The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 197 Where Did You Go
Georgina said, "I've been through this before, so I know the record will be for life if she's really implicated. She's young and just started studying medicine. She can't let this hold her back."Knowing this, Karen was confident she could succeed. Georgina would surely give her the livestream account. After all, Karen understood that Aria's future meant more to Georgina than anything else."Where do I sign?" Georgina asked flatly.Karen instructed with a smile, "Here and here."However, Georgina was very cautious. "How can I be sure you'll keep your promise and bail Aria out? Do you intend just to bring up the Layne family name? They're from Janovin. What connections do they have in Southbury?" Karen cursed inwardly. Georgina was proving more troublesome than anticipated.Karen responded proudly. "Of course, I won't just bring up their name. I have my own connections. I'm friends with Chief Thompson from Waterfront Police Station."While saying that, she showed Georgina the co
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 198 All to Take Responsibility
"Of course." Joel also had a sharp eye.Kreil shuddered and spilled their entire plan in a panicked torrent. While he was clueless about the ordeal online, he confessed to arranging Carol, who claimed that her grandson had fallen into a coma after consuming medication prescribed by Aria. The mastermind, however, was Karen. She'd exploited Heartbound Hall's livestream to frame Aria publicly, ensuring many witnesses. Thus, even if Aria were innocent, her reputation would be tarnished. Kreil saw Aria as a powerless nobody. Fighting back would be seen as resisting arrest. Once detained, Kreil would deal with Aria based on her attitude. Otherwise, she could grovel before Karen until she was pleased. No matter her response, they were confident they'd strip her of her reputation. Yet, Kreil hadn't anticipated the secretary-general's involvement when they took Aria in.Without Joel and Lucas around, Kreil's plan would have succeeded. Upon hearing that, Frances grew furious. Having wo
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 199 Ominous Feeling
Every like, every share on a post or video about StrawberryShortcake lined Ninemyth Entertainment's pockets. The more people discussed or berated her, the more money Ninemyth Entertainment made. StrawberryShortcake got involved in this mess without doing anything. Although she sued them for defamation, it was futile. It was impossible to track down the real person behind the fake IDs. Moreover, there were too many people insulting her. The law couldn't catch them all.In the end, StrawberryShortcake broke down and asked if they would only believe her if she died.At that, Ninemyth Entertainment seized this opportunity and intensified the rumors."She's just all talk. I bet she won't actually kill herself.""She can't take it, so she's putting up this act.""Go on and die, then."These comments, a relentless torrent, crashed down on her.Her parents were left bereft, mourning the loss of their daughter. Meanwhile, Ninemyth Entertainment reveled in their ill-gotten gains—unsca
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 200 Karen Gets Arrested
For some reason, the front desk failed to recognize Karen. Karen couldn't believe she had to ask permission to enter her own company.However, Karen was still happy. She finally got her hands on such a popular livestream account. She could earn money without even doing anything. Thus, she didn't take such a trivial matter to heart."You were too nice to that brat before. How could you give Aria money after chasing her out? Using this tactic, she'll realize she's nothing without our family," Karen said excitedly, placing her coffee cup on the table. However, Marshall was only concerned about one thing. "What did Georgina say when you went to see her?"Karen replied nonchalantly, "What else could she say? Of course, she wants to bail Aria out! The livestream account will be ours in an hour."Marshall refilled her coffee and further probed. "Then?"Karen sneered. "It's entirely up to us whether to release her. Whether she leaves with a police record depends on her attitude. If Aria
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 201 Come With Us
When Marshall saw police officers and Labor Bureau officials at his office, he nearly dropped the phone. He wondered what could have happened to bring them there. Trying to remain calm, Marshall walked forward. "Officers, you…"However, the police officers ignored him and flashed Karen their badges. "Are you Karen Layne?""Yes.""There's a case that requires your cooperation for an investigation. Please come with us."Karen thought they were referring to Aria's case. After all, Kreil did say someone would come looking for her as part of the procedure.Thus, Karen was not worried at all. She replied calmly, "Chief Thompson asked you guys to come over, right? Come and sit down. I'll get you some coffee. Thank you for all of your hard work. If it wasn't for you—"The police officer interjected with a straight face. "Let's talk about the case at the station. You have the right to remain silent."Only then did Karen realize that something was off. "Are you guys from Waterfront Poli
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 202 Chief Thompson Was Arrested
Karen had seen everything through the glass partition. Her head was in a mess. She could barely walk a straight line, only wanting to take a clearer look.However, the two police officers who brought her inside refused to let her look around. Instead, they brought her into another interrogation room. With a click, they secured her to the interrogation chair.Karen's face had turned pale. However, she remained resolute. "I want to see Chief Thompson."She knew what awaited her in the room. Thus, she continued, "If he doesn't show up, I won't say a word."To her surprise, the officers complied with her request. They exchanged glances with the surveillance camera as if waiting to receive instructions."That's an easy request. She wants to meet Chief Thompson, right? Let's bring him to her."Karen felt a sudden wave of fear when the door closed. Still, she reassured herself that everything would be fine as long as Kreil appeared. In the worst-case scenario, there was Jacob. He couldn
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 203 Malicious Comments
The lawyer was responsible for the Kent Corporation's business litigations. He only came over at Marshall's request to check on Karen. However, upon learning about the case, he immediately gave up. Politely bidding the police officers goodbye, he called his law firm to advise severing ties with Kent Corporation."It's not just a business conflict. This incident has the potential to ruin the entire Kent Corporation. Mrs. Kent provoked someone she shouldn't have, but I can't go into the details…"Usually, the stance of a law firm could predict what would happen next. It was just that nobody had caught onto it.Marshall remained oblivious to the urgency, focusing solely on taking control of the livestream.Before the Labor Bureau could complete its investigation, he hid in the washroom to call Georgina. His call was laced with thinly veiled threats. If Georgina continued refusing to sign the contract, he would ensure Aria paid the price."Mom, look at what the netizens are saying.
