The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Callย ย ย Chapter 219 She Is a Devil
The highly discussed Aria was still in the cab dealing with her work.She was finalizing the Kent Corporation acquisition. Setting traps and analyzing data, she devised a long-term strategy for maximum profit.Once everything was ready, she contacted Harry. "Go and inform Marshall that Grand Construction Corp. will give him three minutes to state his case."Harry was excited. "It's a foolproof negotiation tactic. I understand!"A company whose market value had plummeted to rock bottom was the perfect acquisition target.By the time Aria completed this task, it was already 9:00 am. The exam was set to start at 9:30 am, but even after getting out of the car, Aria continued to be engrossed in her phone.Moderator 007 also reached out to Aria. Knowing she was released, he sent several messages expressing his regrets on behalf of the platform.Aria smiled. "I need to thank you, too."It wasn't easy for the platform to support her and not ban her account under immense pressure. This
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Callย ย ย Chapter 220 Too Fast
Malcolm felt goosebumps forming over his skin. "Grandpa, I think Aria can manage by herself."He felt the overwhelming sense of pressure again.Aria smiled. "He's right."After saying that, she disappeared into the building. Abraham twisted Malcolm's ear. "What do you mean she can do it by herself? Didn't you see her grades? If she fails this time, I'll kick you out of the Lowe family, you brat!"Not only did Malcolm have to get up early, but he also received a scolding. It wasn't even his exam, yet he'd be punished if Aria didn't perform well. Malcolm began to question whether he was Abraham's biological grandson. Abraham fretted. Cases like Aria's were rare. Though most students knew she was innocent, her release was barely ten hours ago.The official report lacked details as the full investigation was still ongoing. It would take at least five days to understand Aria's involvement clearly. Thus, some students still had some reservations about her."Her being able to cure
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Callย ย ย Chapter 221 Is That Her Boyfriend
Aria didn't need to split her exams into two days. At this pace, she could finish all her papers by 3:00 pm. This unprecedented pace forced the teachers to adjust their grading schedule. They all planned to work overtime that night to get her papers graded promptly.Aria powered through the exams until 12:00 pm.The proctor quickly collected the papers and sealed them in front of the class. This time, even the grading process would be made public to prove Aria's abilities.Aria was starving by the time she finished her morning exams. Malcolm obeyed his grandfather and took her out to eat.When he appeared, there were many onlookers."Is he Aria's boyfriend? He's so handsome."Malcolm's appearance matched the latest trend. He had single eyelids, a high nose bridge, and youthful features. He was only three years older than Aria. He still looked like a student, making them look like peers.Someone already posted their photos on the school forum. "They look perfect together!"
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Callย ย ย Chapter 222 My Girlfriend
Aria raised her eyebrows, thinking Landon had made quite a dramatic entrance.Landon's good looks and proximity to Aria caused the cafeteria to erupt in wide-eyed stares, especially from Malcolm, who nearly dropped his utensils on the table.Landon, impeccably dressed in a suit, seemed oblivious. He leaned in, tucking a strand of Aria's hair behind her ear with a chuckle. "Could you ask your classmate to scoot over a bit? I brought you lunch."Aria set down her spoon, propping her chin on a hand. "He's not a classmate but a friend from the Lowe family. Why didn't you tell me you were coming back?"Landon sneered when he heard the word "friend". Then, he loosened his collar and smiled brightly. "I just got off the plane and didn't have time to message you."As he spoke, he threw a glance at Malcolm. "Can I have my girlfriend back, please?"The request, delivered in a polite yet unyielding tone, was underscored by a dark, domineering glint in his eyes.Malcolm gulped and relented,
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Callย ย ย Chapter 223 A Jealous Landon
Aria was devouring the ribs in the cafeteria while Landon looked at her from beside. It seemed he was only there to bring her lunch and nothing more.Girls flocked around, ogling at Landon. He responded with a raised eyebrow and the occasional sickly cough. He exuded an air of unattainable mystique, approachable only to Aria. "Aren't you going to eat?" asked Aria. "I have a business lunch later," Landon replied, his refined manners starkly contrasting with the students around him. Plus, he also exuded a commanding presence. He then sent a voice message in Nobeetan, his voice surprisingly dreamy. Seeing he was busy, Aria didn't disturb him.The roasted ribs, pork belly, and prawn suited her tastebuds more, and since Landon had a weak stomach, he was better off drinking soup. With that in mind, Aria pushed the mushroom soup toward him. Landon smiled, phone still in hand, before taking the spoon from her and bringing it to his lips for two delicate sips. The action was intim
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Callย ย ย Chapter 224 Her Boyfriend Takes Care of Her
