The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1659 Doomed
Although Leonardo started to calm down after hearing Durand's reassurances, his expression remained grim.Seeing this, Durand approached him with a smile. "Mr. Lincoln, members of the Chamber of Commerce will be arriving soon to celebrate my appointment as acting chairman. You should join us. If it weren't for you, the Grisham family might still be in our way."Leonardo gave only a curt nod, offering no real enthusiasm. He had never held Durand in high regard—he saw him as someone skilled at currying favor but utterly lacking in capability. Still, he kept those thoughts to himself.Durand, however, picked up on the perfunctory tone. Internally, he scoffed at Leonardo, thinking the old man was a fool who didn't know what was good for him. Once Durand officially secured his position, he planned to make Leonardo pay for his condescension.Outwardly, Durand remained respectful, which slightly eased Leonardo's mood. He had been on edge ever since losing contact with Amos.A gnawing reg
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1658 Confess
Over the years, Rocco had been shielded by the fortune he stole. Under normal circumstances, he shouldn't have been able to see the spirits.Amos instinctively stepped back, his face pale. He couldn't help but wonder if Aria was the one who had stripped Rocco of his fortune.But their boss had once told them that the ward protecting Rocco was unbreakable. Even the guardians of the Netherrealm wouldn't be able to interfere with it.After all, the fortune had been borrowed under the permission of the Divine Laws. If allowed, it was supposed to follow Rocco through several lifetimes.Amos' eyes widened in disbelief as he watched Rocco collapse to the floor, sobbing uncontrollably. No one had ever mentioned that Aria possessed knowledge of the Decatorian way.In the room, apart from Aria's subordinates, Amos was the only one left who still faced sentencing.Aria no longer needed to hide anything. She approached Rocco slowly. "Take your time with your revenge," she said softly. "You h
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1657 Deserve It
The crimes Rocco had committed in Southbury revealed just how inhuman he truly was. Fortunately, Aria was well-versed in dealing with people steeped in such malice. She toyed with her amethyst pendant and chuckled. "It sounds impressive—that someone told you using others' blood could bring you fortune and prolong your life."But didn't they also tell you? The more fortune you steal, the more spirits will cling to you."Rocco paused at that, then laughed scornfully. "Spirits? They're nothing but lowly creatures. If they had any strength, they'd have fought back while they were still alive. What can a bunch of nobodies possibly do to me?"His arrogance was suffocating. With all the fortune he'd stolen, he believed that even if he were sentenced to death, he could still enjoy wealth in his next life.Aria saw straight through him. "You're so fearless because you think the fortune you borrowed will secure you a better reincarnation. That's why you're not afraid to die."She smiled c

Amos hadn't expected Aria's investigation to go this deep. If she knew so much, he wondered why she hadn't just detained him from the beginning.Aria could read his thoughts. "Normal economic crimes would be too merciful for people like you. Now then, Mr. Lune—it's time to meet your mentor."With a snap of her fingers, the door on the other side of the room opened.Rocco, who had overheard the entire conversation, was trembling with rage. He looked like he wanted to kill Amos.Now that he finally had the chance to speak, Rocco couldn't contain himself. "You ungrateful bastard! If I hadn't promoted you, you'd still be stuck in that rural backwater! You'd never have achieved anything without me. How dare you pin everything on me!"Amos felt a jolt go through his head at Rocco's words. He turned to Aria and realized that he'd been set up.But Aria ignored him and stood up. Rocco continued screaming at Amos, completely destroying the calm and genteel image he usually maintained.Now
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1655 The Truth
