The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1539 The Truth
Lily's heart pounded wildly, her frantic expression betraying the fear she couldn't conceal. If not for her past life's memories, her true identity would have remained buried forever. She knew better than anyone that the real daughter of the Kent family had died long ago. But Olivia, her cunning mother from the countryside, had spun a lie and even tampered with the DNA test. After all, Lily bore a striking resemblance to the child the Kent family had lost—the one they had exchanged years ago.As Lily lived with her past memories, she knew better than anyone else that the Kent family's daughter was dead and buried. Olivia's goal had been simple—use Lily to secure wealth. If the Kent family came looking, she would claim Lily as her own. After all, Olivia could forge hospital records with ease, leaving no trace behind. Even now, modern DNA tests could be manipulated with the right connections. The kidnappers had their own ways of making things work—otherwise, Lily's identity would
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1540 Lily Is Crazy
Aria stepped forward, her gaze cold. "I don't care whether you live or die. I overlooked everything you did back then because I saw you as Grandma's last living relative. "Thanks to Grandma's biological granddaughter, I was brought back to the Kent family 18 years ago. My parents didn't treat me well, but Grandma adored me. Because of that, I didn't grow up in a human trafficking village."I felt indebted to Grandma's biological daughter and wanted to repay her in some way. That's why I tolerated you for so long." Aria looked at Lily calmly. "And yet, you've just confirmed what I suspected all along. You're not Grandma's granddaughter. You're the daughter of that human trafficker."Lily's hands clenched, her expression shifting. Gone was the pitiful act—rage and vengeance twisted her face.She screamed, "So that makes me a villain? Do you think I chose to be the human trafficker's daughter?"Aria's voice was slow and measured. "Do you think it's unfair?"Lily's bitterness seeped
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1541 Terrified Beyond Measure
The words "previous life" hit Lily like a bitter wind in the dead of winter. She slowly raised her gaze to Aria, disbelief clouding her features. Lily stared at Aria as if she were some demonic entity that had no business being here. She couldn't understand how Aria knew about this.Lily could have accepted it if Aria knew of other things, but she had only confided in Orion about her reincarnation. Orion had no reason to share such a detail with Aria, especially when it seemed so inconceivable."Y-You…" Lily felt her body grow weak, as though her legs might betray her at any moment. No one had ever instilled this kind of terror in her before—not even Yonah. A cold wave of dread swept over her, and her shoulders hunched instinctively in fear.Lily now realized how much she resembled her parents. People like them only experienced true fear when confronted by someone more dangerous than they were.It was clear to Lily now—she posed no threat to Aria. In fact, Aria's strategies we

Lily fell silent, eyeing Aria warily. She hadn't expected Aria to bring up the Wagner family, especially since she had revealed nothing about them. Logically, Aria shouldn't have even noticed the family's existence. Lily's eyes darted around as she prepared to lie, but before she could, Aria let out a sudden chuckle that made Lily's fear intensify.A chill ran down Lily's spine. She didn't dare deceive Aria. The more she met Aria's gaze, the more she felt like her thoughts were being laid bare."The Wagner family used to be insignificant," Lily started, her voice tight. "They were never considered one of the top families in Janovin, only sub-par. But…"She paused, biting her lip as she gathered her thoughts."In my past life, the Wagner family became the biggest winner. After the Carver Group went under, they took over."Everyone thought they were just humble and polite. No one considered them a threat. But once they settled in Janovin, they expanded rapidly into the southern ma
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1543 The Wagner Family
Lily had always regretted not having a medical-related business in her previous life, and after her reincarnation, she was determined to make her mark in the pharmaceutical field. She knew it would prove useful in just a few months. Lily explained, "Most businesses suffered tremendous losses, especially in the physical sectors. Only those tied closely to people's essential needs thrived. Cinemas shut down, and supermarkets saw the most profit aside from medical supplies."She continued, "The Wagner family used this opportunity to solidify their dominance. After that, no other family could even come close to their standing in the business world.""Mr. Wagner Senior is incredibly capable." Lily's words caught Aria's attention."Just how capable?" Aria's question was pointed, aimed at getting more than just a surface-level answer.Lily's eyes flickered briefly. "Anyone managing such a vast enterprise has to be competent."Aria took a step closer. "You know I'm not asking to get suc
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1544 Stopping the Pandemic
Aria walked over and spoke coldly. "We're only getting involved because he's from the state government."If Lily had heard this in the past, she would have dismissed it as a bluff. But now, with Aria's secret as leverage, Lily made a chilling realization—the current Aria was far more dangerous than the one she once knew.Despite being reincarnated, Lily couldn't predict Aria's fate. Aria was the one person Lily couldn't figure out—she only knew the outcome of the past version of Aria. The woman standing before her was a stranger, someone Lily couldn't foresee.A dark thought struck Lily as she took a step back, an awful suspicion settling in. Aria was behind the upheaval in the Carver, York, and Ludwiten business circles, as well as the Hornwell Gold stocks. It was Aria's presence that had disrupted events that should have unfolded differently.The realization made Lily break into a cold sweat. She looked at Aria with fear, and Aria, sensing her unease, felt there was no need to
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1545 Lies
Both cholera and plague were devastating, infectious diseases with the potential to be fatal. Cholera first emerged in the Durin subcontinent, particularly around the Galiath Delta. Local customs, including the practice of disposing of corpses in the river, had also contributed to the outbreak. At the time, Solandria countries lacked the medical knowledge needed to control pandemics. The simultaneous emergence of smallpox and plague left people powerless to defend themselves.It was common for plagues to follow disasters. Still, thanks to current medical advancements, many known diseases could now be contained—unless the virus had an unknown origin, complicating efforts to control it.Aria had her suspicions. Lily had mentioned the pandemic, the resulting economic decline, and how the Wagner family had profited immensely.Her intuition told her the Wagner family was behind the outbreak. She didn't believe they were acting alone; the true masterminds were likely overseas.But thes

"Scholarship program?" Aria asked as her eyes lit up for a moment. Anyone who knew her would realize she had just figured something out, though a few small pieces of the puzzle were still missing. Lily didn't catch on and thought Aria was confused, just like she was. "I have no idea how Orion Draycott used this scholarship thing to become the Chamber of Commerce president. "It should only boost his image instead of doubling his profits. Besides, there are so many billionaires in the Chamber, including elite families like the Grishams. "Even if the Grishams fell from grace, someone else should've stepped up. But somehow the Draycott family has been running the show in Ludwiten these past few years. That's exactly the ending I saw in my past life." Lily resented Orion right now. After all, he had nearly beaten her to death with everyone watching. She was now in a miserable state and was hated by everyone. Though part of that was Aria's doing, Orion had certainly contributed m

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
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1618 Kicking the Grishams Out
"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,
