Chapter 224 Her Boyfriend Takes Care of Her

Author: Night Eleven
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 guy—righteous, 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 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.

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

    "What?" Marshall was so angry he laughed out loud. "Are you offering only 50,000 dollars for a company as large as mine, Mr. Ingerton?"Harry seemed unperturbed. "You don't want it? Fine."He ended the call so fast that Marshall hadn't even managed to react to it. He remained confused for some time.He called all the noble families he was on good terms with the following day, but no one talked to him.This was Marshall's first time experiencing what it meant to be at the lowest point of his life. When he'd initially driven Georgina away with such delight, he hadn't expected to feel such anguish at this moment. Marshall, who was used to getting deference and respect from other people, was now bankrupt. He couldn't handle the immense pressure that came with it. After thinking of the external debts and the more than 100 employees demanding their salaries, he decided to call Harry. "Mr. Ingerton! I'm willing to sell the company for 50,000 dollars! On one condition—I want to sign the

    Abraham did not sleep well that night. He called Malcolm over for a chat. "Do you think Aria will pass the exams?"Malcolm was tortured for so long his eyes had glazed over. "This is the tenth time you've asked me this, Grandpa. Yes, she will!"Abraham was still worried. "Did I set the threshold too high? 590 points is impossible even for Cameron."Malcolm yawned. "You can't compare that useless lump who's my brother to Aria, Grandpa."Cameron was speechless after being insulted out of nowhere. He was still indignant as he said coldly, "I don't understand why you insist on helping her, Grandpa. She and Lily come from the same family, but look at Lily, then at Aria! "Not only did she get horrible grades, but she'd also cheated! The questions were so difficult, and yet she'd copied the right answers down on the answer sheets as if she wasn't afraid of being exposed for cheating at all!""Quiet, Cameron!" Abraham said crossly, "The next time I hear you say those insulting words, I'

    Lily felt much more relieved after hearing about Aria's situation from Cameron. She'd seen Marshall's calls, but she'd blocked him—she didn't want to return any of his calls.Heartbound Hall's stream was performing so well that she couldn't just ignore it. However, it so happened that her family in the countryside had called to ask for more money. They were even more adept at exploiting her for their own gain than Marshall. It didn't hurt that they were privy to a secret concerning her, either. This meant that Lily couldn't just ignore them all the time. Olivia was audibly anxious as she asked, "So when can you meet us, Lily? Someone came here to ask about Aria again, and your dad and I really don't want to live in constant anxiety like this all the time. Maybe you can come over to the countryside and take us with you to the city."Lily had an idea. "Mom, I recall that the town chief's son has yet to get married."Olivia felt awkward bringing this up. "It's because you didn't wa

    "Why haven't they announced her grades yet?""Did she do so badly that they couldn't grade her papers properly?""She wanted you to apologize to her on your knees, didn't she? That was hilarious.""She's from the countryside. That's why she's boasting all the time. Look! She came with her grandma and the old lady stinks."Georgina heard that, obviously, seeing from how she looked crestfallen. Aria turned her gaze at the clique of students laughing and jeering at her, and the air around her seemed to have become frigid. Meanwhile, someone shouted, "Ms. Warsaw is here!"Deanie was in charge of sticking the results on the bulletin board. In order to quell dissent, she didn't dally, and she also pasted the answer sheets on the board along with the results.Everyone suddenly went quiet as they read the results, their eyes wide in disbelief. Aria scored 150 in Math and 150 in Angladian. Everything was the same as the previous time—she had scored full marks in everything aside from

    Aria didn't gaze at that clique who'd just run away. Many of her classmates flocked toward her, some envious, some just here to offer their congratulations. Some students also came to offer their apologies for having misconceptions about Aria. Aria didn't care much about that, so she smiled in return. The other students were more willing to talk to Aria after that. They asked her about her studying methods and how she managed to memorize the Angladian vocabulary for the exam. Besides that, they also praised her for being able to solve such difficult questions. Aria didn't withhold any information. She wrote the process behind solving these questions on the bulletin board. The classmates, who finally understood the questions, started greeting Aria with respect. Less than half an hour had passed, but Aria had already garnered herself a legion of fans. Cameron was present throughout, and he was completely dumbfounded. He took his phone out, wanting to send Lily a message, but

    Aria looked up, only to see a humble-looking couple outside the door, shouldering heavy bags and looking worn from a long trip.Aria retracted her arm. "Yes, it is."Olivia was pleasantly surprised. "Do you know Dr. Carver, then?""It'll be me. Who are you—"Before Aria could finish her sentence, Olivia covered her mouth and broke out in sobs. "Oh, Aria! My poor child! We've finally found you!"She sobbed with so much grief that she'd almost cried herself hoarse. Aria's neighbors gathered around her. "What's happening?" they asked. "Are they Aria's biological parents?"Aria stopped in the middle of her actions once again and turned her gaze to the couple. Grant Renner had dark skin from being exposed to sunlight for too long. He looked humble with the airs of an impoverished man. "Olivia missed you badly. We were afraid that she wouldn't get to see you, so we took an overnight bus here.""You shouldn't have told Aria that!" Olivia said. She pulled on Grant's sleeve, her ey

    Aliya had never heard of the Special Missions Unit until today. But after seeing Pedro's panicked reaction, it didn't take long for her to realize that this was a group with more authority than even her father.Still, some people lived so long in privilege that they convinced themselves they were untouchable. Logic no longer applied to them.Aria was done entertaining Aliya's ignorance. With a flick of her wrist, she signaled someone to silence her. Then, she turned to Aliya with icy disdain."Don't worry," Aria said. "I'll take you with me when I pay your father a visit. Then we can ask him together what his name truly means in this state."Her voice was calm but sharp."You seem to have forgotten that his power—any power—comes from the people. And now, you're using that power to treat their lives like currency. To buy yourself a life of superiority."She stepped closer. "Organ trafficking is illegal here. That's the crime we've confirmed so far. But don't worry. We'll find the

    When Pedro heard that it was the Special Missions Unit, his forehead was covered in sweat immediately. Even his mind had gone blank. At that moment, all he could think about was how doomed they were!Others might not have heard of the unit before. However, as a state official, there was no way Pedro wouldn't know them. In fact, the Special Missions Unit was something they had no control over.Technically, the Special Missions Unit had way more clearance than they did. After all, they were in charge of big cases. Sometimes, they would even work with the special troops.The Special Missions Unit belonged to the country, and they were extremely mysterious. Even people with high clearance wouldn't know who they were in real life.Pedro only managed to find his voice after a long time. As he wiped the sweat off his forehead, he chuckled awkwardly."Oh, this is all a misunderstanding. May I know who I am speaking to?

    Aliya had never met Aria before, but this was the first time she'd seen a young woman more poised—and far more arrogant—than herself. That only fueled her rage. And the fact that Aria was stunningly beautiful didn't help either.Scoffing, she snapped, "Do you dare let us make our calls? Let's see if you still look so smug after that."The other wealthy attendees stiffened. None of them moved. With Aria in the room, they had the sinking feeling that calling in favors wouldn't end well.Aria merely tilted her head and smiled. "Of course," she said, then turned to her team. "Please hand this lady her phone. Let her make her call."The members of the Special Missions Unit didn't question her. They knew Aria well enough to understand what she was doing—she wanted the bigger fish. The call would be recorded, and with any luck, it would lead them straight to someone higher up the chain.Aliya was momentarily thrown off by Aria's easy agreement. But she quickly chalked it up to ignorance.

    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 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

    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

    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

    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…

    "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