Aria's gaze flickered. "What about them?"Amos hesitated. "I'm sure Mr. Kelsall must have brought this up."Aria smiled. "He only talked about your crimes. There's no way he would expose his own crimes."Upon hearing that, Amos clenched his jaw. "I was just following orders."He looked up at Aria, trying to appear cooperative. "Ms. Carver, I'm sure you have investigated your grandmother's death and the reason behind your mother's fallout with the Grisham family."He continued, "Mr. Kelsall orchestrated all of it. He knew the bond between the Grisham and Carver families dated back to the war era. It wouldn't be easy to break them apart over minor conflicts."Even when your father deceived your uncles, Mr. Grisham Senior still chose to forgive the Carver family. As long as Mr. Carver Senior paid a visit, their relationship held firm."Mr. Kelsall could never understand how they remained so close. But he was determined to drive a wedge between them. Both families held considerable

Amos felt like he was about to faint. No matter how many scenarios he had considered, he never expected Rocco to actually fall under suspicion.Aria stood up, one hand resting on the table. Her voice was calm but clear. "I've taken note of some of your skills. For example, while I was branded a country bumpkin, you were hailed as a born-and-bred Ludwiten citizen—even though we come from the same hometown."Amos' eyes widened. His background was what he cared about the most, and the one thing he had worked desperately to rewrite.He drank hand-ground coffee, listened to vinyl records, and filled his home with Ludwiten antiques, all to convince people he was one of them. But how could Aria know where he was really from?Aria continued slowly, "You look surprised. Your boss filled me in on most of your details."Amos clenched his fists. He didn't want to believe her. But Aria wasn't done yet. "It's not surprising, really. Some higher-ups always need a scapegoat to shield themselves.
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1653 Amos Is Proven Wrong
As Amos was escorted inside, he still didn't believe Lucas could have found out about Rocco. After all, Amos had never directly contacted Rocco. If anything, Cormac appeared more like the mastermind. Everyone knew Cormac was close to Rocco—he was often seen as his protégé.Amos remained calm, assuming the police had only linked him to Cormac because of Aliya's appearance at the auction. He didn't believe they had any solid evidence against him.He thought this was just a trap. But Amos had years of experience in politics, and he wasn't easily rattled. That was why he kept his composure.As soon as he entered, he said evenly, "There must be a misunderstanding. I'll fully cooperate with the investigation, but I hope the Special Missions Unit will clear my name."The agent who had brought him in was from the Special Missions Unit. He wasn't one for polite exchanges and simply gave Amos a brief glance before falling silent. However, this only reinforced Amos' belief that he was in co
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1652 A Huge Scheme
Aria looked up and glanced at Rocco through the one-way mirror. The person behind the Southbury incident wasn't just targeting Janovin. He had spent years meticulously planning, suppressing others to gain power, wealth, and a longer life.To maintain a youthful appearance, he had built an entire supply chain and eliminated anyone who stood in his way. Human lives meant nothing to people like him.They had targeted Georgina in the past, and now the Grisham family was in their sights. Their goal was to seize control of the Chamber of Commerce.By merging the Chamber of Commerce with the scholarship program, they could operate more freely while drawing less suspicion, just like the Gunther family once did at the hospital. No one had suspected that such a reputable institution was, in truth, a slaughterhouse.The deeper Aria investigated, the more convinced she became that a mastermind was orchestrating everything. Then she remembered the pandemic Lily had mentioned. If the hospitals
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1651 Not a Coincidence
Rocco looked at Aria and bit back the questions he wanted to ask. He knew that if he reacted to Amos' arrival, he would give himself away.Despite his deep understanding of government rules and protocols, Rocco couldn't figure out how the Special Missions Unit had found out about his blood transfusion surgery—unless Amos had told them. But that didn't make sense, not even for a powerful organization like the Special Missions Unit.After all, the surgery wasn't documented anywhere. Rocco had made sure not to leave behind any trace that could jeopardize his future.He took a sip of coffee, trying to appear relaxed. But as the minutes dragged on and Aria still hadn't returned, his anxiety deepened.Rocco grew increasingly nervous, trying to predict what Amos might say and how he could spin it if Amos exposed everything. Sweat began to bead on his forehead as his thoughts spiraled.What he didn't know was that Aria was observing his every move from outside the interrogation room. Amos
