Chapter 1479 Sending You to Prison

Author: Night Eleven
Aria was standing downstairs in a suit. She exuded an air that was both masculine and feminine—cool yet mischievous.

Her dark eyes held no warmth. When she looked at people, it felt less like she was seeing them as living beings and more like she was peering through them.

Magdalene had never seen Aria up close before. Now that she had, an inexplicable dread crept over her. She instinctively took a step back as if Aria carried misfortune itself.

Aria approached with polite composure. If not for the dagger in her grip, she might have passed for an ordinary young woman greeting her elders.

"I remember what you told my mother, Aunt Laura." Her lips curled in a nonchalant smirk before her gaze shifted to Magdalene. "It seems you're unaware of what's been happening in Ludwiten, Mrs. Fitzroy Senior."

She gave a small shrug. "It doesn't matter. You'll find out soon enough. Since you're here, it saves me a trip to the Fitzroy residence."

From the moment Aria appeared, Magdalene hadn't lo

    Laura's marriage to Eamon had never been honorable. Naturally, she pinned her hopes on her son to redeem herself. But right now, all she wanted were the Grisham Group shares.If a mother truly loved her child, she would fight for custody in a divorce. Yet Laura had left without hesitation, her hatred for Aria outweighing any affection for Jett. She had never even considered taking him with her.Jett wasn't a fool. Although he might not have understood everything before, it was crystal clear now. His mother and grandmother were cut from the same cloth.He had always assumed Magdalene manipulated Laura, seeing how hesitant she often seemed. But now, he realized they had always been on the same side. No amount of coercion would have worked if Laura hadn't already shared Magdalene's nature.She listened to Magdalene because, at her core, she was no different.Laura's words to Aria were venomous, a curse filled with malice. Jett glanced at Aria, wanting to apologize, but he knew an apo

    The sharp caw of a crow outside the car grated on Magdalene's nerves. She twirled her bracelet even faster, her expression darkening. "The Grisham family is doomed! Such ominous creatures appearing at their house in broad daylight—what a bad sign!"Laura glanced out the car window. The crow's presence unsettled her, and without hesitation, she instructed the driver to drive.Magdalene didn't waste any time. "Laura, handle this however you want. Our family has a legal team just like the Grishams. Let the lawyers take care of everything—don't say anything unnecessary."Lowering her gaze, she pondered for a moment. "You mentioned that Eamon has been staying out late for social events. We should focus on that.""He didn't betray me, though." Laura hesitated. Magdalene gave her a pointed look. "People will only take your side if he did. Use it to your advantage."Laura slowly nodded under her gaze. "I'll find some evidence.""Good. Our family is involved with the Draycotts now. Once

    Aria put her phone away and glanced at Jett. "Okay. I got it."If she had not needed to consider Jett's feelings, she could have handled the Fitzroy family even faster. "Did Grandpa agree?"Jett looked up. "Don't tell him. Grandpa's always protected me. That's why he hasn't been ruthless enough. You too. I know what's going on."Clyde held too many of the Fitzroy family's secrets. If he hadn't been concerned about Jett, Magdalene wouldn't have had a chance to slander them.Aria idly twirled a pen drive between her fingers. "It's not just for you. Sometimes, the way I do things doesn't align with the Grisham family's values.""I was born from a scheme, but I'm glad I was born into the Grisham family." Jett had matured. If this had happened before, he wouldn't have been able to handle it—his head would have been filled with endless doubts and dark thoughts.But now, he seemed more resolute. "Do what you have to. Just don't tell Grandpa. He'll worry about you.""How similar." Aria

    If Orion wanted to conceal his cash flow crisis, he first had to ensure Aria would keep quiet. But just as Aria issued her orders, news about the Draycott Group spread like wildfire.Headlines like "Unpaid Wages", "Mass Layoffs", and "Subsidiaries in Crisis" tore through the Draycott family like a raging storm.Despite the mounting scrutiny, the company could still weather the storm—so long as it remained profitable and continued paying taxes.However, a quick search revealed a troubling reality. Several Draycott Group subsidiaries had already shuttered. It was obvious that the company's problems ran deeper than mere rumors.The banks were the first to react. Normally, it was Orion who entertained bank officers, but now, the tables had turned. "Mr. Wrenwood, how can you believe such baseless rumors?"Naturally, Orion wouldn't admit the truth. "You know the Draycott family's assets well. It's just land holdings. Sure, I made a bad investment, but it's hardly a fatal blow."Alde

    The entire company was in turmoil. Employees from every department found it both shocking and unsettling—what were they supposed to do now that the company had run out of cash flow?Within half an hour, multiple hashtags about the Draycott family dominated social media. Initially, they had threatened legal action against those spreading so-called false rumors.Then, a bombshell dropped—news broke that Orion had been using company funds to support his personal stock trading, and the stocks he invested in had plummeted.While stock trading itself wasn't illegal, misusing company funds was a different matter entirely. If the reports were true, the Draycott Group's financial situation was dire.No one in the business world was naïve. It didn't take much effort to verify the claims, and soon, the truth became apparent—the rumors were likely true."Some of his closest associates are also struggling with cash flow," someone noted."Serves him right." Those who had been stifled by Orion'

    Magdalene's head spun. If not for the cane beside her, she would have collapsed. The Draycott family being investigated was unthinkable. That person would never allow it—unless they had already abandoned the Draycotts, letting them fall.The more she dwelled on it, the more her fear grew. The Draycotts were under investigation the moment she partnered with them. Which meant… their troubles had begun last week!"How could he lose money in the stock market when he had Lily Kent's guidance?" she thought.Her fingers dug into her palms. If the Draycott family's cash flow was truly in jeopardy, then the money she invested in them was as good as gone.Then, another realization struck her—the Draycotts had claimed to have set a trap for the Carvers. Yet, while they were crumbling, Aria remained unscathed.Magdalene couldn't comprehend it. She turned sharply to the person who had reported the news. "If the stock market is in such turmoil, what about the Carver family? What about Aria an

    Those words hit Magdalene like a punch to the gut. How could she admit now that Aria actually had real skills? She even had connections Magdalene knew nothing about. And those connections were more powerful than the Grishams' standing in Ludwiten. After all, playing the stock market required serious money to back her up! Magdalene's face grew paler as she stepped back, nervously twisting her bracelet between her fingers. Out of nowhere, she remembered what Aria had said at the Grisham residence. "I can bring the Fitzroy family down too." With a thud, Magdalene's head knocked against something as she stumbled backward. Her bracelet snapped, sending beads scattering across the floor with a soft clicking sound. "Ms. Kent! Someone get Ms. Kent!" That was Magdalene's gut reaction. She had a strong feeling that bad luck was coming. People would always turn to higher powers when they were in trouble. Magdalene was especially superstitious and hoped Lily might show her a way out

    The coldness in Orion's eyes revealed his true nature when he stared someone down. Lily trembled as they held her in front of Orion, whose face was twisted with rage. "Mr. Draycott, please listen. This stock market change was just bad luck. "What I told you was absolutely true, but somehow things changed. Give me another chance to make it up to you." With a loud smack, Orion slapped her across the face when she was done speaking. "Another chance? Who's going to give me another chance then?" Red finger marks appeared on Lily's cheek, making her cry out in pain. But Orion showed zero mercy as he grabbed her by the throat. "Remember what I said? If your predictions were wrong, I'd make you wish you were dead! "I put all my money in because of what you told me! And you tried to run? I dare you to try that again!" Lily felt like she was drowning, unable to breathe. After struggling for what felt like forever, Orion finally let go. Once she caught her breath, she calmed down. "

    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.

    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

    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

    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
