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
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1455 Missing His Chance
So what if gold prices were skyrocketing? A stock rising so abnormally was never a good thing. Anyone who traded stocks would know this was a sign of an impending crash. Aria could celebrate all she wanted today. But by tomorrow, Orion's three stocks would soar together and crush the Carvers! Orion was too used to being arrogant since he had powerful backing. He did not believe Aria could really beat him. After all, once his capital started rolling, it would be five times what the Grisham family had! When Arlo heard that Orion wanted to continue pouring huge amounts of money into the stock market. his first reaction was to find Harlan Wexford, the Draycott Group's financial officer. Harlan shook his head. "No way. Mr. Draycott can continue to increase his position, but if he wants to divert funds from my department, it will likely cause a shortage in the company's finances. "If relevant authorities find out about this, it will be very troublesome. They'll issue external warni
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1456 Pressure Aria
The other Chamber of Commerce members had already completed their additional investments. This caused Orion to feel extremely displeased.Thankfully, he had hired a professional trader who was quick on his feet. The trader had successfully added the investment half an hour before the stock market closed.Orion finally heaved a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness I made it in time. It's all the financial officer's fault. Does he think he's the boss just because he handles the money?"The Chamber of Commerce had heard the argument just now. "Mr. Draycott, do you have any personal connections with the financial officer?"Orion took a drag from his cigarette. "He used to be one of my underlings. He's just a country bumpkin. I hired him because he was smart and used to have good grades in school. He even got a scholarship to study abroad."If he wasn't good with numbers, I wouldn't have hired him.""You'll need to be careful, Mr. Draycott. Financial officers can be very ruthless when gett

The bodyguard's smile was quite unsettling. "Don't worry, Mr. Draycott. I'll take care of this. I remember Mr. Wexford has a daughter in junior high…"Orion glanced at him. "Don't make a scene. Do it quietly.""Of course." Despite his answer, the idea he had in mind differed from that. He planned to screw Harlan over. After all, he had heard that Harlan was in the process of resigning.Orion didn't bother with the further details. After all, nothing of that was important to him. He only cared about his stocks.…Meanwhile, Aria averted her gaze from the computer when the stock market finally closed. Not only was she tired, but she was also starving. She felt like she could eat a cow right now!"Let's find a place to eat some stew." Aria placed her laptop down and started to navigate for nearby restaurants.Landon sat in the passenger seat and arched an eyebrow. "You earned so much, but you only want to eat stew?""Yup. Stew is enough for me. I like eating it." Aria started to
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1458 A Call From Laura
Aria's thoughts were all over the place. Perhaps she was too tired, or maybe it was Landon's scent. She furrowed her brows as black mist curled around her, even her gaze shifting with it.Sensing the growing surge of bad karma, Landon chose not to push forward. Instead, he reached out and covered her eyes. "It's been a while since you asked for consultation fees from me."This time, he didn't pull her toward his neck. Instead, he bit his finger and pressed his lips to hers.With her vision blocked, Aria's consciousness wavered, slipping toward drowsiness. She only snapped out of it when the phone she'd dropped under the car seat started ringing. Blinking away the haze, she grabbed Landon's wrist and twisted it in a swift reversal.Her hair brushed against his face as she loomed over him, eyes tinged with red beneath her cool demeanor. "My phone is ringing."Landon turned his head slightly, revealing his sharp side profile, his elegance undisturbed.Retrieving her phone, she s
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1459 Disrespectful
Laura's voice dripped with resentment as she confronted Aria. Aria, unfazed, twirled the blade she had whisked out of nowhere. Her tone was indifferent. "Yes, Aunt Laura. Are you saying all this just to get me to share some profit with the Fitzroy family? Or do you want me to secure a spot for your family in the project bidding?"Laura stiffened. She hadn't expected Aria to catch on so quickly. She was much sharper than she had assumed.It brought Laura back to the first time she met Aria—a baby lying in a crib, wearing a tiger hat, smiling at everyone—everyone except Laura.Back then, Laura had just married into the Grisham family and given birth to Jett. She had felt an inexplicable sense of rejection from the child, and it displeased her. But there was nothing she could do about it. Eamon doted on Aria because of Fiona, showering her with the best things in Janovin. Clyde and his wife treated Aria like a precious jewel, calling her a blessing—cheerful, dominant, and full of l
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1460 Lose Everything
Laura ended the call angrily. Never in her life had she been this angry. She had been raised to embody grace, elegance, and composure. As Eamon's wife, she had perfected the role expected of her in the Grisham family, always appearing poised and refined. But today, all of that restraint had shattered.The butler stared at her in shock as she fumed, breath heavy with frustration.She had never expected Aria to submit easily, but the woman was far more defiant than anticipated. Not only had she refused to comply, but she had also dared to hint at an even greater ambition—dealing with the Fitzroy family once the Draycotts were out of the way."She's delusional if she thinks she can take on the Fitzroys," Laura scoffed, her voice sharp with disbelief. "She has no idea who she's up against."After letting it all out, she tried to gather herself together. Her driver then approached her. "Mrs. Grisham, perhaps it's best to take a step back and consider alternative strategies. Didn't Mrs

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

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
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
