Chapter 1997 Discovery

Author: Night Eleven
Aria kept her composure, meeting Fennel's stare head-on. She could feel the heavy wrath clinging to him. But she still did not know where it came from.

"I'll be straight with you." Aria's gaze stayed casual, almost careless. "As an esoteric expert, when people hire me to check their layout, I have to tell them what's wrong. Otherwise, I'd be taking money without doing the job.

"That's bad for business if word got out."

Fennel answered, "Well said."

He strode inside, his dress shoes thudding against the marble. His eyes swept over Aria, and his mouth twisted into a smile that didn't reach his eyes. "That's why I rushed right back when Charlotte told me what you'd found. I had to meet an expert like you in person."

As he spoke, Aria noticed something on his right ring finger—an unusual emerald ring. The pale green stone had thin red veins running through it.

"You're too kind, Mr. Mourne." Aria stayed relaxed on the couch. "I've just picked up a few tricks here and there."

    Aria had no idea who was pulling Fennel's strings yet. One thing was clear, though—whoever it was certainly held a way more powerful position than Fennel did. "We'll just wait for him to screw up then." Landon looked up. "Once we wrap this up, I need to take Sam away for a bit." Hearing this, Aria turned to look at him. "Where to?" Landon lowered his gaze. "I'm taking him along to deal with something. We probably need about a week. I'll bring him back to you when we're done." Aria glanced back at Sam, who'd already conked out against the window. She could tell something was off too. No matter where they were, Sam's priorities never changed. He cared most about food and making money. Then finally, he would sleep off the food coma. "Is it about Sam?" Aria picked up on it immediately. "He's different from before. He's been sleeping way too much." Landon looked at her and nodded. "Yeah. But it's nothing major, so it won't take long to fix." Aria's eyes narrowed slightly. "W

    Sam had been listening to Aria and Landon talking. Seeing his chance, he got up and squeezed between them. He then plopped down in the middle. "Mr. ATM's got a point. The middle seat is perfect for me." Landon felt speechless. He then spoke casually as he stared at Sam. "So you do remember what I said in the car." Aria's eyes danced with laughter. "Sam, I'm heading to the Mourne residence tomorrow. Stay with Mr. ATM and do what he says." "Sure thing." Sam cocked his head to the side. "I'll do whatever you say, even if you're asking me to listen to somebody else." Aria got to her feet. "Get a good night's rest. We've got clues to track down tomorrow. You guys should sleep too." The night dragged on forever, but Aria fell asleep not long after hitting the pillow. By the time she woke up, sunlight was already spilling across her windowsill. She cracked her eyes open. After glancing at the time, she hauled herself up to get washed and dressed. "You're up." Landon had woken

    Sam did what Aria told him and walked to the center of the manifestation. Aria then gave the order and said, "Now." Sam lifted his foot and stomped down hard. The whole manifestation blazed with blinding red light, then went completely dark. …The moment the manifestation shattered, Sylas' eyes snapped open, somewhere far away. "What the…" Sylas couldn't believe it. The fortune he'd been collecting instantly scattered, all of it flowing back toward the Grissle residence. Sylas looked up. "Who ruined my plans?" Jorrell heard him and rushed in from outside. "Sir, what happened?" Sylas frowned hard. "Someone destroyed the Fortune Siphon Manifestation I set up at the Grissle residence." "Do you want me to send people to investigate?" Jorrell lowered his voice. "Not many people know about your plan, after all." Sylas' eyes went sharp. He had set up that manifestation at the Grissles' years ago. When he saw how desperate Heather was, he offered to help her—as long as she t

    There was a glass jar sitting on the altar. A heart floated inside it, soaking in some kind of liquid. The thing had turned completely black. Seven white candles sat around the heart. The melting wax dripped onto the table, making these disturbing patterns. "Are you doing okay?" Aria glanced back at Landon with a frown. "This place really doesn't seem like your scene." Landon's eyes narrowed. "I'm fine. That heart's been sitting there a while from the look of it." "The whole thing's gone black." Aria kept her voice casual. "This is definitely Heather's work. I just don't get why she's keeping a heart down here." Aria looked up at the wall behind the altar. A black and white photo hung there. It was a young woman in an old-style dress. She had a pretty face, but her eyes were totally blank. Someone had taken a red marker and drawn a huge X right across the middle of the photo. Then Aria spotted someone kneeling in front of the altar. It was Heather. She had her back to the

    The whole point of Aria's show was to make Charlotte trust her abilities. If Charlotte could invite Aria over to her house to check the esoteric patterns, it would make investigating way easier. Right then, an older woman came downstairs. It was Jubal's stepmother, Heather Gunter. Heather frowned at him, looking annoyed. "Jubal, what's going on here?" Jubal's tone conveyed zero respect. "I invited everyone over for dinner. Do you have a problem with that?" Heather's voice got low. "Why didn't anyone tell me about this? I'm your father's wife. Don't I have a right to know what's happening in this house?" "You're getting old, so I figured you need your rest." Jubal's words had an edge to them. "Besides, this is the Grissle residence, and I'm the eldest son. I should have some say around here, right?" While they were arguing, Aria scanned the room, looking for something. Then she spotted it—a small door in the hall that nobody would normally notice. It had a padlock on it and a
