The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1573 Miguel Breaks Down
Everyone turned to stare at Aria, their faces filled with disapproval. Eden caught some of the heat too; she wasn't looking so great in their eyes either. "She's so dumb to throw away such a golden opportunity." "She just doesn't get it. Her family's dirt poor, and everyone knows that." Aria heard the whispers around her. She stood her ground, eyes cool at the edges, but her expression never changed. She even let out a soft laugh. "Nice move, Mr. Sonder. A few words and everyone forgets your wrongdoings. Don't worry, though. I've brought you a special gift." As she spoke, she glanced at her watch. "It should be here any minute. Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. You may call me Ms. Carver." Miguel snorted. "I couldn't care less what your name is." In his anger, he'd completely forgotten about the scandal that had been the talk of Ludwiten lately. Aria made a small sound as she hung her helmet on the bike. "I figured since you and Mr. Draycott were so tight, you'd be keep
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1574 Exposed
Parents exchanged glances, and many of them were already frowning. Miguel couldn't figure out how his young mistress had shown up here. This would destroy his career! He lowered his voice so that only she could hear. "Who told you to come? Go home now!" Then he straightened up and called out loudly, "Ma'am, you've got the wrong person. Please take your child away." The artsy-looking woman started to realize there might be some misunderstanding. Normally, she wouldn't appear publicly in front of so many parents. Miguel had warned her that if she wanted a good life, she couldn't interfere with his career. But from the message she'd received today, she was clearly told that he wanted her to bring their son over. Being quick-witted, she tried to leave once she sensed something was wrong. She pulled the boy's hand.But a spoiled sixth-grader as he was, he wouldn't budge without getting what he wanted. "Dad, why are you pretending not to know me and Mom? Is it because of that old wo
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1575 The Final Nail
Winnie's arrival was the final nail in Miguel's coffin. His image as a learned, child-nurturing principal was gone forever. Nothing could be more convincing than testimony from the legitimate wife, so Winnie's appearance really escalated the situation to a whole new level. Parents were snapping photos and recording videos. At first, these would only circulate in social circles, but they quickly spread across the internet. The mistress tried to cover her face while Miguel strained his neck shouting, "Stop filming! Parents, please stop filming! This is a private family matter with misunderstandings!" But it was useless. Spreading gossip was just human nature. At this point, no one would believe this was all a misunderstanding. Winnie hadn't appeared here by accident. The message had not been sent only to the mistress; Winnie received one too. Aria understood the situation, and she knew Winnie was a good teacher who didn't deserve such mistreatment. Winnie also realized someon
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1576 Explain
Miguel never imagined a divorce would come under such circumstances. He stepped forward, reaching out to grab Winnie's hand, hoping to explain himself.But before he could speak, his son, Russell Sonder, suddenly cut in, his voice filled with emotion. "You should've divorced my dad a long time ago. Daddy and Mommy love each other. The only reason a dried-up old hag like you is clinging to him is because he's the principal!"His words sent shockwaves through the crowd. Murmurs spread instantly."Kids don't say stuff like that unless they hear it from adults. Clearly, this is how they've raised him.""No surprise. What else would you expect from a mistress raising a kid?"Russell didn't understand why everyone was criticizing his parents. His voice rose, indignant and defensive. "People who aren't loved in a relationship are the real outsiders! She's not even as pretty or young as my mom. She looks older than my dad! Why won't she just let go?"The onlookers were stunned by the boy
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1577 Her Identity Revealed
Lisa stood frozen in disbelief as the situation turned against her. For years, she had always held the advantage. In her mind, the old, unattractive wife didn't stand a chance—Winnie would be out of Miguel's life soon enough.She had carefully calculated her moves, knowing Winnie's temper was infamous. All she had to do was provoke her. Once Winnie lost control, people would brand her as bitter and unfit to teach, blaming her for her failed marriage.Winnie had long been suffering from psychological distress caused by Miguel's affair. Aria knew this—and it was precisely why she chose to intervene.It was never easy for women. A wife breaking down over her husband's betrayal was often seen as unstable. If she fought back against the mistress, she'd be mocked—labeled hysterical, her efforts seen as pathetic.Sure, the mistress was in the wrong. But public opinion? That rarely sided with the wife. Most people just wanted her to move on. If she didn't, they saw her as the pitiful one w
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1578 Aria Is Dangerous
Miguel was visibly shaken. Until now, he hadn't connected the dots that Aria was from the Carver family. The realization hit him like a thunderclap—his face went ghostly pale, and his lips trembled.He fumbled for an explanation, but deep down, he knew there was nothing he could say that would fix this. Meanwhile, Lina stiffened at the mention of marital property, anxiety flickering across her face.Lina looked at Miguel and asked, "Miguel, she's lying, right?"But Miguel was drowning in panic. Cold sweat soaked his shirt. He couldn't even begin to imagine what kind of storm was coming his way.Lina, no fool, knew exactly whom to plead with. She clung to Winnie's hand in a panic. "Ms. Siegler, I didn't mean for this to happen. Do you really think I seduced him?"Her voice trembled. "What should I do? I've only managed to survive in Ludwiten because of your help… That's why I didn't tell you how he hurt me.""You bitch! You're the one who came onto me!" Miguel exploded, his voice
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1579 Take Aria Away
Amos was visibly agitated—far more than usual—especially after hearing that the young woman he'd carefully selected had been taken away by Aria. He didn't hesitate this time. Without even waiting for more details, he ordered his subordinates to take Aria down.Still, Amos had more pressing matters on his plate. He was on a call, and from the other end, he could tell the person speaking wasn't pleased.A low sigh echoed through the receiver. "If you're not making progress, perhaps it's time to rethink your method. Understand the reality first. Teenagers' education isn't something people at the grassroots level should just poke their noses into.""You're right. I'll take what you said seriously," Amos replied, the deference in his tone hinting that the caller was someone with real power."I've got more meetings lined up, so I won't be back this week. The incident at Oakvale Academy has turned into a real mess. I want to see some results by Monday."Amos understood the implications
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1580 Taking Aria Away
Aria remained motionless as Clyde slowly rose to his feet, leaning heavily on his cane. His brow furrowed.He had always shielded his grandchildren, especially Aria. She was obedient, thoughtful—never the kind to stir up trouble. For something like this to happen, it had to be more than it seemed.Years in the business world had sharpened Clyde's instincts. Even before the officers explained, he sensed this was personal. Someone was targeting Aria. Someone she'd likely crossed without realizing it."Officers," he said in a calm, gravelly voice. "I'm not stopping you from taking my granddaughter in. But may I ask—what exactly are the charges?"Though tension clung to the room like fog, Clyde kept his composure. He didn't raise his voice or act out. Instead, he questioned with clear, deliberate logic. "If you're here to make an arrest, shouldn't your body cameras be on? I don't see any recording."The officers had expected this. The Grishams weren't people one could deal with casual

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
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1625 Winning the Auction
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
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1624 Landon Takes Action
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
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
