Author: Night Eleven
Clarence paused to think. He then said to Curtis, "I get it. You're paving the way for me, Grandpa. You've never been wrong about people.

"If I stay by her side, even if something happens to the Gallaghers later, she'll have our backs."

"That's right." Curtis patted his face. "You're smart, Clarence. I'm happy you figured that out. But you're missing something. Ms. Carver's goals go way beyond this place. Portfall is just somewhere she's passing through.

"The key is to build a good relationship with her. Becoming her friend is our best bet. If we became her enemy, the Gallaghers would be wiped out in seconds."

Clarence's eyes widened. "Is she that powerful?"

Curtis nodded. "Based on what we've seen, we'd probably go down even faster. Think about it—Chauncey had run this Chamber of Commerce for years, yet why would it collapse in one day?

"Ms. Carver knows how to set things up. She predicted every person and every move ahead of time, so everything ended up exactly how she wa

  • The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 2140 Arrogant and Overbearing

    Aria and Landon stood in front of the stage. When she saw Elijah's long-lost smile, her lips finally curved into a faint smile of her own."And it's done," Landon said. "I've always been impressed with Elijah. He has never once used his status as the second son of the Carver family throughout his acting career. "In fact, Fergus and the others were the same. That's why the Carver family has remained strong for so long. The elders paved the way, and the younger generation expanded it."Aria lifted her chin proudly. "Of course. My brothers are all the best of the best."As the press conference came to a close, Carver Group and York Group almost simultaneously released official statements clarifying the incident.Their posts immediately attracted a flood of comments."I'm sorry, Elijah.""Roan, Lirio, and Marius deserve to be convicted.""Aria, you're amazing."Followers who had unfollowed their accounts returned, while others apologized for their earlier actions. Discussions abo

    "Marius Vale accepted bribes and betrayed Elijah. Roan Kells deliberately and maliciously set Elijah up. He has committed multiple offenses. Lastly, Lirio Zook abused his authority and knowingly violated the law."Aria paused briefly before continuing. "We've submitted relevant evidence to the police. Investigations are already underway against all three individuals I just mentioned."At the same time, we discovered that Roan had committed several additional crimes. We trust that the justice system will deliver a fair and lawful verdict."She stepped forward. "On behalf of Carver Group and Mr. Elijah Carver, I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and distress this incident has caused."We have learned from this experience and will strengthen protections for our family members to ensure nothing like this happens again. That said, I also have a message for everyone."The Carver family will not tolerate being taken lightly. Anyone who harbors ill intentions toward us will live t

  • The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 2138 Clarification

    More and more people began thinking rationally instead of blindly conforming to public opinion. Doubts about the scandal gradually surfaced, and several reputable media outlets urged the public to wait for the full truth before jumping to conclusions.This was exactly how Aria planned to turn the tide. From the beginning, she knew she couldn't intervene directly. Without solid grounds, stepping into Elijah's case would only make things worse.Fortunately, Lirio's bribery case gave her the perfect opening to get involved.At the same time, the York Group's official social media account released a statement regarding Elijah. "The events surrounding Mr. Elijah Carver were intentionally orchestrated. We call on everyone to remain rational and wait for the facts. The York Group will stand alongside the Carver Group throughout this matter."The statement caused an uproar online. "I can't believe York Group actually posted on their social media, and for Elijah, no less! Their account

    Meanwhile, Aria was on her way to the hospital. Not long after, the car came to a stop. As soon as she stepped out, she spotted Landon standing a short distance away. When he saw her, he walked over at an unhurried pace.Aria lifted her chin. "How long have you been waiting? Didn't you already tell me the room number? There was no need to come down and meet me."Landon's gaze softened. "I missed you. That's why I came."Aria reached out and gently smoothed the loose strands of hair on his forehead. "I'm really lucky to have you."Landon looked straight at her. "Me too. Has Lirio been taken care of?"She nodded. "He confessed everything. The Shadow Organization is behind this. It's made up of powerful figures from multiple countries. I just don't understand why an organization like that would target the Carver family." Landon replied calmly, "Shadow Organization? It’s possible they're not just after the Carver family, but the York family as well.""You said their members are

    Lirio had spent his entire career at the police station solving impossible cases and arresting criminals no one else could touch. Yet now, for the first time in his life, he sat on the opposite side of the table, finally experiencing what it meant to be a criminal.He convulsed violently. "You're coercing me! This testimony won't stand! It's too ticklish! Stop it! Stop!"Aria raised an eyebrow. "Coercion? I'm afraid that concept doesn't exist in the SMU. We only deal in evidence."This is just the beginning. Honestly, I hope you don't talk. That way, you'll truly understand what it felt like when you tortured others during interrogation."She paused briefly before adding, "If I actually wanted to coerce you, you'd start talking in ten seconds. Bank passwords in thirty. One minute in, and you'd be begging to die."You and I aren't the same. You took bribes and sent innocent people to jail just to pad your record."It only took three minutes before Lirio started yelling, "I'll talk

    Seeing Lowen swat his hand without a word, Lirio turned and headed outside. What he didn't know was that two black SUVs had already pulled up silently in front of the police station. They sat there like armored beasts. One-way blast-resistant film covered the windows, concealing whoever was inside.The moment Lirio spotted the vehicles, his steps faltered. A group of people dressed in black stood rigidly beside them, their gazes fixed on him.Lirio stammered, "W-Who are you? Please excuse me. I need to go home and change.""Lirio Zook, correct? Take him away." The members of the Special Missions Unit moved in at once, seizing him and dragging him toward the SUV behind them.Lirio's face twitched violently. The arrogance he once carried had vanished without a trace, replaced by naked fear and humiliation. The disturbance drew the attention of officers inside the station, yet not a single one stepped forward."Where are you taking me? I want a lawyer!" Lirio shouted as he strugg