Landon's dismissal of her taste rankled Aria. She wasn't one to tolerate gaslighting. Just as she opened her mouth to retort, she caught his gaze flit to Malcolm. Understanding dawned, and a slow grin spread across her face. "Do you think I'm interested in Malcolm?"Landon remained silent, his eyes an unreadable storm. "You don't like Malcolm?" Aria pressed, arching her eyebrow. "The Lowe family raised him well," Landon hedged, avoiding a direct answer. Aria's smile widened. "So you dislike him, then? Malcolm's a good guyโrighteous, innocent, and youthful."A dangerous glint flickered in Landon's eyes despite the lingering smile on his lips. "Oh?" Aria didn't plan to hide. "I only treat him as my subordinate."After Landon mulled over the word's meaning, he didn't seem as intimidating anymore.His behavior today was out of character. Perhaps it was the scene he saw when he entered the door, almost causing him to lose control. It seemed that he needed to head to the old mona
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Callย ย ย Chapter 225 My Grandson Is Taken
The ever-polite butler informed Aria, "Mr. York is currently in a meeting. He instructed us to tell you that you can reach him on his personal number when you're awake. He will take your calls.""No need. Let him have his meeting in peace. I'll need to take my exam too. Thank you for your coffee. It's delicious," Aria replied smilingly.The butler smiled. "It's my honor to serve you."For someone under Landon's care, Aria displayed remarkable composure.Aria entered the examination hall five minutes earlier.Normally, students would be low on energy for afternoon exams. However, Aria was well rested. She completed her answers even faster than she had in the morning.By 4:00 pm, Aria had finished all her exams and handed in her papers.The grading teachers had been eagerly awaiting her answers.Once the papers were collected, Abraham used the PA system to announce to all students and faculty that Aria's results would be posted on the bulletin board tomorrow morning. Anyone inter
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Callย ย ย Chapter 226 Prioritizing Her Career
Aria, who had just finished her exams, had no idea that she was the hottest topic of conversation between the socialites in Janovin. Her way of thinking differed from theirs, making it natural that she wouldn't be too chummy with them. Aria prioritized her career and preferred earning more money over thinking about men.Aria exited the examination hall and entered an SUV, where Harry awaited. He showed her the acquisition proposal he'd prepared. "The price can be lower," Aria said while circling something with a pen, "Shonda Jenner, the business manager of Kent Group, can stay, but fire everyone else."Harry nodded. "I'll arrange for that right away.""We're not in a hurry." Aria propped her chin on her palm as she fiddled with her amethyst pendant. "Wait till Marshall is on his last legs before heading over there."Soon, as if her words had come true, Kent Group came to be in a serious crisis. Both their business partners and the four largest banks in Southbury were no longer

The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Callย ย ย Chapter 1629 The Mysterious Landon
Landon's sudden appearance wasn't just a coincidence. With Aria's intelligence, she would figure something out soonโhe 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 placeโฆ 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 trueโhandsome 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 Callย ย ย Chapter 1628 The Labyrinth
Landon was still handling the stragglers behind Aria when he paused, his gaze flicking upward. Cameras were mounted in every cornerโtoo 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 incomprehensibleโsomething rhythmic, otherworldly. It was less like a speech and more like a chantโan 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 itโone designed to kill anyone who dared to enter, no matter their strength. Dave wasn't afraid. He had more pressing prioritiesโdestroying documents, erasing traces, minimizing damage.His bodyguard stayed close, watching for anyone who might try to stop them.Aria, moving swiftly, reached the lower floorโonly to halt. Mist curled along the ground, thickening with every step. The air turned icy. And the corridor behind herโฆ
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Callย ย ย 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 Callย ย ย 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 townโit'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 Callย ย ย 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. Pleaseโcarry on, everyone."Aria listened in stunned silence. Landon hadn't lied. His life
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Callย ย ย 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 sayingโbut 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 biddingโcongratulations to our newest member, Mr. Tigerโ""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 Callย ย ย Chapter 1623 Waiting for Sam
Aria had once told Sam to avoid chaos if he couldโbut 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 toughโit 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 Callย ย ย 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 herโher bodyguardโwho 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 resistโhe'd seen what she was capable of.And she'd made her warning crystal clearโif 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 herโfresh, 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 classโbut 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'sโ""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 Murrayโthe new secr
