Chapter 1540 Lily Is Crazy

Author: Night Eleven
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 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

    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

    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

    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

    Miguel pushed his glasses up and looked at Eden. "All the applicants are either left-behind children or raised by grandparents, so everyone's starting from the same place. "Since this money comes from the scholarship program, the situation depends on your own efforts." Eden was confused. "What do you mean, Mr. Sonder? Should I provide additional documentation?" Miguel laughed when he heard her words. "Eden, I've told you before—the paperwork isn't the main concern. What matters is whether students like you would follow instructions. "For example, when I asked you to meet with the executives from the scholarship committee last time, you refused. That's not acceptable, right?" Furrowing her brows, she fidgeted with her clothes nervously. She was clearly uncomfortable and afraid of what Miguel was suggesting. But Miguel acted as if he hadn't noticed her discomfort. He even walked behind her and patted her back. He didn't look like an educator at all, nor did he resemble the ge

    With the help of scholarships, plenty of students had managed to finish school overseas and land jobs at big companies. Eden hoped that once she grew up, she could take care of her grandparents. After all, her grandfather needed medicine year-round and was still trying to cover her school costs. She figured if she could start making money, her grandfather wouldn't have to work so hard anymore. The kinder the child, the less they would understand how cruel people could be. At the same time, Aria didn't leave the villa after meeting with Lily. She needed to get ahead of the information Lily had shared. After Lily was taken away, Simon, who hadn't said a word until now, spoke up, "Boss, we can't let this epidemic happen. I'll check customs again and look at everyone and everything that's come into the country lately." Simon's gift was his incredible memory. In any crowd, he could pick someone out after just one glance. Hearing his words, Aria looked up. "Customs is a dead end.

    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

    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