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 204 Calling Frances
Solo had never seen Landon looking so furious before. The moment Landon answered the phone, his eyes held a chilling indifference.As Landon strode toward the car, the atmosphere around him seemed deadly.His hushed conversation remained a mystery, his words inaudible but the intensity palpable. Even from a distance, those trailing him shivered under his oppressive bearing.They silently questioned the events that had triggered this rare display of raw emotion from the usually stoic Landon. Landon was on the phone for more than 10 minutes. Nobody dared to get near him. They could sense his oppressive bearing even through the glass.After ending the call with Moderator 007, Landon dialed Frances' number.Frances was still at the police station. The more he investigated, the more furious he felt. When he saw Landon's incoming call, anxiety and guilt gnawed at him.Maintaining a polite tone, Landon got straight to the point.

Aliya squinted at the unmasked man beside Aria. Now that his face was fully visible, something about him sparked a flicker of recognition. She lowered her gaze, trying to recall where she'd seen him before.Then a sharp gasp cut through the air."He's from the York family… Janovin's York family! Wait—was he Mr. Crow? Were they working together the whole time?"Even though they were all wealthy people, they weren't in the same ranks. No one dared to mess with the York family at all.If the circumstances were different, the arrogant, wealthy people from earlier would've tried to exchange contacts with Landon. That way, they could've partnered up in the future. However, with what had happened that day, those people were in a daze.Meanwhile, Aria knew those people still had no idea what was going on. So, she just removed her disguise and showed them who she really was.Aliya was stunned by what Aria had done. When she saw who the latter truly was, her gaze was filled with jealousy.
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1631 You Cannot Afford to Offend Him
The wealthy clients that were left behind at the auction had connections to powerful people, and Dave didn't think Aria was capable enough to deal with every one of them. Although Farshya was well-developed, it had always been a country that focused on connections.Power meant everything, and Dave wanted to see how Aria and her team would deal with his guests. If he remembered correctly, Aliya was the daughter of a great leader in the state. She wanted a womb from a young lady because she wanted to have children.Before the clients got what they wanted, Aria had offended a lot of big shots. Dave thought about it for a second and hoped Aria would suffer as much as he did.Dave was right about one thing. Aliya wasn't anxious at all when someone infiltrated the auction and took control of the event. She was only stunned for a moment at first. Once everything had settled down, she calmed down and even looked a little proud."I suggest you talk to your leader first before deciding to cu
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1630 Cleaning Up the Mess
Dave had escaped, but just barely.He'd saved his life, nothing more. The documents he needed to destroy were still intact. Everything had gone completely off script.Every exit had been sealed. If he hadn't killed a villager and disguised himself with a spell, he would've died at the auction. He didn't receive any news about the ambush and was caught entirely off guard.He wasn't in Janovin, and security was that tight there. With his connections, he could've found out what was going to happen in advance. However, that wasn't the case at all.Slipping into a grimy back alley, Dave cursed his luck. Most of his men had been rounded up in the village. He could only hope a few had managed to slip through. But with sirens wailing in the distance, he knew hope was thin."Who the hell was that?" he muttered, wiping dirt off his face with a shaking hand. Normally a stickler for cleanliness, Dave was too rattled to care. "And where's the real Eden?"His mind snapped into action. The scho
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1629 The Mysterious Landon
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
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1628 The Labyrinth
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…
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1627 Cutting Their Losses
"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
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1626 The Special Missions Unit Are Here
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
