely had an advantage over everyone else because she had foresight. How could Aria counter this? That was the question she had been considering since discovering Lily was a reborn. She needed to use what she had learned from criminal investigation. By analyzing the actions of those who benefited, she could work backward to the facts. From Orion's moves, s
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1451 The Gambler's Fallacy
The Chamber of Commerce members accompanying Orion were not very happy about this. But after thinking it through, while they lost money on that piece of land, their main play was still the stock market. So they did not abandon Orion and even tried to figure out how to calm him down. They showered him with flattery as they were afraid of being kicked out. After all, this was what Lily had predicted, and she had never been wrong about these things before. Lily did not know that her prediction about the land acquisition was wrong. She was out shopping, and people followed behind her, carrying bags of all sizes. Every bit the socialite, she even invited some ladies out for afternoon tea. This time, she noticed many people lining up outside the gold store in the mall. She asked someone nearby with mockery in her voice, "What's going on here? Is gold worthless now, so everyone's grabbing it up?" Her companions did not know either and shook their heads. Lily pursed her lips with a

Laura said, "Mom, the Land Planning Department just announced which land will be developed. The winning bid wasn't the piece the Draycott family acquired—it was the piece you schemed to have Aria buy!" With a loud crash, Magdalene's teacup fell from her hand. Fragments of the cup scattered across the floor. Her body was shaking, unable to accept this reality. "That's impossible! Apollo assured me it was worthless land. And wasn't Bellebrook the land Aria was interested in? How could it be developed? This can't be true!" "It's all over the news!" Laura tapped open something on her phone screen to show Magdalene. Magdalene trembled as she snatched the phone. Laura clenched her fists. "And you just announced to everyone that Jett was withdrawing his investment and wouldn't be involved with this land! Then immediately after, they had a meeting and announced that this land would be developed. "Mom, you're not the only one embarrassed—so am I! How am I supposed to explain this to
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1453 The Stock Market Opens
Magdalene continued, "Eamon can't afford to divorce you either. Don't forget how much his net worth is. If he agreed to divorce, he'd have to give you half his assets. "Money aside, he'd need to give you half his shares too. That would be a significant blow to the Grisham family. Even if he agreed, someone as clever as Clyde wouldn't allow it." Magdalene had studied this area thoroughly, and the tactics she used were sneaky as well. Given Eamon's circumstances back then, he never would have chosen to marry Laura, so Magdalene had to do something about it. The Grishams valued their reputation, and Eamon had a strong sense of responsibility. That was why Laura naturally ended up marrying him. After all these years, the facts proved her methods were effective. How else would she have a grandson who was completely devoted to her? As for what those methods were, anyone who reads novels would be familiar—when a woman admired a man, she would come up with schemes to get him into bed
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1454 Gold Prices Skyrocket
The lines displayed on the screen all hit Orion like a punch to the gut. The smile on his face vanished in an instant. One line stood out dramatically. It was gold—which they had expected to plummet! "What? How can gold stock prices rise?" Orion's eyes looked like they were about to shoot flames. They had been promised that as soon as the afternoon market opened, the price difference would appear! The price difference was there alright, but in just one morning, gold had risen by ten dollars per share! What did a ten-dollar increase per share mean? For perspective, some listed companies during hard times opened at just a few dollars per share. They could barely maintain their basic shareholders, and investors certainly weren't interested in these companies. If a stock could survive at a few dollars per share, imagine what it meant to rise by ten dollars per share at market opening. Without a doubt, those who bought gold certainly did not lose money. Not only that, but thos

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
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 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

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
