Chapter 226 Prioritizing Her Career

ผู้เขียน: Night Eleven
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

    Aria stopped and looked at Iris. "Voice? What kind of voice?"Iris tilted her head. "Well, I don't know how to describe it, but it's definitely calling me over."Aria narrowed her eyes. "If that's the case, lead us there. We'll be right behind you.""Okay. Follow me," Iris said, nodding.Iris walked ahead, with Aria and the others following close behind.Suddenly, Aria glanced at Landon. "Have you already figured something out?"Landon paused briefly, then smiled. "You give me too much credit. I'm not that capable."She studied him for a moment before turning away. "Fair enough. I believe you."They followed Iris to an old building on the edge of Draketown. It looked to be at least a century old, worn with age, and its door secured only by a rusted lock.Just as Aria stepped closer, a middle-aged woman selling things by the roadside called out, "Are you all going in there?""That's right," Aria replied. "We'd like to take a look."The woman frowned. "You'd best stay outside.

    Aria turned slightly. "Look after them. I'll check it out."Landon replied, "Okay."Instead of heading straight for the glass cabinets, Aria stopped before a display filled with trinkets in the middle of the shop. The shelves were lined with imitation bronzeware, silverware, and porcelain—shiny, hollow pieces that betrayed their lack of worth.Still, Aria picked up one of the fakes and gave it a gentle tap, pretending to inspect it closely. "Sir, is this real? It looks ancient."She adopted the guise of an amateur. Blaine gave a faint, knowing smile. "Didn't expect someone your age to take an interest in antiques. Whether it's real or not doesn't matter. What matters is whether you like it. Since you picked it up, maybe you're fated with it."He spoke ambiguously, neither confirming nor denying its authenticity.Aria smiled and picked up a ceremonial amethyst ring. "What about this one? A friend told me a real ceremonial amethyst ring should have a patina, but this one feels to

    Aria continued strolling with Iris, quietly observing her reactions. As they passed by the various shops, Iris' expressions clearly revealed what she liked and disliked.Most of the stores that caught her eye sold Farshyan handicrafts or antiques.Aria turned thoughtful. She couldn't fully see through Iris, but she could sense the girl's purity and kindness. Otherwise, Aria would never have agreed to keep her close.Just then, a news report playing on a nearby shop's TV made Aria pause."Bringing you today's news. The atrocities on Shark Island have been exposed. The island's administrator, Moby Burke, has been brought to justice."He confessed to all his crimes. The NIO's chief, Wesson Laker, will now lead his team to restore a bright tomorrow for Los Stratos."Aria murmured under her breath, "So he's using Moby as a scapegoat to protect himself and those in power." She knew well that someone like Moby couldn't have kept such an operation running alone. There had to be someone

    Another young woman added, "My dad must be worried sick! It's all my fault. I insisted on coming here alone and got captured."What began as scattered whispers soon became a tide of grief that filled the room.Aria waited until they were done before speaking. "Let's go. I'll bring you home."The young women quickly gathered themselves and followed Aria down the hill.When they reached a clearing, they saw all the guests being forced to their knees.Aria looked up and froze when she spotted a familiar face—Wesson Laker from the NIO. She hadn't expected him to be here.Wesson began calmly, though there was a trace of displeasure in his voice. "Ms. Carver, I didn't expect to see you here. We received a tip about illegal activity and partnered with GP to investigate."Aria met his gaze. "Perfect timing, Mr. Laker. The owner of Shark Island is in my custody. What do you plan to do with him?"Wesson forced a thin smile. "Naturally, that'll be up to the courts. If there's nothing else

    Moby found Aria standing there as if nothing had happened while his two bodyguards writhed on the floor in pain. However, they were grinning, as if possessed. "W-Who are you?" Moby finally took her seriously; the arrogance wiped off his face.Aria walked over. "That doesn't matter. What matters is that I want to kill you."She drew a blade, aiming to press it to the side of his neck. Just as the metal nearly touched skin, she stopped. "Is that all it takes to soil your pants?"A dull yellow stain trailed down Moby's robe.He had not expected her to be so capable. His bodyguards had all passed rigorous screening. Each could take down ten ordinary men with ease. Yet none of them matched her. They had been finished in under a minute."Don't kill me," Moby begged, voice trembling. "I can give you anything you want—money, power, men. Anything!"Aria answered calmly. "I don't want any of that. I'm just curious who you are. If you were nobody, the wealthy and influential wouldn't have

    The young woman had clung to hope, believing she could leave this hellhole if she simply obeyed every order. Only now did she see the truth. Once brought here, she would forever be these people's plaything until the day she died—stripped of all freedom, all dignity.The man was right. Every woman who was abducted here was treated as the lowest of the low. They had no freedom, and obedience was their only chance to avoid a beating.If they ever crossed a customer, they'd be killed without a second thought.Aria scanned her surroundings and noticed that the villa's back door wasn't locked. She carefully pushed it open and slipped inside. The interior was luxurious, but the air reeked of blood and disinfectant. The hallway was empty, and her footsteps echoed in the silence.She checked the rooms one by one. Each door she opened filled her with sorrow.Some rooms were scattered with stained clothes and shattered liquor bottles. Others contained instruments of torture—even whips st
